5. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :

Time is invaluable. It flows on ceaselessly without any consideration for the convenience of any man, however important or high-placed he may be. And time once gone is gone forever. Lost wealth may be regained by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance and medicine but lost time cannot be recovered by any means. Many do not realise this. They waste their time, thinking that they would make up for the loss in future. But the hope may never be realised. Every moment of our time has its particular duty. Putting off our works, therefore, means over-burdening us, that is making our tasks heavier and more difficult in future. This is why students who neglect their studies on a day to day basis often fail in spite of putting in very hard labour before the examination. They can neither acquire knowledge nor build up character and suffer all their life in consequence. Besides, who can say what this future will be, — whether it will not be worse than the present? Some unforeseen obstacles may arise, we may be suddenly taken ill; there may be some family calamity; financial difficulties may fall upon us, and then we shall find that the task has become much harder, if not too hard. Moreover, if we begin to put off things, we shall soon get into the habit of indolence and thus slowly bring about our own ruin.

(a) State whether the following statements are True or False. Write ‘T for True and F’ for False. ( You need not write the sentences, write only the numbers ) 1×4 = 4

(i) The loss of time can be regained. (F)

(ii) A wise man always wastes time. (F)

(iii) A man cannot make up his health. (F)

(iv) A lost moment is lost forever. (T)

(b) Answer each of the following questions in about 30 words : 2×3 = 6

(i) Name the things that can be recovered by man.
Ans. Lost wealth may be regained by industry, lost knowledge by study and lost health can be restored by temperance and medicine.

(ii) How can one make one’s task harder ?
Ans. By accumulating work we overburden ourselves and that overburdened condition makes the task harder and heavier.

(iii) How can a student fail in the examination ?
Ans. Students who neglect their day to day studies often fail in the examination in spite of toiling hard before it.

6. (a) Write a report on the annual sports of your school, to be published in the school magazine. ( Word limit : 150 words ) 2 + 8=10

(b) Your company makes wooden furniture and a customer wants to buy 15 chairs. Write a reply to the customer’s enquiry. Mention the rates, time needed for delivery, delivery cost in your letter. (Word limit : 150 words) 2 + 8=10

OR

(c) Write a precis of the following passage. Add a suitable title. 2+8=10

Vidyasagar had both the originality of a genius and the sterling strength of a heroic character. He thought out a new technique of teaching Sanskrit more easily to beginners and wrote a series of primers in the Sanskrit language and literature adapted to modern needs. He also arranged for the collection and preservation of old Sanskrit books. In Bengali prose, Vidyasagar’s work, was a landmark. He evolved an elegant, although a bit too stately and chaste style of writing which impressed everybody. Between 1847 and 1863, he wrote a series of books in Bengali which became classics to the students of literature. In these, he drew his material impartially from the Indian epics and popular tales as well as from western fables and biographies. His ‘Bengali Primer’ for beginners is even today in household use. But Vidyasagar was no mere scholar or a man of letters. As an educational reformer, he opened the doors of Sanskrit college to non-Brahmin boys and provided for classical scholars to teach some English Education as well. As an administrator of vision, he rendered splendid service in his capacity of a government inspector and in four districts he organised a total of 35 girls’ schools and 20 model schools. He was closely associated from its early days with the institution which now bears his name and which under his fostering care became the outstanding example of a non-official,secular and popular institution for higher education with a purely Indian teaching staff. He was equally interested in women’s higher education, and was secretary of the Bethune Collegiate School for sometime. (256 words)
