One needs to blend the parts in an appropriate manner. For making a tea, first,

for quite a while. Meanwhile put tea leaves into a kettle. Put one spoonful of tea
for each cup. At the point when the water in the pan begins boiling, put it
into the kettle. Wait for a few minutes. Simultaneously, heat up some milk
separately. The tea in the kettle is prepared. Serve it to your companions. All

IV. i) a) Write a report of a Group Discussion
conducted among four students on the topic of ‘corruption’ (5 Marks)
Ans: Corruption is at the
foundation of every transaction on the planet, not to mention India. From
enormous business to little traffic tickets, evading the outcomes of their
activities motivates people to turn to Corruption. It darkens the spirit and
damages the values and laws of society. Sadly, Corruption is a self-sustaining
endless loop that undermines the actual texture of our general public.
We can eliminate Corruption
by demonetization, online closeouts for range distributions, Jan Dhan Yojana
and Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme, Central Vigilance Commission has proclaimed
Anti Black Money Day and a few other such drives to make Corruption free India.
While the public authority has taken a great deal of drives to remove
Corruption, it can work on the off chance that the officials, private sector
and everyday person combine to make the vision of a scam free India.
Ans: Great morning to all present here. I hope everybody
here gains something from my speech.
Education could be characterized as the most common way of acquiring knowledge, expertise, beliefs, and values that helps in growth and development of a person. Education is the main resource, it is just about as significant as food, safe house, and garments. Today, education is the main part of society as it helps in giving a task and beginning a family. Educating helps in grasping the world in a superior manner. Allow us to take a guide to understand that. Education furnishes a person with chances to show off their abilities in the public eye and find success later on. Education also gives a business opportunity and on the off chance that an individual is utilized and is working, the poverty of the nation will dramatically diminish which will help in the improvement of the country.
Numerous institutes provide just theoretical knowledge
that assists the student with getting passing marks in tests which will
increase an individual employment but many organizations fail to provide
practical knowledge to excel in the real world. I might want to end this speech
by saying education is vital as it helps in carrying economic advancement and
social change to the country. Individuals who are taught will assist in
creating and bringing new thoughts and ideas, which will help in the
development of the country.
ii) a) Describe the strongest person you met in your life using appropriate adjectives. 5 MARKS
Ans: I met this person several years back. His name was Rajesh. He had an
amazing academic qualification and was joyful person to quickly lift anybody's
mood. We always talked with one another from time to time and I used to
surprise whether anybody could be so lively. On one occasion I met his father
and sister at a shopping mall and they appeared to be considerably more
pleasant. Returning home, I asked why God had favoured him so much, it was a
period when things weren't going great in my life.
I did not speak with him for so many months then I phoned him over
telephone to get some information about something important and he didn't
reply. He said that he lost his mother a few days before. I was practically
broken. I made an honest effort not to express it and said I would call him
later. I got to be aware from one of his family members that his mother died
when he was driving car and met any accident and the number of difficulties, he
that had been facing. I understood that I was so dumb to have judged so
quickly. I say thanks to God for all that I have and I gained from him what maturity
really is.
b) Describe a beautiful location in nature (5
Marks)
Ans: Nature is excellence
and magnificence is Nature. Wherever Nature is wonderful in one or the other
way. The excellence of Nature has been a wellspring of motivation and enjoyment
to humanity. It is an unending source of satisfaction. Dew drops on the green
grass seem to be pearls. Dawn is a wonderful scene of Nature. Sunset, brilliant
evening, shimmering light of the Moon, snow-covered mountains, profound and dim
woods, aroma and scent of blossoms are a portion of the delights of Nature. The
tweeting of birds in trees has its very own music. In Spring, Nature is at her
best. Sprouting blossoms of various tones consume the space with aroma. The
wonders of Nature relieve our eyes, encourage our hearts and recognize our
spirits.
