Q1.
A. Observe how the children are described in the poem, like ‘Active Boy Anant’, ‘Graceful girl Geeta’ etc. Write one quality that starts with the same letter as your name.
Answer

Your answer must be about your own name, so nobody can write it for you. But the rule is easy.

How to do it in three steps:

  1. Write the first letter of your name. For Ravi it is R.
  2. Think of a good quality that begins with that same letter — Ready, Respectful.
  3. Put the quality before your name, just as the poem does: Ready Ravi.

Some qualities you can choose from:

Sample answer: My name is Sita. My quality is Smiling. So I am Smiling Sita.
Another one: My name is Kabir. My quality is Kind. So I am Kind Kabir.
Why the poet does this: When two words begin with the same sound, the line is easy to say and pleasant to hear. That is why “Swift girl Shabana” sounds better than “Fast girl Shabana”.
Try this: Do it for your whole row in class. Write the names one under the other on a chart — Active Anant, Brave Bina, Cheerful Chitra. Your chart will read almost like a poem.
