Non-Objective Type Questions

Question 1.
Write an essay in about 150-200 words on any one of the following (8)
(a) Value of Newspapers
(b) Science in the service of man
(c) Patriotism
(d) If I were a Millionaire
(e) Work is Workshop
Answer:
(a) Value of newspapers:
Information received form different quarters is, fact, treated as news. A newspaper is, thus, paper which contains the most important of such news and carries them to the people in general, it may be called a summary of the important current events.

The newspaper is very important in the life of a civilized nation. It is the medium through which public opinion is expressed. It circulates news and views in which different classes of people are interested. Thus, the teachers, doctors, lawyers, traders, sportsmen, even the children find in it some items of information that interest them.

The newspaper is a powerful means for propagating political views and moulding the opinions of the people towards certain ends. In fact, great change in the administration of a country may be made through the agency of newspapers. It also makes people conscious of their rights and duties and teach them how to protect their rights. Probably the greatest value of newspapers is that they develop and spread knowledge. Through the newspaper we come to know about the views of great thinkers and social refomers.

(b) Science in the service of man:
We are living in an age of science. Miracles of science have changed our lives. The best of the comforts and luxuries that we have today are the contributions of science. Science has made our life easy and comfortable. It has reduced the time, space and distance.

The inventions of science have revolutionized the world of transport. The distance is meaningless today. We have aeroplanes, cars, bullet trains, ships, etc. Within a short time we can cover a very long distance. The world has turned smaller due to these fast means of transport. Man has succeeded in landing on the moon. The means of transport have enabled us to explore the possibility of life on other planet. Space travel is a reality today.

Science has helped us to conquer many deadly diseases. Diseases like tuberculosis and cancer are no longer considered dangerous and incurable. Operations are performed in a painless way. The discovery of X-ray has helped in diagnosis of a disease and in locating an injury or fracture. Electric shocks are a great boon to surgery. In addition, new ultra scanning and plastic surgery are the wonder of science in the field of medicine.

But every silver cloud has a dark lining. Science is both constructive and destructive. It has given nuclear bomb, hydrogen bomb, fighter plane, sophisticated assault guns, pistols and rifles. Laser bombs, missiles and rockets can cause destruction and damage at a distant place.

Thus, science has created as well as annihilated. It is an instrument which needs to be used with rationality. It is a blessing so long as it is used with care and caution. It depends on us how we use it.

(c) Patriotism:
Patriotism is the feeling of love and respect for one’s country. Patriots are known to love their country unconditionally and are proud of it. Every country in the world has its set of patriorts-people who are ready to do anything for their country. However, the spirit of patriotism seems to be fading these days owing to the growing competition in every field as well as the changing lifestyle of people.

In the past, particularly during the British reign, many people came forward to instill the feeling of patriotism among their fellow countrymen. Patriots held meetings, gave lectures and used various other means to inspire the people around them. In the same way, a feeling of patriotism must be instilled in the young generation today too. This must be done when they are still young. School and colleges must fake initiate to instill children with a feeling of love and respect for their country.

Many institutions host functions and organize events on 15th August and 26th January. Patriotic songs are sung and a feeling of patriotism seems to engulf the entire nation around that time. But is this real patriotism? No! Such an atmosphere must be created in general and not just around these special dates. It is then that such a feeling will be instilled in the heart of every citizen forever.

A nation where the youth loves the country and is driven towards improving its condition socially and economically would certainly grow better. A true patriot is the one who’ works hard for the betterment of his country. He contributes his bit towards improving the condition of his country in whatever way he can. A true patriot does not only work towards building his nation but also inspires those around him to do so.

(d) If I were a Millionaire:
If wishes were horses, even beggars would ride. But sometimes dream come true. I am poor in life and my wishes are hopelessly small. I live in a state of uncertainty and I never know whether I shall be able to afford my next meal. But there is no check on one’s fancy. Fancy is my luxury. I wish I we a millionaire! As a poor man, I have often experienced that Rich men are generally selfish to the extent of being cruel. Their outlook on life is not human but materialistic.

