We appreciate the value of something only when we are about to lose it. Explain this with reference to the French, language, and M. Hamel.
Answer:
The Last Lesson’, written by Alphonse Daudet describes the year 1870 when the Prussian forces under Bismarck attacked and captured France. Alsace and Lorraine, districts of France went into Prussian hands. The new Prussian rulers issued an order that only German should be taught in all schools. The French teachers were asked to leave with immediate effect. The story describes the last day of one such French class under M. Hamel. M. Hamel had taught French for forty years. Most of them never knew the value of the teacher’s devotion and dedicated service.

We do not always get an opportunity to learn, and this is never understood till the end. Luck doesn’t favour always. Likewise, opportunity knocks ones. Time should be valued. Procrastination is a sin. Most of us end up delaying things. Unless we are constant and regular in our efforts, we cannot achieve our goals.

When things come easy, we do not realize their value. Time and tide wait for no man. The entire village knew the value of Mr. Hamel and his teaching only when he was asked to leave. There was no use in their regrets. It was all too late. Therefore, let’s remember that we should make hay when the sun shines and not weep in vain.
‘Understand, your worth; Value your life; Appreciate your blessings’

Hello! I’m Santhiya. I want to write about my mobile phone. I got it from my parents for my birthday two years back. I like it very much and I think it’s sometimes good to have it in my bag.

I always keep it in my bag or in my pocket so my parents and my friends can always call me. It’s got a calculator in it so I use it frequently to calculate. It’s also a kind of information file. I can use my mobile phone to connect to the Internet and look through the news or read emails. Isn’t it fantastic?

Last year I was cycling with my friend on a holiday with my friend. We went cycling but the weather wasn’t good. It was cold and windy. It started to rain and it got dark. Suddenly my friend fell off her bike and broke her leg. At first, I didn’t know what to do but then I thought about my phone.

It was in my backpack so I telephoned for help. After fifteen minutes a doctor arrived. Sometimes people are not keen on mobile phones. They are a real problem because they always ring at the wrong moment. I’m not crazy about my mobile phone but I feel safe when I have it with me.

Question 1.
Give a detailed account of all thoughts and questions in the narrator’s mind while accompanying Aditya from the tea shop to Sanyal’s house?
Answer:
The narrator had noticed the keen interest of Aditya in seeing the tea shop at Bramhapur if it still existed. They saw Sasanka Sanyal another customer seated in one comer of the Nagen’s Tea Cabin. When that customer was asked to leave by Nagen the owner, he behaved strangely and reacted sharply. Before leaving the place, he stretched himself, raised his lean arm and with diluted eyes recited a poem by Tagore.

On hearing this poem and seeing the customer’s strange gesture of Namaste, Aditya’s expression changed. The narrator noticed the eagerness in Aditya to know who the gentlemen were and what he was doing. The information he had received from Nagen’s uncle perturbed Aditya. He was distressed perhaps to know that the man lost his wife and only son last year.

When he left, Aditya was bent on knowing where the gentleman stayed and drove straight to his ancestral house with firm determination. His nerves seemed overwrought for some reason and he felt a strong necessity to visit his house. Aditya was totally a different person now and he expressed keen interest to visit his house where he lived twenty-nine years ago.

Question 3.
Give a brief character sketch of Sasanka Sanyal?
Answer:
Conclusion:
Aditya brought the medal and gave it to Sanyal. He was happy. His joy has no bounds when he got the medal back. For him, his reputation was greater than the money.

Sasanka Sanyal was a wise and intelligent student. Perhaps luck never favoured him. He may have been a book-worm. However, he was overpowered by his friends because of his innocence. Hence, Aditya Narayan Chowdhury exploits him and takes away the Silver medal that he had received for Poetry Recitation.

Physical Activities
By Jansi

There are many reasons why regular activity boosts our health. We know that being active is one of the best ways to keep our bodies healthy. Regular physical activity or exercise can relieve stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. One may feel a good sensation after doing physical activity. Most people notice that they feel better over time as physical activity becomes a regular part of their lives.

