Q1.
B. Talk about any one community game or match organised in your village/locality/colony. Have you participated in it?
Answer

This is about your own place, so only you can give the true answer. Here is how to build a good talk of five or six sentences.

What your talk must have:

  1. The name of the game or match.
  2. When it is held — a festival, a holiday, Independence Day, Sports Day.
  3. Who plays and who watches.
  4. Where it is played — the ground, the park, the street.
  5. Whether you took part, and what you did.
  6. How it made you feel.

You may choose any one of these: kabaddi, kho-kho, Lagori or Satoliya, gilli danda, a cricket match, a tug-of-war, a running race, a kite-flying day or a village fair game.

Sample answer: Every year on Independence Day our colony holds a kho-kho match. The children of our lane play against the children of the next lane. It is played on the small park near the temple, and all the parents come to watch. Last year I played for our lane and I was the chaser. We lost by one point, but everybody clapped for both teams. It was the happiest day of my holidays.
Why the book asks this: The Lagori match “had brought the villagers together”. A community game does the same thing in your own place. Talking about it lets you see that your village or colony has its own Sundarpur Tigers.
Tip: If no match is held near your home, say so honestly and describe a game you and your friends have organised yourselves.