They forget that to be rich is not to be in human. When I am rich, I shall not forget god and god’s men. A wealthy man can do much good to this world. Wealth often spoils man. Money along with comforts and care brings evil also. Rich men are generally victims to one evil or the other. I have natural dislike for the base and the disreputable. I was born human and shall live a pious and noble life. This duty o penly man owns to god. I shall fulfill this duty. I shall set a noble example before others and shall be a brilliant light for misguided millionaires.

I would very much wish to encourage social service in the country. I shall make a trust which will look after the welfare of orphans. It is a pity that in our country wealthy persons do not possess charitable qualities. I shall lead a noble life an cut down my own expenses so that I may help others to live better. I am a noble-hearted and simple person.That is what I could remain even if become a millionaire

(e) Work is Worship:
Work is what we make it to be. We all have similar work to do. Yet it is the attitude with which one works that makes the difference to it. If one works with irritation and anger it shows in the work. Even if the work is completed, there would neither have been joy during the process of working nor would there be beauty to the work accomplished.

We have work to do as a student. We need to study. We have to go to school. There are assignments and projects to do. We also participate in various curricular and extra-curricular activities during an academic session at school. All this constitutes our work. If we do it grudgingly, we cannot enjoy the education process. If there is joy in what we have to do, it becomes easier to accomplish. Learning then is fun, not a bore or trouble at all.

When we engage in worship we have the sentiment of respect, love, sincerity, simplicity and truth. There is also a sense of devotion, dedication and excellence in worship. If we could bring these values and such a sentiment to the work that we do, we would convert work to worship.

Question 2.
Explain any one of the following. (1 × 4 = 4)

(a) In no part of the world and under no civillization, have all men attained perfection.

The rich people having luxuries desire for yet more comforts and often poor people not taking interest in luxuries and comforts and often poor people not taking interest in luxuries and comfort bridles his passions and thus keeps himself content, satisfied and happy. So, the key real happiness lies in restriction of desires of our giddy mind and usage of hand and feet. Gandhi defines happiness as largely mental condition. Happiness is a stress less, joyful condition of mind.

So, although past is gone, it does keep the strength of deciding thing of present and future.

(b) Write the summary of any one :
(i) How Free is the Press
(ii) The Earth
(iii) Indian Through A traveller’s Eye
Answer:
(i) How Free is the Press:
That without a free press there can be no free people is things that al free people take for granted, we need not discuss it. Nor will we at this moment discuss the restrictions placed upon the press in time of war. At such Times all liberties have to be restricted, free people must see to it that when peace comes full freedom is restored in the meantime, it may Be wholesome to consider what that freedom is, and how far it is truly destraple.

It may trun out to be no freedom at all, or even a more freedom to tyrannies, for tyramnny is fact, the uncontrolled freedom of one man, or one gang, to impose its will on the world. When we speak of the freedom of the preass, we useally mens freedom in a very techincal and restricted sense- namely, Freedom from direction or cencership by the government. In this respect, the British press is under ordinary conditions.

Singulary free. lt can attack the policy and political charactor of minister interfere in the delicate machinery of foreign deplomacy,conduct campaigns to subject the constitution incite citizens to discontent and rebellion, expose scadals and foment grievance, and generally harry and behabour the servants of the state.

With alomost perfect liberty on occasion, it can become a weapon to coerce the government to conform to what it asserts to be the will of the people. So far, this is all to the good. Occasionally, this freedom may. Produce disastrous heistions and inconsistenceies in public policy, or tend to hemper the suift execution of emergency measures, but generally speaking it works to secure and sustain that central doctive o f Democracy as we understand it-that the state is not the master but the servant of the people. The press as a whole, and in technical and restrict sense, is thus pretty free in a peaceful Britain.

