Answers
1 Answer: yes, I agree schools today are more fun than the school in the story. In the story, there is no interaction among students regarding studies. studying and answering questions seems to be a boring idea. doing homework without anybody's help and writing them in a punch code would also be draining. Moreover, children develop a better understanding about each other and of their surroundings when they go to a school and interact with each other. it is a healthier way of learning. listening to teachers explaining lessons is always more interesting than reading the entire lesson on a mechanical computer. also if any student face any problem with the subject or in homework, he can discuss it with the teacher and other kids. it is impossible to discuss problems and situations with a mechanical teacher that is only programmed to teach in a particular manner. the excitement of waiting to know the marks scored in exams is greater when one is sitting in the classroom with other students. it does not have the same effect when the marks are calculated immediately after a test has been taken. finally, the friends that you make at school are most probably the best friends that you will ever make in your entire life. the various qualities that you learn in school like obedience, respect, kindness, sharing, taking part in school games and other activities are all a part of school education today. therefore, schools today are more fun than the school in the story as they are more interactive. they promote the healthy environment for the students to study and learn.
3 Answer:Einstein was not only a great scientist but a man with love for peace. His life history contains in itself the moral lesson that one must love one’s fellow beings and all the discoveries of science should be oriented towards the aim of establishing peace. Einstein had written a letter to the American President Roosevelt to warn him against the destructive atom bomb that Germany would build on the principle of nuclear fission. But Einstein was terribly shocked when America caused a large scale destruction in Japan by dropping an atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Einstein made sincere efforts to spread the message of peace. He even wrote a letter to the United Nations proposing that a world government should be established. He did not use his popularity for selfish or personal gains. Instead, he worked for furthering the cause of democracy and peace. He was never carried away by his achievements; on the contrary, the honours bestowed on him encouraged him to work more for the welfare of humanity. The life of Einstein thus inspires in us the values of sincere work, devotion to humanity, selfless service of mankind, and love of peace.
