ENGLISH
Dear students,
Vacations are going to start. Enjoy the vacations along with a little bit of work, it will be a fun and
shall help you to learn more through practice as practice makes man prefect.
1. Words with similar sounds and same spellings and words with similar sounds and different
spellings form Homophones and Homonyms. It is interesting to note down such words and use
them in poems of your own. Prepare a Mini Book by writing 30 homophones and homonyms.
2. Many a times we forget the gifts given by God to us and try to misuse them against those who
are disabled in one way or the other. We should not forget that we all are God’s children and if
we are disabled we are all the more special as God provides the disabled with instincts which
helps them to rise in life. Helen Keller was one of them. Write the summary of the first five
chapters of the novel ‘Helen Keller’ in a file. Prepare a Chart depicting all the important incidents
in Keller’s life which helped her to write books.
3. Newspapers bring you the news from all over the world at your doorstep. Reading the
newspaper makes you aware of the various incidents and facts all over the world. Read the
newspaper and cut and paste important headlines in a scrapbook at least 20.
4. Education is important for man because if man has to live on this earth he should try to be aware
of the incidents and events happening around him. Make a poster depicting the importance of
education in the development and progress of a nation.
