Creative Writing

1. You have learnt a number of unknown things about Gurajada Apparao in the lesson “Gurajada – The Legend”. His dream and vision were of a new social system. His attitude towards women’s education, social equality and widow re-marriages are all surprisingly modern.
Now, write about your feelings about the present scenario of women’s education, social equality and widow re-marriages in your area.
Answer:
(First Person Narration)
I think that Gurajada has done a great work in the issues of women’s education, social equality and widow re-marriages. There is no doubt, his dream and vision were of a new social system. There is not much improvement in the status of women’s education. In our country, this issue is a long-standing necessity. Women need to be given equal opportunities especially when it comes to education. Women education contributes to the development of our country.

In my opinion, the bright future of India depends on the women education. As far as social inequality is concerned, it is rarely seen in some villages. Along with Gurajada, a number of other social reformers did a great job in controlling the social evil of social inequality. When we come to the issue of widow re-marriages, these kind of marriages are rarely seen. The people should be changed. They have to develop modern outlook.

2. In the lesson ‘Gurajada – The Legend’, you have read about Mahakavi Gurajada. He was a distinguished writer, a contemporary of Tagore. He was also a renowned social reformer. His works have immensely influenced the people and brought tremendous changes in the society.
Prepare a script for speech on ‘Gurajada Apparao’.
Answer:
Good morning to all,

Today, I, V. Keerthi. stand before you to deliver a speech on Mahakavi Sri Gurajada Apparao. I think, you all know that Gurajada is a noted Indian playwright, dramatist, poet, and writer. He was well known for his works in Telugu literature. He wrote the first Telugu play, Kanyasulkam. It is considered the greatest play in the Telugu language. Gurajada was lauded as ‘Mahakavi’. All his writings are superb, unforgettable and immortal. His legendary lines, “Never does land, mean clay and sand; The people, the people, they are the land” have been shacking the hearts of every Telugu soul. He wrote several English poems too. His ‘Sarangadhara’ was well received.

In a way, Kandukuri was regarded as the ‘Raja Ram Mohan Roy’ of Andhra Pradesh. Many writers praised him as a revolutionary in his thought. He rescued language from the learned people and gave it back to common people. He was a great artist. Through his artistic work, he wakes up the reader to fight the social evils. Along with Gidugu, Kandukuri started the movement for spoken dialect. We see a number of words used by common people in his works. His characters are high-spirited. His style of writing is simple yet beautiful in meaning.

I would like to thank one and all for giving me this chance of speaking a few lines about Gurajada.

Even though he was rich, Midas thought that his greatest happiness was provided by gold. He was very fond of gold. One day he prayed to God. God appeared before him and gave him a boon. As per the boon, whatever the king touches turns into gold. The next morning Midas, woke up eager to see if the boon would become true. He touched cot, bed, walls, doors and flowers in the garden, etc. To his amazement all those turned into gold. When he felt hungry, he touched meals. He couldn’t eat it as it also turned into gold. He felt sorry for his situation. After some time, his beloved daughter came. When he touched her, she turned into a golden statue. He felt sad.

He prayed to God again. God appeared before him. Midas asked God to excuse him and requested for his daughter with life. God took pity on him and gave life to his daughter. Thus God taught the king a lesson and disappeared.

4. Nowadays people are suffering from perishing heat. Rains are meagre, no greenery is found in most of the areas. You feel that we have to act immediately and do SQmething to plant a large number of trees everywhere.
Write a letter to your friend Srinivas explaining him the importance of planting trees and the advantages of plants.
Answer:

Tenali. 20.07.20xx. Dear Srinivas, l am fine and I hope the same with you. In this letter I would like to share my views on the importance of planting trees and the advantages of plants. We are all aware that trees are the most useful things in the world. Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen. They give us fruit to eat and firewood to burn. We build houses and make furniture with the wood of the trees. They help us get rain. Some trees give us medicines. But the man is cutting down trees indiscriminately and causing disturbance in the ecological balance. As a result, temperatures are mounting up. Nowadays people are suffering from perishing heat. Rains are meagre, no greenery is found in most of the areas. If there were no trees, there would be no life on earth. It is our responsibility to save trees. We should act immediately and plant a large number of trees in our surroundings. The government should pay full attention on tree plantation. Voluntary organisations also should take active part in it. Recently our school organised a tree plantation week. All the students of our school participated in it and made it grand success. I hope you agree with my views. Convey my regards to your parents and wishes to sister. Awaiting your reply, Yours lovingly, xxxx

5. Write a letter to the eidtor of a newspaper about the bad condition of road and the uncleanliness in your locality.
Answer:

Old Guntur, Guntur. 20th September, 20xx. To The Editor, The Hindu, Vijayawada. Sir, I have been a sincere reader of your esteemed daily for the last five years. Through the columns of your daily, I would like to draw the attention of the public as well as concerned authorities towards the bad condition of roads and the uncleanliness in our locality. I am a resident of Old Guntur, Guntur. We are suffering a lot due to the negligence of the Municipal workers. There are large pits in roads. Some roads have pot-holes and ditches. There is an increase in the number of accidents in our locality due to these bad road conditions. Water gets stagnated. During the monsoon-season, water gets clogged in the road pits. Recently, a girl has fallen into a ditch. Thank God, a cyclist has seen it and saved her. The sweepers are not regular to their duties. Once in a week, they come in a casual way. There are piles of garbage at every corner emitting foul smell. These corners attract flies and mosquitoes in large number. If the same state of affairs continues, I am afraid that some diseases may spread. All these things lead to health hazard. Another problem is that the street lights are not functioning properly. It also leads to the accidents. I have already lodged complaints with the officials several times but in vain. Hence I request the concerned authorities to take necessary steps in this regard. Yours truly, xxxx

Now, write a possible conversation based on the above context.
Answer:
Moyna : Good morning, teacher.
Malati : Good morning, Moyna.
Malati : Why have you come to me?
Moyna : Why is school closed? Why shouldn’t I study too?
Malati : Who’s is stopping you, girl? School is over for the day.
Malati : You know, Moyna, I take the class from 9 to 11 in the morning.
Moyna : Why can’t you change the hours, madam?
Malati : Why should I change the hours, Moyna?
Moyna : I have to graze Babu’s goats in the morning. I can only come after eleven.
Malati : No, I won’t change my time.
Moyna : If you don’t teach, how will I learn?

Malati : O.K., girl. I will change the hours. You can come after eleven.
Moyna : Thank you, madam.
Malati : It’s O.K., girl.

2. In the. lesson “The Why – Why Girl”, you have learnt that Moyna grew up and started teaching at the Samithi school. When she was a girl, she was interested in asking questions others. She almost all exhausted others with her ‘whys’. When she became teacher, she expected a number of questions from the students. She even encouraged them to ask her questions. She asked them not to be lazy.

Imagine that you were Moyna and write a diary entry expressing your feelings at the end of the day on which you have attended the school for the first time as a – teacher.
Answer:

Monday, 10th August, 20xx 8:30 p.m.Dear Diary, Oh, God ! I am really grateful to you. Finally, my long lasting wish has been fulfilled. It’s all because of your grace. From my childhood onwards, everyone has referred me as ‘why-why’ girl. That ‘why – why’ girl has become a teacher today ! My questioning nature has brought me to today’s position. But, in the morning class, the children did not ask me questions. They were all lazy in that period. Why didn’t they ask me the questions such as, “Why should mosquitoes be destroyed ?”, “Why is the pole star always in the north sky ?” etc. Then only they will shine, they will have a bright future. From tomorrow onwards, I shall make them learn the art of questioning. If one doesn’t question, one doesn’t find anything and one doesn’t achieve anything.Moyna

3. Mother’s Day is celebrated on May 9^th. Prepare a script for speech on the role of a mother in a family on the occasion of Mother’s Day.
Answer:
Honorable judges and dear students,

Today, I, Abhilash of Class VII, stand before you to speak on the role of a mother in a family. With Mother’s Day that is celebrated on May 9^th, round the corner, I thought of reflecting on the role of a mother and importance in a child’s life.