There is no shade of political opinnion that does not some how contrive to express itself. But if we go on to imagine that any particular organ of the press enjoys the larger liberty of being a forum of public opinic opinion, we are gravely mistaken. Every Newspaper is shacked to its own set of overloads and in its turn, like the ummerciful sarvant, exercise a power ful bondage upon its readers and one the public generally inded we may say that the heaviest restriction upon the freedom of public opinion is not the official censorship of the press but the unffcial cenforship by a press which exists not so much to express opinion as to manufacture it.

(ii) The Earth:
All that the Johnson had was the earth-very often it seemed as if it were all they had ever had.
It was true that they also had possessions-a plough, a two-wheeled cart, tools, a bony brown mare which slowly dragged the plough and the cart about their rough four- acre plot-but without the earth these things were useless. It was ture that they also had a son.

It was more than thirty years since the Johansons, realising that he was not quite like others, had taken Benjy to a doctor. This doctor had persuaded them that he needed interests that would stregthen his mind. It would be good if they gave him something to do, some occupation, which would help his development. It would help a great deal if they gave him a special interest to feed him sense of responsibility, you are people on the land, the doctor said, let him keep hens.

So for many years Benjy had kept hens, and what the earth was to him mother and father the hens were to Benjy they were almost all he had. When he came from school, cut off by his simplicity form other children, Benjy went straight home to his hens, which He kept in a wire coop that his father had made at the back of the house. At first he kept Ten or a dozen hens, all colours and breeds, brown and specked and black and white, and the coop was small. He fed the hens simply, on scraps from the table, seeded cabbages strung from the write, a -little maize, and on corn-ears which be gleand in the late summer from his father a ocre of stuble.

It is possible that a hen, being a simple creature thrives best on simple treatment. Benjy understood the First as last thi ng about a hen. That it exists for nor had it become highly complicated and commercialilized. Eggs were cheap, hens mysteriously pecked Nourishment off the bore earth. They sat in a home made Nesting-box, on straw, and Laid the eggs expected of then.

(iii) Indian Through A traveller’s Eye:
India had always been part of the background of my life, but I had never seen it whole and for myself until new. Yet the stories that our Indian family doctor and his wife told me when I was child had woven themselves into my growing dreams, and I had long read everything that I could find about that country-from my father I had learned of it through Budhhisam and the life history of the Lord Buddha. What did I go to India to see? Not the Taj Mahal, although I did see it and by moonlight, not Fatehpur Sikri, although I did see it, and not the glories of emprie in New Delhi, although I did see them. I want to India to see and listen to two groups of people, the young intellectuals in
the cities and the peasants in the villages.

These I met in little rooms in the city, in littile houses in the villages, and I heard their plans for freedom. Already the interllectuals believed that another world war was inevitable. They had been bitterly disappointed after the first world war by what they felt were the broken promises of England. The English, they declared, had no real purpose to restore India to the people. I could believe it fresh as I was from China. Where the period of people’s Tutelage seemed endless and self government further off every year.

‘When you are ready for independece, conquerors have always said to their subjects, etcetera ! But who is to decide when that moment comes and how can people learn to govern themselves except by doing it? So the intellectuals in india were Restless and embittered, and I sat though hours watching their plashing dark eyes and.

As an example, while both Spanish and English have equivalent status in the local courts of Puerto Rico, under federal law, English is the official language for any matters being referred to the United States district court for the territory.

The use of English in the United States is a result of English and British colonization of the Americas. The first wave of English-speaking settlers arrived in North America during the 17th century, followed by further migrations in the 18th and 19the centuries. Since then, American English has developed into new dialects, in some cases under the influence of West African and native American languages. German, Dutch, Irish, Spanish, and other languages of successive waves of immigrants to the United States.

(d) Write a note on the dialects of Middle English.
Answer:
The dialectal position of Middle English is basically a continuation of that of Old English. The most important extralinguistic fact for the development of the Middle English dialects is that the capital of the country was moved from Winchester (in the Old English period) to London by-William the Conqueror in his attempt to diminish the political influence of the native English.

NORTHERN This dialect is the continuation of the North umbrian variant of Old English. Note that by Middle English ti mes English had spread to (Lowland) Scotland and indeed led to a certain literary tradition developing there at the end of the Middle English period which has been continued up to the present time (with certain breaks, admittedly). Characteristice. Velar stops are retained (i.e. not palatalised) as can be seen in word pairs like rigg/ridge; kirk/church.

