SECTION -B (UNDERSTANDING)
B1. Read the passage:
If someone offered me a month's holiday, I would visit India, which is a country that has always interested m
I will explain why I would like to go to India. I first got interested in India when I read a very interesting novel
which described life in an Indian city. Later at the University, I came to know several Indian students whom !
liked, I learnt from these friends that India has a completely different way of life from that of any European
country. I am sure it would be very interesting to visit a country which is very unlike my own.
If I went there, I would try to find out how the people live and what they think. I believe one can understand
one's own way of life better when one compares it with other ways of life. My Indian friends also explained
that India faces a number of difficult problems such as shortage of food, increase in population and the need
for industrialisation. These are problems which face most of the countries.
If these problems could be solved in India, which has the second largest population in the world they could E
solved in other countries. If I went to India, I could see how the Indians are dealing with these problems. But
my main reason for going there would be that I think I would enjoy myself because India has many unusual
and beautiful places.
