Q)    Translate following paragraphs into your mother language.


Exercise--1


  We must do exercise to keep our body and mind fit. As a student one has to acquire lots of new knowledge on variety of subjects daily. This needs physical and mental soundness. Only a healthy body contains healthy mind. We can join gym, do yoga, walking, jogging or swimming. By doing exercise our heart beat increases and body temperature goes up. This cleanses the body and relaxes the mind. It also reduces our stress. Exercise increases our efficiency in all works and reduces our chances of falling ill. It improves our immunity. It also improves many mental capabilities like concentration, penetration, memorizing and recalling. So, exercise is the must for students.      

Exercise--2

  I closed my book and lied on the sofa. It was very comfortable. I took a deep breath. It seems as if air was passing through my head right at the place where I was feeling stress. It was cool. I breathed deeply once more. Same feeling again. It was great. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on my breath. With every inhale, fresh air entered into the head and sucked the stress out with every exhale. After some breaths I felt very light and fresh. My mind was very calm. I opened eyes. Clock was ticking. Second-hand was moving -  thung-thung-thung. This time sound was louder and clearer. It has engaged all my attention. I could see the second-hand moving slowly. When it struck – thung , I felt a bang in my heart. I started enjoying the rhythm. Slowly I closed eyes. I didn’t know when I fell asleep.

Exercise--3

Teachers are the most valuable persons of any society. They are the most respected persons also. Teachers give direction to students. They not only impart education to them but also built their character. This is an act of nation building. I want to contribute in this mission. I want to acquire all qualities of a good teacher. I would like to work in rural area. I have decided to devote my whole life to empower students through education.

I was very impressed with my new school. Memory of that day is still fresh in my mind. I can not forget that day.

Exercise--3

This is the general problem of all colonies in the city. But we are facing it a bit extra. There are two nalas (open sewers) in our colony- One on the eastern border and another passing through middle of the colony. Most of the time these are choked and over- flown. One can feel bad smell in the air all the time.
As if it is not enough, there is a MCD ‘garden’ in our colony which is turning into garbage dumping ground. Garbage from nearby colonies is also collected here. This garbage spreads on the roads by carrying vehicles. During rainy season this becomes a real hell. An epidemic can break anytime. This is the shear carelessness of the municipal corporation.
