If you've been listening to the news you already know about our national obesity levels
rising by the day. It has never been more important to watch what you are eating and to
get an adequate amount of exercise and sleep to keep yourself fit and healthy. Though
it may feel like really hard work at first, once you adopt an exercise routine and start to
adapt to a new situation, you'll forget you ever did things differently. Here are the top
four-top adjustments you could make make:

Sleep is huge and almost a third of the US population doesn't get near enough to help
them stay. physically and mentally healthy. If you are sleep deprived, try changing your
habits in order to get a full eight hours every night.

Look at what you're eating now and make changes where you see fit. If you are
susceptible to snacking, keep a piece of fruit or a few nuts at hand. The key is to eat
small meals throughout the day. Reduce portion sizes, remove white bread and replace
with whole grains and make sure each meal contains at least one portion of fruit and -
or vegetables. Healthy food doesn't have to be expensive in the least bit, and you can
get an abundance of low priced fruit and veggies, like apples, bananas, potatoes and
peas.

Take a look at your current lifestyle and make a small list of everything you do that is
not good for your health. This could be anything, from eating too much junk food or
drinking too much caffeine, to smoking or drinking. Start the process of breaking these
habits one by one. Some will be easy, while others may take months or maybe years to
get rid of and eradicate completely from your life, but the sooner you start fighting, the
better.

Some addictions (like smoking, drugs or alcohol) are incredibly bad not only to your
health, but also to your pocketbook. If you smoke and/or drink, start by cutting back on
how many drinks you have, or cigarettes you smoke, in a day, and if necessary, seek
medical advice and assistance to make further steps towards stopping completely.

We all should be doing at least 30 minutes of exercise, 3 to 4 or more times a week, to

maintain good health and keep fit. This can be pretty much anything that is physical,
like walking, cycling, running, swimming to weightlifting, etc. This too does not have to
be expensive, and you can get a great work out without joining any costly gyms. Most of
these exercises are inexpensive, and just doing a cardiovascular exercise, like walking,
jogging, or walking on a treadmill a few times a week will do your body (and heart)
good.

suggested to the family member as well, to call it "The USA" rather than 'America'.
According to him, America is just a common nation like Nepal, India. But the USA is
such a dream nation of students where students develop their career. Verma feels,

nation rather than America.

Along the line may our lives rhyme

To make a loving harvest of space and time.

people and the outcome of such unity. The given lines say that if people all have a sense
of nationalism (Along the line), there will be peace, harmony, and friendship in any
country. The phrase “along the line” suggests that people should have a common and
united feeling of nationality and they should not be divided and discriminated against
based on their ethnicity, culture, religion, politics, and economy.

Space and time in a psychological sense means all 4 dimensions of the universe. It
means that everywhere will be happiness when people are united. It is the Poet's belief
that the people's life would be filled with happiness. They will be able to live in
harmony and peace. The consequence will be a wonderful experience. Many people in
Nigeria are united and they know how bad things have been in the past. Now, they are
united by the common motto of nationalism and are on the way to making a happy
harvest.
d. What is the central idea of the essay Knowledge and Wisdom by Bertrand Russell?

Ans :'Knowledge and Wisdom,' by British essayist Bertrand Arthur William Russell,
makes a distinction between the two concepts of knowledge and wisdom. There is a
difference between knowledge and wisdom. As he sees it, knowledge is the gathering of
information, while wisdom is the actual application and use of that information to

education as well as hands-on experience.

worldview in which most people believe they are the center of the universe. Everyone

history and that everything comes from their culture.

3. Write long answers to the following questions. (2X5=10)

a. Sketch the character of a Famous Actress. How is she different from Earnest
Woman? (A Matter of Husbands)

Ans : ‘A matter of husbands’ is a famous one act play which shows how the talented
actors and actresses can make the audience fall into illusion. The central characters of
this play are the famous actress and the Earnest young woman.

A well-known actress is a wise woman. She is well-known and quite attractive, as her
name suggests. On the exterior, she seems innocent and harmless, yet she is a cruel and
wicked person on the inside. Because Alfred was discovered at her house, the manner
she tells that lady that her husband isn't cheating on her reveals that she is lying. It
demonstrates that she has had inappropriate relations with other men.

