READING

I. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
The culture of nuclear families is in fashion. Parents are often heard complaining about the difficulties in bringing
up children these days. Too much of freedom in demand, too much independence; overnight parties; excessive
extravagance, splurging pocket money; no time for studies and family all this is a common cry of such families.
Aren‘t parents, themselves, responsible for this pitiful state? The basic need of a growing youth is the family, love,
attention, and bonding along with moral values.
One should not forget that ‗charity begins at home‘. Independence and individuality both need to be respected, in
order to maintain the sanctity of family. Children, today are to be handled with tact in order to bridge the ever-
widening generation gap. Only the reasonable demands need to be fulfilled, as there are too many expenses to be
met and top many social obligations to be taken care of by the parents. Our forefathers lived happily in joint
families. Children loved to live with their cousins, learned to adjust within means. They had perfect harmony
between the generations. There never existed the concept of old-age homes. There was a deep respect for the family
elders and love, care, and concern for the youngsters. Even the minor family differences were solved amicably.

II. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: (8)

The art of academic writing is not easy to master. It is a formal skill, which requires precision and
accuracy, and is perfected by continuous and dedicated practice. Academic writing is the skilful exposition and
explanation of an argument, which the writer has carefully researched and developed over a sustained period of

1
time. It is a time-consuming activity and demands patience and perseverance. But the joy of reading and sharing
with others, one‘s succinctly composed piece of argument, is incomparable.

Before beginning to write, the writer must ask himself a few questions – Why am I writing? What is it
that I intend to share with others? What purpose will my writing serve? Have I read enough about the topic or
theme about which I am going to write? If one is hesitant to answer even one of the above mentioned questions,
one better not write at all! Because academic writing is a serious activity – it makes one part of a shared
community of readers and writers who wish to disseminate and learn from well-argued pieces of writing.
The structure of an argumentative essay should take the form of – Introduction (which should be around
ten percent of the entire essay), Body (it should constitute eighty percent of the piece) and the Conclusion
(again, ten per cent of the essay). The introduction should function as the hook which draws the reader in and
holds his attention, the body should include cogent and coherently linked paragraphs and the conclusion should
re-state the argument and offer a substantial ending to the piece.

i. Answer the following questions. (2x2= 4)

1. Why is reading an important part of writing?

2. Why should one ask oneself the questions mentioned in the second passage?
