Question 1.
‘Education is for life, not for livelihood’. Expand the idea. (50 words)
Answer:
Education aims at creating ideal personality in a student. It is expected that the student after completing his education becomes the picture of all that is noble. He knows the value of time. He is helpful and sympathetic towards those who are weak and needy. He never nourishes ill will against others. He is honest and respectful to his seniors. He remains in discipline. He takes care of his health and honour. He does not degrade himself in the estimation of others. He is never a slave to his senses. He is a good debator and organizer. He becomes a moving spirit in society. He accomplishes everything with a humanitarian concern. Being a social animal he shares others’ happiness and woes. In this way education prepares him for life, not only for livelihood.
Question 2.
Suppose you are going to deliver a speech on ’Teacher’s Day’. Prepare a draft of your speech. (150 words)
Answer:
Teacher’s Day Teacher’s day is a national function. It is celebrated on 5th September every year, the day of Dr. Radha- krishnan’s birthday. Dr. Radhakrishnan was an ideal teacher and therefore his birthday is celebrated as Teacher’s Day throughout the country. The main idea is to draw the attention of the society towards this noble profession. Nearly a hundred teachers are honoured with National Award on this day. The awardees are selected on the basis of the personal character, conduct, professional competence and their contribution to society. Only ideal and worthy teachers get it.
Giving award to teachers is a good incentive for them. It is a pity that a teacher is not accorded due respect these days. He is held low7 down in the social scale. One of the most serious causes for the loss of respect for the teacher is his poor salary. Also most of the teachers today fail to involve themselves with students. They do not bother for the future of their students. It is therefore, whenever they (students) obtain poor marks or show poor results, teachers are held responsible. They sometimes suffer from lack of confidence. The selfless teachers who possess character and unbiased love and affection for students enjoy social respect which is its own award.

2. Be wise than other people, if you can; but do not tell them so because men must be taught as if you taught them not. And things unknown must be proposed as things forgot. Ponder.
3. A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. Think and pen your experience.
Answer:
For pondering at individual level.
Things To Do

Therefore, he needed the money.
The Principal asked Wasserkopf why he wanted the fee back. He told the Principal that he didn’t get his money’s worth. He didn’t learn anything. Rather, the education had made nothing but an incompetent ass of him. His old classmate Lederer gave him the idea because he did not know any damn thing. He said, he would complain against the Principal if his request for refund was not granted
The Principal asked Wasserkopf why he thought he couldn’t do anything. Wasserkopf told that he couldn’t keep any job even if he got it. He asked the Principal to give him an examination and tell him what he ought to do. The Principal asked him to wait and called a conference of the teachers. The matter was discussed seriously. The teachers decided to hold the examination and ask him simple questions. They would declare him successful regardless of his answers.
Wasserkopf faced all the teachers one-by-one. He called them by names and gave silly answers. The teachers interpreted his answers positively. He was given excellent in patriarchal manners, gentle manliness, courtesy, physical culture, alertness, perseverance, logic and ambition. Now it was the turn of the Maths teacher.

Refund Summary in Hindi
एक पूर्वकालिक अनपेक्षित छात्र एक स्कूल में आया। वह लगभग अठारह वर्ष पहले वहाँ पढ़ा था। वह अभद्रता से मुख्याध्यापक के दफ्तर में घुस गया। उसने प्रधानाचार्य को अपना नाम वॉसरकॉफ बताया। प्रधानाचार्य ने उससे पूछा कि क्या उसे प्रमाणपत्र चाहिए, वॉसरकॉफ ने नकारात्मक उत्तर दिया। वह चाहता था कि प्रधानाचार्य उसकी वह फीस लौटा दे जो उसने अपनी शिक्षा-प्राप्ति के बदले दी थी। वह निर्धन व्यक्ति था। इसलिए, उसे धन-राशि की आवश्यकता थी।
प्रधानाचार्य ने वॉसरकॉफ से पूछा कि उसे फीस वापिस क्यों चाहिए? उसने प्रधानाचार्य को बताया कि उसे अपनी धन-राशि का उचित लाभ नहीं मिला। उसने कुछ भी नहीं सीखा। बल्कि, शिक्षा ने उसे एक अयोग्य गधा बना दिया। उसके पुराने सहपाठी लैडरर ने उसे यह विचार दिया क्योंकि उसे (वॉसरकॉफ को) कुछ भी नहीं आता था। वह बोला कि शुल्क वापसी की उसकी प्रार्थना अस्वीकार किए जाने पर वह प्रधानाचार्य की शिकायत कर देगा।
प्रधानाचार्य ने वॉसरकॉफ से पूछा कि उसे यह विचार कैसे आया कि वह कुछ नहीं कर सकता था। वॉसरकॉफ ने बताया कि कोई धंधा मिल जाने पर भी वह उसे निभा नहीं पाता था। उसने प्रधानाचार्य से कहा कि उसकी परीक्षा ली जाए और उसे बताया जाए कि उसे क्या करना चाहिए। प्रधानाचार्य ने उसे इंतजार करने के लिए कहा और अध्यापकों की मीटिंग बुलाई। इस मामले पर गम्भीर रूप से विचार किया गया। अध्यापकों ने परीक्षा लेने और आसान प्रश्न पूछने का निर्णय लिया। उसके उत्तरों पर विचार नहीं करते हुए वे उसे सफल घोषित कर देंगे।
वॉसरकॉफ ने क्रम से एक-एक अध्यापक का मुकाबला किया। उसने उन्हें उनके उपनाम (चिढ़ाने वाले नाम) से पुकारा और उन्हें बेतुके उत्तर दिए। अध्यापकों ने उसके उत्तरों पर सकारात्मक टिप्पणी की। उसे पैतृक व्यवहार, भलमनसाहत, शिष्टाचार, शारीरिक फुर्ती, संस्कृति, अध्यवसाय, तर्क, तथा अभिलाषा में उत्कृष्ट दर्शाया गया। फिर, गणित अध्यापक की बारी थी। उनके पहले प्रश्न का उत्तर गलत पाया गया। उन्होंने फीस वापसी के वॉसरकॉफ के दावे को न्यायोचित ठहराया। प्रधानाचार्य, गणित के अध्यापक से रुष्ट हो गए। फिर अध्यापक ने वॉसरकॉफ से कहा कि वापिस ली जाने वाली फीस का हिसाब लगाओ। उसने ठीक (सही) हिसाब लगा दिया। वह 6450 क्राऊन बनी। उसने कठिन प्रश्न का सूक्ष्मतम विस्तार के साथ सही उत्तर दिया था। गणित के अध्यापक ने प्रमाणित किया कि प्रत्याशी (परीक्षार्थी) को गणित में पास किया जाता है। वह वास्तव में गणित में प्रतिभाशाली पाया गया। वॉसरकॉफ ने उसे एक षड्यन्त्रपूर्ण चाल बताया।प्रधानाचार्य ने घोषित किया कि वह प्रत्येक विषय में श्रेष्ठता प्राप्त रूप में पास है और पहले दिए गए प्रमाणपत्र का वह पूर्ण रूप से अधिकारी है। प्रधानाचार्य ने उसे बधाई दी। उसने वॉसरकॉफ को दफा होने के लिए कहा ताकि उसे बाहर नहीं फेंका जाए।