A mother is like the nucleus around whom everyone else orbits in a family. And the word multitasking was probably coined for a mother, and if not certainly had her in mind 1 After all a mother provides the required structure and balance to the household, lacking which the world would seem chaotic and confusing. She is the one person who. ensures that life functions in an orderly way, right from breakfast, lunch, dinner being served at the table, to clothes being ironed and kept in the cupboard, to the kitchen always being stocked up with food, the beds perfectly made, the bills paid, the list is infinite. However more importantly, a mother brings balance to the family mentally and emotionally.

Needless to say she plays a pivotal role in what a child is tomorrow. A mother is the one person who is responsible for a child’s wholesome development and takes charge of it. Clearly a mother journey is perhaps one of the toughest. There is a saying that the God created mother in his place to look after the family. We should agree to this and be thankful to mother. Showing gratitude is the only tribute that we can give to a mother.

Thank you one and all for giving me this opportunity.

Once upon a time, there lived the king of a big and affluent country. The king was quite fond of travelling. Usually, he didn’t like to visit his own country; instead he went to other countries. One day, he assembled his army to move out for a holiday to some distant country. The king and his soldiers walked for the whole morning in the forest. After this, they went into the camp to take some rest.

The horses were also tired, so they were fed with peas. One of the monkeys, who lived in the forest, was keeping a track of the things done by the king’s men from a distance. When he saw peas offered to the horses, he jumped down from the tree at once to get some of them. He quickly gobbled some peas, also filled his mouth and hands with them. Then, he went up the tree and sat down to eat the peas.

As and when, he sat there to eat peas; one pea fell from his hand to the ground. The greedy monkey dropped all the peas he had in his hands and ran down to look for the lost pea at once. Unluckily, he could not find that one pea. He climbed up the ‘tree again and sat at rest. He was looking very sad. He said to himself, “To get one pea, 1 threw away what I had”.

Now, describe the feelings of the little bowman about his crooked back and how he could get a job in the army.
Answer:
The little man was very wise. He was a skilled archer too. But he was unhappy with his crooked back. His strong desire was to join the army. But he knew that he would be refused to join the army because of his crooked back. He thought, “How unlucky fellow I am! Though I am a skilled archer 1 could not fulfil my wish. Oh, God! Why did you give me this crooked back? What can I do now? Shall I go to the king and request him to take me into his army? No, it is not good. He should not give me the job because of my crooked back.

Oh, God! Please show me a way to join the army. If I don’t get a job in the army, my life is futile. What will happen if I assist a strong man? Why can’t I use a strong man to join the army? Yes, it is a good idea! I must find out a strong man and ask him to take me as his assistant. Then we will go to the king and he will give jobs to both of us in the army. Thank God! You have given me a right idea. Now, I am hopeful of fulfilling my wish.”

Though I don’t have a big body, I have fought for the kingdom and proved that I am better than the big man. The king has made me the chief of the army and given me a number of rich gifts. It is a great honour for me. I am very happy. Oh, God! I am grateful to you. I shall do my level best as the chief of the army.

Dear Diary,
In the morning, the photos I saw are really magnificent. They are the photos of war between Britain and Germany. How attractive they are ! The first page of the daily newspaper Dinamani is totally filled with the photos of fighter aircrafts and stories of the Second World War. The German Air Force is sending hundreds of planes and bombers to attack the city and the British Royal Air Force is deploying their full force to defend their motherland. 1 like those stories of brave pilots from both the sides, and how they manoeuvre their aircrafts and bombers. I love the stories of the pilots and their planes. I am really curious about planes. I love the profession of a pilot. I too shall become a pilot myself. I shall operate the planes. But my family is a poor one where nobody is a literate. What can I do ? Yes, I shall take the guidance from our teachers. That’s all for now! I’m really tired and I am going to sleep.

