STD 6 ENGLISH SEM 1 UNIT -1 'WHERE WERE YOU' ACTIVITY QUIZ
A paragraph is a number of sentences grouped together and relating to one topic, or a group of related sentences that develop a single point.
A Car Accident
It is the mad craze for speed that is responsible for many motor accidents. Only last year I witnessed what might have been a fatal accident on the Kashmir road. I was motoring down from Srinagar, and as I was nearing Kohala. I came upon the wreckage of two cars on the road. The smash had been caused, by a car coming down, which swept round a sharp corner at forty miles an hour and crashed into a car coming up. Happily no one was killed; but several were badly injured, and the two cars were wrecked. To drive at such a speed down a twisting mountain road is simply to court disaster.
Republic Day
India became a Sovereign Republic on 26th January 1950. On this day our new Constitution prepared by Constitution Committee was introduced. On this day, the government was formed by the people of India according to the new Constitution. This day reminds us of the past and the dark period of the Britishers when we were not free. Many freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the freedom of India. The efforts of the patriots forced the British rulers to quit India for ever. We celebrate this day in a special manner. The President of India takes the salute of the Jawans of Army, Navy and Air Fierce. The Government buildings are illuminated at night.
Diwali Festival
India is called a land of fairs and festivals. Of all these festivals, Diwali is the most important religious festival of the Hindus. It is celebrated all over India with great pomp and show. It generally falls in the end of October or in the beginning of November. It is celebrated in honour of Rama's return to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile. Houses and shops are cleaned and whitewashed for this colourful festival many days in advance. Sweets, toys and fireworks are in great demand. Children enjoy themselves heartily They wear new clothes. There is great feasting. Gifts are exchanged with friends and relatives.
