Yuvakbharati English 12th Digest Chapter 3.1 Summary Writing Additional Important Questions and Answers
Question (i) Cut redundant words: Write five examples of redundant words: Answer:
Going Places summary will help you get a better understanding of the story written by A.R. Barton. It revolves around fantasies and daydreams. The story tells us about the teenage period where people are often found dreaming which is far from reality. This period is all about desires and achieving the impossible. In addition, teens usually have a hero they look up to or adore in this age. However, the main background of the story is indeed a reality. It tells us about a girl, Sophie, who belongs to a lower-middle-class family. She dreams of owning the best boutique in the whole town. However, she lacks money and means. Sophie looks up to a young football player, Danny Casey. She dreams about him so much, she believes she has actually met him. Finally, these fantasies are what cause her disappointment.
The story begins by telling the reader about a teenage girl, Sophie. Being a normal teenager, she has also got many fantasies and dreams. Sophie belongs to a lower-middle-class family that struggles with finances. However, she dreams to own a boutique one day. Further, she also dreams of becoming an actress of a fashion designer. Similarly, Jansie, her friend, is more practical and level-headed. She knows that they do not have a strong financial background, thus they have to work in a biscuit factory. Jansie does not have any unachievable fantasies. She tries her best to help Sophie stay in touch with reality, but all that goes in vain as Sophie does not listen.
Sophie has got two brothers and lives with her parents in a small house. She does not shy away from expressing her desires and fantasies. However, her parents do not pay much heed to it as they are far more mature than her. They are already facing the harsh realities of life, thus, they do not believe in her fantasies. Sophie’s elder brother is Geoff who is tall, strong, and handsome and remains reserved. She is sort of fascinated by her elder brother. It is so because his silence makes her jealous and wonders what he keeps thinking about.
Further, we learn that Sophie is always fantasizing about a young Irish football player, Danny Casey. She has seen him play in a number of matches and thus starts liking him. As she is always living in her fantasy world, she makes up stories about him. In one made-up story, she tells her elder brother, Geoff, that they met one day in the streets. Being more sensible, Geoff does not believe her story. He feels it is highly unlikely that she just met such a sensation in the streets just like that.
However, as Sophie is so good at immersing herself in fantasy land, she starts describing life-like details. Thus, upon hearing these details, even Geoff wishes that what she was saying turns out to be true. She even goes on to say that they will meet again as Danny has promised her. Thus, Sophie immerses herself so much in the make-believe story that she starts thinking of it as true. She keeps waiting for Danny to arrives, but alas he does not. Thus, on the way back, she is thinking about how Danny’s not turning up will disappoint Geoff. Nonetheless, she still keeps fantasizing about him and believes they will definitely meet.
To sum up, Going Places summary, we learn about the naïve fantasies of teenagers and how reality may hit us harder as the world in full of compromises and costs a lot of dreams.
Which class are you in.
Contrary to what is mentioned here that “the author is a poet who joins the studio to become an actor, screenwriter, director or lyricist”, it is the office boy of the make-up department who “wasn’t exactly a ‘boy’; he was in his early forties, having entered the studios years ago in the hope of becoming a star actor or a top screen writer, director or lyrics writer. He was a bit of a poet.”
This factual mistake on your part will misguide the students and discourage us, the teachers to either follow your site or to recommend it to our students. In fact, we may become bound to directly stop our students from following it.
Similarly, it is wrongfully mentioned here that “The author thinks that Subbu is the one who troubles him. As Subbu is a Brahmin, the author thinks he has an upper hand.” The fact is that it’s the office boy of the make-up department and not the author who thinks so.
Kindly take proper care before posting anything. Otherwise, it will adversely affect the student-community that too of a Board class like Class-XII.
Bahar me jao bas bakwas band karo samjhe

Class 12 english chapter 1 , 'an astrologer's day' explanation, introduction:.
