CBSE Class 4 School Holiday Homework Worksheet Set 10

Useful Tips
Some days it is very difficult to concentrate. You may just not be in the mood to study or maybe it is a certain topic that you have difficulty concentrating on. Whatever the reason, there are some steps you can take to help you concentrate:

- If you keep having the urge to get a snack, then get it first, before you start studying. That is the only snack you get until you are done. You would be amazed at how much time you can waste going back and forth to the fridge.
- Remove any other distractions. Turn off the TV, go into another room if people are talking. Do not take any phone calls until you are through.
- Try to do your homework early in the day. If you wait until just before bedtime then your brain will be tired out at the end of the day.
- Finally, do not procrastinate. Your homework will not get done by itself, so you may as well make up your mind to sit down and do it. Once you are done, you will be free to get on with other things.

1. PARAGRAPH WRITING

Question 1. Write a paragraph of about 80 words on the topic: Group 1 - A school of my dreams.
Answer: The school of my dreams is a magical and vibrant place surrounded by lush green trees and colorful blooming flowers. There are no heavy school bags; instead, we have digital smartboards and exciting science laboratories where we perform fun experiments every day. The classrooms are spacious, airy, and filled with interesting books. My teachers are extremely kind, loving, and patient, making learning a joyful adventure rather than a chore. We also have a massive playground, a swimming pool, and a music room where we can explore our hobbies. It is a place where every child feels happy, safe, and inspired to learn.
In simple words: A dream school is a happy, green place with fun lessons, kind teachers, and lots of space to play and learn.

Exam Tip: Use descriptive adjectives and keep your sentences well-structured within the word limit.

Question 2. Write a paragraph of about 80 words on the topic: Group 2 - Importance of Books.
Answer: Books are often called man's best friends because they enrich our minds and broaden our horizons without demanding anything in return. They are lighthouses erected in the great sea of time, guiding us through knowledge and imagination. Reading books helps improve our vocabulary, enhances our writing skills, and sparks creativity. When we open a book, we travel to magical fantasy lands, learn about history, and understand different cultures from the comfort of our homes. Unlike electronic screens, reading books relaxes our minds and fills us with wisdom and peace.
In simple words: Books are our best friends that teach us new things, improve our language, and take us on wonderful imaginary journeys.

Exam Tip: Include a strong opening hook and a meaningful concluding thought.

Question 3. Write a paragraph of about 80 words on the topic: Group 3 - Life in a big city.
Answer: Life in a big city is fast-paced, bustling, and full of endless energy and opportunities. Towering skyscrapers, gleaming shopping malls, wide flyovers, and flashing neon lights define the urban landscape. Cities offer excellent educational institutions, advanced multi-specialty hospitals, and diverse career opportunities that attract people from all over. However, city life also comes with challenges such as heavy traffic congestion, noise pollution, and a lack of open green spaces. Despite the constant rush and commotion, people in big cities enjoy a vibrant cosmopolitan culture and a modern lifestyle.
In simple words: Big city life is fast and exciting with great facilities, but it also has heavy traffic and pollution.

Question 4. Write a paragraph of about 80 words on the topic: Group 4 - Junk food is harmful.
Answer: Junk food, such as burgers, pizzas, potato chips, and sugary soft drinks, is extremely harmful to our health despite tasting delicious. These processed foods are loaded with unhealthy fats, excess salt, refined sugars, and chemical preservatives while lacking essential vitamins and fibers. Regular consumption of junk food leads to severe health issues like obesity, sluggishness, dental cavities, and stomach disorders at a young age. To grow strong and stay active, we must replace junk food with nutritious homemade meals, fresh fruits, green vegetables, and plenty of water.
In simple words: Junk food is tasty but bad for our health because it causes weight gain and illness, so we should eat healthy homemade food.

Exam Tip: Clearly state the harmful ingredients and contrast them with healthy alternatives.

Question 5. Write a paragraph of about 80 words on the topic: Group 5 - My first experience of using a computer.
Answer: I will never forget the day I first used a computer. My father brought a sleek desktop home, and I was both fascinated and nervous to touch it. With my father's guidance, I gently pressed the power button and watched the monitor glow to life. I learned how to move the mouse pointer, click on icons, and type my name using the keyboard. Later, I opened MS Paint and used the brush tool to draw a colorful house. That magical first experience sparked my lifelong curiosity for technology and digital learning.
In simple words: Using a computer for the first time was an exciting experience where I learned to use the mouse, keyboard, and draw pictures.

Exam Tip: Write in the first person and describe your personal feelings and steps of learning.

2. HANDWRITING

3. READING BOOKS

Books are not lifeless papers. They are lighthouses erected in the great sea of time. You can read the following books and write a paragraph about the character that you did not like in the book. Give your reasons for it.

Group 1 - Panchatantra Stories in English
Group 2 - Malgudi Days by R.K. Narayan
Group 3 - The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
Group 4 - Indian Folktales by Anupa Lal
Group 5 - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

Question 7. Write a paragraph about the character you did not like from your assigned reading book and give reasons.
Answer: In Rudyard Kipling's 'The Jungle Book', the character I disliked the most is Shere Khan, the ferocious and arrogant tiger. Shere Khan is a bully who lacks fairness and sportsmanship, constantly plotting to harm the innocent human boy Mowgli just to satisfy his own cruel ego and hunger. Instead of respecting the peace laws of the jungle set by the council, he spreads fear and intimidation among all the animals. His cowardly and treacherous behavior proves that bullies who rely on intimidation always meet a deserving end.
In simple words: I disliked Shere Khan from The Jungle Book because he was a cruel bully who tried to harm Mowgli.

Exam Tip: Give specific character traits and support your opinion with incidents from the story.