KENTISH This is the most direct continuation of an Old English dialect and has more or less the same geographical distribution. Characteristics. The two most notable features of Kentish are (1) the existence of / e:/ for Middle English /i:/ and (2) socalled “initial softening” which caused fricatives in word-initial position to be pronounced voiced as in vat, vane and vixen (female fox).

SOUTHERN West Saxon is the forerunner of this dialect of Middle English. Note that the area covered in the Middle English period is greater than in the Old English period as inroads were made into Celtic-speaking Cornwall. This area becomes linguistically uninteresting in the Middle English period. It shares some features of both Kentish and West Midland dialects.

WEST MIDLAND This is the most conservative of the dialect areas in the Middle English period and is fairly well-documented in literary works. It is the western half pf the Old English dialect area Mercia.

EAST MIDLAND This is the dialect out of which the later standard developed. To be precise the standard arose out of the London dialect of the late Middle English period. Note that the London dialect naturally developed into what is called Cockney today while the standard became less and less characteristic of a certain area and finally (after the 19th century) became the sociologist which is termed Received Pronunciation.
Characteristics. In general those of the late embryonic Middle English standard.

(E) Write a note on the Future of English
Answer:
Many people think that the teaching of English is playing havoc with our native regional languages. Even the protagonists of Hindi, our national language, are deadly opposed to it. They think that English is a foreign language and an average Indian can neither understand it. nor express himself in it. Moreover much energy of a child is bei ng wasted in the learning of English. So English should altogether be abolished from this land. Quite opposed to this camp are the phil-Anglians. They believe that English has been in use in India for the last about two centuries. As such, English is no longer a foreign language. Innumerbable words of English are being used in our language of daily use. Particularly in the South, the people prefer English to Hindi.

No doubt, English is a international language. Most of the research work in science and technology in the world is being done through the medium of English. English is the window for westen knowledge to India. A very poor country as India is, it is very difficult to translate all the latest knowledge into national and regional languages. Even if an effort is made in this respect, till the knowledge concerned is translated, the theroy has since changed meanwhile, That is why even countries like China and japan have started giving more attention to the study of English to get the latest knowledge.

It is also argued that our freedom fighters like M.K. Gandhi, JPL. Nehru, Cochlea etc. were greatly influenced by western political thought on freedom through a study of English philosophers, thinkers ans poets. English is said to be a great link between different Indian languages and a strong bond for national integration.

Question 2.
Show in about 75 words that you have read and understand anyone of the following

(a) If
(b) Everyone Sang
(c) Echo
Answer:
(a) If : The poet tells us to be firm in our stand we should give concession to the ideas of other people who was doubt our activities and idoligies. It is his view that when others are defeated and they think responsible for their. Defeat we should come a fig for them. If son e body doubts our integrity we should go on with our honest work. If we can wait and one not tired of waiting we should not speak a lie. If we are being hated by other we should not hate others in nature we should not be self rightous if we can talk wisely and intelligently.

We should of course, dream but we should be the master our dream. If we have capacity to think, we should not make ourthoghts our aim. They should not be treated equally. If we have capacity to think, we should not make our thoghts our aim. They should not be treated equally. If we have strength to the tolerate the trouble disterted by Scomdrels to troable otheres folle. We must cultivats it, we must watch each and every activity in life.

(b) Everyone Sang : “Every one Sang” is a lyric composed by S. Sassoon a great war poet of Twentieth Century. The poet was engaged in war activities so he had witnessed the horror of war. In November 1918 the Germans were defeated and asked for armistice. When the news of armistice came it was a day of great joy and happiness. This poem is an expression of joy for freedom. The war was fought for freedom and the defeat of Germany was sure so the poet is over-joyed that the mission for fighting a war was to be fulfilled, Secondly the soldiers who were away form their Kith and Kin were to set free and now they would be able to see their relatives. So the news of armistice brought a great pleasure to them.

