Q1.
1. Have you seen a swing? Where have you seen it? What was it made of?
Answer
This question is about your own life, so your true answer is the right one. Nobody can write it for you.
How to answer — three sentences:
- Say yes or no, and where you saw the swing.
- Say what the swing was made of — ropes, iron chains, wood, plastic, an old tyre.
- Say one thing about it — who was on it, or how it felt.
Children see swings in many places: a park, a school playground, a village banyan or mango tree, a temple fair, a courtyard at home, or a baby’s cloth cradle.
Sample answer: Yes, I have seen a swing. There is one in the park near my house. Its seat is a flat wooden plank and it hangs from two iron chains. My little sister sits on it and I push her gently.
Another sample answer: In my grandmother’s village there is a swing on the mango tree. It is made of thick coir rope and an old tyre. In the month of Sawan, everyone takes a turn on it.
Why the book asks about the material: A swing must hold your whole weight. So it is always made of something strong — rope, chain, wood or iron. Looking at how a thing is made teaches you to look carefully.
