Q. No. 32-36: Read the following passage with focus on the underlined parts. Answer them as directed.

The motivation to succeed comes from the burning desire to achieve a purpose. Napoleon Hill wrote, "Whatever the mind of man can (32) conceive and believe the mind can achieve."

A young man asked Socrates the secret to (33) success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was (34) strength and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of (35) wind. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, "Air." Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret”.

A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishments. Just like a small fire cannot give much (36) hot, a weak desire cannot produce great results.

Vocabulary

I. Look at these words from the story:

1. newly-wed wife 2.bus stop 3.forehead

They are all compound words. A compound word is a union of two or more words to convey a specific idea or special meaning that is not as clearly or quickly conveyed by separated words. As shown above, compound words may be hyphenated, written open (as separate words), or written solid (closed). The use of compounding in English is an evolving process. As expressions become more popular or adopt special meanings, they follow a gradual evolution from two or more separate or hyphenated words to single words.

audio visual audio-visual audiovisual

copy editor copy-editor copyeditor

wild life wild-life wildlife

The words in the first, second and third columns are called 'open compounds', 'hyphenated compounds' and 'closed compounds' respectively. In this unit we focus on hyphenated compounds.

A hyphenated compound is a combination of words joined by a hyphen or hyphens. Here, the hyphen aids understanding and readability and ensures correct pronunciation. Words are hyphenated mainly to express the idea of a unit and to avoid ambiguity.

Exercise 1

Write 5 compound words in each category.

Open Compounds

Hyphenated Compounds

Closed Compounds

Grammar

I. In this story the author used the past perfect (had + past participle) in many sentences. If you observe the following sentences from the story and the rules given under them, you will understand why and how the past perfect is used.

1. It was 10.20 ....... My father had already left. (para 6)

When an action takes place before a point of time in the past, the action is expressed in the past perfect tense. (Sometimes the point of time can be understood from the earlier sentences and other contextual clues.)

2. Finally we reached Dirang. The bus from Tawang had not yet reached Dirang.(para 11)

When two actions in the past are clearly separated by time, the earlier action is expressed in the past perfect tense.

3. I quickly sat down on a rock. My father laughed at my plight. (para 7)

When two actions in the past happen simultaneously, both of them are expressed in the past tense.

4. a) Sunitha never saw a bear before she was transferred to Maredumilli. (not from the story)

b) Shindhu closed the doors because she heard loud noises from outside.

c) I never met him after I left India.

Normally, when the time relation is unambiguous, (by the use of before, after, because,etc.), the simple past (past perfect is optional) is used to refer to both past actions.

ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION

2022-07-13T12:19:00.010+05:30

PRONUNCIATION

Unless we know the correct pronunciation of the word we cannot communicate the meaning it conveys. While learning a foreign language, we need to concentrate on the pronunciation of the words of that language. When you know the correct pronunciation of the words you will grow confident and become a good communicator. The sounds of the English language are not similar to those in our native tongues. So we need some extra attention to pay to learn them. It is through practice that we will have command over the pronunciation of words in the English language.

Telugu version

(పదం యొక్క సరైన ఉచ్చారణ మనకు తెలియకపోతే, అది తెలియజేసే అర్థాన్ని మనం కమ్యూనికేట్ చేయలేము. విదేశీ భాష నేర్చుకునేటప్పుడు, ఆ భాషలోని పదాల ఉచ్చారణపై దృష్టి పెట్టాలి. పదాల సరైన ఉచ్చారణ మీకు తెలిసినప్పుడు మీరు ఆత్మవిశ్వాసాన్ని పెంచుకుంటారు మరియు మంచి సంభాషణకర్త అవుతారు. ఇంగ్లీషు భాషలోని శబ్దాలు మన మాతృభాషల మాదిరిగా ఉండవు. కాబట్టి వాటిని నేర్చుకునేందుకు మనం కొంత అదనపు శ్రద్ధ వహించాలి. అభ్యాసం ద్వారానే ఆంగ్ల భాషలో పదాల ఉచ్చారణపై మనకు నియంత్రణ ఉంటుంది.)

Lesson 1

Lesson 2

Try the following tests to master the pronunciation:

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

Bayaji's new house had caught fire from all sides. It had suddenly flared up. The womenfolk in the front verandah screamed in confusion. The guests stood up swiftly and began to pull out the women like a herd of cattle.

Bayaji was frantic. He ran around crying, 'My house, my storeyed house! It's on fire. My enemy has taken revenge on me.' He entered the roaring flames, crying 'My House, my house.' He climbed up, pulled the pictures of Buddha and Babasaheb from the walls and hurled them down. As he was about to come down the stairs, it crumbled down in flames. People pulled up water from a nearby well to put out the dreadful fire but it could not be easily contained. 'Bayaji, jump down, quick, jump,' people shouted. Women and children were crying and screaming. Now that the staircase had collapsed, no one could go up. Scorched in the flames, Bayaji ran around like a trapped creature, howling all the time, 'My

house, my house!' And then the upper storey itself came down with a crash and along with it Bayaji, with a resounding thud. People pulled him out.

Bayaji was burnt all over. He was still wailing, ‘My house’, ‘my house’! Bayaji's children encircled him and cried their hearts out. The guests were busy putting out the fire. All Bayaji's hopes had been reduced to ashes. What was the use of putting out the fire now?

ii. Marks will not be given for over writing or rewriting.

13. Read the following poem

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence;

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —

I took the one less travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.

-ROBERT FROST