The poet compares a soldier to a bird which gets freedom from its cage. As a bird is set free from its cage, it goes on flying in the open sky. I files till it is out of sight in the vast blue sky. Likewise the soldier is set free from the barracks and frenches and he is over-joyed to hear that the war is over. He starts singing a song which symbolises his joy for freedom.

In the second stanza the poet comes from ‘Delight’ to ‘Beauty’ the horror of war vanishes and every where it is beautiful. The poet thinks of the beauty coming from “The setting sun and he almost cries out of joy” “My heart was shaken with tears”. The delight and the beauty which emerge from the clouds of war are more deelper and permanent than the joys of birds which get freedom from their cages. The soldiers are filled with intense joy and they can not giver expression to their joys in words. It is a permanent joy because the armistice would bring a permanent peace on the world. Though the feelings of joy were expressed on the day of armistice but we can also take the poem in a general way expressing the feelings of day and freedom

(c) Echo : ‘Echo’ deals with a very simple human experience, that is, how does any sound echo. The speaker stood in a forest and said who called ? No sooner it was spoken than the sound returned, ‘who called ? who called.’ Actually the speaker’s sound travelled through the clear open spaces in the forest. The sound ‘who called’ rang in the atmosphere. The birds were puzzled they could not locate the source of the sound. The speaker was no less baffled as to how his words were echoed back, what was the object . which returned his sound ?

The speaker stood in the open space of a thick forest. He imagines as if is sound went upto the leaves of the farthest branches of the trees. Those leaves seemed to pass it on to the sun. Beneath the trees the air was dark. When he said, ‘who called ?’ loudly, the leaves made hissing sound, the dark air carried his cry to the region not known to he speaker.

In the third stanza of the poem the poet imagines as if there were some mysterious creatures behind the rees who were looking at him but he was not able to spot them out. Perhaps his call was returned by those mysterious creatures.. His simple ‘who called ?’ was mockingly returned to him in the form of ‘who called’, was called.

The speaker perhaps did not like this mocking tone, he reacted sharply and cried in his loud shrill voice ‘who cares ?’ The wind slowed down. Once again his voice was reflected back and who cares, Who cares ? rang throughout the forest. The speaker heard his own weeping tone.

Question 3.
Answer in about 75 words anyone of the following (5)

a. Discuss the autobiographical not in novels or Dikens.
Answer:
Dickens’s novels contain a great deal of autobiography, David Copperfield contains a large amount of autobiography. His early knowledge of low life of London supplied material for Oliver Twist, his school days for Nicholas Nickleby, his visit to the Marshalsea, where his father was imprisoned, for Little Porrit, his life in a law office for treatment of legal matters in Bleak House and other novels.

Dickens has thrown light on the society of his days, with the impact of the Industrial Revolution, when children were employed in factories, where most of the schools were inefficient and selfishly motivated like Mr. Creakle’s school, and even law fell into hands of selfish people. Being written in the first person, the novels of Dickens excite the reader’s sympathy for the hero easily than it would have done otherwise.

b. Give a character sketch of either Mr. Micawber or Dora.
Answer:
Mr. Micawber – Mr. Micawber is one of the most memorable characters in the novel. He is as immortal as Falstaff or Don Quixote. According to a critic Wilkins, Micawber is “the supreme example of Dickens’s power to make us sympathize with a character whom we might well avoid in real life.” He is a delightful, rather humorous appearance. At his first meeting, David describes Mr. Micawber as stoutish middle-aged person, in a brown shirt and black tights and shoes, with no more hair upon his head (which was a large one and shining) than there is upon an egg; and with a very extensive face, which he turned full upon me.

His clothes were shabby but he had an imposing shirt-collar on. He carried a showy sort of stick with a large pair of silk tassels to it, and a large eye-glass hung outside his coat for the sake of ornaments.”