The Farmer and His Five Sons
Once there was an old farmer. He had five sons. The sons were lazy and selfish. They always quarrelled with one another. The old man was worried about his sons’ future. He tried to mend their behaviour by saying a few good words. But the sons did not care arid they did not change their ways. So, the old man wanted to teach his sons a lesson and he asked his servants to bring a bundle of sticks. He called his sons and asked them to break the bundle one after another. But they could not break the bundle as it was not an easy task. Then the old man loosened the bundle and gave them a stick each. They could break the sticks easily. Thus the old man tried to make them understand the value of unity like a bundle of sticks. The sons understood the value of unity and they started to believe that unity is strength.

Answer:
Once there was on old tiger. He was week. He was unable to catch his prey. So he thought of a plan. He wanted to draw his prey closer to him by showing the golden bangle as a bait

One day a poor man came that way. He was on the other side of the river. When he was about to drink water, he heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw the tiger on the other side of the river. At first the poor man was afraid. He tried to run away from there. At the same time he heard the tiger’s call again “Oh! great scholar, I don’t harm you. I am now a changed one. I am sorry for my sins. I am now a pious man ! Please accept golden ring and help me to recede my sins.”

When the poor man saw the golden bangle, he became greedy. His greediness overcame his fear. He believed the tiger’s words. So he went close to the tiger to accept the golden ring. At once the tiger sprang upon him, killed him and ate him.

This story tells us “Greediness brings us misery”.

6. In the lesson ‘Painted House, Friendly Chicken and Me’, you have learnt that Thandi sometimes goes to the city along with the members of her family. One day she went to the city along with her mother, sisters and aunts and returned to the village.
Imagine you are Thandi and describe your feelings about city people, houses, etc. in the form of a diary entry.
Answer:
24th July, 2021,
9.00 pm.
Dear Diary,

Today I went to the city with my mother, sisters and aunts in a wagon pulled by four mules. I enjoyed the journey a lot. Visiting the city with the members of my family gives me immense joy. There are tall buildings and wide roads in the city. All the houses there are in one sad colour. But our painted houses are very beautiful to look at. There I found no much greenery either. Here, our village and the surroundings have rich greenery with number of trees. The city people stared at my mother and relatives because the city folk have nothing so good as the Ndebele women. I am always happy to see the city people stare at us. The Ndebele women wear best blankets, best neck rings and very good leg rings, of course. But the city women have no beads at all. I feel sorry for them and I give them a good smile. Next time when I go to the city, I shall give them beaded aprons and beaded fringed lion flaps made by me. I think they will be very happy then.

Thandi

విద్యుత్తు పనిచేసేటప్పుడు విద్యుత్ ఘాతం జరిగే ప్రమాదం ఉంది దాన్ని నివారించడానికి ప్లాస్టిక్ చెప్పులు. వాడమంటారు. ఇవి విద్యుత్ బంధకం. అందువలన విద్యుత్ పని చేసేటపుడు కాళ్ళకు ప్లాస్టిక్ చెప్పులు ధరించమని సలహా ఇస్తారు. వీటి వలన వ్యక్తి విద్యుత్ ఘాతం జరగకుండా రక్షింపబడతాడు.

6th Class Science 10th Lesson 8 Marks Important Questions and Answers

ప్రశ్న 1.
స్విచ్ తయారు చేయు విధానాన్ని పటం సహాయంతో వివరించండి.
జవాబు:
పటంలో చూపిన విధంగా ఒక చెక్కపలక పైన గాని లేదా ఒక థర్మకోల్ షీటుపైన గాని వలయాన్ని అమర్చండి.

