4 PREFACE TO SECOND REVISED EDITION Interactive and communication skills need to be developed right from an early stage. Keeping this in mind the CBSE and CISCE have formulated and introduced a step wise scheme of Communicative Approach as a part of the teaching of English as a language. These books are especially relevant to Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), the current educational programme introduced by CBSE. The books are thoroughly revised based on insightful feedback from schools all over India. On the basis of the perceptive and extensive comments offered by teachers, learners, departmental heads, Principals and parents, the books have been produced as revised editions that we hope will receive greater critical acclaim. Authors Acknowledgment Ted Hughes for 'Grandma' and Tennyson for 'Poetry'; Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam for 'My Mother'; Mary Britton Miller for 'The Man's Quest'; Ruskin Bond for 'The Tiger'; Joy Allison for 'Which Loved Best?' Although every exertion been made to contact the owners of copyright of the pieces published here, a few have been impossible to trace. If they would please contact the authors, appropriate acknowledgment will be made in future editions.

5 PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION Communication is life. Just as healthy biological life is possible only when the brain is able to communicate well with other parts of the body, similarly a successful social life is possible when one is able to communicate well with other members of society. Self-Learning English Course with Activities is a series of ten books that is especially designed for primary & middle classes, keeping in view the latest trends of Communicative Teaching of English Language. The aim of this series is to help the learner attain Communicative Competence in the English language. The practice material includes Comprehension Passages and Interactive Exercises. There are also activities designed to stimulate children to think and develop their creative powers. Students take on a less heavy structural load but come away with greater language ability and confidence. Language is a means of communication. How effectively one communicates and interacts with people reflects ones personality. Interaction and Communication skills need development right from an early stage. Keeping this in mind the Central Board of Secondary Education has formulated and introduced a stepwise scheme of Communicative Approach as a part of the teaching of English as a language. Based on the guidelines, an effort has been made to provide suitable practice material on comprehension passages and writing skills while taking care of Grammar. Thus the old adage Practice makes a man perfect has been implemented. The development of material is from the simple to the complex in a carefully graded manner with suitable practice exercises. We extend our grateful thanks to the entire management and editorial staff of S. Chand and Co. Ltd., who took great pains to get the book published in such a nice form. The authors invite constructive feedback from teachers and users which will be thankfully acknowledged in the future editions of the book.

12 2 The Story of a Dog Read the passage and answer the questions that follow: When I was born I couldn t see anything. I had a big family with two sisters and three brothers. The world was all darkness for us for a few days after our birth. I remember the day when all of us opened our eyes. The family we were living with, was very excited when we were born. We mostly lay huddled with each other. The body warmth of my mother and mates was very reassuring. Those were the best days, when most of the time we either slept or suckled our mom. I will never forget the way she used to lick us and clean us. Comprehension When we were two weeks old, we had started playing among ourselves. My mother was very strict. She never played with us. She always kept an eye on all of us all the time. I remember my first meal. The mistress of the house brought cold milk in a beautiful bowl. It was okay, but not as tasty as my mother's milk. I was growing pretty fast and could feel the change in my body. At around five weeks I was having four meals a day. Now all day my mother was no where to be seen. We played amongst ourselves. We got the company of mom only at night. One day we were busy playing among ourselves. Suddenly we felt there was lot of commotion in the house. A beautiful girl named Rumita came near us. She was accompanied by our master Mr Ghosh. We all rushed to greet her, except our sister Silky. She was always afraid of strangers and hid behind me and started to cry. Our mother was no where to be seen. May be she heard the cries of Silky and was barking loudly from inside the house. We were scared but Rumita who came to see us was fascinated. She immediately developed a liking for me. She picked me up, held me close to her. My heart was throbbing, but her hug calmed me down. She kissed me and named me Blackie. Self-Learning English Course With Activities 8 5

13 My first experience of a car ride to Rumita's place was frightening. I lay cuddled up in her lap and she constantly stroked my head to reassure me. When we reached my new mistress's house she allowed me to inspect it. I was comfortable but suddenly I started to miss mom and my mates too. I started to cry. Rumita rushed to me and soothed my fears. She made a soft and comfortable bed for me. I slept peacefully. I dreamt of my mates, we were playing, running around. The next week, Rumita and her father took me out in the car. I was not scared of the ride now. They took me to a Vet. I heard the Vet inform them that I was a German Shepherd. Our forefathers were taken to England from Germany and we were called Alsatian. I felt proud of my ancestry. The Vet gave me a sharp prick. It was quite painful, yet it ensured that I do not catch some dreaded diseases. Rumita seemed to know her way with dogs. She gave me a small fish immediately after the Vet took out the needle. This made life easy for me and the next pricks after a couple of days were not bad at all. I was always rewarded with more fish whenever I was injected. I was very happy in my new home. Rumita and her family made a lovely pack and her brother was our leader. I used to wait for him to come back from his office. The sound of his jeep was exciting for me. He used to take me out on long walks. He used to teach me his language with short commands like 'go' 'eat' 'run' etc. Soon I was able to understand their commands. They were able to understand my language too. Humans have a spoken language, whereas we express only through body language. It was good that we understood each other well. I remember a dog in the neighbourhood. His name was Sheru. He was beaten cruelly daily by the family members. There was lack of communication between him and his master's family members. This made his life miserable. Life was very comfortable for me. When I was one year old, I had many puppies. When they grew up they also went to their new homes. I wonder if they were as fortunate as I was! Rumita has gone abroad for higher studies. I am nine years old. I often dream of her. She comes on holidays to meet her parents. She spends hours playing with me. I wish all dogs were as lucky as I am! reassuring-convincing; commotion-confusion. QUESTIONS 1. Which line in the story suggests that the baby dog had a big family? 6 Self-Learning English Course With Activities 8

14 2. Why did the baby dog feel that her mother was very strict? 3. How could the baby dog feel the change in her body? 4. Did the baby dog like her new mistress? Why? 5. Why was the dog taken to the Vet? 6. Why did the dog mentioned in the story consider herself to be lucky? Comprehension 7. What names have been given to the following in the story: (a) The dog's sister - (b) The dog - (c) New mistress of the dog - 8. What is the meaning of the following: (a) I wish all dogs were as lucky as I am! (b) I felt proud of my ancestry. 9. Suppose you have an alsatian dog as a pet. How will you take care of it.

15 3 The Great Escape Read the passage and answer the questions that follow: As the train approached Goa, where I was going to spend my holidays, I went into the corridor to stretch my legs. I stayed there for a short while, breathing in the fresh sea air and exchanging a few words with one of the passengers, whom I had met earlier on the platform of Mumbai station. When I turned to go back to my seat, I happened to glance into the compartment next to mine. Sitting there was a man who many years ago had been my neighbour. He was a great talker, I remembered; it used to take hours to get away from him once he began a conversation. I was not at all sorry when he went to live in another part of Mumbai. We had not met since then, nor did I wish to meet him now, when my holiday was about to begin. Luckily at that moment he was too busy talking to the man opposite him to catch sight of me. I slipped back into my compartment, took down my luggage and carried it to the far end of the corridor so as to be ready to get off the train as soon as it stopped. The moment the train came to a halt, I called a porter, who in no time at all carried my luggage out of the station and found me a taxi. As I drove towards my small hotel on the outskirts of Vasco city, I breathed a deep sigh of relief at my narrow escape. There was little chance that I should run into my boring ex-neighbour again. When I reached the hotel, I went straight to my room and rested there until it was time for dinner. Then I went down to the coffee shop and ordered a cappucinno coffee. I had barely raised the cup to my 8 Self-Learning English Course With Activities 8