According to Mr. G.K. Chesterton, “Mr. Micawber is a man who cannot be made to understand the tyranny of time or the limit of human hope and further, “Micawber ‘‘interrupts practical life but what is practical life that it should venture to interrupt Micawber ?” It cannot be too much repeated that the whole lesson of Dickens is here. It is better to know Micawber than not to know the inner worries that arise out of knowing Micawber. It is better to have bad debt and a good friend.”

According to Compton-Rickett, “Mr. Micawber is another type of the attractive mercurial temperament, ready to look on the bright side of things at the smallest provocation. Apart from this, the needy, improvement man would have served the stem moralists purposes almost as well as Swiveller. But really we are scarcely conscious of his faults, so delighted are we by his company. This it may be said, is due to the author making unfair use of his gift of humour and idealising the man out of all human probability. That he idealises may be admitted.”

c. What is the role of miss Jane Murdstone in David Copperfield ?
Answer:
She is an unworthy sister of an unworthy brother. She is Mr. Murdstone’s sister and is like her brother in so many respects. She is cruel like her brother. She is a gloomy looking lady, dark like her brother whom she greatly resembles in face and voice. She has heavy eyebrows, nearly meeting over her large nose, as if being disabled by the wrongs of her sex from wearing whiskers.

She has carried them to the extent. She moves into blunderstone soon after Mr. Murstone marries Cara Copperfield and brings with her two uncompromising, hard, black boxes, bearing her initials on the lid in hard brass nails. She is in David’s phrase ‘a metallic lady’ made upon lead-heart, She is awesome and dreadful. She is suspicious character.

She cannot believe people easily. She is also suspicious of servants, suspicious of Mrs. Copperfield and suspicious of David. Though Miss Jane Murdstone visits Church regularly yet she is most unchristian. She has no Christian virtues with her. She is neither full of charity nor full of mercy. David rightly describes her and her brother’s influence on him as the fascination of two snakes on a wretched bird. The death of Mrs. Copperfield may be asciribed to her tyranny.

It is she who dismiss Peggotty and sends David to work under miserable conditions at Murdstone and Grinby’s at the early age of ten. She is thus a she-devil. She cunningly turns Mr. Murdstone against David by giving false reports about David. She tries to cast her evil spell on David’s life once again when he falls in love with Dora and finds that Miss Murdstone is her constant companion though Dora does not like her.

Question 4.
Write a paragraph in about 75 words on anyone of the following

(a) A stitch in time saves nine
(b) Importance of Education
(c) Knowledge is Power
(d) Water Pollution
(e) Wonders of Science
Answer:
(a) A stitch in time saves nine : A stitch in time saves nine : Someone has very aptly and wisely said that a stitch in time saves nine. It contains an invaluable piece of sane advice, which we constantly hear from our teachers in school and elders at home. This highly useful, didactic dictate applies to every field of activity. It implies that work done in time saves a lot of labour, later on.

To illustrate it further, it can be said that suppose there is a tear in your shirt, the wisest thing is to stitch it up without any delay, otherwise there will be tears all the way down, which would require a lot more labor and time to put a patch on it. And the final effect too would not be as tidy as it would have been, if it had been stitched during the initial stage. Again the same principle applies as regards your lessons.

If one does not study through the year and hopes to pass examinations only by studying at the last moment,much more effort and time will have to be put in at the eleventh hour and still the retention would not be as effective as it would have been, if the work was done regularly through the year. Yet again, a delayed action quite often causes serious misunderstanding and even loss of friendship, where replying to letters is concerned. Certainly, letter-writing is not everyone’s cup of tea, but certain tasks have to be done and it is the best if they are done without losing any time.

For instance, if one postpones replying to a friend’s or a relative’s letter, the other person might feel humiliated, thinking that one does hot care for him or her enough. It would require one to make excuses and apologize again and again to pacify the person concerned. Is it not then better to reply to a letter in time, rather than come out with false excuses at the last moment ?Taking the right action a an opportunity time is even more important where friendship is concerned.

A wrong action committed knowingly or unknowingly, should be apologized for immediately. The more an apology is delayed, the more distant will a friend become and one may even lose the friendship forever. And this happens when one delays making timely amends.

