Answer

An Interesting Cricket Match

Once I got a chance to witness a cricket match on our college ground last year. Our college played a cricket match against the team of another college of our city. The weather was fine. The spectators were sitting all around on the benches and chairs. Both the teams came on the playground on time. Two umpires also came there. The match began at the right time. The captains of both the teams came forward and shook hands. Then there was a toss. Our captain won the toss and decided to bat. The other team took to fielding. Our captain and Ramesh came as the opening batsmen.

Our captain hit several boundaries. After two hours first, our captain was caught behind the wicket. He scored eighty runs. Then Suresh came in to play but he went out very soon. Our whole team was out at two hundred and sixty runs. Then the other team started bating. Suresh and Sohan were our bowlers. They bowled very well. In the first over the players of the other team made ten runs and we became nervous. The opening batsmen scored hundred and twenty runs. But soon, a batsman was declared L.B.W. by the umpire.

After this the captain came out to bat. He was a very good batsman. He batted carefully and hit several boundaries. He was out after adding eighty runs to the score. But after this all the batsmen were soon bowled one by one. The whole team was out at the score of two hundred and forty runs. In this way our college team won the match by twenty runs only. There was a great rejoicing and clapping. Each team gave three cheers to the other.

Question 25 Marks

Write a descriptive paragraph in about 100 to 120 words on the notion, “Do you think a robot should replace the human teacher?”

Answer

Should Robot replace the human teacher?

There is no doubt that robots are much more efficient than teachers ever can be. But human teachers make learning fun, and they can be caring and understanding. The biggest advantage of computer teachers is that the computer teachers have better memory than the human teacher has, as a computer can memorise anything. In my opinion, computers should not replace teachers. UNESCO claims, that today’s robots simply can’t match human teachers in the quality of education they provide to students. Hence, it is possible that no robot will ever be good enough to replace teachers completely. While robots can teach students skills or reinforce difficult concepts for struggling students, it can’t replace a human teacher.

Students need emotional support along with academic support from the teacher which only a human teacher can provide. Human teachers have feelings like the students and thus are capable of sharing experiences with the students, whereas mechanical teachers cannot do that. Only human teachers can develop skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, problem solving and entrepreneurship in their pupils to stay relevant in a changing society. Education is not just about the acquisition of knowledge; it is about relationships and the shaping young minds.

A good teacher does not just impart facts; but creates a thirst for knowledge, inspires and motivates his students to learn how to quench that thirst. Teachers also encourage the students to think for themselves and to innovate new solutions, something that Artificial Intelligence cannot do.

Question 35 Marks

Write a descriptive paragraph in about 100 to 120 words on the notion: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

Answer

Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

As MIT Physics Professor Max Tegmar says, “Intelligence is the crux of the problem.” Our intelligence is the reason, we have more power than any other animal on the planet. There is no doubt that artificial intelligence will bring astoundingly positive things with it. But at the same time, there are always two sides of a coin. Having said that, one cannot argue over the fact that there are certain events in which utilisation of a robot can actually turn out to be much more efficient when compared to a human being. However, it is imperative to state that it is the human finesse that controls, operates, and direct the use of such a technology.

In every kind of industry that makes an extensive use of artificial intelligence, human input, human interaction, and human judgment can still not be replaced by the capabilities of an artificially intelligent machine. Also, Robots like Sophia, though has capabilities much more than a human being but surely it lacks emotions. It is the high emotional quotient that human beings have saved the earth from turning into a battle of beast. Compassion, love, sympathy, kindness – all are characteristics of a human being, not any humanoid robot. Thus, even though robots are future of the world but future of mankind is nonetheless are humans.

Answer

This summer, we planned a vacation in Singapore. My father’s cousin lives there. They had been calling us since long. It was a planned vacation so tickets were booked in advance. The responsibility was given to mom as she searched for the best deals through various internet sites. We spend many nights planning and finalising the itinerary and finally a time table was approved by all just a week before. Our flight was in the morning at 9 a.m. so we proceeded at 6 a.m. in the morning to reach the airport by 7 a.m. At the airport we clicked few photographs, posted them on our social media platforms and enjoyed the likes. The flight was on time and we boarded our plane and travelled through the Indian Ocean to reach Singapore in about six hours. Uncle and aunt both were there at the airport to receive us. We saw amazing skyscrapers and beautiful Singapore landscapes on our way to uncle’s home. It was late evening and we all were tired due to jet lag. We had our dinner and slept off early.

Our itchy feet woke us up very early and we all sat down with our coffee cups to plan the day ahead of us. We thought of going for scuba diving. The diving spot was at the far south horn of the bay where there were huge steep rock faces and underwater caves. Half an hour later, while I was swimming around 50 metres from the shore, a calamity struck. As I was swimming next to a lone rock, suddenly a huge wave came and crashed on me, taking me by surprise. It completely rolled my body around and I totally lost my sense of direction. I was short of breath and I was squirming around, splashing and trying to find where the air was. I swam up fast, penetrated the surface, on the home stretch, I took a breath of air, and then, afraid of the next wave coming, looked around. Then like any port in a storm, my coach came looking for me with all sorts of help. This huge wave was like a stopover for me. We all came back as I had severe headache and dizziness. We continued with our plan for next few days and then finally we departed from Singapore to be back with memories forever.

Question 55 Marks

Write a brief description on – A Day of Election’. Give a brief account of celebrations in about 100-120 words.

Answer

Our country is a democratic country and elections are life and soul of a democratic system. In India, elections are held after every five years. Last year, election was to be held to elect a new M.L.A. The candidates of the different political parties were in the fray. The parties were canvassing in favour of their candidates. A day before the polling day, all the canvassing was stopped. At some distance from the polling station, the parties pitched their tents. They had lists of the voters of their respective areas. The voters were going to the tents of the parties of their choice. The workers were helping them in finding out their serial numbers and gave them slips to assist them in voting.

The voters stood in long queues. There were separate queues for male and female voters. Each voter showed the slip to the polling officer, who compared it to the serial number of the list and then put a mark with indelible ink on his forefinger and sent him to the EVM (Electronic Voting Machine). The voter had to press the button. A beep sound from the machine was the signal that the vote had been successfully cast. This process continued up to 5 o’clock. Then the polling officers sealed the EVMs and other relevant records. The police van came and collected the EVMs to take them to the collectorate for counting. It was a unique day in my life.
