Redrawn from the picture on page 132: flat open land, a village house with washing hung out to dry, a big shady tree, a school and a bank with an ATM, a tractor pulling a trolley and a motorcycle carrying milk cans on the road, a white cow at its feeding trough, a woman churning curd in a pot, a man carrying green fodder, a man resting on a charpai with a glass of lassi, an old cart wheel and a solar panel. The book’s picture also shows children playing, a woman plaiting a girl’s hair, a hand pump, a bicycle and a trolley full of villagers.
The land is flat. Flat land like this is called the plains.
There are no hills or slopes anywhere in the picture.
Large fields lie one beside the other, right up to the sky line.
The fields are green and yellow, so crops are growing well.
Why it matters: the book says the soil of the Amritsar plains is rich and fertile. Flat land is easy to plough and easy to water, so many people there are engaged in farming.
Q2.

People in the picture are busy with many kinds of work and play.
A woman is churning curd in a pot to make butter and lassi.
A man is carrying green fodder for the cattle.
Another man sits on a charpai and drinks a glass of lassi.
A farmer is driving a tractor in the field.
Farmers are sowing seeds and watering the crops.
A man rides a motorcycle with milk cans; another goes by bicycle.
Children are playing and a girl is beating a dholak.
Some people are walking near the Government School and the bank.
Why it happens: the plains have fertile soil and plenty of water, so most work in a village here is about farming and about milk from cattle.
Q3.
Look at the picture above and write your observations: Which animals do you see in the picture?Redrawn from the picture on page 132 of the textbook. Look carefully at the land, the trees, the animals, the work people are doing and the clothes they are wearing.
Answer
Redrawn from the picture on page 132: flat open land, a village house with washing hung out to dry, a big shady tree, a school and a bank with an ATM, a tractor pulling a trolley and a motorcycle carrying milk cans on the road, a white cow at its feeding trough, a woman churning curd in a pot, a man carrying green fodder, a man resting on a charpai with a glass of lassi, an old cart wheel and a solar panel. The book’s picture also shows children playing, a woman plaiting a girl’s hair, a hand pump, a bicycle and a trolley full of villagers.
The animal in the picture is a cow.
A white cow with short horns stands at the wooden feeding trough beside the house.
A man is carrying a big bundle of green fodder for her.
Why this animal: people in the plains keep cows and buffaloes for milk, and milk is needed for the lassi that Gurpreet talks about. Bullocks help in farm work. The fur of these animals is short because the plains are warm.
Q4.
Look at the picture above and write your observations: Do you notice anything unique about the clothing of the people?Redrawn from the picture on page 132 of the textbook. Look carefully at the land, the trees, the animals, the work people are doing and the clothes they are wearing.

Yes. The clothes are loose, cotton and brightly coloured.
Many men wear a turban (pagri) on the head with a kurta and pyjama.
Women wear a salwar-kameez with a long dupatta drawn over the head.
The colours are strong — yellow, pink, blue and orange.
Why it happens: the plains are hot for most of the year. Loose cotton clothes let the air pass through, and a turban or a dupatta over the head keeps off the strong sun.
Tip: look at the clothes people wear in your own town. You will find they also suit your weather.
