This brings me along to democracy, even love the beloved Republic
which feed upon freedom. Democracy is not a Beloved Republic really and
never will be. But it is less hateful than other contemporary forms of
Government and to that extent it deserves our support. It does start from the
assumption that the individual is important and that all types are needed to
make a civilization it does not divide its citizens into bossers and bossed as
an efficiency regime tends to do. The people I admire most are those who are
sensitive and want to create something or discover something and do not see
life in terms of power and such people get more of a chance under a
democracy than elsewhere. They find religions great or small or they produce
literature and art they do disinterested scientific research or they may be
what is called ordinary people who are creative in their provate lives, bring up
their children devently for instance or help their neighbours. All those people
need to express themselves; they cannot do so unless society allows them
liberty to do so and the society which them most lilberty is democracy.

f)

Conclusion; The responsibilities of the society in bringing up the children.

Childhood is the golden age, the span of which ranges from birth to
adolescence. Though there are certain problems associated with this
colourful looking age yet generally it is considered the best period of human
life. It is also very interesting that when a person crosses the boundary of
childhood and puts a glance on his past he longs that would that he were a
child again but time and tide wait for none. Neither he can go back to his
childhood nor childhood can come to him again. As for as the children are
concerned, they look toward the elder ones with an eye of awe and envy and
anxiously wait for that glorious age when they would have got all the worldly
resources with them to fulfill all the desires. In fact the childhood has both
bright and dark aspects which are explained as under:
Childhood is no doubt a blessed period of human life. In this period the
children are away from all worldly worries. They know no financial worries.
They are never in debt as their parents are responsible for all their expenses.
They have no burden of quarrels of any kind. No family quarrel ever bothers
them .They are away from political, religious and provincial wars .If they ever
quarrel, their anger vanishes in minutes. They are always the apple of their
parents eyes who are all the time at their services. An other superiority that
the children have over the elders is being energetic, active and free from
disease. They run all the day long but do not feel any kind of weariness
.They are free from every kind of psychological trouble or mental tension.
But there are some dark and grim aspects of this period also. It is not
fair to say that life of the children is away from worries and tensions. They
do have their own problems and worries. The problem of studies, going early
every morning to school unwillingly, toilsome and tiresome hours at school,
harsh and sever behavior of the teachers and rebukes and beating from the
senior students are the undeniable facts of their lives. Some lucky children
are born with silver spoons in their mouths. They have every facility of life no
doubt but the case is not the same with the others. A great number of the
children face severe difficulties due to shortage of pocket money. The unlucky
students that face weakness in studies or failure in education become the
sever victims of anger and curse from their parents and family. All these
factors leave a life long impression on their receptive minds and tender
hearts.
All the above facts make the childhood a period that is a curious blend
of tears and smiles, laughter and sighs, hopes and disappointments. The
people who think that the childhood is a care free zone of the life, they should
at least look behind to their own childhood to recall all this. To give the proper
attention and importance to the delicate problems of the children is first and
foremost duty of the parents and the society as well. No doubt child is a
tender sapling in the garden of this world but it needs proper attention, care
and devotion from those who are responsible for its spiritual nourishment and
physical growth.

ANSWER:
(precis of the passage)
The essence of democracy is freedom. Though it is not always loved yet it is a
fact that it is less hateful than any other form of the government so we
should support it. Its axis is individual and it never divides humanity into
masters and slaves. The people who are sensitive and creative they do not
give importance to power but show their ability and creativity. They act upon
religion freely, produce literature, make scientific research,They bring up their
children and do noble deeds and for all these activities no system of
government is more supportive than the democracy.

Q.6 write a dialogue between two persons about change in weather.


ANSWER:
Dialogue between two persons about change in weather:
Arooj: Hello dear GuL, To where you are going so early in the morning very
lightly dressed? It is 15th of December, Dont you feel cold.
GuL: Hello dear! Dont you se the weather is quite pleasant as compared
with that of the previous year it was in these days. Most of the people have
not still started wearing warm clothes.
Arooj: It is very strange. The weather of the whole world is changing
amazingly. In many parts of the world, summer season was very mild than
before. This year in December is still very warm in even Europe and America.
GuL: It seems, the winter season has postponed its program to come this

year and if it comes its duration will be very short.


Arooj: You are quite right but this change can affect crops badly. You see we
are still waiting the first rain fall of this season whereas the crops in many
parts of our country, mostly, depend on rains such as wheat and gram crops.
GuL: Dont worry dear. In weather report the rains have been forecast in the
next week. If it blows hard the weather can be cool.
Arooj: This is a very good news the rain at this time will not only be good for
the crops but the atmosphere will also be washed and thus the air will be
purified to rid the people of different diseases.
GuL: You are quite right but dear but my actual worry is, if the weather goes
on changing like that, what will become of the world!
Arooj: Dont worry my dear, the Creator of the world is its care taker in the
best way. He
is very kind to His creation. We are only to pray to him. I think, lets depart
now.
GuL: Ok, thank you. Good bye.
Arooj: Thank you, Good bye.
