Q1.
Describe how your friendship with your friend started. • First list the answers for — When? Where? How? • Then, use your sentences to write a short paragraph of about 80 words. • Give a title to your paragraph.
Answer
Step 1 — list the three answers before you write anything.
| Question | My notes |
|---|---|
| When? | On the first day of Class 4, in June |
| Where? | In the school ground, near the water tap |
| How? | I had forgotten my water bottle; she offered me hers |
Step 2 — join the notes into a paragraph of about 80 words. Step 3 — give it a title.
Sample answer:
A Bottle of Water
My friendship with Ritu began on the very first day of Class 4, in the month of June. It was a hot afternoon and I had left my water bottle at home. I was standing near the tap in the school ground, waiting for my turn, when a girl I did not know held out her bottle and said, “Drink from mine.” That small kindness became a friendship. Three years later, we still share everything — bottles, tiffins and secrets.
Why the title matters: A good title names the one thing the paragraph turns on — here, the bottle of water. ‘My Friend’ would be a weak title, because it could sit on top of anybody's paragraph.