(b) Importance of Education : Education is very important toll for everyone to succeed in life and get something different. It helps a lot in lessening the challenges of life difficult life. Knowledge . gained throughout the education period enables each and every individual confident about their life. It opens various doors to the opportunities of achieving better prospects in life so promotes career growth. Many awareness programmed has been run by the government in enhance the value of education in rural areas. It brings feeling of equality among all people in the society and promotes growth and development of the country.

Education plays a paramount role in the modern technological world. Now-a-days, there are many ways to enhance the education level. The whole criteria of education have been changed now. We can study through the distance leaning programmers after the 12th standard together with the job. Education is not so costly, anyone one with less money may study continuously. We can get admission in the big and popular universities with fewer fees through the distance learning. Other small training institutes are providing education to enhance the skill level in particular field.

(c) Knowledge is Power ; Knowledge is power is the famous proverb which means knowledge is very powerful and has ability to win over all other physical power in the world. Once a person gets power of knowledge, he/she do not need to fear from other power. Knowledge plays great role in all aspects of the life by know the easy and effective ways to solve the circumstances. Knowledge is a very powerful factor which helps us to easily get name, fame, success, power and position in the life.

We can say that money and physical strength are also important tools of power; Money and physical strength cannot buy or steal the knowledge; it can only be achieved by the continuous practice, devotion, and patience.

Knowledge helps us to convert our planning into the right action and enables to get the difference between right or wrong and good or bad. It helps us to overcome our weaknesses and faults as well as makes us able to face the dangers and difficulties by giving lots of courage and confidence. It makes a person more powerful by giving him mental, moral and spiritual advancement in the life

(d) Water Pollution : The level of fresh drinking water is becoming less day by day on the earth. There is a limited availability of drinking water on the earth however the too is getting polluted because of human activities. It is tough to estimate the possibility of life on the earth in the absence of fresh drinking water.

Water pollution is the mixing of foreign substances by means of organic, inorganic, biological and radiological in the water degrading the quality and usefulness of water.

Hazardous pollutants may contain various types of impurities including harmful chemicals, dissolved gases, suspended matters, dissolved minerals, and even microbes. All the contaminants reduce the level of dissolved oxygen in the water and affecting the lives of animals and human beings to a great extent. Dissolved oxygen in the oxygen present in water required by the aquatic system to continue the lives of plants and animals, however biochemical oxygen is the demanded oxygen by the aerobic micro-organisms to oxidize organic matters of wastes.

Water pollution is caused by two means, one is natural water pollution (due to the leaching of rocks, decay of organic matters, decay of dead matters, silting, soi erosion, etc) and another one is man¬made water pollution (due to the deforestation, set up of industries near large water bodies, high level emission of industrial wastes, domestic sewae, synthetic chemicals, radio-active wastes, fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides etc),

(e) Wonders of Science : New ways of preserving and flavoring the food items are being invented through research in meals technology. A vast variety of plastic and different artificial supplies have been created which have hundreds of uses in the home and in industry.

Antibiotics and vaccinations defend us from infectious illnesses and health problems. Nowadays there are slight or no possibilities of an infant getting disease because births now happen in hospitals under the supervision of specialized staff. Science has invented vaccines for infants to defend them from prospective life illnesses.

Sanitary condition has improved a lot than before. Drainage system has been modernized. Filtered & mineral water is available to overcome diseases and other illness caused due to water pollution. Means of transport has also undergone a giant enhancement and change.

Superstitions have been discarded and attitude has been changed towards everything. ‘ People now no more consider that diseases are caused by evil spirits. People have become open-minded and cosmopolitan due to the research in the field of science and technology, as a result, Scientist always tries to search out new issues, explorations, discoveries, and inventions.

The role of science is important in our everyday life. The various contributions of science have made our existence more relaxed and comfortable. The magnificent inventions of science like electricity, fans, air-conditioners, television, mobile phones, motor vehicles, etc. have eased our life, and now it is almost impossible to live without using them.