Without regular activity, our body slowly loses it strength, stamina, and ability to function properly. Exercises increase muscle strength, which in turn increases our ability to do other physical activities. Physical exercise makes our muscles strong and stout. It helps to digest food. It also helps the free circulation of blood and keeps our minds fresh.

As a result, the people who take physical exercise regularly are free from various diseases. It should be taken at the proper place and time. It should be taken in an open area in the morning or in the evening. As health is wealth, we should take physical exercise regularly to keep this wealth good. It should also be remembered that too much physical exercise is harmful to health. Needless to say that over-exercise can deform and fracture different organs of our bodies.

(ii) The service provided by the conservancy workers in your city is very poor. You find all the street corners dumped with garbage thrown by the residents of the locality. It causes a menace for the public at large. You are Ramya/Rajan of Class X, studying in TM Model School, Dharmapuri. Write an article in about 150-200 words to the editor of The Indian Express, about this and suggest ways by which the situation could be improved.

Garbage Menace
By Rajan

I would like to bring to the notice of the authority concerned through your leading newspaper about the garbage menace in our locality. The sanitary condition of our streets is getting worse as they are dumped with garbage thrown by the residents of this area.

It causes a menace for the public at large. The streets with heaps of garbage as the sweepers absent themselves often, though we have complained to the authorities, we haven’t got any response from them.

These garbage heaps are a source of noxious stink and spreading of so many diseases. This garbage has lots of plastic and other dangerous substances in it. When these substances are burnt toxic gases are released into the atmosphere.

These pose a serious threat to the health of residents especially children and aged people. I appeal to the authorities concerned to look into this matter and take stern actions for the speedy disposal of the garbage heaps.

(iii) Recently while returning home from school you were knocked down by a speeding motorcycle. You escaped with minor injuries. You are Kishore/ Kavitha of class XI, studying in GHSS, Coimbatore. Write an article to The Hindu, in about 150-200 words expressing your concern about the increasing number of road accidents due to reckless driving. Also, stress the importance of following traffic rules.

The importance of following Traffic Rules.
By Kishore

Traffic rules are framed to protect us on the road. We must follow them carefully, when we fail to follow them, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but also the innocent bystanders and drivers. By following the rules of the road, practicing good driving skills, and generally taking care as a good road user, one may play a vital role in preventing an accident.

As the traffic is increasing day by day in the country, the government is making new roads for a better environment and to avoid such hustle and bustle on the roads. It is necessary that rules are to be followed by each and every citizen.

People have to follow the traffic signals sincerely. This helps them for their safe journey. People should also avoid using mobile phones while driving a motor car or motorcycle. If we follow the rules of the road, the accidents will not follow us. I request you to publish in the column of your esteemed daily for the benefits of the motorists as well as the public.

Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889, in London England. His birth name was Charles Spencer Chaplin, though he had many nicknames growing up such as Charlie, Charlot, and The Little Tramp.

His father, Charles Chaplin, and his mother, Hannah Chaplin, were inducted into the music hall of fame, leading the way to his exposure even as a young boy. His first onstage moment was when he was 5 years old; he sang a song that was intended to be sung by his own mother; she had become ill at the time of the performance, so little Charlie Chaplin stood instead and performed for his mother.

Charlie Chaplin came to the United States in 1910, at the age of 21. He was brought to New York, which was known to be a great place to start out for anyone trying to become a professional actor. Two years later, in 1913, Chaplin signed his very first contract at Keystone and it was no time before he headed to Hollywood.

His first movie premiered in 1914, “Making a Living,” and went on to make over 35 movies total in that year alone. Charlie Chaplin grew to become one of the most popular and successful actors of all time. The moment that really kicked off his long career was in 1921 when he starred in, and produced, his fi rst full length film called “The Kid.” From then on, most people all over the world knew Charlie Chaplin and loved his movies. He had a great career and life, dying on December 25, 1977, in Vevey, Switzerland. He had apparently died of natural causes in his sleep from old age.

H. Read the incident again and answer the following questions.

The tie that does not bind

“Oh, so you’re going abroad? Can you bring me back …..?” I’ve been asked to bring back a vaccine for a course. Once I searched the suburbs of Paris for two days for a special brand of ceramic paint. Having spent a lot of money for Cartier lighter refills, I had them confiscated at the airport just before boarding because the gas might be dangerous in the air.

