The evaluator has given them a topic ‘Teenagers are more inclined towards junk food nowadays’. Write suitable dialogues for each participant giving his/her opinion on the topic. Evaluator: You’ve all been given a few minutes to think on your topic for today’s group discussion, which is ‘Teenagers are more inclined towards junk food’.You may now begin the discussion. Who would like to start? Rama : --------- Asif : ----------- Aarav : ------------- Rachana : ------------ Evaluator: Please conclude. Aarav : --------------- Answer: Evaluator: You’ve all been given a few minutes to think on your topic for today’s group discussion, which is ‘Teenagers are more inclined towards junk food’. You may now begin the discussion. Who would like to start? Rama : I think, teenager love junk food because it is very attractive to the eyes. It is also very tasty, but addictive. Once you start to eat junk food you will need a lot of will power to change your habit. Asif : Rama, I fully agree with you. There are many teenagers who eat junk food out of ignorance, but it is not good for their health, I saw some of my friends who know it is not good yet they continue eating it. I many time told them that junk food will bring a lot of suffering in life through sickness and disease and even early death. But they are addicted. I think Aarav is also addicted of junk food. Aarav : Excuse me. Could I add something, please? Let me give my personal example, why I eat junk food. When my brother and I were kids. Our single mother worked 60-70 hours a week and did not have time to cook. That’s why I think she bought so much junk food. What can you do in this condition? now I know, Junk foods are rich in calories, salt and fats. Excess consumption of junk foods would lead rise to variety of health problems. But I can’t blame my mother. Now I do not eat it regularly. Rachana :I fully agree with Aarav. It is good that Aarav now started caring about what he should put into his body. In fact, fitness has become a trend among teenagers today. Moreover, most teenagers get the information from the internet and realized the ill- effects of junk food and the benefits of a healthy diet. So I believe, they are neglecting to indulge in junk food. Evaluator : Please conclude. Aarav : We can conclude by saying that it is foolishness to treat our cars better than our own bodies. But I can say we should not eat junk for 90 Days, It is very wrong to continue eating. Once you make your mind not to eat it, it becomes easier to keep your hand off the junk food and live a healthy life. Otherwise we will dig our own graves. --------------------------- Q.2 Manisha, Pramod, Vipin and Riyaz are participating in a group discussion. The evaluator has given them a topic ‘The use of Social networking sites’. Write suitable dialogues for each participant giving his/her opinion on the topic.

You may now begin the discussion. Who would like to start? Manisha: I'll start. Social networking sites have become an integral part of our lives. They're a great platform for connecting with friends and family, especially if they live far away. They also help in building professional networks and staying updated with the latest news and trends. Pramod: I agree with Manisha to some extent, but we can't ignore the downsides. These platforms can be addictive, and people often waste too much time scrolling through their feeds like reels. Vipin: I think it's all about how you use them. I've personally found social networking sites to be very useful for the businessmen. They've allowed them to reach a wider audience and engage with potential customers. It's not just about connecting with friends; it's a powerful tool for businesses too. Riyaz: Vipin , you are true, but we should not forget the mental health aspect. Excessive use of social media can lead to anxiety and depression. There's also the issue of cyberbullying, which can be extremely harmful, especially to young people. Evaluator: Please conclude. Vipin: In conclusion, social networking sites are a double-edged sword. They offer numerous benefits in terms of connection and business opportunities, but they come with their own set of challenges and risks. It's important for individuals to use them mindfully and responsibly. --------------------------- 3] Nikita, Kajal, Pallavi and Abhi are participating in a group discussion.

