1. Write an essay by describing the locations of things in your room. (Page no.3)
My Room
A man lives in a society. He needs many things in his life. Food, cloth and house are his basic needs. A house protects him from heat, coldness and rain. Some people live in their own rooms and other people live in common rooms. But, I live in my own room.My room is on the second floor. It is quite big too. It is under the roof of the house. It is painted with light green colour. There are two big windows on walls . So, my room is very bright and sunny. I have painted the windows with white colour. There is a double bed at the right corner of the room. There is a book case nearby the bed. There is a table next to the book rack. A laptop and some textbooks are on the table. There are two chairs around it. A green carpet is on the floor. All my clothes are on the hanger which is on the door. There are some pictures of famous persons, beautiful posters and a calendar on the wall. My room is in the open area. So, a beautiful scene of nature can be seen from my room.
But, it has some problems. Sometimes, when the rain falls, water leaks from the roof. The glass of one window is broken. There is no glass in another window. I have covered it with plastic. There is no fan on the ceiling. It is near the School. So, it disturbs me too much.
However, my room is very comfortable. It is very beautiful. I like my room very much.

A Day In The Life Of Sandesh'
A man lives in a society. He comes into contact with different kinds of persons. He does different kinds of works within a day. What a man does within a single day is known as a daily routine. Everyone has his own type of daily routine, which is different from other persons. I have my own daily routine. This is described as follows-
My name is Sandesh Poudel. I live at Sundarharaincha in Morang with my family. I am a student. I study at Sukuna Heigher Secondary School in the class 11 of Science faculty. Usually, I get up at five o'clock early in the morning. Then, I go to toilet, brush my teeth and wash my face. I often eat bread or fried rice as a morning snack. At 5:30, I wear my school uniform and keep my textbooks into my bag and go to the school on my bicycle. I reach the school at 5:50. Some of my friends have already come there. I talk with them. Our first class begins at 6 o'clock and the last class ends at 11 o'clock. I return from the school and change my uniform. I take my lunch. Usually, I take dal, bhat and tarkari as lunch. After this, I start studying my textbooks and doing my homeworks for three hours. Sometimes, when I feel bored, I watch TV or listen to radio.
At 2 o’clock, I take snack lunch. About half past four, I often go to my friend's house. Sometimes, we play volleyball or football or chess. Sometimes, we go to see cinemas. Sometimes, we go for sightseeing. Sometimes, we go for a walk. I return home about seven o'clock and eat dinner. I eat dal, bhat and tarkari as dinner. Sometimes, I take bananas or slices of cucumber. Then, I study for 2 hours and spend some time on laptop and I often go to bed about 11 o'clock.
A Successful Friend
People work hard. All the people cannot get success in their lives. But, very few of them get so much success that they became very famous in the whole country. In our class, there is a student. His name is Ujwal Ghimire. After 50 years from now, he became a famous doctor.He was born in a very poor family in 2058. His parents were poor farmers. There were six children in their house. Sometimes, they slept without eating anything. The parents didn't have money to send Ujwal in school. First of all, Ujwal worked in a rich man's house as a servant. In the mornings and evenings, he used to do house works but in the daytimes, he used to go to school. He was a very hard working student. He stood first every year. He passed SLC with distinction in 2076. In I.Sc., he became board third and he went to India to study medicine under Scholarship. After eight years, he became an optician. He married a beautiful girl after two years. By the end of 2092, he became very famous doctor.
He lived at New-Road in Kathmandu. He worked in Teaching Hospital. Besides that, he worked in many Medicals. He himself established a nursing home at Kalimati. The government of Nepal had awarded him as "Outstanding Youth of 2095". He has got many awards from the President. He has earned so much popularity that the people come from far to meet him.
5. Write an account of the most important events in your country's history, and when they happened. (Page No.-43)
Democracy In Nepal
One of the most important events of Nepal is the establishment of democracy in 2007 B.S. The cruel Ranas were ruling the country. They were very selfish. They might kill anyone who disliked them. They did not let the common people to go to schools for reading and writing. They used to pass their time very luxuriously. There was no freedom for speaking too.The late king Tribhuwan decided to overthrow such cruel rule of Ranas from the country. He went to India to get help from the Indian government. With the help from Nepali Congress, he began an armed movement. Many people died and became wounded. Mohan Shamser made Gyanendra as the King of Nepal. But the government of India did not accept Gyanendra as the king of Nepal. Finally, there was held treaty among, three groups i.e. the king Tribhuwan, the representatives of Ranas and Nepali Congress. They decided to establish democracy in Nepal. This treaty is called Delhi treaty. Democracy was established on 7 Falgun¸ 2007 BS. Tribhuwan was made the king of Nepal. He made a joint government and decided to make a democratic constitution.
In this way, the rule of Ranas, which had begun from 1903 BS, came to an end after 104 years. The people of Nepal became very happy. . There was happiness everywhere. All the restrictions upon political parties were released. The people become free from the cruel chains of Ranas. They got freedom for speaking and writing too.

