How did Linda gets high marks?...
Dafni: If she had studied; she would have passed.
Stephen: You mean she didn’t pass?....
Dafni: No…no… She studied well and passed.
Stephen: What does she do now?
Dafni: Her sister applied for UPSC exam; so did she…
Stephen: What do you mean so did she?..
Dafni: Like her sister she applied for UPSC exam.
Stephen: Did you see rain yesterday.. oh…
It rained as cats and dogs?.
Dafni; How rain would be as cats and dogs?
Stephen: It means a heavy lash of rain..
Dafni: Thank you..
Stephen: See you.
( h ) Free speaking:
Researcher: Well… India, Pakistan and other countries test
the nuclear and hydrogen bombs competitively.
Shall we talk about the effect of nuclear bombs!...
Students: Ok…
Researcher: Can you talk on ‘If nuclear war happens’….
Dafni: If nuclear war happens; all lives will be burn down by hot rays. Nothing will remain. The mud of rivers, juice of trees, blood of living-things will vapourize. Oil wells, petrol tanks, containers, fat of animals, birds, fat of human beings, trees, gas, chemicals, explosives and the rest of everything will exalt the heat. Smoke will smoke the world. Soft sand of dust will occupy the universe. There will be no water, no air. Nothing will have shape. Everything would be dust. Earth will become weightless. Every virus, bacteria, amoeba would be killed. The fire from everything will unite one flame. That flame will burn the air, earth wind and water. The heat will increase as measureless. The OZONE-layer would be ignited. The sea lives would be killed by the blue-hot rays. The fragmented ocean will be united. The ultra violet rays of sun will boil the sea. Eventually the time will end in a day. There would be no lives or sound or script to describe the effect of nuclear bombs, if nuclear war happens… Thank you…
Researcher: Very good..
Countries conduct the test of hydrogen bombs. It is 1500 times more powerful than nuclear bombs. If everything blasts what will stand at last?..
( i ) Carrying out mini-projects:
Researcher: Can you prepare a mini-project?, say the defects
of smoking or pollution.
Jones: Friends shall we prepare a mini project?...
Rubi: We can do this as a group work. One group to do in
one context; the other in another context. First that we
should analyse the problem and find the solution.
Jeni: Shall we do in the context of polluted river Vallyaru.
Rubi: ei……that is good….
Jones: I think the vegetable wastes, factory wastes, drainage water,
debris, colour factory wastes etc. are pollute the river.
Rubi: Really… Also human wastes, plastic papers, dead
chickens are thrown into the river…
These are polluting the river..
Jeni: How can we stop this pollutions ….
Jones: We can send a letter to the letters to the editor
column in Hindu news daily. And we can send a
petition to the district Collector and Municipal
corporation against those who pollute…
Rubi: River-bed people are affected by diseases very
seriously. Jeni you write the problems and solutions;
and readout it to the class.
(j) Making a newscast:
Researcher: These are the newspaper headlines; you have to
readout these and analyze the events as they happened,
background of the events etc. Write a short article on
looking at the headline; and you have to read your
article to the class.
Kalai: ei… Do you have any idea about this head line?. ‘India’s
dream at Athens’.
Jeni: Oh! The sad return of Indians at Athens.
Kalai: Ok.. it is enough. We can start. I write.
What appears to be the rarest of the rare is the finest of the fine in which many toughest of the tough was got the tough muscle power at Athens. Crores of eyes have expected the gold as Midas touch. The dream has ended in quagmire. The gold looking eyes got a silver for that India paid 100 crore. The highest power runned to reach the extreme, before the visible wisdom it slipped.
