Question

Q1.Read the following passage carefully.
From the moment a baby first opens its eyes, it is learning. Sight and sensation spark off a learning
process which will determine in large measure, the sort of person it will become. Language stands
head and shoulders over all other tools as an instrument of learning. It is the language that gives man
his lead in intelligence over all the other creatures. No other creature can assemble a list of ideas,
consider them, draw conclusions and then explain his reasoning. Man can do all this because he
possesses language. And if thought depends on language, the quality of an individual’s thought will
depend on that person’s language-rudimentary or sophisticated, precise or approximate, stereotyped
or original.
Very young babies are soothed bv human voice uttering comforting words close to them. This
essentially-emotional response provides early evidence that feeling is an important component of
language learning. Children learn to use language in interaction with other human beings and this
learning proceeds best against a background of affectionate feedback from the person who is closest
to them. This is seen to perfection in the interaction between parent and a baby: eyes locked together,
the adult almost physically drawing ‘verbal’ response from the baby, both engulfed by that unique
experience of intimate and joyful ‘connecting’, which sets the pattern of the relationship between two
people.
Thus, long before they can speak, children are involved in a two-way process of communication, which
is steadily building a foundation on which their later use of language will be based. Constantly
surrounded by language, they are unconsciously building structures in their minds into which their
speech and reading will later fit grammatical constructions, tense sequences and so on. The forms of
these structures will depend on the amount and complexity of speech they hear. Fortunate are those
children who listen to articulate adults, expressing ideas and defending opinions. They will know, long
before they can contribute themselves and understand, that relationships are forged through this
process of speaking and listening; that warmth and humour have a place in the process, as have all
other human emotions.
Using books is the most important means of ensuring a child’s adequate language development. None
of us can endlessly initiate and maintain speech with very small children; we run out of ideas or just
get plain sick of it. Their lives are confined to a limited circle and they do not have enough experience
to provide raw material for constant verbal interaction.
Parents and children who share books share the same frame of reference. Incidents in everyday life
constantly remind one or the other of a situation, a character, an action, from a jointly enjoyed book,
with all the generation of warmth and well-being that is attendant upon such sharing. All too often,
there is a breakdown of communication between parents and children when the problems of
adolescence arise. In most cases, this is most acute when the give-and-take of shared opinions and
ideas have not been constantly practised throughout childhood. Books can play a major role in the
establishment of this verbal give-and-take because they are rooted in language.
Young children’s understanding greatly outruns their capacity for expression as their speech strains to
encompass their awareness, to represent reality as they see it. Shades of meaning which may be
quite unavailable to the child of limited verbal experience are startlingly talked to toddler. All the
wonderful modifying words-later, nearly, tomorrow, almost, wait, half, lend, etc. begin to steer the child
away from the simple extremes of “Yes” and “No” towards the adult word of compromise from the
child’s black and white world to the subtle shades and tints of the real world. The range of imaginative

experience opened up by books expands the inevitably limited horizons of children’s surroundings and
allows them to make joyful, intrigued, awestruck acquaintance with countless people, animals, objects
and ideas in their first years of life.
Books also open children to new points of view, besides their own as they unconsciously put
themselves into other people’s places-‘if that could happen to him, it could happen to me’. This
imaginative self-awareness brings apprehensions and fears as well as heightened hopes and joys.
Answer the following questions briefly:
(i)How does the range of language affect a person’s thinking?

(ii) What advantages do children, who listen to articulate adults, enjoy in comparison to others?

(iii) What is the role of books in maintaining a good relationship? Explain.

ii. The children who listen to articulate adults have the advantage of knowing that relationships are build through effective communication.

iii. Book are important for a child's language development and mindset development. Reading good books together can influence like mindset and thus it leads to better understanding.  

Explanation:

1. Language gives humans an intelligence superior to all  other living creatures. No other creature can make lists of ideas, consider them, draw conclusions, and  explain its own reasoning. Humans have language, so they can do all this. The quality of a person's thinking depends on his language - rudimentary or sophisticated, accurate or approximate, stereotypical or original. Very young babies are comforted by a human voice nearby speaking comforting words. This inherently emotional response provides early evidence that emotion is an important component of language learning. Children learn to use language in dealing with other people.
2. Learning is most effective against the backdrop of getting loving feedback from the ones closest to you. Long before children can speak, they engage in two-way communication processes that steadily lay the groundwork for subsequent language use. Because we are  surrounded by language, we subconsciously build structures in our heads into which language flows. Speaking and reading  later applies to grammatical structures, tenses, etc. form of. These structures  depend on the amount and complexity of the language you hear. Children who listen to  adults, expressing their thoughts and ideas clearly, defend their opinions will get to know a long time before they get involved in a relationship that a relationship is build through communication.  
3. Parents and children who share books have the same point of views. While facing incidents in everyday life It always reminds them of the situation, characters, and actions of the books they enjoyed together. It has all the  warmth and comfort that accompanies such sharing because books are language-based, they can play a major role in establishing this verbal give-and-take.
