Paragraph for Toppers

Lesson :  I can't climb trees anymore

Author : Ruskin Bond

Character : Self, Boy and mother

Theme : A possibility becomes an impossibility at times.

       Here is the story of my visit to my ancestral house. We had lived in that house for about twenty years. I went there to see it. It was very old but it looked majestically. I remembered the old saying. Old is Gold. I stood near the well painted old gate, staring at the house. He invited

me into his house. His mother was there. His father had gone on an official tour. My eyes

searched the house. I told his mother about the precious thing that we left when we sold this

house. I took them into a room inside the house. I climbed on a ladder and looked for it in the

upper shelf. It was never opened since we left. In the midst of certain old things I saw it. I was

extremely happy. They were surprised to see it. It wasn't rusty.

It was an air gun my grandfather had been using. He had given it to me. I brought it down

carefully. They were surprised to see my precious treasure. They allowed me to take it home. I left the place saying good bye to the boy and the mother. I walked down the road with my

treasure having myjnys vided with tears of joy.

43. Describe Margie's mechanical leacher and her classroom in your own words.

         Margie had a mechanical teacher . It had a large screen on which all the lessons were shown and questions were asked . It had a slot in which students had to put their homework and test papers. Margie had to write her answers in a punch code and the mechanical teacher calculated the marks  in no time.

Margie school was in her house itself. She did not have any classmates. She learnt geography,

history and arithmetic. She had regular days and hours for school. Her school room was right

next to her bedroom. The mechanical teacher always turned on at the same time every day except Saturday and Sunday because her mother said that little girls learned better when they learned at regular hours.

“Machine is the outcome of human brain".

1. Write a letter to your friend describing your ancestral house.

                                                1 ,  Bharathi street,

                          Bharathi puram ,  Madurai - 20

                                                   29th August 2021.

Dear Babu , 

I am delighted to write to you about my visit to our ancestral house. Last Saturday I had gone

there with my parents. It is an old house built with granite stones. There are lot of trees and

garden plants in the garden. My grandparents still live there. There was an old swing beside the

house. I started swinging for some time. I found some of my toys and dolls. I remembered my

childhood days. I took some of them with me. I wish to spend my vacation there. I realized that

rural life is comfortable than city life. We who live in the towns and cities miss the comforts a

lot. Well, convey my love and regards to your mom and dad.

                                                 Yours lovingly , 

                                                     Tamil raja .
