English Class 10 Sample Paper

SECTION- A

(READING) 

A1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

MY FEATHERED FRIENDS

We lived in a village where the border of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi met. Our house was on the slopes of hills in Tanzaina surrounded by a forest of tall trees. It was very tranquil, with no hustle and bustle of the city. In such surroundings, birds were aplenty to see. Almost every one of the expatriate community had turned into a bird watcher of sorts. Most of us had a field guide to African birds, an illustrated manual which was very handy. Some of us who were these elusive, feathered friends any time of the day. Thus began a love affair with these feathered creatures. 

We would argue with each over the correct identity of these birds as some of the birds were migratory and were only rarely seen. We made a point of seeing as many birds as possible which were illustrated in that book. Any strange whistle or sound brought us running to our doorsteps with our binoculars to see if a new species had arrived. Birds like bulbuls, sunbirds, wax bills, warblers were regular visitors.

The birds provided us company from dawn to dusk. Of rare occurrence was the bird, tropical boubou. These birds always moved about in pairs and make a peculiar bell-like sound, where the ‘tong’ is made by one and the ‘clang’ by the other of the pair. And equally rare was the landing of a huge tawny eagle, triple the size of a hen, in the verandah o four house. Its size and looks were grightening and we breathed a sigh of relief when it flew away. Now that I am back in India, I miss all my feathered friends. The only birds I can hear early in the morning are the cuckoos. I reminisce about my time in Afriaca and think about it with nostalgia. I remember one Sunday morning when the lark was singing in the trees overlooking the valley of the Kagera river, the poem ‘Pippa’s Song’ by R.L.Stevenson came to my mind. The lark’s on the wing and all’s right with the world. It was truly right at that moment in my world.

A1.1. Complete the following sentences:

   a) The writer’s house was very peaceful because------------------------------.

   b) Almost every expatriate there had become a birdwatcher because-----------------------.

   c) As soon as they heard a strange whistle or sound, the people’s reaction was-------------------.

   d) Back in India, the narrator remembers her days------------------and-------------------were----------------------- two kinds of birds they rarely saw.

A2. Read the passage very carefully 

TUTORING IN DOON 
 
DehraDun: Home to prestigious schools, the coveted Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Rashtriya Indian Military Collage (RIMC), DehraDun has also come to be known as the palace that holds the key to gaining admission to these centers of excellence. Tutoring centers her cater specifically to students desirous of enrolling in boarding schools and aspirants of a career in the Indian armed forces.This comes as no surprise. Who better than a former or current boarding school teacher to tell you what it takes to be a Welhamite or a Dosco. So, every July sees the influx of parents with 10 or 11-years –olds in tow knocking the doors of established names in the tutoring business for guidance on how to clear the school entrance examination. An intensive five-month coaching in four main subjects-Mathematics, Hindi, English and General Studies-promises to arm one’s child with the key to a desired school. Business has been flourishing in the past 15years and reputations have established to an extent that coaching for admission to other boarding schools outside the valley-like Mayo College in Ajmer, Lawrence School, Sanawer, and Scindia School in Gwalior-is also preferred to be done in Doon.
Sandeep Kumar of Sandeep Tutorials, which is one of the leading tuition centers here, says,‘Teachers charge anything between Rs.8000 to 10,000 per subject. It is a business running into cores. “He adds that rich families form Nepal and Bihar form a major part of the clientele in this industry. 
According to Sandeep, there are around 60 set-ups in Doon, which teach the young entrants, and the combined success rate is roughly 80%. Hundreds of parents from all parts of the country take up rented accommodation or opt for paying guest facility from July to November while their wards prepare. Doon is a Mecca for those aspiring to get an entry into these reputed schools, says Divya Arora, who studied at Welham Girls Schools. Doon School, Welham Boys and Welham Girls School admit 400 to 500 students every year in Classes VII, III and V, respectively.
These families spend about Rs 3 laks to stay here and get their kids coached. People have built special accommodation (like annexes) for the purpose of letting them out to such seasonal visitor.Furnished accommodation is available for Rs10, 000 a month while unfurnished rooms go for  Rs5,000. Cooks from local hotels get additional employment for these five months as they come and cook for the families before going to work at the hotels. He ‘dabba’ system, which is fast gaining popularity in the valley is also preferred by these families. 
“School entrance coaching is an industry running Parallel to the school business in the valley,” says Vishal Verma, a senior lecturer of Management at a private university. These tutors are actually famous even in far-off places like Sharjah. ‘One of my friends came all the way form Sharjah with his son looking for a particular lady tutor who coaches students for entry into Doon School,” he tells.
Though many teachers form the various well-known schools of the valley take coaching classes,either at home or after forming pools, some schools had banned this practice to w years ago.They, however, coach students of other schools after their working hours. Aspirants for defense services also make a beeline for Doon thanks to some coaching institutes of repute that have established here.
