I go to Iceland to visit the lunar spaces within me, and in the uncanny quietude and emptiness of that vast and treeless world, to tap parts of myself generally obscured by chatter androutine.  We travel, then, in search of both self and anonymity - and, of course, in finding the one we apprehend the other. Abroad, we are wonderfully free of caste and job and standing; we are, as Hazlitt puts it, just the “gentlemen in the parlour,” and people cannot put a name or tag to us. And precisely because we are clarified in this way, and freed of inessential labels, we have the opportunity to come into contact with more essential parts of ourselves.  Abroad is the  place  where  we  stay  up late,  follow impulse and find ourselves as wide open as when we are in love. We live without a past or future, for a moment at least, and are ourselves up for grabs and open to interpretation We even may become mysterious -to others, at first, and sometimes to ourselves -and, as no less a dignitary than Oliver Cromwell once noted, “A man never goes so far as when he doesn’t know where he is going.”  A1. Match the following.         (2) A B 1) Buddhist A) lunar spaces 2) Abroad B) Chants 3) Hazlitt C) gentlemen in the parlour 4) Iceland D) free of caste and job A2.

difference between then and then

[metaslider id="3977"] What is the difference between "then" and "than"?     The words "then" and "than" are often confused by English speakers, as they sound similar and have similar meanings. However, they are two distinct words with different uses. The word "then" is used to refer to a point in time or an event that occurs after another event. The word "than" is used to compare two things or people. Understanding the difference between these two words can help you communicate more effectively in English.  The words “then” and “than” are often confused and misused in English. They are both adverbs, but they have different meanings and usages. The word “then” is generally used to describe a sequence of events or time, while the word “than” is used for comparison. For example, you can say: "I went to the store first, then I went home." Here, "then" is used to describe the order of events. On the other hand, you can say: "I am taller than my sister." Here, "than" is used for comparison. The word "then" is used to indicate a sequence of events or a logical consequence. It can also be used to describe something that happened or will happen at a specific time in the future. On the other hand, the word "than" is used to compare two things in terms of size, degree, amount, etc. It is also used when making comparisons between two people or things. It is important for writers to understand the difference between these two words as using them incorrectly can lead to confusion and misunderstanding by readers. The words “then” and “than” are two of the most commonly confused words in the English language. While they are both used to compare and contrast ideas, they have different meanings and should be used in different contexts. The word “then” is used to refer to a point in time or sequence of events, while the word “than” is used for comparisons between two things. Knowing when to use each word correctly can be challenging but is an important part of mastering English grammar. The words 'then' and 'than' are two words that are often confused, leading to mistakes in spelling and incorrect usage. While both of these words refer to time, they have very different meanings. It is important to understand the difference between the two for accurate communication. Then and than refer to different fragments of time; then is used when talking about an event or action that is happening at a particular moment in past, present and/or future. On the other hand, than is used for comparisons and contrasts. Therefore it becomes necessary for everyone to keep this distinction clear between the two so as not to make mistakes while using them in their conversations. Have you ever been confused between the differences between 'then' and 'than'? Both of these words have different uses and meanings, so mastering the difference between them is essential for correct English grammar. 'Then' is used to describe a time period, while ‘than’ is used to compare two things or ideas. To help understand this difference better, let's look at some examples of how we can use ‘then’ and ‘than’ in sentences. "I went to the store and then to the park." (then referring to a specific time) "I prefer coffee than tea." (than used to make a comparison) Click to contact us 9822716201 arsodyogiraj@gmail.com 4, Dewkinandan, Shinde Plots, Yavatmal.

Activity Sheet

Q. 1.A) Read the given extract and complete the activity given below: (12 Marks) A1. Read the following statements and pick out the statement which expresses the intention of the writer.   (2) A1. Write true or false.  (2) (a) A senior guy motivated the writer in the mess. (b) The writer would think in Marathi, before speaking in English. (c) He decided to go to Solapur at first . (d) The writer wanted to speak excellent, elegant andfluent English.       One day, I was sitting at my mess table in the hostel sipping tea when a senior guy came and sat on the chair adjacent to me. He was a convent educated guy with fairly sophisticated English- at least spoken or colloquial English. He was a bit arrogant and wanted to pull my leg. He tried to engage in some conversation with me and started pointing out errors in just about every sentence or everything that I said. After about 5 minutes he walked away after insulting me.        I felt extremely humiliated and upset. As it is, I was feeling quite depressed and diffident and this incident was the last  straw.  I was almost broken.  I felt out of place there and literally wanted to run   away   to Solapur that very moment.  However, it was only my self-esteem which stopped me. Suddenly, a feeling of determination  and  strength   came   over me and  gripped  me. Despite  hailing  from Solapur,  if  I could   be   a  rank holder  in  the school,  college  and IIT with many awards   in   Mathematics, there must be something right with me.  Why should I give up?  And that too for a silly and   small  thing like  English?   I was not to give up anymore, and   I was determined to fight back.          As  I climbed  the  stairs of   my   hostel  room,   my  plan  was   ready   in my mind.  Normally  most of  us  who are  educated  in vernacular  languages  such as Marathi, think in Marathi, before speaking  in  English, translate  it  in English and then somehow try  to speak  out  these  translated  English sentences in an extremely awkward fashion. I had decided that I would do nothing of this sort. I wanted to achieve excellence.  This  urge to  excel  in anything  that  you try  to  do has  been  with me since the childhood. Whether  I  would  succeed in  this  or not,  I  always set my aims high. In this case too, I wanted to speak excellent, elegant and fluent English. The  first  thing I  did  was to  start  reading English  newspapers   and English novels.  I  studied etymology  and  phonetics  and  studied  the roots  of the  words and  how  to pronounce  them.  I used  to stand in  front  of  the mirror and practice speaking, realising my mistakes and correctingthem myself all the time and improvising and improving day by day.  A2.
