Q. 3 B) Write a brief summary of the above (Q. 3 (A)) extract and, suggest a suitable title: -, , Q. 3 B) Summary Writing:-, , 4 marks, , Most of the water in the soil is rain water and theoretically it, should be as pure as distilled water. Fortunately, however, this is, usually not the case, for plants need not only water to live, but also, minerals – vital salts which are liberated during the decomposition, of rock and soil. This decomposition is a continuous process and, proceeds fastest at high temperature. When there is plenty of rain,, most of the salts produced by decomposition are washed away into, streams and rivers, and a proper mineral balance is maintained., , THE GROWTH OF PLANTS, Plants need water as well minerals for growth. Decomposition, of rock and soil is a continuous process which produces salts –, minerals. During rain salt produced by this process is washed away, into streams and rivers, which maintains mineral balance. As salt, concentration in the ocean is high, very few land plants grow in sea, water. Most plants like coconuts growing on beaches live on fresh, water. Their roots do not reach sea water but only go down to the, fresh water which is lighter than salt and so floats on top of it., , The salt concentration in the ocean is also high and very few, land plants grow in sea water. Most plants which grow on beaches,, , Total word: - 56 words, , such as the coconut palm, actually live on fresh water, paradoxical, though this may seem. The seashore may be their habitat because, the ocean currents will distribute their seeds, the coconuts, but they, can no more live on salt water than any other plant. In fact, their, roots do not reach sea water, but only go down to the fresh water, which, being lighter than the salt, floats on top of it. Thus, when it, rains on the sandy tropical beaches, the rain water raises the water, table in the sand, forcing the salt water downward and outward., , या, , नाचे उ तर पु ढ ल, , माणे :-, , Saindane Sir….

Answer:I grew on the bank of ditch. The sun shown as warmly and, brightly upon me as on the magnificent garden flowers, and therefore I, thrived well. One morning it had quite opened, and my little snow-white, petals stood round the yellow centre like the rays of the sun. I did not, mind that nobody saw me in the grass, and that I was a poor despised, flower, on the contrary, I was quite happy, and turned towards the sun,, looking upward and listening to the song of the lark high up in the air., I was happy. I sat on my thin green stalk and learnt from the sun, and from its surroundings that God is very kind and I rejoiced that the, song og the little lark expressed my own feelings so sweetly and, distinctly. With a sort of reverence I looked up to the bird that could fly, and sing, but it did not feel envious, “I can see and hear, the sun shines, upon me, and the forest kisses me. I am very rich., , Q. 5(B) Dialogue, म हो, या, , Writing: नातील Dialogue Writing, , 4 marks, ह Passage म ये असलेला, , संवाद (Dialogue) हा एकू ण 4 Dialogue म ये लहावे., , “I wish I could console the poor lark,’’ thought the daisy. It could not, move one of its leaves, but the fragrance of its delicate petals steamed forth, and, was much stronger than such flowers usually have; the bird noticed it, although, it was dying with thirst, and in its pain tore up the green blades of grass, but did, not touch the flower., The evening came, and nobody appeared to bring the poor bird a drop, of water; it opened its beautiful wings, and fluttered about in its anguish; a faint, and mournful “Tweet, tweet,” was all it could utter, then it bent its little head, towards the flower, and its heart broke for want and longing. The flower could, not, as on the previous evening, fold up its petals and sleep; it dropped, sorrowfully. The boys only came the next morning; when they saw the dead, bird, they began to cry bitterly, dug a nice grave for it, and adorned it with, flowers. The bird’s body was placed in a pretty red box; they wished to bury it, with royal honors. While it was alive and sang they forgot it, and let it suffer, want in the cage; now, they carried over it and covered it with flowers. The, piece of turf, with the little daisy in it, was thrown out on the dusty highway., Nobody thought of the flower which had felt so much for the bird and had so, greatly desired to comfort it., Based on the extract, write a dialogue of about 8-10 sentences between the, two boys after they see the dead bird., Ist boy, : Alas! This pretty lark is dead., IInd boy, , : Do you think it is because we put it in a cage?, , Ist boy, , : Yes, I think so. Also, there was not even a drop of water, , Steps in Developing Conversation Skill:-, , in its bowl. How could we have been so careless?, , 1) Good morning, Hello, Hi, How do you do?

What can we do now?, , Ist boy, , : We will give it a nice burial., , 2) Good bye, Bye – while taking leave, , IInd boy, , : We will keep flowers around the grave., , 3) Somebody wants to speak to a person who is busy in work should be said, ‘Excuse me’ and then speak, , Ist boy, , : Shall we get another bird for the cage?, , IInd boy, , : No, I don’t think so. I think it is wrong to cage birds., , 4) Use ‘Thank you’ for gratitude ‘Sorry’ for something improper., , Ist boy, , : What about this piece of turf? There was a pretty little, flower on it. But that too is now dead., , 5) Well, fine, very good, how nice! Splendid, OK, my God, good heavens., For example:-, , IInd boy, , : Oh, we have indeed been very wicked and cruel., Saindane Sir….
