Section A (20 Marks)
Reading
I Read the following passage and answer the questions on the basis
of your understanding:
1 x 5 = 5
The culture of nuclear families is in fashion. Parents are often heard complaining
about the difficulties in bringing up children these days. Too much of freedom in
demand, too much independence; overnight parties, excessive extravagance,
splurging pocket money, no time for studies and family all this is a common cry
of such families. Aren't parents, themselves, responsible for this pitiful state?
The basic need of a growing youth is the family, love, attention and bonding
along with moral values. One should not forget that 'charity begins at home'
Independence and individuality both need to be respected, in order to maintain
the sanctity of family. Children, today are to be handled with tact in order to bridge
the ever-widening generation gap. Only the reasonable demnands need to be fulfilled,
as there are too many expenses to be met and top many social obligations to be
taken care of by the parents. Our forefathers lived happily in joint families. Children
loved to live with their cousins, learnt to adjust within means. There was perfect
harmony between the generations. There never existed the concept of old-age
homes,
here was deep respect for the family elders and love, care and concern for the
youngsters.
Even the minor family differences were solved amicably.
Questions:
1. Mention any two major common concerns of a nuclear family,
2. Who, according to the passage, are responsible for them?
3. Explain the expression 'charity begins at home'.
4. Describe the atmosphere in joint families
5. Which word in the passage means 'Holiness of life'?​