In this blog, I am going to summarize unit 1.1 'An Astrologer's Day''. It is a thriller suspense short story written by R.K. Narayan. As the title suggests, the story deals with a single day in the life of an astrologer. 'How had he become an astrologer?' and 'how his past affected his present?' 'what is the significance of that day which is mention here?' Let's understand.
About the author : , r. k narayan.
R. K. Narayan was an Indian English writer, f f his realistic novels. he has written 14 novels, 5 volumes of short stories, and several travelogues. 'My Days' is his famous memoir where he has created imaginary town 'Malgudi'. His other book 'The Guide' has won the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1961.
Irony of fate Religion and blind faith, crime and punishment, human greed Karma
The Astrologer started his day like any other day. He sat under the tamarind tree, spread all his equipment like Cowrie shell, a square piece of cloth which had an obscure mystic chart, a notebook, and a bundle of a palmyra writing. His forehead was decorated with sacred ash & vermilion, a saffron-colored turban was rolled around his head and had dark whiskers. His appearance enhances the power of his eyes & helpful to attract his clients.
It was a crowded marketplace with varied trades and occupations. we can experience the struggle of the people to be successful in their business or profession. Here the astrologer is not the only person who is cheating the people but others also, for example, a vendor of fried groundnut who called his wares a fancy name each day. Now it was dark enough but the marketplace did not have sufficient lighting. Some people have their lights but one or two like astrologers had to manage without lights of their own.
Then writer tells us about the astrologer's past life. The astrologer didn't want to be an astrologer. It is his fate that made him an astrologer. In the past, he had to left his village without any previous thought or plan. So he settled in this village and became an astrologer for his subsistence. He was successful in pleased and astonished people though he didn't have any knowledge about astrology. Even he was unable to pretend about his own life. How? It's just because he studied the human mind, his many year's practices, some tricks, and obviously guesswork.
At the end of the day when the astrologer started to bundled up, he saw a man. Assuming he was a client he started chatting with him. The man expressed doubt on the astrologer's knowledge. the astrologer took it as a challenge and started to predict. He said all the similar things that he said to others. But the man catches his trick and stopped him. Then he gave an offer to the astrologer and they made a deal that if the astrologer's answer satisfied the man then the man has to give him eight annas otherwise the astrologer has to give him all his collection of that day.
In the end, when the astrologer reached home and was talking with his wife, the secret of the story is revealed that the person whom the man was searching is not anyone but the astrologer himself. this is the event for that he was run away from home and became an astrologer.
Finally, we can say that is a fine example of Indian society where people are so superstitious. I hope you have understood the topic. If you have any questions please comment below. I will try to answer. In the next blog, we will see activities based on it. So stay tuned.
Post a comment.
Very nice story

Where can i find pdf of class 12 english notes, benefits of class 12 english textbook solution, how to get good marks in class 12 english exam.
English is a tough subject for many students. The main problem I see with students is they don't like thinking hard or writing their own answers. They just want to copy things, so who will help develop their creativity?
The best tip I can give is don't stress too much about grammar mistakes. Focus on answering questions right instead of writing perfectly. Bad spelling and lack of creativity holds students back in English, along with grammar errors.
Don't let feeling uncomfortable stop you from expressing yourself and your thoughts freely. Keep writing down what you learned. Then, you can work on improving your language and grammar skills. First learn to write, then make it easy to understand. Writing well actually takes practice.

Write the short summary of the above extract with a suitable title with the help of the given points/hints
My son starts school today. It is all going to be strange and new to him for a while and I wish you would treat him gently. It is an adventure that might take him across continents. All the adventures probably include wars, tragedy, and sorrow. To live this life will require faith, love, and courage. So, dear teachers, will you please take him by his hand and teach him things he will have to know but gently, if you can. Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend. He will have to know that all men are not just, that all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every crooked politician, there is a dictated leader. Teach him if you can that 10 cents earned are of far more value than $1 found. In school, teach him it is far more honorable to fall than to cheat. Teach him to learn how to gracefully lose, and enjoy winning when he does win. Teach him if you can the wonders of books, but also give time to ponder the extreme mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong. Try to give my son strength not to follow the crowd where everyone else is doing it. Teach him to listen to everyone, but teach him also to filter all that he hears on a screen of truth and take only good that comes through. Teach him to sell his talent and brain to the highest bidder but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul. Let him have the courage to be impatient, let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will always have sublime faith in mankind, in God. This is the order, teachers but see what the best you can do. He is a nice little boy and my son. (Abraham Lincoln’s letter to his son’s teacher) |
Write a summary of the above extract in short with the help of the given clues and suggest a suitable title.