Now, two months before a trip, I stop talking to people so they won’t suspect I’m about to travel. But someone always catches me.” I’ve heard you’re going to New York, and I want you to get something for me. It’s just a little thing you can find anywhere. I don’t know exactly how much
it costs, but it shouldn’t be much. We’ll settle up when you get back”.

What Gilson asked me to buy was, in fact, a little thing: a tie. But not just any tie. He wanted a tie with a small embroidered G. Any colour would do, as long as it had his initials. Look, this is a special flight, I explained. We are only staying Saturday through Tuesday. On the day we arrived
I didn’t have time to think about the tie, but strolling around on Sunday I did see ties bearing various letters in more than one shop window. They were cheap, just a dollar, but all the shops were closed.

On Monday, lunch lasted the whole afternoon. Then it was Tuesday morning, time to leave. It was only when I saw our airport bus waiting outside the hotel that I remembered the tie.

I told the group to go on. I would get a taxi to the airport. And so I went in search of a nearby shop where I had seen ties.

But I couldn’t find it. I walked further down the street – one, two, three blocks – all in vain. Back at the hotel, a bit anxious now, I took my suitcase, got a taxi and asked the driver to rush to the street where I had seen them.

The driver stopped at each shop we passed so I could look from the window. The stores had all sorts of ties, but not the kind I was looking for.

When I finally thought I had located the right shop, I decided to go in and check. The driver refused to wait. Parking was prohibited, he said. I promised to double the fare, jumped out, and ran into the shop. Was I going to miss the plane just for a damned tie?

The salesman was unbearably slow. When I realized that the smallest change I had was a ten-dollar note, I grabbed ten ties of different colours so I wouldn’t have to wait for change. I rushed out with the ties in a paper bag.

On the street, I looked around. The taxi had vanished, taking my suitcase. What is more, I was going to miss the plane.

I ran to the corner, and hope flared up again: the taxi was waiting in the next street. Quick to the airport! As I settled down inside the taxi. I sighed with relief. Gilson was going to have enough initialized ties to last him a lifetime.

Distinguished Chief Guest, respected Headmaster, beloved Teachers, Parents and my dear Students. Good evening to each one who has gathered here on this auspicious occasion.

First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you all for selecting me as the President of ELA.

Our vision is to make St. Loyola school a full-fledged school where each student will converse and communicate in English effectively and easily. We know that it is a Hillarian task but we still aspire and labour for it. A Chinese proverb says, “If you are planning for a year, sow corns, if you are planning for a decade plant trees and if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people!

The ELA has been conducting various activities and competitions to improve the language skills of the students. The ELA in our school has constituted an executive committee with our English teacher as in charge, a President, a vice president, and a secretary.

We are planning to conduct a number of activities and competitions throughout the year to improve the study skills and language skills of the students. This year we conduct an English week and every student will get an opportunity to participate and bring forth their talents and potentials.

Before I conclude, I wish to extend my heart-felt gratitude to the management, our Head master, teachers, and students for their involvement to make the programme a grand success. I thank you one and all.

H. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow

Bungee jumping is an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a long elastic cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or helicopter, that has the ability to hover above the ground. The thrill comes from the free-falling and the rebound. When the person jumps, the cord stretches and the jumper flies upwards again as the cord recoils and continues to oscillate up and down until all the kinetic energy is dissipated.

Jumping Heights, located in Mohan Chatti village, in Rishikesh has been rated as one of the most preferred bungee jumping destinations in India at a height of 83 meters.

Answer:

கலந்துரையாடல்
கலந்துரையாடுபவர்கள்: மதியழகன், புனிதா

மதியழகன் : புனிதா! தங்கம்மா என்ற சமூகச் சேவையாளர் எங்கு எப்போது பிறந்தார் என்று உனக்குத் தெரியுமா?
புனிதா : தெரியாது மதியழகா… நீ சொல் தெரிந்துகொள்கிறேன்.

