(M SHANmughalingam)
Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow
HEIR CONDITIONING
Grand dad did you breathe
Before air cons were inventedWas it hard staying
alive without modern inventions?
Grandma werent you flustered
As you fluttered with paper fans?
Could you communicate before
Faxes and long distance calls
Became basic necessities?
Grandchild we lived
Before your age. Because
of our ignorance,
we did not know pollution, stress, traffic jams
destruction of forests, streams and
hills
we feared God and nature
now nature fears you

A Fighters Lines
(Marzuki Ali)
Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow
A Fighters Lines
I am old and worn
and have lost all my strength
sufferingsand the history of the fight for independence
have forced sacrifices
that know no name
of life
from the wheelchair of the rest of my days
I, body and energy crushed
see and cannot do much
these times are too big a challenge
for the remnants of my crippled years
the net of deceit spread everywhere
disturbs me.
In the name of justice
Wake up and form ranks sons of our ancestors
Be brave
And erect a wall of people
Stand up heirs of our freedom
I have no more voice
It is you now who should speak!

As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is doneIn everybodys house!
Theres no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
By Mr. Nobody.
This he who always tears out books,
Who leaves the door ajar,
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar;
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For prithee, dont you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
By Mr. Nobody.
The finger marks upon the door
By none of us are made;
We never leave the blinds unclosed,
To let the curtains fade.
The ink we never spill; the boots
That lying round you see
Are not our boots,they all belongTo Mr. Nobody.

I Wonder
I wonder why the grass is green,
And why the wind is never seen?
Who taught the birds to build a nest,
And told the trees to take a rest?
O, when the moon is not quite round,
Where can the missingbit be found?
Who lights the stars,when they blow out,
And makes the lighting flash about?
Who paints the rainbow in the sky,
And hangs the fluffy clouds so high?
Why is it now ,do you suppose,

No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like stars at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this is if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.

THE RIVER
( Valerie Bloom)
Read the poem carefully and answer the questions that follow
THE RIVER
The rivers a wanderer,
a nomad, a tramp.
He doesn't choose any one placeto set up his camp.
The rivers a winder,
through valley and hill.
He twists and he turns,
he just cannot be still.
The rivers a hoarder
and he buries down deep
Those little treasures
that he wants to keep.
The rivers a baby,
he gurgles and hums
And sounds like
hes happily sucking his thumbs.
The rivers a singer,
as he dances along
The countryside echoes
the notes of his song.
The rivers a monster,
hungry and vexed
Hes gobbled up trees
and hell swallow you next.

Literature Component
-in not less than 50 words
-in continuous writing (not in note form)
Suggested Answer: (SEP/LEP)
Based on The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit, the character that I admire is Peter. Peter
is only 10 years old but he has many positive qualities. We see these qualities in what he says and
does.
Peter is a clever and quick to stop the 11.29 train from crashing into a landslide. He cuts his
sisters red petticoat into six pieces. Then he and his sisters make six flags with them and some
sticks. They wave the flags and stop the train. They save the train and its passenger.
Peter is also observant and confident that many people in the village will give Perks
presents because he is nice to everybody. He plans to give Perks, the porter at the station, a nice
birthday. He has a clever idea to collect presents from the villagers for perks. The children collectthe presents and give them to Perks. Because of Peters kindness and clever idea, Perks has the
best birthday presents in his life. He is very happy.
I admire Peter because he is alert and brave too. For example, during a paper chase, Jim, the
old gentlemans grandson does not come out of the tunnel for a long time. Peter says Jim is in
danger and goes into the dark and dangerous tunnel to look for him with his sisters.
Peter is also like a scout. He has things like a candle, penknife and matches with him. They
are useful in the tunnel. The children find Jim beside the railway line. He has broken his leg.
Bobbie cuts his boots with the penknife. Then, Peter and Phyllis get some farm workers to carry
Jim to their house.
One more reason I admire Peter is because he is brave to steal coal to keep the family warm.
When the Station Master catches Peter, he tells him that his sisters do not know anything about
the coal to save them. He is mature and protective. He does not want them to get into trouble. He
wants to be responsible for his action himself.
I admire Peter because he has many positive qualities.

