yesterday it was your first day in your new school you made new friends teachers were good to you and you liked the infrastructure of the school
write about your experiences and feelings about the new school in your diary

Answers

Answer:

Life is full of new events. Going to a school for the first time for a child is to face a new situation. It is a new event for him because its atmosphere is quite different. First day at school is an experience which I cannot forget. Its memory is still fresh in my mind. It was July 15. I got up early in the morning on this day. I got myself prepared. With my father I started towards my new school.

We entered the office where I found four men sitting behind the counter. My father got a form from one of them. He filled it. Then we entered the Principal’s office. My father gave the form to him. He looked at the form and struck a bell. At once a peon came in. he ordered him to take us to the staff room.

The peon led us to the room where I found the teachers round a long table. My father gave the form to one of them. The teacher put my knowledge to test in English. He found me fit. Another teacher gave me five sums to solve.

I solved them easily. Both the teachers wrote something on the form. Again my father entered the Principal’s office. He ordered for my admission. My father deposited my dues in the office. I was sent to IX-B classroom with a chit.

I went into the classroom and took my seat in the last row in front of me there was a big blackboard on the wall. Near it there was a decent chair and a table for the teachers on a raised platform. After a few minutes a teacher entered the classroom. I gave the chit to him. He wrote my name in the register. The teacher was an interesting fellow. He passed a few funny remarks.

At the recess bell we rushed out of the classroom. It was the leisure time. Some boys approached me. They cracked jokes. One of them said, “Form which jungle are you coming?” I was silent. Fortunately three boys ran for my help. They took me round the school building. They showed me reading room and library, I found the school ball well decorated with paintings. As the bell rang we were again in the classroom. Four teachers attended their periods but none taught us.

At 12-30 the last bell went. The classes were over. When I reached home, I was quite glad. I told my mother about the new school. She was glad to hear the account of my first day. This day was glad to hear the account of my first day. This day was a memorable day for me, because I liked the school. I studied here for three years but there was always a recollection of my first day in this school. I could not say about my first L.K.G. class because at that time I was too young to understand.

O 1. replacing the comma after "puppy" with a semicolon

2. replacing the comma after "aside" with a semicolon

3. replacing the comma after "then" with a semicolon

4. replacing the comma after "protests" with a semicolon

lo

Answers

Answer:

The revision that will correct the punctuation error in the sentence is:

2. replacing the comma after "aside" with a semicolon

Explanation:

The sentence can be basically divided into two main ideas. One concerns the shopping list made by Angela's brother. The other concerns Angela picking up the real list to go shopping. The first idea is developed by listing the silly items Angela's brother wrote down and saying that Angela put that list aside. To start the second idea, a comma does not suffice. Therefore, we need to place a semicolon after "aside", since that is where the first idea ends. The semicolon will come before "then", which is the mark of what Angela did next, the second idea. The correct sentence is:

"Chuckling, Angela looked over her little brother's shopping list of bubble gum, race cars, and a puppy, and laid it aside; then, ignoring Harry's  protests, she picked up the real list and headed for the door."

Although it will take a long time to solve it, we can’t lose our patience with them. A good relationship not only makes our family life more and happier, but also is more likely to make us successful. If we treat people the same way as we tame animals, with our patience and persistence, we can solve any problems with people.

Explanation:

Emma has been asked to write and reflect on the theme of law maintaining order in society. She is using this passage from The Jungle Book.

"Open those eyes, Little Brother! Shere Khan dares not kill thee in the jungle for fear of those that love thee; but remember, Akela is very old, and soon the day comes when he cannot kill his buck, and then he will be leader no more. Many of the wolves that looked thee over when thou wast brought to the Council first are old too, and the young wolves believe, as Shere Khan has taught them, that a man-cub has no place with the Pack. In a little time thou wilt be a man."

"And what is a man that he should not run with his brothers?" said Mowgli. "I was born in the jungle; I have obeyed the Law of the Jungle; and there is no wolf of ours from whose paws I have not pulled a thorn. Surely they are my brothers!"



Which writing sample is the best reflection of this important theme?

Good friends are an important part of life. Mowgli has been a great friend to his wolf brothers. His Pack will keep him safe.
It is best to quit while ahead in life. Akela has been a strong leader, but he is getting old and weak. It would be wise for Akela to leave the Pack.
Fitting in is hard to do. Mowgli is turning into a man as he grows. It will not be long before Mowgli has to leave the Pack.
When laws are not obeyed, society is not safe. Once Akela is gone, the Law of the Jungle may not be obeyed. Mowgli will be in danger of losing his life.

Read the poem.

The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name

Question 1
Part A

What is a theme of “The Whippoorwill?
