1.2 On Saying "Please" - Model Activity Sheet

1.2 On Saying "Please"

Model Activity Sheet

Q.1.  Read the following extract and do the activities given below.    12

            The young lift-man in a City office who threw a passenger out of his lift the other morning and was fined for the offence was undoubtedly in the wrong. It was a question of “Please.” The complainant entering the lift, said, “Top.” The lift-man demanded “Top-please,” and this concession being refused he not only declined to comply with the instruction, but hurled the passenger out of the lift. This, of course was carrying a comment on manner too far. Discourtesy is not a legal offence, and it does not excuse assault and battery. If a burglar breaks into my house and I knock him down, the law will acquit me, and if I am physically assaulted, it will permit me to retaliate with reasonable violence. It does this because the burglar and my assailant have broken quite definite commands of the law. But no legal system could attempt to legislate against bad manners, or could sanction the use of violence against something which it does not itself recognize as a legally punishable offence. And our sympathy with the lift- man, we must admit that the law is reasonable. It would never do if we were at liberty to box people’s ears because we did not like their behaviour, or the tone of their voices, or the scowl on their faces. Our fists would never be idle, and the gutters of the city would run with blood all day.

A.1.  True or False :         2

        Rewrite the sentences and state whether they are 

        True or False.

1.  The passenger said "Top-Please" to the lift-man.

2. The young lift-man was fined for throwing the passenger out of the lift.

3. Discourtesy is a legal offence.

4. The law gives permission to retaliate with reasonable violence.

A.2.  Fill in the blanks:    2

        Fill in the blanks and rewrite the sentences.

1.  The young lift-man wanted to hear  -----------------      from the passenger.

2.  Discourtesy does not excuse -------------------------

3. The law will permit to retaliate with reasonable offence, -------------------------

4.  There is not any legal system which could attempt   -----------------------------------------

A.3.  Guess :                  2

        Guess the reasons behind the reaction of the lift-   man.

A.4.  Personal Response: 2

        Write any four words or expressions of common   courtesy that are used in daily life.

A.5.  Do as directed:        2

1.  He not only declined to comply with the instruction, but hurled the passenger out of the lift.    

     (Rewrite the sentence using "as well as")

2.  If I am physically assaulted, it will permit me to   retaliate with reasonable violence.

     (Use "Unless" and rewrite the sentence)

1.1 An Astrologer's Day - Model Activity sheet

                1.1  An Astrologer's Day

              Model Activity Sheet

Q.1.  Read the following extract and complete the activities given  below.   12

            

            Punctually at midday he opened his bag and spread out his professional equipment, which consisted of a dozen cowrie shells, a square piece of cloth with obscure mystic charts on it, a notebook, and a bundle of palmyra writing. His forehead was resplendent with sacred ash and vermilion, and his eyes sparkled with a sharp abnormal gleam which was really an outcome of a continual searching look for customers, but which his simple clients took to be a prophetic light and felt comforted. The power of his eyes was considerably enhanced by their position- placed as they were between the painted forehead and the dark whiskers which streamed down his cheeks : even a half-wit’s eyes would sparkle in such a setting. To crown the effect he wound a saffron-coloured turban around his head. This colour scheme never failed. People were attracted to him as bees are attracted to cosmos or dahlia stalks. He sat under the boughs of a spreading tamarind tree which flanked a path running through the Town Hall Park.  It was a remarkable place in many ways. A surging crowd was always moving up and down this narrow road from morning till night. A variety of trades and occupations was represented all along its way : medicine sellers, sellers of stolen hardware and junk, magicians, and above all, an auctioneer of cheap cloth, who created enough din all day to attract the whole town.