Dear Prakash,
I got your letter on 16 April. Thank you very much for remembering me so much. These days, I am not feeling very happy because I have badly broken my right leg in an accident.
It was the accident of 2 days ago. It was a very hot day. I was taking a rest with my friends after playing football on a ground. Our body smelled badly because of sweat. So, we decided to go to the Narayani river for swimming. Taking off our clothes, we dived into the river. The river was deep enough for swimming. We were playing 'hide and seek' game in the water. While playing the game, I decided to dive into the river from a height. I wanted to show my courage to my friends. When I was just about to dive, I felt dizzy and fell from the height and I injured one of my eyes badly and then I was hospitalized.
Although the doctor has said that the situation of leg was very bad ,it could be cured, it will cost 2 lakhs rupees for the operation. He has said if the operation is not done on time, it will effect on the moment of leg and I will couldn't walk properly . I am quite worried by thinking that my poor father will not be able to collect the money within one month. We have no land for selling. Can you tell me any way to come out of this difficult situation?
Say my remembrance to your dad and mum. I hope you are quite fine there with your family members. This much for today. I will write more in my next letter.
Yours faithfully,
Sandesh Poudel

8. Write an essay on "Television". (Page No. – 72,)
Television
The scientists of the world are inventing many kinds of modern technologies, which have made our lives quite easier. Among many such modern inventions, a television is the most important invention of modern science.Television is becoming popular day by day. A black and white television is much cheaper than a colour television. Although, television gives a lot of information, it may be harmful especially for children. It makes the environment of a house very bad. One forgets to do one's daily works. It makes the people very passive. Sometimes, television shows obscene scenes and broadcasts false news that affects on viewers negatively. There are so many advantages of television. One can watch and listen to news, informative and entertaining programmers on a television. One can get practically lots of information and entertainments from television. Television is a friend of loneliness. One can know the incidents happened all over the world just by sitting in one's own single room.
One should not watch television more than necessary. One should watch television, only after completing one's duties and works. In conclusion, television is a curse as well as a gift. If we misuse it, it will be a curse. If we use it properly, it will be a gift.

This is a scientific age. We don't believe in anything if we do not have proofs about it. But there are some mysterious events, which we cannot prove scientifically. I had experienced one such mysterious event.
It was the real incident happened ten years ago. I was a small child. One winter night, I was sleeping with my brothers. We had closed every door and window of our house because of coldness. Although I was lying on my bed, I was not asleep. I was fully awake and I was thinking about different kinds of things. Suddenly, I heard someone say, "Sandesh, Where are you? I have come to bring you". It was very dark inside the room. I could not see anyone. I was afraid. Some mysterious creature caught me very tightly and became ready to take me away. I tried to shout, but I couldn't make a single word. My heart started beating very fast. I thought I was going to die the monster will kill me now . I could only breathe and move my hands slightly.
Suddenly, there came an idea in my mind. I pinched to that mysterious creature forcefully with my long nails of my fingers. He released me and went away saying. I could not hear his footsteps. I switched on the light. I saw no one. Although, all doors and windows were closed he had already gone outside and had disappeared from there.