Why We Travel
1.7 Why We Travel We travel initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our Newspaper will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again-to slow time down and get taken in and fall in love once more. The beauty of this whole process (how we enjoy travelling) was best described, perhaps, before people even took to frequent flying, by George Santayana in his lapidary (important/related) essay, “The Philosophy of Travel.” We “need sometimes,” the Harvard philosopher wrote, “to escape (get free from) into open solitudes (loneliness), into aimlessness (without purpose or direction:), into the moral holiday (going is tough, or could turn tough at any moment/enjoying adventurous holiday) of running some pure hazard (risk), in order to sharpen the edge of life, to taste hardship, and to be compelled (force) to work desperately (seriously) for a moment at no matter (it is of no importance) what.” Few of us ever forget the connection (difference) between “travel” and “travail,” (painful or laborious effort) Travel in that sense guides us toward a better balance of wisdom and compassion (feeling/expectation) - of seeing the world clearly, and yet feeling it truly. For seeing without feeling can obviously (clearly) be uncaring (not feeling interest in or attaching importance to something); while feeling without seeing can be blind (lacking perception, awareness, or judgement). Yet for me the first great joy of travelling is simply the luxury of leaving all my beliefs and certainties (thoughts of the people) at home, and seeing everything I thought I knew in a different light (way/ A way of presenting or perceiving something such that it appears differently to the way it would appear by an alternative presentation or perception), and from a crooked (out of place) angle. Though it’s fashionable (representing a current popular style) nowadays to draw a distinction between the “tourist” and the “traveler,” perhaps the real distinction lies between those who leave their assumptions (a thing or thought without proof/information / धरणा) at home, and those who don’t (leave assumptions). Among those who don’t, a tourist is just someone who complains, “Nothing here is the way it is at home,” while a traveler is one who grumbles, “Everything here is the same as it is in Cairo - or Cuzco (कुज्को) or Kathmandu.” It’s all very much the same. But for the rest of us, the sovereign (sovin/ supreme/ great) freedom of travelling comes from the fact that it whirls (move) you around and turns you upside down, and stands everything you took for granted (to accept without question or objection) on its head. If a diploma can famously be a passport (to a journey through hard realism), a passport can be a diploma (for a crash course in cultural relativism (information). [One can acquire permission (passport) to travel to foreign countries for educational purposes based on her academic achievements (diploma) and travelling to foreign countries enriches one the most regarding the knowledge and wisdom of the world.] And the first lesson we learn on the road, whether we like it or not, is how provisional (temporary) and provincial (small area) are the things we imagine to be universal (must be given a great importance). We travel, then, in part just to shake up our complacencies (कम्प्लेसन्सी /आत्मसंतुष्टता/ feeling of quiet pleasure or security) by seeing all the moral and political urgencies (importance), the life-and-death dilemmas (a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives / दुविधा), that we seldom have to face at home. And we travel to fill in the gaps left by tomorrow’s headlines (to get more information which we read in the newspaper). When you drive down the streets of Port-au-Prince (the capital and most populous city of Haiti.), for example, where there is almost no paving (a surface made up of flat stones laid in a pattern) your notions of the Internet and a “one world order” grow usefully revised. Travel is the best way we have of rescuing the humanity of places, and saving them from abstraction शून्यमनस्कता (the quality of dealing with ideas rather than events) and ideology. And in the process, we also get saved from abstraction ourselves, and come to see how much we can bring to the places we visit, and how much we can become a kind of carrier pigeon (a gullible person/ messanger) - an anti-Federal Express (a major American cargo airline), if you like - in transporting back and forth (to and fro/ around) what every culture needs. I find that I always take Michael Jordan (US basketball player) posters to Kyoto(an industrial city in central Japan), and bring woven ikebana (इकेबाना / the art of Japanese flower arrangement) baskets back to California. But more significantly, we carry values and beliefs and news to the places we go, and in many parts of the world, we become walking video screens and living newspapers, the only channels that can take people out of the censored limits of their homelands. In closed or impoverished इम्पावरिश्ट (गरीब) places, like Pagan(पेगन) or Lhasa (the capital of Tibet) or Havana(the capital of Cuba,), we are the eyes and ears of the people we meet, their only contact with the world outside and, very often, the closest, quite literally, they will ever come to Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton. Not the least of the challenges of travel, therefore, is learning how to import - and export - dreams with tenderness (kindness). By now all of us have heard (too often) the old Proust प्रोस्ट (French novelist) line about how the real voyage (a long journey involving travel by sea or in space) of discovery consists not in seeing new places but in seeing