Answer:

“அகநக நட்பதே நட்பு”

எனக்கு ஒரு நண்பன் இருந்தான். அவன் எனக்கு நண்பன் என்று புறத்தே பார்ப்பவர்களுக்குத் தெரியாது. நண்பர்கள் என்று யாரும் கண்டுபிடித்ததும் இல்லை.

“முகநக நட்பது நட்பன்று” என்பதை நாங்கள் இருவரும் உணர்ந்து இருந்தோம்.

ஒருநாள் வகுப்பறைக்கு அறிவிப்பு ஒன்று வந்தது. ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட புத்தகம் வாங்க பணம் கொடுப்பது தொடர்பான அறிவிப்பு அது. எங்கள் வகுப்பில் அனைவரும் கொடுத்து விட்டோம். என் நண்பனைத் தவிர…

அவன் என்னைப் பார்த்தான்… அன்று நான் மதிய உணவு எடுத்துவரவில்லை . கடையில் சாப்பிடுவதற்காக வைத்திருந்த பணத்தை அவனுக்காகக் கொடுத்துவிட்டேன். அவன் கொண்டு வந்திருந்த உணவைப் பகிர்ந்து உண்டோம். எல்லோரும் வியந்தனர்.

எப்படிடா நீங்க இரண்டுபேரும்… என்று கேட்டவர்களுக்கு இருவரும் ஒரே மாதிரி பதில் சொன்னோம்.

Question 1.
அழகிரிசாமியின் ‘ஒருவன் இருக்கிறான்’ சிறுகதையில் மனிதத்தை வெளிப்படுத்தும் கதைமாந்தர் குறித்து எழுதுக.
Answer:
மனித நேயம் கொண்ட கதைமாந்தர் – வீரப்பன்

குறிப்புச் சட்டம்

• முன்னுரை
• அன்பாளர்
• கொடையாளர்
• பண்பாளர்
• முடிவுரை

முன்னுரை:
கு.அழகிரிசாமியின் ஒருவன் இருக்கிறான்’ சிறுகதையில் மனிதத்தை வெளிப்படுத்தும் கதை மாந்தர் வீரப்பன். அவர் தான் வறுமைப்பட்ட போதும் தன் அன்பையும் அருளையும் கொண்டு நட்பைப் போற்றினார்.

அன்பாளர்:
வீரப்பன் காஞ்சிபுரத்தில் விறகுகடையில் வேலை செய்து வந்தார். அவர் ஏழையாக இருந்தாலும் நண்பன்குப்புசாமிமீது மிகுந்த அன்புவைத்திருந்தார். அனாதையானகுப்புசாமிக்கு அவன் உறவினர்களும் உதவ முன்வரவில்லை. ஆனால் தன்னுடைய வறுமையையும் பொருட்படுத்தாமல் வீரப்பன், குப்புசாமியுடன் மனித நேயத்துடன் இருக்கின்றார்.

கொடையாளர்:
குப்புசாமி நோய்வாய்ப்பட்டு வேலை இழந்தபோது வீரப்பன் அவரை தன் வீட்டிற்கு அழைத்து வந்து உணவு கொடுப்பார். மேலும், தான் கடன் வாங்கி அதனைக் குப்புசாமிக்குக் கொடுப்பார். சென்னைக்குச் செல்லும் ஆறுமுகத்திடம் கடிதம் ஒன்றையும் மூன்று ரூபாயையும் குப்புசாமியிடம் கொடுத்து அனுப்பினார் வீரப்பன்.

பண்பாளர்:
வீரப்பன் குப்புசாமி குணமடைய நாள்தோறும் கோயிலுக்குச் சென்று வேண்டுகிறார். அவருக்கு வேலை இல்லாதபோதும் நண்பன் குப்புசாமிக்குக் கொடுக்க ஒருவரிடம் மூன்று width=”197″ height=”19″ கடன் வாங்கி சென்னைக்குச் செல்லும் ஆறுமுகத்திடம் கொடுத்து அனுப்புகிறார். குப்புசாமியைப் பார்க்க வரலாம் என்றால், இந்த மூன்று width=”197″ height=”19″ பேருந்துக்கு செலவாகிவிடும் என்பதால்தான் கொடுத்தனுப்புகிறேன். இன்னொரு இடத்திலும் பணம் கேட்டிருப்பதாகவும் கிடைத்தவுடன் குப்புசாமியைப் பார்க்க விரைவாக வருவதாகவும் வீரப்பன் தெரிவித்தார்.

