Rahul was a short statured boy—he was
bullied by his classmates for having short-
height, especially, when he used to go to the
basketball court to play with them—but he
was passionate about the game and used to
practise when nobody was there—one day,
the basketball coach saw him practising
and was quite impressed with his talent—
he told Rahul that despite having short
height, he can play basketball and infact,
use his height as an advantage—he then
gave the examples of famous basketball
players, who have made a mark in the game,
despite having short height—the speed and
quickness as well as the ability to shoot
better than taller players are the advantages
for the players having short height—s

For the View: ‘Students get distracted
from studies due to constant use of digital
technology.”
Yes, students get distracted from studies
due to constant use of digital technology—
(i) many students after their school hours,
are found using smartphones, texting their
friends, playing video games, watching
movies and sporting events, listening to
music, and surfing different internet sites;
in the process, they waste lot of time, which
they would have otherwise spent in their
studies; (ii) while surfing the internet for
doing their homework or completing their
projects, the students get tempted to look
at various other sites, which are harmful for
their development; (ii) the social networking,
sites are a great acidiction; students use
these sites for chatting, sharing thi

Helen Keller, the deaf-blind person, who
overcame all her disabilities to become a
renowned author, political activist and
lecturer, said, “Life is either a daring
adventure or nothing at all’ Helen Keller
proved through her own example the truth
of this statement—due to an illness in
her childhood, Helen Keller became deat
and blind—she passed through many
obstacles and not only learnt to live with
her disabilities but dared to overcome
them through training and education, She
became the first deaf-blind person to earn a
Bachelor of Arts degree—her life is a lesson
that we have to take risks in life to move
ahead and if we don't we will remain where
we are—those who have made a mark in
life had dared to do something exemplary
to succeed.

of our actions and words, both good and

bring disastrous results—so we should
watch both our acts and words. CHAPTER-6

Disadvantages: Only memory tested—
unfair means like copying—year's hardwork
ruined if one is ill on examination day,
illness in the family or accident—not ideal
system of assessment—examiners can be
influenced—no test of real intelligence—
must be changed.

fine and, of course, missing me—after
reaching Manali, | along with a group of
friends checked in a famous resort—as we
reached the temperatures were dipping
—snowfall was expected—soon tiny flakes
of snow turned into heavy snowfall, which
turned Manali into a winter wonderland,
for which all of us had gone to there—the
snow-clad mountains, trees, rool-tops,
appeared as if nature has laid a silvery
carpet everywhere and transformed the
land intoa white marvel—we enjoyed rolling
and playing in the snow—but due to heavy
snowfall, the roads got blocked—people got
stranded on the highway—electric supply
remained suspended for hours—after the
snowfall, there were icy cold winds blowing
—the temperatures dropped further —biting

a satisfactory and enjoyable trip—convey