Based on the novel that you have read ,write about the moral values:
a) honesty
Give evidence from the novel to support your answer .
Your response should be:
in not less than 50 words
in continuous writing (not in note form)
Suggested answer : (SEP/LEP)
The novel that I have chosen is The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit. It is about 3 children
who have to face difficulties after their father has been accused of being a spy and was imprisoned
by the government.
One of the moral values that I would like to write is about honesty. They know that their
mother is sad after their father is imprisoned and falls sick. Their mother still holds her dignity ofnot asking any helps from strangers even though they havent got enough food and facilities in
their house.
Without telling their mother, the children inform an old gentleman who is always travelling
in a train. The old gentleman helps them by providing food and provision to their family. Then, the
children admit to their mother about writing to the old gentleman despite knowing that she would
be upset about it. They give a reason to their mother that they are only asking for help but not
stealing.
This shows that they are very honest although they feel that is not easy to tell their Mother.

Based on the novel that you have read, write about the lesson that you learnt. Give evidence fromthe novel to support your answer .Your response should be not less than 50 words.
Answer: (HEP/SEP)
The novel that I have chosen is The Railway Children by Edith Nesbitt The lesson that I have
learnt is that we should always have the courage to speak the truth .This can clearly be seen
through the deeds of the children.
Despite getting into many unsavoury situations the children have always been ready to admittheir mistakes. This is evident when the children are caught stealing coal. Since they are too poor
have a fire in June, the children have to steal some coal from the station yard . Unfortunately,
they are caught by the Station Master. When questioned , Philip reveals that it is his idea to
steal the coal .
Not wanting Peter to be blamed for stealing , the two sisters, Bobbie and Phyllis step forward to
admit that they too have conspired with him . The sisters tell the Station Master that they do know
where the coal comes from but they pretend not to know . This incident eventually allows them to
get to know the friendly railway workers .
Another incident where the children have taken up the courage to reveal the truth was when they
finally admit to their Mother that they have sought the help of the Old Gentleman .When their
Mother is taken ill, the Doctor has ordered them to acquire several things for her. Since they are
unable to get those things, they have asked helped of the Old Gentleman.
In the nutshell, the lesson I learnt is to always tell the truth. This is important because telling the
truth will make people trust you.

In novel The Railway Children, an event which I think is sad is when Roberta, Peter, Phyllis
and their mother has to leave their house in London and stay in a little white house near a railway

This is because their life has an awful change when they move to the country. They arehappy before,in London. Roberta, Phyllis and their mother become poor and have to stay in a house
which has no facilities. The children also have to steal the coal at the station yard because the coal
is expensive and they cant afford it. This is very sad.

The novel that I have chosen is The Railway Children by Edith Nesbitt . The place that
I like most in the story is the railway station . There are many interesting things there.
Besides the shining railway lines ,telegraph wires and signals , seeing trains that use coal
for their engines are really interesting .It is also fascinating to see the railway line leading towards
the dark opening of the tunnel . This is because when the railway lines begin to shake ,a train will
come screaming out of the tunnel. According to Bobbie, when the train has gone, it is like a great
wild animal going by! Just like Bobbie, Peter and Pyhllis, I like this place as it is their place of
hope. They believe that this is a magic train and it can send their love to their father.
In a nutshell, I wish I can be there with them to experience all the adventures around the
railway station.

Based on The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit, one important incident is when Peter
steals coal at the railway station.
In this story, at first Mother and the three children live with Father in London comfortably.
Later, Father is falsely accused and imprisoned for five years for being a spy. The children do not
know about this. They have to cope with sudden poverty and their missing father.
Mother and the children go and live in a small white house in the country beside the
railway. Peter steals coal from the station yard. Then he hides it between some stones and his
sisters help him to carry it home. This incident is important in this story.
One day, the Station Master catches Peter stealing the coal and calls him a thief. Peter tells
the Station Master that he is not stealing. He says that he thought no one would mind as he took
only a little coal. He also says that they are poor.
This incident is important because it shows us that the children are poor and desperate. Coal
is expensive and their mother does not allow them to light a fire in June. But they are cold, so they
steal it. Poverty can drive a person to steal although it is wrong.
This incident shows us the qualities of some characters too. The children try to protect each
other. Peter tells the Station Master that his sister do not know anything about the coal to protect
them. He is mature and wants to be responsible for his action.
The Station Master too, understands that they are children and poverty drives them to steal.
In the end, he warns them and lets them go.
This incident is also important because the children learn that it is wrong to steal. The
Station Master tells them that it is wrong to steal although they are poor.
For all these reasons, the trouble with coal is an important incident in this novel.