Unlike the famous actress, Earnest Young Woman is shown in "A Matter of Husband"
as a simple and scared woman who was easily fooled by the actress's fabricated story.
She comes to the actress's house in tears because she thinks her husband is cheating on
her because he is having an affair with the actress. After hearing her explanations, she
comes back happy. She believes the story about how her husband tried to make her
jealous to get her back. She trusted her and did not ask a single question.

We (the audience) finally found out that her husband was in her room at the end of the
story.

In nutshell, the simple distinction between the famous actress and the ordinary lady
was that the actress was smarter than an Earnest Young Woman.
b. Write a short summary of the poem “A Day” by Emily Dickinson.

Ans: Emily Dickinson's poem “A Day” is recounted from the viewpoint of a child. A
child's perspective of dawn and sunset is presented in this poem. This poem can be
interpreted by two means, one is by it’s direct meaning and another one is by
metaphysical sense. The poem represents the passage from life to death.

In literal sense, morning sun means birth, day means life and sunset means death.
Like we don’t know how we die, the speaker also doesn't have any idea how the sun
set.

The speaker starts by describing how the sun rises. The sunrays seem like a ribbon in
the air. In the sunshine, the church steeples become a rich violet, like amethyst. Sunrise
news spreads like a squirrel run. This lovely scene shows how swiftly things happen
after the sun rises or in real life, how fast life goes on after someone’s birth.

The opening verse is cheerful and promising. In the second verse, the hills loosen their
bonnets. The mist/fog that covers the hills disappears as the sun rises. After that, the
bobolinks start their morning singing.

The speaker loses confidence in describing the beautiful sunset. When the sun sets, a
purple gate emerges. The yellow kids climb the purple stile. The purple stile denotes a
horizon, a line between land and sky. The owners of the child's take them to their home.
It somehow tries to mean that the god takes us to paradise after our death.

A dominie leads the yellow lads and girls away at night. The dominie is a priest or a
schoolmaster who softly raises the nighttime bars and safely returns the youngsters.
Day is figuratively ended by night (death). Evening bars represent safety.

Overall, In this poem, metaphors are evident and spiritual. It offers insight into nature
and life by Emily Dickinson. This is a great poem about life and death.

4. What is the most useful thing that you have ever learnt? Write two or three
paragraphs about it. (7)

Most useful thing that I have ever learnt

The ability to communicate in English is by far the most valuable skill I've learnt. When
you can speak in a language other than your own and others can understand you, it's a
wonderful feeling.

It has taken me at least 15 years to learn English well, and it hasn't been an easy road
since English instruction in Nepali schools (specially the government ones) is rare to
nonexistent. The best assistant for me was Television. I used to watch a lot of English
movies, cartoons, and shows and it definitely helped me shape my vocabulary and learn
better english.
I was always a bookworm when I was a child. I used to have a lot of english books and
also a big oxford dictionary. I used to study a lot of stories and make English familiar to
my brain. Whenever I got stuck on some words, I used to search for them right then in
the dictionary and started to use it in my own English so I could better familiarize with
it.

I never left any single chance to talk with tourists. Being a citizen of a tourism-blessed
nation, a lot of people used to come to the locale as well. Whenever any tourist, I used
to approach them, introduce myself, and start talking with them, without caring
Grammar, pronunciations, or coherency. This way, It really helped me polish my
English. In addition, I often watch English-language films in order to enhance my
language skills.

English is widely studied all over the globe, as we all know, and we must do our best to
master it.

It's a great language to be able to express oneself in and read and comprehend to the
whole world, and I'm as enthusiastic about learning it as I used to be.

Write a reply email to Nitesh. ( 8 )

From: Ram

To: Nitesh

Subject: Re: Holiday

Hi Nitesh!

Great to hear from you, and what a treat it will be to see some of your old school pals!
They've found a beautiful location for a week-long vacation. There are several tourist
attractions in our Baglung.

Baglung offers plenty of natural and cultural resources for exploration. Kalika Temple is
the first spot they may visit while also enjoying the longest suspension bridge of Nepal,
ie. Baglung - Aduwabari Bridge.

If you guys want adventure, our place is the best pick for you. Here, you can enjoy
rafting in Kaligandaki River. Not only this, Kushma- Balewa taller bridges, rope-
cycling, bungee-jumping etc are some of the adventurous things you guys can do here.

