Answer:

In simple words: Different states in India have unique languages, traditional dresses, and food items based on their culture and geography.

Exam Tip: Remember at least two to three states along with their staple food and primary language for general questions.

Question 2. Draw the pictures of a tunnel and a bridge. Also enlist the various differences between them.
Answer:
Tunnel: A tunnel is an underground passage dug through hills, mountains, or under the ground/water to allow trains, cars, or water to pass through.
Bridge: A bridge is a structure built over a physical obstacle such as a river, road, or valley to provide a way across it.
Differences between a Tunnel and a Bridge:
1. A tunnel is built by burrowing or digging through solid masses like mountains or under the ground, whereas a bridge is constructed above the ground level spanning across water bodies or valleys.
2. Inside a tunnel, it is usually dark and artificial lights are required, while a bridge is open-air and naturally lit by sunlight.
3. Tunnels protect transport from landslides and bad weather from above, whereas bridges elevate transport above water or deep gaps.
In simple words: Tunnels go through mountains underground, while bridges go over rivers and valleys in the open air.

Exam Tip: Use clear heading points to score full marks when asked for differences between two geographical structures.

Question 3. Write a short note on experiences of a journey recently taken by you.
Answer: Last month, I went on a train journey with my family to visit my grandparents. It was an exciting experience. I sat near the window and watched trees, electric poles, green fields, and small houses rushing backward in the opposite direction. I saw people working in the fields and crossing railway gates. We passed through a dark tunnel where the train lights had to be turned on, and we also crossed a long bridge over a wide river. During the journey, vendors came selling snacks and water. It was a memorable and joyful trip.
In simple words: Train journeys near windows offer wonderful views of nature, villages, rivers, and tunnels.
