I hope you are doing well. I noticed during our last chat that you often feel tired. I am writing this letter to share a few easy tips that can help you live a healthier life.

First, try to cut down on junk food like burgers and chips. Fresh fruits, green vegetables, and plenty of water will give you more energy throughout the day. Second, make sure to get at least an hour of outdoor play or exercise every evening instead of watching TV. Lastly, try to sleep for at least eight hours each night so your body can rest well.

Small changes made every day can make a big difference. Please take good care of yourself.

Taking part in sports and physical activities keeps the body fit and the mind fresh. Above all, hard work, honesty, and positive thinking are the real keys that lead every student to success.

We learn that love, peace, and quick forgiveness are far better than holding long grudges.
In simple words: Leo Tolstoy wrote this story to teach us that we should forgive each other quickly like young children do.

Answer: Roger McGough is a well-known British poet and author celebrated for his simple, witty, and humorous children's poetry.

The child feels very small among the older students, does not understand school rules, and wonders whether the playground railings are built to keep wild monsters away. Through these thoughts, the poet highlights how terrifying and overwhelming an unfamiliar school world can seem to a little child.
In simple words: Roger McGough writes about a small boy who feels scared, confused, and alone on his first day at school.

Question 3. Why did Richard Wright feel shy and half paralysed in the presence of crowd?
Answer: Richard Wright felt shy and half-paralysed because it was his first day at a new school, and he was terrified of being judged by strangers. When the teacher called him to the blackboard to write his name and address, all the boys and girls turned their eyes toward him. The pressure of so many unfamiliar faces staring directly at his back made him freeze inside. Although he knew his name, address, and spellings well, his intense nervousness caused his mind to go blank, leaving him unable to write a single letter.
In simple words: He froze because all the new classmates were staring at him, which made him feel too nervous to write.

Exam Tip: Highlight that he froze not out of a lack of knowledge, but because of extreme stage fright and the fear of being mocked by a room full of strangers.

Question 4. I knew how to write as well as any pupil in the classroom.
a. Who said this?
b. Why?
Answer:
(a) Richard Wright said this in the autobiographical story of his early school days.
(b) He said this to remind himself that he was not foolish or uneducated. He was fully capable of reading, writing, and spelling his name correctly, but the sudden fear of standing before a large crowd of staring classmates had frozen his mind and hands at the blackboard.
In simple words: Richard said this because he wanted to prove to himself that nervousness, not lack of ability, made him freeze.

Exam Tip: Divide your answer clearly into parts (a) and (b), identifying the speaker first and then explaining the contrast between his real ability and his temporary stage fright.