Abraham Lincoln’s letter to the teacher – adventures – humanity – honesty – child tackle ups and down in life – book reading – not to follow crowd – message – conclusion.
This is a letter written by Abraham Lincoln to his son’s teacher and it is full of optimism and values he believed in. The letter has universal appeal. It shows Lincoln’s passion and zeal for learning. The purpose of education as stated by Lincoln elsewhere is to inculcate honor and character among the children. Extract says education is a potential tool for building up the all-around personality of the student, transferring him into a successful human being and an excellent global citizen. The letter has a far-reaching impact on the whole gamut of education. It answers a number of challenges, encountered by policymakers of education today. |
(Need of information Technology – need of digital skills – development – economy – various sectors – banking sector – insurance sector – service rendering to people.)
In the coming years, requirements for rapid changes in the skills of a large number of people in periods of say three to five years many become a continuous feature when newer technologies are introduced into the economy. Such rapid changes will cover all sectors. underlining how the agriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors are intertwined. In the agriculture sector there will be better optimization of input resources like seeds, soil conditioning, fertilizer micronutrient mixes, and pesticides, and so on, as well as changes in the overall agriculture management. The agriculture sector may also use remote sensing through satellites for regular monitoring of crops and soil conditions or water resources, or for better weather forecasts through satellites and ground-borne system. Or in the use of modern communication to be in closer touch with old or new markets. Water quality may be monitored more carefully in the future theater for human or animal consumption. Rapid improvements in advanced sensors would make it possible to have such a sensing system at affordable prices in many of our sectors. In the industry and manufacturing sector, of course, the uses of sensors, and modern electronics, and information technology will be a continual feature requiring rapid reorientation of the skills of not only the workforce but also the entire management including the board level operations. Installation of IT system for all these sectors, training persons at all level and maintaining and improving their skills would be a major service industry. Despite voluminous growth in the banking and insurance sector, processing and transactions have been carried out by largely manual means. A national network of banking and insurance business has to emerge. This lack adversely affected efficiency and is a major cause of the high rates charged for financial services. The introduction of IT for various operations at the earliest has become a necessity. This means the use of computers for near-total electronics data management and the use of telecommunications and multimedia data, adopting a total system approach. |
The above extract about the future imagination that information technology and digital skills are very much needed in the development of an individual as well as the economy of the country. The sectors like the agriculture industry could make use f sensors and modern electronics and information technology for its development. The banking and insurance sector also need to use IT for various operations to send service to the public. |
(Youth contribution today…….ignited minds……science empower the nation………students question…….dignitaries reaction.)