Panchakot is another must see place in Baglung. They may witness Dhawalagiri Himal's
beautiful view from there. Another lovely lake may be found away from the hustle and
bustle of the city. Begnas Lake is a secluded and tranquil spot. The stroll around the lake
here is really restorative.

Another interesting site to see is BhairavSthan Mandir. Trekking on foot to that temple
would definitely help you collect some of the best unforgettable memories of your trip.

In Baglung, you and your traveling companions may engage in activities including
hiking, trekking, boating, and paragliding. With regards to cuisine, there is a wide range
of options available in this area. Both Green Momo and Thakali khana are quite
common dishes, and I highly suggest both.

Traveling about Baglung is best done on foot if you want to get the most out of this
place.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Yours,

Bipin

6. Many students in Nepal tend to choose to study abroad. To what extent does this
trend benefit the students and the country? What are the drawbacks? Write an essay
to explain your thoughts in about 300 words. ( 10 )

Advantages and Disadvantages of Studying Abroad

Studying abroad is a dream for many Nepalese students. Traveling and getting a taste
of a different culture may be a life-changing event. It contributes to making learning an
experience. You'll be able to adapt to the new situation and have more fun at the same
time.

A new way of life and a new culture broaden your perspective on the value of the
seemingly little details of everyday existence. To give you an idea of how minor things
may add up while you're living overseas, here's an example. After studying German
culture and language as a major, I didn't anticipate much difference between Germany
and the United States, which are both more Western-style countries. Even though
society is similar in both nations, the more time I spend living here and integrating, the
more I observe how even tiny changes in behavior or the availability of specific services
or goods can alter the way you see a place, your life, and the lives of everyone else.

Additionally, learning a new language may be quite beneficial and provide a plethora of
new opportunities. Making new friends and experiencing new things because you can
interact with individuals who don't speak your original language is not only enjoyable,
but it also gives you a greater awareness of how even the most minute differences in
communication can have a significant impact.

Seeing more of the world makes you appreciate everything more, and seeing new things
that aren't comparable to what you're used to back home simply makes you feel better.

In developed nations, there are new benefits. Healthcare quality is much higher. With
student health insurance, which costs just a few dollars per day, students can see a
doctor whenever they need one, undergo certain procedures, and even stroll into clinics
for emergencies without paying anything.

The salaries are also often greater, so one may make more money than one spends
studying abroad, particularly when fantastic options for scholarships, grants, stipends
etc. exclusively earmarked for study abroad students are taken into consideration.

Every coin has it’s two sides. Without a doubt, the most significant drawback is the
inability to participate in activities at home, particularly with family. This is less of an
issue for other students, particularly those who are just planning to remain for a
semester or a year. But, it's the most challenging and frustrating element of studying
abroad.One of the less visible drawbacks of long-term international relocation is the
difficulty in establishing a sense of home in each new location.

In addition, depending on your long-term goals, you may have to put in more effort
than you'd want. Some students are fortunate enough to complete their study abroad
experience during their final year, when they still have a limited number of courses to
complete before graduation. This gives them plenty of time to relax and enjoy their
adventure. For other students, the opportunity to travel the globe may be
overshadowed by the fact that they must work on a new major or take more classes in
order to complete their present degree in a reasonable amount of time while abroad.

As previously indicated, much of this will be determined by your course of study, your
origins, and your intended destination. Studying abroad may be the finest choice you
ever make if you know exactly what you're getting yourself into and choose a location
you believe you'll love. It's also a huge plus for future job applications, especially for
those with a global outlook. Not to mention, it looks amazing on resumes! If you're not
already a global citizen, you may become one after studying abroad.

Not only this, some unethical practices may be adopted in their home countries as they
learn and adapt to new cultural norms as a result of this constant exposure to other
cultures. Because of this, students need to be very aware of what is good and wrong for
themselves. The fact that they will be away from family and friends may cause them to
feel alone and homesick. Experiencing prejudice and harassment in a new environment
is another challenge for students. They'll need to be resilient and vigilant in order to be
safe in such a scenario.

Most of the students who study abroad do not return to Nepal. You should consider
relocating to another country if you're planning to do that. There are several benefits of
studying abroad, but there are also a few drawbacks. Is it a good idea for pupils to take
it or not?
