A-1) True/false:
State whether the following statements are true or false.
(2)
Mrs. Adis came to the cottage of peter crouch.
Peter crouch heard the echo of his own footsteps.
Peter crouch opened the window to enter the cottage.
The atmosphere was dark with silence.
In north-east Sussex a great tongue of land runs into kent. It is a land
of woods- the old hammerwoods of the Sussex iron industry and
among the woods gleam the hammerponds. Owing to the thickness
of the woods, the road that passes Mrs.Adis’s cottage is dark long
before the fields beyond. That night there was no twilight and no
moon, only a few pricks of pricks of fire in the black sky above the
trees. But what the darkness hid the silence revealed. In the absolute
stillness of the night, windless and clear, every sound was distinct,
intensified. The distant bark of a dog at Delmonden sounded close at
hand, and the man who walked on the road could hear the echo of
his own footsteps following him like a knell.
Every now and then he made an effort to go more quietly, but the
roadside was a mass of thorns, and their crackling and rustling were
nearly as loud as the thud of his feet on the road. Besides, they made
him go slowly, and he had no time for that. When he came to Mrs.
Adis cottage he paused a moment. Only a small patch of grass lay
between it and the road, and he looked in at the lighted, uncurtained
window. He could see Mrs. Adisstooping over the fire, taking some
pot or kettle off it. He hesitated and seemed to wonder. He was a
big, heavy, working man, not successful, judging by the poverty of his
appearance. For a moment he made as if he would open the
window, then he changed his mind and went to the door instead.
He did not knock, but walked straight in.
The woman at the fire turned quickly round.
‘What, you, Peter crouch!’ she said. ‘I didn’t hear you knock.’
‘I didn’t knock ma’am. I didn’t were shaking a little.
‘What have you done?’
I shat a man, Mrs.Adis.
‘You?’
‘Yes – I shot him.’
‘You killed him?’
‘I don’t know.’
For a moment there was silence in the small, stuffy kitchen. Then the
kettle boiled over and Mrs a small woman Adis mechanically put it at
the side of the fire. She was a small, thin woman with a brown, hard
face, on which the skin had dried in innumerable small, hair like
wrinkles. She was probably not more than forty-two, but life treats
some women hard in the agricultural districts of Sussex, and
Mrs.Adis life had been than most.

 Washing clothes
According to Husbands

Boring jobs are

Even though more and more women have started taking up full –
time jobs outside the house, they still end up doing nearly all the
housework. In spite of a demanding career, a woman is expected to
be an efficient housewife, but most men still do not make good
house – husband. When it comes to helping with a housework many
men feel totally helpless. When they decided to do a few jobs around
the house, they only pick up the ones they enjoy. Sum times if they
are in the mood, they don’t mind doing a bit of a gardening or
mending a few things, but they refuse to do any boring jobs like
cleaning the house, washing and ironing the clothes, looking after
the children or cooking dinner. Most of these jobs have to be done
immediately and regularly, while households repairs, the job that
men enjoy doing most, can always wait till a more convenient time
or till one feels like doing them. According to survey done recently,
the lady of the house does three quarters of the boring household
chores, even women still see their family role as the matters most.
However, most women tend to use electrical appliances to make up
for male laziness. Makers of household appliances and electrical
gadgets are much delighted of course.

Broadly the means of transport both for purposes of trade and social

air. We are here concerned with transport for trade. Of all forms of
transport road transport has shown the greatest growth in recent
years. Transport by road may be both vehicular and non-vehicular.
Non vehicular transportation includes both animal and man.
Vehicular transport in developing countries includes the ancient
bullock carts as well as the modern automobiles. The introduction of
railways has been vital in the growth of industrialization. They are
useful in carrying heavy bulky goods over long distances. Water
transport in one of the oldest forms of cargo transport. Water
transport includes inland and ocean transport. Inland waterways
include rivers and canals. Ocean or sea transport is very important
for the growth of foreign trade of any country. The greatest
advantage of air transport is that it has reduced the time and
distance barrier to a great extent. However air transport is costliest
means of transport.

Marks 8
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This city now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
 Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendor,
Valley, rock, or hill; Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm, so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seen asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!

 B) Appreciation.
Sitting in a porch way cool,
Sunlight, I see, dying fast,
Twilight hastens on to rule.
Working hours have well-nigh past.
Shadows run across the lands:
But a sowerlingers still,
Old, in rags, he patient stands.
Looking on, I feel a thrill.
Black and high, his silhouette
Dominates the furrows deep!
Now to sow the task is set.
Soon shall come a time to reap.
Marches he along the plain
To and fro, and scatters wide
From his hands the precious grain;
Muse I, as I see him stride.
Darkness deepens. Fade the light.
Now his gestures to mine eyes
Are august; and strange; his height
Seems to touch the starry skies.