Dear friends, I realize how the contribution of youth in the past has continuously contributed to the world of today in many fields. I would like to assert that no youth today need to fear about the future. Why? The ignited mind of youth is the most powerful resource on the earth, user the earth, and above the earth. Dear young friends I would like to talk to you on the topic ‘I am born with wings.’ Last year I went to a village t inaugurate a program called Sasthrayaan, which means ‘the propagation of science’. The mission of Sasthrayaan was to ensure the preparation of about two thousand students from different schools, towards making them eligible to an engineer, scientists, doctors, qualified managers, and civil servants. This action would be, in turn, empower about two thousand families of the village. My inaugural address to a mixed audience, consisting of five thousand students and family members was on the topics, ‘Science Empower the Nation.’ After my address, hundreds of hands were raised for asking questions. Due to the limited availability of time, I selected twelve students at random, from the last row to the first, to ask questions. I would like to share with you one question of great concern which was asked by a student. The question was from a teenager who had come from a faraway village. He was nervous and a typical representative of the youth of India. The boy began speaking, “Sir, I don’t know what I should ask. I am nervous. I have not asked any question in my class. I need to have confidence, but I have not gained any confidence through my education during all these years. I am afraid to talk to my teachers. I am afraid to talk to my friend. Whenever I talk, I compare myself with other students and their elegant dress. Please tell me. I want to become a marine engineer. I want to travel on a ship. I want to be the captain of the ship. I want to build the engine of the ship. shall be able to do all these, sir? How can I achieve this mission? What should I do? When the boy completed the question the entire audience and the dignitaries on the dais including the Chief Minister, were looking at me wondering what Kalam was going to say to a sincere question of a young village boy.’ |
The above extract is a speech delivered by former president DR. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam at the inauguration program called Sasthrayan’. The meaning of Sasthrayan is ‘propagation of science’. Kalam sir feels, ignited mind of youth is the most powerful resource on the earth. Two thousand students were present for the program which was going o empower these two thousand families. Many students wanted to ask him questions after the speech but due to lack of time, he selected 12 students to ask the questions. A question asked by a student who was nervous and had no confidence despite education made Kalam sir feel concerned. He wanted to be a marine engineer. Everybody was waiting in wonder for Kalam sir’s answer. |
(Increasing environment pollution……..pollution result of……contamination of the things……….survival problem…….need to control……..including humans all in dangers……population growth)
It is true that progress in knowledge has led to the development of science and technology, which has, in turn, profoundly altered our environment. For example, fertilizers and insecticides have increased agriculture output, which is required to feed the swelling population of the world. However, both give rise to population. Each one in the modern modern world has accumulated in our bodies a few milligrams of D.D.T., which is organ-chlorine, a type of insecticide. The D.D.T. level in fish is rising and already some fish eating the bird and becoming sterile. Fertilizers used in the farmlands are washed away by rain into rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. The heavy intake content in fertilizers leads to wild growth of vegetation in them, which in turn de-oxygenizes the waters and, as a result, all the fish is lost. Massive industrialization too has led to serious pollution of the environment. Millions of tons of smoke, sulfur gas, ash, and unknown quantities of toxic by-products are sent up every day all over the world and we simply do not know if our chemical involvement is slowly poisoning us all. What is even worse, the increase in carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere from burning oil and coal may, in time, prevent the escape of the sun’s heat from the earth. Leading to the rise in the earth’s temperature, the melting of ice-caps, and arise in the level of the ocean. The sea has become a cheap dumping ground for all kinds of waste products. Although the sea has a great capacity to break down all kinds of waste, this capacity is not unlimited, especially in shallow seas. Industrial effluent gets washed out to sea, for industries tend to concentrate in coastal areas in order to be able to dispose of unwanted waste cheaply. Atomic wastes, as well as poison gases, are dumped in the sea by industrial and military authorities. It would be foolish to shut our eyes to the danger of pollution that human beings cause. It is true that more and more people have become aware of the dangers of pollution. Rivers are being gradually resorted to the health; international organizations are trying to keep the seas clean. Industries are being asked to pay large sums to meet the cost of disposing of effluents. Campaigns are being organized against cutting down trees. Public opinion is gradually being aroused to concern, and if all of us become concerned about our environment, we shall be able to keep the Earth habitable for the future generations |
The given extract expresses fear about the survival of future generations in the context of increasing environmental pollution. This extract enumerates various types of pollution resulting from the advancement of technology. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and even the food we eat today are contaminated. The survival of all living creatures will be in danger if steps are not taken to control the pollution of air, water, and food. The writer stresses that it is not only human beings who are at risk but also the creature living in water and on the earth. All living organisms are affected by pollution and are in grave danger. The growth of population in the world is one of the reasons for pollution. |
(Bollah’s family background – his blindness – adversities – industrialist – help to the other differently-abled people – his lessons of life)
When he was born everyone ‘advised’ his parents to get rid of the kid as he was blind. But his parents, who were not affluent by any counts, choose to take care of him, that too, to the best of their abilities and gave him an education.

