The object of life is the development of men and women. It is therefore, the duty of everyone to make of himself, and every parent to make his children, the best product possible. The object of education should not be to run all the pupils into the same mould. The school should not be a fondry. The school should be a garden. Education should, therefore, prepare for life which itself is the larger education. It should be adapted to the present condition and the prospective needs of the growing recognition of this truth has added industrial training to academic education, to enjoy an opportunity for education is the right of every individual to make that opportunity so varied as to meet the varied needs of the members is the duty of society, to avail himself of the opportunity, to make all of himself that he can make, is the duty of every individual. The first thing necessary to the pleasure of life is that when people are young, they should acquire the habit of reading. This is, becoming more and more difficult. Railways have altered people's habit by making them move about much more, although they take people away from home; a long journey affords a first-rate opportunity for reading. They were, therefore, not an unmixed advantage. But now things about them are changing. The motor car is altogether unfavourable to reading. People consume more time in moving than they did in the past and they consume it under conditions which, even for people with good eves, must make reading difficult, if not possible. The radio, with all its delights is not being added as a distraction to divert people from time to time that might be given to the pleasure of reading. The cinematograph is another change in the same direction and flying is becoming more and more common. A further disadvantage to reading is the great disadvantage of picture papers which are tending to divert people not only from reading but also from thought. All these things must make it more difficult for successive generation to acquire the habit of reading and, if that habit be acquired to; we should try to maintain it. Questions: 1. What is the duty of man in life? 2. What changes does the passage suggest in education? 3. What is the right of an individual in respect of education? 4. When and why should people acquire the habit of reading? 6. How is it difficult to acquire the habit of reading in the presence of modern inventions? 7. What are the disadvantages of picture papers? 8. Explain the meaning of the following: (i) Unmixed advantage (ii) Distraction (iii) Successive (iv) Fondry (v) Mould (vi) Varied 9. Make a Precis of the passage given above and suggest a title for it. Page 1 of 2

Q#2. Good communicators don’t only provide facts; they’re also able to influence others (with influential language, visual aids or coherent arguments). Instead of someone who only states the obvious, they look creative and persuasive particularly for roles that they require to convince the audience. What are your ideas about the said situation? Write your answer keeping in mind the verbal and non-verbal communication. 10