Hints: Explain the concept (introduction), give example (related story) , illustrated the idea and give moral. Ans: ‘Friends – a real treasure. This proverb means a friend who stands by us in our risk or difficult condition. Or we can say: if someone supports you, in such conditions that's a real friend. In our life, we have so many friends. But all friends are not true. The following story proves it. Once upon a time, two friends had great love for each other and promised to help each other, in the hour of need. They were passing through a deep forest, suddenly a bear came in front of them. One of them climbed a tree, leaving his friend alone. The other friend was unable to climb the tree, he laid on the ground and held his breath pretending to be dead. The bear came up to him and smelt him. Found him a dead, the bear left the place. Then the other friend came down and asked, "What did the bear say to you?" The friend replied that the bear warned me not to trust someone who leaves you in danger.' We have heard many stories of true friendships such as friendship of Krishna and Sudama, Duryodhana and Karna, etc. Such friends were the real treasure of life. It's important to know the difference between good and bad friends. A true friend sticks by you through all situations, while a selfish friend sticks by you only for his benefits who leaves you in your hardship. Trust is earned, and real friends earn it. so "The true friends are priceless. Expansion of Idea - 2 Expand the ideas of proverb. 'A little learning is a dangerous thing.’ [Hints: Explain the concept (introduction), give example (related story) , illustrated the idea and give moral.] Ans: 'A little learning is a dangerous thing.’ The phrase, ‘A little learning is a dangerous thing’. we have experienced, in the period of Corona, we have watched videos on the social Medias about how to protect us from the corona, but most of the information misguided us due to which many people did not take proper medical guidance and lost their lives. Let’s see a story which will clear our idea; one day, a camel entered the melon field and stated eating melons. By chance, a melon got jammed in the camel’s throat. The animal began to make noise. When the owner of the camel saw it, he understood the matter at once. He got a blanket and wrapped it around the neck of the camel and hit it hard with a wooden mallet. The melon broke and the camel swallowed it easily. A man who came late there saw this half process. He thought it was a treatment for a goiter. In the next village, he pretended to be a doctor who could cure goiters. The villagers brought an elderly woman to him for treatment. The man asked for a blanket and a mallet, just like he had seen before. He wrapped the blanket around the woman's neck and hit her hard with the mallet, thinking it would help her. Unfortunately with that forceful blow, the woman passed away instantly. The villagers caught the quack doctor and handed over the police. Finally he was sent to prison for his little knowledge. Listening to the advice of someone who is less educated can lead to wrong choices in life. It gives us a moral that A Little Knowledge is Dangerous Thing Expansion of Idea - 3 Expand the ideas of proverb, “A book cannot be judged by its cover”. [Hints: Explain the concept (introduction), give example (related story) , illustrated the idea and give moral.] The proverb, “A book cannot be judged by its cover explains that a book with a very attractive cover may not have readable material inside. On the other hand, a book with a very dull cover may be very interesting. This is true of everything in life. or one can say what we see is not true. Let’s see a story which will clear our idea; a doctor entered the hospital in a hurry for an urgent surgery of a boy. The boy’s father was waiting in the hall for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled: “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?” The doctor smiled & said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital, but I came as fast as I received the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work.” “Calm down?! If your own son dies now, what will you do?” said the father angrily. The doctor smiled, changed his clothes and went into the operation theater. After some time, the doctor came out happily, “Thank goodness! Your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply, he absolutely ran away from there. “Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son.” said the father. The nurse answered, with the tears “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial
The Sign of Four
The Sign of Four Chapter II The Statement (introduction) of the Case Miss Morstan entered the room with a firm step and an outward composure of manner. She was a young lady, small, dainty, well gloved, and dressed in the most perfect taste. There was, however, a plainness and simplicity about her costume which bore with it a suggestion of limited means. The dress was a somber grayish beige, untrimmed and unbraided, and she wore a small turban of the same dull hue, relieved only by a suspicion of white feather in the side. Her face had neither regularity of feature nor beauty of complexion, but her expression was sweet and amiable, and her large blue eyes were singularly spiritual and sympathetic. In an experience of women which extends over many nations and three separate continents, I have never looked upon a face which gave a clearer promise of a refined and sensitive nature. I could not but observe that as she took the seat which Sherlock Holmes placed for her, her lip trembled, her hand quivered, and she showed every sign of intense inward agitation. “I have come to you, Mr. Holmes,” she said, “because you once enabled my employer, Mrs. Cecil Forrester, to unravel a little domestic complication. She was much impressed by your kindness and skill.” “Mrs. Cecil Forrester,” he repeated thoughtfully. “I believe that I was of some slight service to her. The case, however, as I remember it, was a very simple one.” “She did not think so. But at least you cannot say the same of mine. I can hardly imagine anything more strange, more utterly inexplicable, than the situation in which I find myself.” Holmes rubbed his hands, and his eyes glistened. He leaned forward in his chair with an expression of extraordinary concentration upon his clear-cut, hawk - like features. “State your case,” said he, in brisk, business tones. I felt that my position was an embarrassing one. “You will, I am sure, excuse me,” I said, rising from my chair. To my surprise, the young lady held up her gloved hand to detain me. “If your friend,” she said, “would be good enough to stop, he might be of inestimable service to me.” I relapsed into my chair. “Briefly,” she continued, “the facts are these. My father was an officer in an Indian regiment who sent me home when I was quite a child. My mother was dead, and I had no relative in England. I was placed, however, in a comfortable boarding establishment at Edinburgh, and there I remained until I was seventeen years of age. In the year 1878 my father, who was senior captain of his regiment, obtained twelve months’ leave and came home. He