Original Passage: We call beautiful anything that gives us pleasure and that depends on things outside of us. Perhaps most people think the sea is beautiful only when it is blue. If one has been in Italy as a child and has grown up beside the grey North Sea, he will think that grey seas are ugly: and nothing can be so beautiful as the blue Mediterranean.
But suppose a Scotsman who loves Scotland should go to Italy. He might find the blue sea too uninteresting after a while. When he goes home and sees the grey sea again, he will see the sea as beautiful. We are made in different ways, and grey can be as beautiful as blue, just as a baby’s cry can be sweeter to someone’s ears than the best notes of the greatest singer of all time. Nothing is beautiful or ugly in itself, but thinking makes it so. (172 words)
Summary: Nothing in this world is beautiful or ugly. Things look beautiful or ugly according to our own idea of beauty. The same thing may look different to people raised in different environments. Generally, most people consider beautiful a thing that gives pleasure. But it depends on our perspective. (56 words)
Original Passage: Humans first appeared on earth a million and a half years ago. He was little more than an animal then. Still, early humans had some advantages over animals. He had a large brain, an erect body with fast-moving hands. He invented a language to communicate with his colleagues.

These special advantages put humans far ahead of all other living creatures. Since that distant time, when he first made his appearance, man has achieved a lot. (110 words)

Original Passage: Charity is a universal duty, which is in every man’s power to be sometimes exercised since every assistance given to another from a right motive is an act of charity; and is seldom in such infirmity that he cannot benefit his neighbour in any case. He who cannot relieve the poor can instruct the ignorant, and he who cannot minister to the sick can restore the wicked.
He who can give little help himself may undertake the duty of alms by inciting the greed of others and recommending petitions that he cannot grant, to those who have more power to give. The widow who puts her mite into her treasury and the poor man who brings a cup of cold water to the thirsty will not lose their reward. (143 words)
Summary: Charity, a universal duty, must be practiced by all, and can be practiced easily by each according to his ability. Besides money, any help in word or deed, such as nursing, teaching or reforming the wicked, is charity. Failure to do something personally can affect others. (47 words)

Original Passage: Religion seems to me to be based primarily and mainly on fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and the desire to feel that you have a kind of big brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and conflicts. Fear is the basis of the whole thing – fear of the mysterious, fear of failure, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty and therefore, it is not surprising that cruelty and religion go together.
For fear in this world is the foundation of these two things, that we now understand certain things, and can master them with the help of science, which has forced its way step by step against Christianity: against the churches, and against all the opposition of the old doctrines.
Science can help us overcome this terrible fear that mankind has lived in for generations. Science can no longer teach us to look for allies in the sky but to look below at our own efforts to make this earth a habitable place. (186 words)
Summary: Religion is based on fear, fear of the unknown, fear of failure, and fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and science can help us overcome this fear by teaching us to look for allies in the sky and look below at our own efforts to make the earth a habitable place. (54 words)
Original Passage: Mankind in general is not sufficiently acquainted with the import of the word justice. It is generally considered to include the performance of duties that society’s laws may mandate. This, I allow, is sometimes the import of the word, and in this sense, justice is distinguished from equity. But justice is still broader and unites all the virtues that can be shown. Justice may be defined as a virtue that urges us to give to every person what is his due.
In this extended sense of the word, it refers to the practice of every virtue that determines reason or should be expected of society. Our duty to our Creator, to each other and to ourselves is fully answered if we give them what we owe them. Thus, properly speaking, justice is the only virtue in which all the rest have their root. (150 words)
Summary: Justice, generally understood, means the fulfillment of duties sanctioned by society and in this sense, it differs from equity. But justice in a broader sense refers to the virtue of giving everyone what they deserve. It includes one’s duty to God and society and all other virtues. (47 words)
