After nine months’ war and the sacrifice of the freedom fighters, the red sun of independence rose in our soil on the 16th December 1971. Now we remember them with great respect. 15. Long ago there lived a hare in a forest. He was always proud of his speed. A tortoise also lived nearby. He always teased him for his slow speed. This made the tortoise very angry and he said, "You can run fast, no doubt. But I think you can talk even faster than you can run." Then the tortoise proposed to run a race with the hare. The hare gladly accepted it. They both went to a fox and asked him to be the judge of their race. The fox agreed. Other beasts of the forest were also invited. On the appointed day they met a cross road. He read out some rules to be followed by both of them. The destination of the race was also marked. Finally, the race began. 16. Liberty does not descend upon a people. A people must raise itself to it. It is a fruit that must be earned before it can be enjoyed. That freedom means freedom only from foreign domination is an outworn idea. It is not merely the government who should be free, but people themselves should be free and no freedom has any real value for the common man of woman unless she is free from want, free from disease and free from ignorance. This is the main task which confronts us if we are to take our rightful place in the modern world. We can’t hold the clock back and therefore, it is we who must go forward at a double pace bending all our resources and all our energies to the purpose. 17. King Lear, a father of three daughters:Goneril, Regan and Cordelia, ruled his kingdom for many years and arrived almost at the end of their days. He was very much tired of it and decided to divide the kingdom among three daughters. That would be materialized only after his daughters had expressed her love for him in words. Their expression made him both happy and angry; the sweet but false words of Goneril and Regan made him happy whereas the practical but genuine words from Cordelia made him angry. Therefore, he divided his kingdom between the first two daughters giving Cordelia noting which he thought a good decision but by the later activities of the first two daughters proved that it was wrong. 18. There have been significant changes in the types of entertainment over time. Many of that no longer exist. Even if that do, people keep looking for newer forms of entertainment. Thus snake charming, puppet shows, jatra, jarigan, sharigan and kabigan, who were common forms of entertainment in the past, have almost lost them appeal. Radio, who used to be a good source of entertainment in the past, is now giving place to television and to satellite channels in particular. 19. Lear, the aging king of Britain, decides to step from the throne and divide its kingdom evenly among his three daughters. First, however, he puts his daughters through a test, asking each to tell him how much they love him. Goneril and Regan, Lear’s old daughters, give her father flattering answers. She also befools the old king. But Cordeliar, Lear’s youngest and favourite daughter, remains silent, saying that she has no words who will describe her earnest love to her father. Lear flies into a rage and disowns them. 20. Poetry in every language celebrates beauty and truth. It is also celebrated in art. In the test book there are two poems. They present some enduring ideas about beauty and truth. One is written by Lord Byron (1788-1824), and one is written by Emily Dickonson (1830-1886). The former is an English poet of Romantic tradition, but the other is an American poet. They have celebrated it very well in their poems. Pronoun What is a Pronoun? For a complete list of pronouns, Pronouns are the stunt doubles of the English language. They keep communication going with or without the nouns. Pronouns come in to keep nouns from getting repetitive or when nouns are not clearly known. They do more work than you think, so read on to learn about them. Subject and object pronouns are used in everyday language. However, it can be tricky to remember which is which. The subject always takes action. The object is part of the activity, but it does not do any acting. Here is an example: Shelby likes talking to Marvin. Shelby is the subject; she is liking and talking. Marvin is the object; all the liking and talking is done to Marvin but not by Marvin. Subject and object pronouns function in the same way. Subject pronouns include I, you, he, she, it, they, we. Object pronouns include me, you, him, her, it, us, them. See the following examples: Subject I might see you later. You have to come now. She lives in Nebraska. He makes me angry It just might work. They caught the last train. We can’t see the end. Object Sarah hit me on the arm. I need to tell you something. Larry took him aside. The message wasn’t for her. Take it to the store. Summer is fun for us. Margaret took them downstairs. Possessive pronouns show who owns something described in a sentence. They include mine, his, hers, its, ours, yours, their, and theirs. Possessive adjectives are similar to possessive pronouns. However, the possessive adjective comes before the object of the sentence; the possessive pronoun is the object of the sentence. See the difference here: That is my dog. (possessive adjective, before the object “dog”) The dog is mine. (possessive pronoun, which is the object) Intensive pronouns and reflexive pronouns look the same. However, they act differently in a sentence. Intensive pronouns put an emphasis on other pronouns or nouns. Reflexive pronouns rename the subject in a sentence. Look at the following examples: Intensive pronoun – She herself will go to the bank. (herself emphasizes the pronoun she) Reflexive pronoun – She cut herself on the arm. (herself renames the pronoun she) Intensive and reflexive pronouns include: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. Demonstrative pronouns refer to things in relation to distance. This and these refer to things that are close by. That and those refer to things farther away. This is your shirt. That is my house on the corner. These good friends are sitting next to me. Those roads in the next town are bumpy. Indefinite pronouns replace nouns that are not specified. They include the following: all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, both, each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, neither, nobody, none, no one, nothing, one, several, some, somebody, someone, and something. Read the example sentences for a better understanding. We gave everything to the homeless shelter All were sad to see the children go. Give a present to each as they come in. Interrogative pronouns are used to ask a question. They include who, whom, what, which, whose, whoever, whomever, whatever, and whichever. Consider the example sentences below: Which of these do you like best? Who was just in this room? Whatever happens next, I am prepared. Relative pronouns connect (relate) noun or pronoun clauses with other parts of a sentence. They include who, whom, what, which, whose, whoever, whomever, whatever, whichever, and that. See how these are used in the sentences below. The paper that she just wrote is due tomorrow. Learning is easier for people who have a good teacher. Whoever leaves the room needs to turn off the light .