முடிவுரை: ஏழ்மையிலும் நட்பைப் பாராட்டி உதவும் வீரப்பன், மனித நேயத்தின் மாமகுடமாகத் திகழ்கின்றார். அவரின் செயல்பாடுகள் கல் மனதையும் கரைத்து மனிதநேயத்தைச் சுரக்க வைக்கின்றது. ஒருவன் இருக்கிறான், மனித நேயத்திற்குச் சான்றாக அவன் இருக்கின்றான்.

Question 1.
நிரல்நிறை அணியை சான்றுடன் விளக்குக.
Answer:
அணி இலக்கணம்:
நிரல் – வரிசை நிறை – நிறுத்துல்.
சொல்லையும், பொருளையும் வரிசையாக நிறுத்தி அவ்வரிசைப்படியே இணைத்துப் பொருள் கொள்வது நிரல்நிறை அணி எனப்படும்.

சான்று:
அன்பும் அறனும் உடைத்தாயின் இல்வாழ்க்கை
பண்பும் பயனும் அது.

அணிப் பொருத்தம்:
இக்குறளில் “அன்பும் அறனும்” என்ற சொற்களை வரிசையாக நிறுத்தி “பண்பும் பயனும்” என்ற சொற்களை முறைப்படக் கூறியுள்ளமையால் இது நிரல்நிறை அணிக்குச் சிறந்த சான்றாகும்.

Question 2.
தீவக அணியை விளக்கி, சான்று கூறுக.
Answer:
அணி இலக்கணம்:
தீவகம் என்னும் சொல்லுக்கு விளக்கு என்று பொருள். செய்யுளில் ஓரிடத்தில் நின்ற ஒரு சொல் செய்யுளின் பல இடங்களிலும் உள்ள சொற்களோடு சென்று பொருந்திப் பொருளை விளக்குவது தீவக அணி என்பர்.

சான்று: “சேந்தன வேந்தன் திருநெடுங்கண், தெவ்வேந்தர்
ஏந்து தடந்தோள், இழிகுருதி – பாய்ந்து
திசை அனைத்தும், வீரச் சிலைபொழிந்த அம்பும்,
மிசைஅனைத்தும் புள்குலமும் வீழ்ந்து”

பாடலின் பொருள்:
அரசனுடைய கண்கள் கோபத்தால் சிவந்தன. கண்கள் சிவந்த அளவில் பகை மன்னர்களின் தோள்கள் சிவந்தன. இரத்தம் பாய்ந்த திசைகள் அனைத்தும் சிவந்தன; அம்புகள் சிவந்தன. இரத்தம் மேலே வீழ்வதால் பறவைகள் சிவந்தன.

அணிப்பொருத்தம்:
முதலில் உள்ள சேந்தன (சிவந்தன) என்ற சொல் பாடலில் கண்கள், தோள்கள், திசைகள், அம்புகள், பறவைகள் அனைத்தோடும் பொருந்திப் பொருள் தருகிறது.

Question 3.
‘எவ்வகைப் பொருளும் மெய்வகை விளக்கும்’ அணி எது? சான்றுடன் விளக்குக. (அல்லது) தன்மை நவிற்சி அணியைச் சான்றுடன் விளக்கு.
Answer:
எவ்வகைப்பட்ட பொருளாக இருந்தாலும் இயற்கையில் அமைந்த அதன் உண்மையான இயல்புத் தன்மையைக் கேட்பவர்களின் மனம் மகிழுமாறு உரிய சொற்களை அமைத்துப் பாடுவது தன்மையணி ஆகும். இதனை தன்மை நவிற்சியணி என்றும் கூறுவர்.

சான்று: “மெய்யிற் பொடியும் விரித்த கருங்குழலும்
கையில் தனிச்சிலம்பும் கண்ணீரும் – வையைக் கோன்
கண்டளவே தோற்றான், அக்காரிகைதன்
உண்டளவே தோற்றான் உயிர்.”