వలయంలో A, B ల వద్ద రెండు డ్రాయింగ్ పిన్నులు అమర్చండి. ఒక పిన్నీసును తీసుకొని దాని ఒక కొన (B) వద్ద తాకేటట్టుగాను, రెండవ కొన విడిగా ఉండేటట్లుగాను అమర్చండి. ఇప్పుడు పిన్నీసు రెండవ కొనను (A) కి తాకించండి. ఇప్పుడు బల్బు వెలుగుతుందో లేదో గమనించండి.

కృత్యంలో పిన్నీసు వలయాన్ని మూయడానికి లేదా తెరవడానికి ఉపయోగపడింది. అంటే ఇది ఒక స్విచ్ లాగా పనిచేస్తుందన్నమాట.

స్విచ్ ఆన్ (ON) చేసినప్పుడు వలయంలో విద్యుత్ ప్రవహిస్తుంది. స్విచ్ ఆఫ్ (OFF) చేసినప్పుడు విద్యుత్ ప్రవాహం ఆగిపోతుంది. బల్బు లేదా ఇతర విద్యుత్ పరికరాలలో విద్యుత్ ప్రవాహాన్ని స్విచ్ నియంత్రిస్తుంది.

ప్రశ్న 2.
టార్చిలైట్ నిర్మాణాన్ని పటం సహాయంతో వివరించండి.
జవాబు:
చీకటిలో వెలుతురు సం సాధారణంగా టార్చిలైటును వాడతాం. టార్చిలైటులో ఒక స్థూపాకారపు గొట్టం, ఘటం, బల్బు, స్విచ్, గాజుమూత మరియు లోహపు స్ప్రింగు ఉంటాయి.

స్థూపాకారపు గొట్టం లోపల ఘటాలను అమర్చడానికి వీలుగా ఉంటుంది. మూతకు స్కూ ఉండి తెరవడానికి, మూయడానికి ఉపయోగపడుతుంది. మూతను మూసి స్విచ్ ఆన్ (ON) చేయగానే వలయం మూయబడి టార్చిలైటులో ఉన్న బల్బు వెలుగుతుంది.

ప్రశ్న 3.
విద్యుత్ బల్ట్ ఆవిష్కరణ గురించి చెప్పండి.
జవాబు:
ఎడిసన్ శాస్త్రజ్ఞుడే అయినప్పటికి బల్బు ప్రస్తుత రూపాన్ని కనుగొనడానికి చాలా సంవత్సరాలు కష్టపడవలసి వచ్చింది. ఎడిసన్ సన్నని దారం వంటి ప్లాటినం తీగగుండా విద్యుత్ ను ప్రవహింపజేస్తే అది వేడెక్కి కాంతినివ్వడం గమనించాడు. కాని కేవలం కొన్ని సెకన్లలోనే అది మండిపోయింది. తీగచుట్టూ ఆవరించి ఉన్న గాలిని తీసివేస్తే ఇంత త్వరగా మండిపోకుండా ఉండేదని ఎడిసన్, భావించాడు.

ఒక గాజు బుగ్గను తయారుచేసి, దానిలో ప్లాటినం ఫిలమెంటును ఉంచి బుగ్గలో ఉన్న గాలిని తొలగించాడు. ఆ ఫిలమెంటు గుండా విద్యుత్ ను ప్రవహింపజేశాడు. అది 8 నిమిషాలపాటు నిరంతరాయంగా వెలిగింది. దీనితో ఉత్తేజితుడైన ఎడిసన్, వేరు వేరు పదార్థాలపై ప్రయోగాలు చేస్తూ ఇంకా మంచి ఫిలమెంటు కోసం ప్రయత్నించాడు. అతడు మసి పూత పూసిన నూలు దారాన్ని ఫిలమెంటుగా వాడగా, ఇది 45 గంటలపాటు నిరంతరాయంగా వెలిగింది.
