A child, whose habits have been disciplined and who has been taught to rise early, attend to his lessons properly, take physical exercise at the proper time and avoid bad companions, will turn out to be a useful member of society.

Q.1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below: (1×10 = 10 Marks)
Education is not just a process of giving knowledge for a future job but a lifelong process which creates an understanding of moral and ethical values to guide one’s life and make our students the future hope of the country. A good education system must ensure that the students become good human beings and successful citizens. It should not only focus on academic brilliance but also on character building. The true goal of education is to equip the students with the capability to analyze, think critically and find solutions to the problems of life. It should make them independent and confident.
In modern times, there is a mad rush for marks. Students are under tremendous pressure to score high percentages. This has led to rote learning and lack of creativity.

Forests are the wealth of a nation. They provide us with timber, fuel, and fodder. They are the natural habitat of wild animals and birds. Forests help in causing rain and preventing soil erosion. They maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, due to the increasing population and industrialization, forests are being cut down indiscriminately. This deforestation has led to many environmental problems like global warming, floods, and droughts. We must realize the importance of forests and take steps to conserve them. 'Vanamahotsava' is a movement launched to plant more trees.

To,
The Editor,
The Dainik Bhaskar,

Subject: Bad condition of roads in Nehru Nagar.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities towards the miserable condition of roads in Nehru Nagar, Barwani. The roads are full of potholes. During the rainy season, these potholes fill with water and become death traps. Accidents have become a daily occurrence.
I hope the authorities will wake up and take necessary action to repair the roads at the earliest.
Yours truly,
Ravi Verma
Resident, Nehru Nagar

Q.5. Attempt any one of the following long compositions in about 120 words: (4 Marks)
(A) Write an article on 'Health is Wealth'.
OR
(B) Write a report on the 'Annual Function' of your school.
OR
(C) Prepare a speech on 'Save Water'.
Health is Wealth
The famous proverb "Health is Wealth" means that health is the most valuable asset a person can possess. A healthy person can work hard and achieve success, whereas a sick person becomes a burden on others. Money can buy medicines but not health. Therefore, maintaining good health should be our priority.
To stay healthy, one must follow a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get adequate sleep. We should avoid junk food and bad habits like smoking and drinking. Mental health is equally important; meditation and yoga help in reducing stress.
In conclusion, a healthy body houses a healthy mind. If we lose wealth, we lose nothing; if we lose health, we lose something; but if we lose character, we lose everything. So, let us pledge to keep ourselves fit and healthy.
Annual Function at Sandipani Vidyalaya
(By: Cultural Secretary)
Barwani, 10th January 2026: The Annual Function of Sandipani Vidyalaya was celebrated yesterday with great pomp and show. The school building was decorated with lights and flowers. The District Collector was the Chief Guest of the function.

The Chief Guest gave away prizes to the meritorious students in academics and sports. In his speech, he praised the performance of the students and the efforts of the teachers. The function ended with the National Anthem.
Save Water, Save Life
Respected Principal, teachers, and my dear friends. Today, I want to speak on the topic 'Save Water'. Water is the most precious gift of nature. Life on earth is impossible without water. It is used for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and agriculture.
However, water is becoming scarce due to overpopulation, pollution, and wastage. Many parts of the world are facing acute water shortage. If we do not save water now, our future generations will suffer. We must adopt methods like rainwater harvesting and stop wasting water in our daily activities.
Let us take a pledge today to use water wisely. Remember, "Every drop counts." Saving water is saving life. Thank you.

SECTION A: READING SKILLS (14 Marks)
Q.1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below: (1×10 = 10 Marks)
Computers are capable of doing extremely complicated work in all branches of learning. They can solve the most complex mathematical problems or put a thousand unrelated data in order. These machines can be put to varied uses. For instance, they can provide information on the best way to prevent traffic accidents. They work accurately and at high speed. They save research workers years of hard work. This whole process, by which machines can be used to work for us, has been called 'automation'. In future, automation may enable human beings to enjoy more leisure than they do today. The coming of automation is bound to have important social consequences.
Some years ago, an expert on automation, Sir Leon Bagrit, pointed out that it was a mistake to believe that these machines could think. There is no possibility that human beings will be controlled by machines. Though computers are capable of learning from their mistakes and improving their performance, they need detailed instructions from human beings to operate. They can never lead independent lives or rule the world by making decisions of their own.

(a) They can think(b) They can rule the world(c) They work accurately and at high speed(d) They lead independent lives

Q.2. Read the following passage carefully and make notes on it also give a suitable title to it. (4 Marks)
The heart is one of the most vital components of the human body. The human heart has the continuous job to keep oxygen-rich blood flowing through the body. All the body's cells need a constant supply of oxygen, particularly in the brain. The brain cells live only four to five minutes after the oxygen is cut off and death comes to the entire body. Heart disease can result from damage to the heart muscles, the valves or the pacemaker. If the muscle is damaged, the heart is unable to pump properly. If the valves are damaged, blood cannot flow normally. Dr. Christian Barnard performed the first human heart transplant in 1967.
Title: The Human Heart
Notes:

Man and Mobile: A Necessity or Addiction?
In the 21st century, the mobile phone has become an integral part of human life. It is no longer just a device for making calls; it is a mini-computer in our pockets. It helps us stay connected, access information, navigate maps, and entertain ourselves. During the pandemic, mobiles played a crucial role in online education and work-from-home.
However, excessive use of mobile phones has its downsides. People, especially the youth, are becoming addicted to social media and gaming. It affects their eyesight, posture, and mental health. Face-to-face social interaction is decreasing as everyone is busy looking at their screens. Cybercrimes are also on the rise.
In conclusion, the mobile phone is a wonderful invention if used wisely. We should master technology, not let it master us. We must set limits on our screen time and use mobiles for productive purposes rather than just entertainment.
A Horrible Road Accident
(By: Amit Kumar)
Indore, 12th March 2026: A terrible road accident took place yesterday evening near the busy Rajwada crossing. I was returning from school when I heard a deafening crash. A speeding car tried to overtake a bus and collided head-on with a truck coming from the opposite direction.
The impact was so severe that the front part of the car was completely crushed. A huge crowd gathered at the spot immediately. People tried to help the passengers trapped inside the car. The police arrived within ten minutes and an ambulance was called. Two persons died on the spot, and three others were critically injured.
The injured were rushed to the M.Y. Hospital. The driver of the truck fled the scene. This accident is a grim reminder of the dangers of rash driving. It left everyone in a state of shock and sorrow.
Importance of English
Respected teachers and dear friends. Today, I am going to speak on the 'Importance of English'. English is a global language. It is spoken and understood in almost every part of the world. In India, it serves as a link language connecting people of different states.
English is the language of science, technology, and the internet. Most of the higher education in medicine, engineering, and computers is imparted in English. Knowing English opens up better job opportunities not only in India but also abroad. It helps us access global knowledge and culture.
However, learning English does not mean neglecting our mother tongue. We should love our mother tongue but also learn English to progress in the modern world. It is a window to the world.