பாடலின் பொருள்: உடம்பு முழுக்கத் தூசியும் விரித்த கருமையான தலைமுடியும் கையில் ஒற்றைச் சிலம்போடு வந்த தோற்றமும் அவளது கண்ணீரும் கண்ட அளவிலேயே வையை பாயும் நகரத்து அரசன் பாண்டியன் தோற்றான். அவளது சொல் கேட்டு உயிர் நீத்தான்.

அணிப்பொருத்தம் : கண்ணகியின் துயர் நிறைந்த தோற்றத்தினை இயல்பாடு உரிய சொற்களின் மூலம் கூறியமையால் தன்மை நவிற்சியணி எனப்படும்.

கருணையனின் தாய் மறைவுக்கு, வீரமாமுனிவர் தம் பூக்கள் போன்ற உவமைகளாலும் உருவக மலர்களாலும் நிகழ்த்திய கவிதாஞ்சலியை விவரி.
Answer:
குறிப்புச் சட்டம்

• முன்னுரை
• வீரமாமுனிவரின் உவமை உருவக கவிதாஞ்சலி
• முடிவுரை

முன்னுரை:
தாயின் அன்பை எழுத உலக மொழிகள் போதாது. தாயை இழந்த துயரம் சொல்லில் சொல்ல இயலாது. தாயை இழந்த கருணையனின் கண்ணீர் சொற்களை அறிவோம்.

வீரமாமுனிவரின் உவமை உருவக கவிதாஞ்சலி :

1) மலர்ப்படுக்கை :
கருணையனின் தாய் மறைந்துவிட்டாள். கருணையன் தன் கையைக் குவித்துப் பூமித்தாயே! என் அன்னையின் உடலைக் காப்பாயாக என்று கூறி, குழியிலே மலர்ப்படுக்கையை பரப்பினான். அன்னையின் உடலை மண்ணிட்டு மூடி மலர்களையும் தன் கண்ணீரையும் பொழிந்தான்.

2) இளம்பயிர் வாட்டம்:
என் தாயின் மார்பில் மணிமாலையென அசைந்து வாழ்ந்தேனே! இப்பொழுது. இளம்பயிர் வளர்ந்து முதிர்ந்து காய்ந்து மணியாகு முன்பே, தூய மணி போன்ற மழைத்துளி இன்றி வாடிக் காய்ந்து விட்டது போல நானும் வாடுகிறேன். என் மனம் மரக்கிளையில் இருந்து பறிக்கப்பட்ட மலர்போல் வாடுகிறது.

3) அம்பு துளைத்த வேதனை:
தீயையும் நஞ்சையும் தன் முனையில் கொண்ட அம்பு துளைத்ததால் ஏற்படும் புண்ணின் வரியைப் போல என் துயரம் வேதனை தருகிறது. துணையைப் பிரிந்த ஒரு பறவையைப் போல நான் இக்காட்டில் அழுது வாடுகிறேன்.

4) தவிப்பு :
சரிந்த வழுக்கு நிலப்பகுதியிலே தனியே விடப்பட்டுச் செல்லும் வழிதெரியாமல் தவிப்பவன் போல் ஆனேன். நவமணிகள் பதித்த மணிமாலைகளை இணைத்தது போன்று நல்ல அறன்கள் எல்லாம் ஒரு கோவையாக இணைத்த தவத்தையே அணிந்த மார்பனாகிய கருணையன் புலம்பினான்.

5) உயிர்கள் அழுதல்:
புலம்பலைக் கேட்டு பல்வேறு இசைகளை இயக்கியது போல் தேன் மலர்கள் தோறும் மணம் வீசும் மலர்களும், மலர்ந்த சுனை தோறும் உள்ள பறவைகளும், வண்டுகளும் அக்காட்டினிலே அழுவன போல கூச்சலிட்டன.

முடிவுரை:
வீரமாமுனிவர் உவமை, உருவக மலர்களால் தன் கவிதை மூலம் எலிசபெத்துக்கு அஞ்சலி செலுத்தியுள்ளார்.
