NCERT Solutions for Class 6th English Chapter 2 A Friend's Prayer — Let us listen

Book page 56 Updated on2026-09-19

Q1.
You will listen to a talk about some outdoor activities that two friends spend their time doing. As you listen, answer the given question in one or two word(s) only. What do the two friends purchase and use on the park bench?
Answer

A comic book.

The transcript on page 72 says: “Sometimes they also purchase a comic book, sit on a park bench and read together.”

Listening tip: The question repeats two words from the audio — purchase and park bench. When you hear those words, the answer is the very next thing said.
Q2.
You will once again listen to the talk about some outdoor activities of the two friends. As you listen, circle the pictures that show these activities. (Six pictures, numbered 1 to 6)
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
The six pictures on pages 56 and 57, redrawn (pictures 1 and 2 are on page 56; 3, 4, 5 and 6 on page 57).
Answer

Circle pictures 1, 3, 4 and 6.

PictureWhat it showsCircle it?Line in the talk
1Two boys sitting on a park bench, reading a book togetherYes“purchase a comic book, sit on a park bench and read together”
2One boy cycling while the other walks beside himNoThe talk says both go cycling — here only one boy is on a cycle.
3The two friends eating ice-cream near an ice-cream cartYes“What both truly enjoy is eating ice-cream together.”
4The two friends walking together on a path in the parkYes“both take walks in the nearby park, listen to birds and look at the trees”
5The two boys reading, seated on a mat on the grassNoIn the talk they read on a park bench, not on the ground.
6Both boys on bicyclesYes“On Saturdays, both go cycling around the neighbourhood.”
How the two wrong pictures trap you: Pictures 2 and 5 show the right activity done in the wrong way — one cyclist instead of two, and a mat instead of a bench. In listening tasks, always check the small details, not just the main action.
Not shown at all: the swings and the slide, which the talk also mentions. No picture in the book matches those.