12. Tell the story of a time when you had a narrow escape. (Page No. - 120)
A Narrow Escape
It was an incident of two years ago. All of my friends had learnt to drive a motorcycle. But I hadn't learnt yet. Sometimes, the friends used to come to meet me. They talked about the enjoyments they get by driving different types of motorcycles. They taught me about the theoretical knowledge about the ways of driving a motorcycle. I had become quite interested in driving it, but I had not got any chance. I was quite busy in those days, as my final examination had come very near.One day, I saw my uncle's motorcycle on the side of a road. I looked around but I saw no one. Finding a golden chance, I started the motorcycle and drove it comfortably at first, although I was feeling quite nervous. I had never driven any motorcycle before . I pressed the accelerator , the motorcycle went ahead suddenly. I hardly control it. Suddenly, I saw a car coming towards me. I lost my sense. I turned the motorcycle to the wrong side. I almost hit the car and fell into a dirty lake with the motorcycle. The lake was near the road.
There came my aunt, other relatives and friends. My whole body had become very ugly because of dirty water. They started laughing by looking at me. There came my uncle too and he spoke very angry languages to me. I had driven his motorcycle without his permission. I did not know that the motorcycle was on gear. Fortunately, any parts of the motorcycle had not broken. If there was not the pool, I would certainly die. I give thanks to the god for this luck. It was a narrow escape.

Dear Papa and Mama,
I came here exactly at 4 pm in the afternoon after taking a bus from Biratchowk at 5 am Now, I am living at Kathmandu. It is a big town I have taken a room in rent. It is behind my collage. It is as big as our living room. It faces the east. So, it is very sunny. There are two big windows in my room. I have to walk just five minutes to reach the collage from my room.
The toilet and bathroom are separate. But, there is the problem of water. The water comes early in the morning and late in the evening. If the water is not filled in those times, the clothes cannot be washed and food cannot be cooked. The landlord and landlady are very friendly. Here isn't any Wi-Fi facility. But, my landlord has filled application for Wi-Fi. I hope it will be installed very soon.
The rules and regulations of the house are very strict. Everybody should clean the toilet and the bathroom and house in a routine . The dirts should be thrown into a dustbin. No one is allowed to come inside and go outside the house after nine o'clock in the evening and to drink beer inside it.
. I hope you are quite fine. Say my remembrance to my brother, sister and other neighbors. This much for today. I will write more in next letter.Bye.
Yours respectfully

14. Write a story about someone whose plans went horribly wrong. (Page No.-179)
I have many friends. One of my friend's names is Aashutosh Bhattrai. He is very much ambitious. He always makes great plans. He is a handsome youth, but he is very poor in his studies. He doesn't like to do any kinds of hard works, but he wants to eat tasty foods. Although, he is very poor, he wears very expensive shoes and clothes. Once, he told me his secret plan that went horribly wrong.
Once, he said that he had fallen in love with a girl. She belonged to a rich family. Her name was Elizabeth. It seemed that he didn't know anything about her. He had lied that he worked in an INGO and he had passed MBA from Tribhuwan University. It seemed that Elizabeth had easily believed every word of Aashutosh. She was the only daughter of her parents. Krishna used to tell me that he would marry her and he would be a millionaire. He always talked about going for traveling to America, Britain, Italy and Germany. He talked about modern facilities like television, computer, fridge or the things like those.
Once, he did not meet her for two months. He made telephone calls to her but he got the message that she had gone to her maternal uncle's house. One day, he found her inside a restaurant. To his surprise, he found her married and talking with her new husband in a romantic way. There was a necklace on her neck and Sindur on her parting.
15. Write a review article for a newspaper of a recent film that you have seen. (Page No.-179) (HSEB-2059)
Movie Review of Jhola
'Jhola' is a Nepali film based on Krishna Dharawasis's story 'Jhola'. It shows old Nepali tradition 'Sati Tradition' that was in practice until the 1920s. The 90 minute-film has beautifully presented the issue of violance against women. There is the question that every youngster wonders about "Has Neplease Society really passed through such inhuman tradition?" Garima has played a central role in the film .
The nightmare starts in her life when her husband dies, especially in the funeral ceremony. She is supposed to be burnt alive with the dead body of her husband according to the tradition. However, she escapes the fire and hides in a cave. The help of her son fascinates the audience. She lives in the cave for a long time her son helps her everyday in her living. Almost all the scenes seems realistic and historical. Mr Yadav Kumar Bhattrai, the director has filmed traditional tools like (dhiki,janto,madaani,etc.)which have given traditional look in the film .
Besides Sati Tradition, the movie also touches 'kamaara kamaari' (a kind of slavery) tradition. What a beautiful film! Garima's natural apperance, her role and her acting are outstanding which added beauty in the movie.
