Did you understand someone else better after you had read what he/she wrote?
Answer:
I enjoy peace. Every day I take time to sit and get a me-time. I do this on the terrace in the evening or in the nearby park in the morning. Doing so, I do not use my earphones or mobile or anything.
In the morning, I just look at the birds flying around and the sun in the sky. I enjoy the sound of the birds chirping and the leaves rustling against each other because of the peaceful breeze.
In the evening, I look at the stars and try to find out shapes they make.
Yes, the notes on the wall helped me to understand my friends better when I read what they had written.

Answer:
I find solace in peaceful moments. Each day, I set aside some time to sit and have moments to myself. I usually do this either on the terrace in the evening or at the nearby park in the morning. During this time, I avoid using my earphones, mobile phone, or any other distractions.
In the morning, I simply observe the birds flying around and the sun in the sky. I take delight in the pleasant sounds of the birds chirping and the leaves softly rustling in the calm breeze.
In the evening, I gaze at the stars and try to identify the shapes they form.
Moreover, the notes on my wall have aided me in understanding my friends better, as I read the thoughts they’ve penned down.

Speaking
A. Why does Radha’s mother tell her that it is not suitable for girls to climb trees? Find points to agree with Radha or her mother.
Plan what you will say by making notes like this:
Girls should be able to climb trees if they wish
1. ———————————————————————————————————
2. ———————————————————————————————————
3. ———————————————————————————————————
Girls should not be allowed to climb trees
1. ———————————————————————————————————
2. ———————————————————————————————————
3. ———————————————————————————————————
Now divide the class into two groups. Present to the rest of the class the opinion of Radha who thinks there is no harm in girls climbing trees and of her mother who thinks girls should not do this.
In my thoughts,
Girls should have the freedom to climb trees if they want.
- Girls should get to do what they want.
- Not letting girls climb trees shows a society where people think boys are better than girls.
- Making things better starts with small actions. Treating boys and girls the same when they are young is how we can make big changes in society.
B. Sit in a circle so that you can see each other. Each one must talk to complete the following sentence in your own way.
“What makes me very angry is …”
Remember to listen with respect and without comment to each person as he/she speaks.
Answer: Do it yourself.
