“The River Yakima was treacherous. Mother continually warned about it and kept fresh in my mind the details
of each drowning in the river.”
Douglas, in “Deep Water”, wanted to learn to swim and was not deterred either by his mother's warnings
or by the fact that he nearly drowned in the YMCA swimming pool.
After reading the lesson you realise that it is really important to follow our dreams. Sometimes we are
afraid of water as was Douglas, but we need to overcome our fears if we wish to be successful in our
endeavours.
You wish to write an article (120-150 words) in the school magazine urging young people to be fearless
in following their dreams. You wish to remind them that the future of the nation lies in the hands of
its intrepid/fearless youth.

Answer:
INDIA — A SAFE PLACE FOR WOMEN
by Navita
Each time our eyes hit the newspaper, the headlines provoke outrage with news of gang rapes, violence, molestations and harassment of women. The species which consists half of our population is still subject to violence and discrimination. Women continue to live in fear and under the domination of men in present-day India.
When we talk of freedom and independence of the country from the outside forces we are proud of what we have achieved today but women who were equal contributors in the freedom struggle continue to remain shackled by chains of patriarchal mindset. Women are often denied their freedom of choice. Nobody asks a girl what her dreams are or what role she aspires to play in life. Rather her status is confined to the conventional roles that the society has assigned to her. To make this country a free and enjoyable place for women, we first need to empower the police and government in order to provide a safe environment to women so that they can travel wherever and whenever they want. We also need to improve our law and order situation and get serious about the investigation, prosecution and trials. More investment needs to be made in promoting equality and improving ways for the women to take a stand for themselves.