telegraphed to me from London that he had arrived all safe, and directed me to come down at once, giving the Langham Hotel as his address. His message, as I remember, was full of kindness and love. On reaching London I drove to the Langham, and was informed that Captain Morstan was staying there, but that he had gone out the night before and had not yet returned. I waited all day without news of him. That night, on the advice of the manager of the hotel, I communicated with the police, and next morning we advertised in all the papers. Our inquiries led to no result; and from that day to this no word has ever been heard of my unfortunate father. He came home with his heart full of hope, to find some peace, some comfort, and instead—” She put her hand to her throat, and a choking sob cut short the sentence. “The date?” asked Holmes, opening his note-book. “He disappeared upon the 3rd of December, 1878. —nearly ten years ago. “His luggage?” “Remained at the hotel. There was nothing in it to suggest a clue,-some clothes, some books, and a considerable number of curiosities from the Andaman Islands. He had been one of the officers in charge of the convict - guard there.” “Had he any friends in town?” “Only one that we know of,—Major Sholto, of his own regiment, the 34th Bombay Infantry. The major had retired some little time before, and lived at Upper Norwood. We communicated with him, of course, but he did not even know that his brother officer was in England.” “A singular case,” remarked Holmes. “I have not yet described to you the most singular part. About six years ago— to be exact, upon the 4th of May, 1882— an advertisement appeared in the Times asking for the address of Miss Mary Morstan and stating that it would be to her advantage to come forward. There was no name or address appended . I had at that time just entered the family of Mrs. Cecil Forrester in the capacity of governess. By her advice I published my address in the advertisement column. The same day there arrived through the post a small card-board box addressed to me, which I found to contain a very large and lustrous pearl. No word of writing was enclosed. Since then every year upon the same date there has always appeared a similar box, containing a similar pearl, without any clue as to the sender. They have been pronounced by an expert to be of a rare variety and of considerable value. You can see for yourselves that they are very handsome.” She opened a flat box as she spoke, and showed me six of the finest pearls that I had ever seen. “Your statement is most interesting,” said Sherlock Holmes. “Has anything else occurred to you?” “Yes and no later than to-day. That is why I have come to you. This morning I received this letter, which you will perhaps read for yourself.” “Thank you,” said Holmes. “The envelope too, please. Postmark, London, S.W. Date, July 7. Hum! Man’s thumb- mark on corner—probably postman. Best quality paper. Envelopes at
The Sign of Four - Small
History of Jonathan Small Jonathan Small is the main antagonist of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Sign of the Four. He is a peg-legged man who has an accomplice in his loyal friend Tonga.Small He joined the army and served in India. During that time, he was swimming in a river when a crocodile bit his leg off, leaving him crippled. Later Small worked on a plantation as an overseer, and during the Indian mutiny of 1857 his friends were killed and he was forced to flee to Agra to save himself. At Agra, Small was charged as a guard. Two Sikhs, on duty with him, took him hostage and told him of their plan to kill a messanger of Raja, who was to arrive shortly carrying a treasure box full of jewels. If he refused to join them they would kill him. so Small finally agreed. Small, the two men and a third Sikh killed the messanger, hid the treasure, and drew a map with the four signing as the Sign of Four. Their plan was ruined when the body of the victim was discovered and Small was sentence to hard labor for life in the Andaman Islands. In the prison, Small overheard two officers of guard, Arthur Morstan and John Sholto talking about their gambling losses and how they may have to hand in their commissions and be ruined. He told them about the treasure, and also told them that if they help him and his friends, they can have equal share amounting each. Morstan sent Sholto to check, but Sholto tricked Small and Morstan, and took the treasure back to England. In 1882 Small then with Tonga managed to escape the prison by killing a guard. He hit the guard with his wooden leg, saying later that that was his only crime. After their escape from prison island in Tonga's boat. When they reached England, Small found out where Sholto was but not where the treasure was. Sholto was, by this time a dying man, and had called his sons Thaddeus and Bartholomew to him to reveal the treasure's location. A glimpse of Small's face in a window panicked Sholto so much that he died before revealing where the treasure was to his sons. Small kept an eye on the house through an agent in the house though he travelled much. In 1888 Small found out about the recovery of the treasure. He wanted to stage robbery. Tonga who was agile climbed up the Sholto house and tied a rope, and Small climbed up. When they climbed up, Small saw Bartholomew Sholto. Small wanted only to tie him up, but Tonga who got there first shot a poison dart into him killing him, which enraged Small. Small took the treasure and ran away. He engaged a fast steam launchboat called Aurora for their escape, but was tracked down by Holmes, Watson and the police. In the chase on the Thames, Holmes and Watson killed Tonga, who tried to kill them with a poison dart. While the Aurora managed to make it to the shore, Small got stuck in the mud. The treasure box was empty - Small had threw it overboard just before to his capture At Baker Street, Small told his history, and the police took him away. Small admits but doesn't express regret for any of the crimes he was involved in - except for the death of Bartholomew Sholto. He observes that despite his "claim" to the Agra Treasure that it never brought anything except bad luck to those who tried to posses it {The Servant who had it was killed; Major Sholto lived in years for fear and guilt; Small spending over half of his life building a breakwater in the Adaman Islands and will likely spend the rest of his life building drains in Dartmoor Prison}.
