Answers
Answer:
Last summer vacation was a period of joys and delights. I traveled through many cities, made many friends and enjoyed sights and scenes. A journey by boat upon the Ganga is a very wonderful experience. It is impossible to forget it. It is equally impossible to remember it without sense of pleasure.
From where to where:
We were three friend sat Allahabad. We decided very early in the morning to go to Beneras by boat. All the necessary arrangements were quickly made. We were soon moving on the sacred water.
How the boat was propelled:
The current and the wind were very favorable. Our boat went on by itself without help of oars. They were smoking and laughing. They were perfectly at ease.
Night rest:
My two friends had paid a visit to a theatre the previous night. They felt very sleepy. As the gentle breeze was blowing, they were soon asleep.
Description of Surrounding Scenery:
I was quite refreshed after a whole night of full rest and sleep. I began to look about. I observed and enjoyed what I saw. I feasted my eyes on the sights along the banks of the river. At regular intervals, there were ghats where men, women and children were bathing. I saw, at some places, the village women washing clothes. Here and there children were playing about. They were shouting at one another. Some women came to the river to fill their earthen pots.
I had often heard and read that Indians were lazy. I was struck with the busy and active habits of the villagers. One must go into a village to see the real Indian nation. This was my feeling during the journey.
Enjoyments of the Journey:
It was afternoon. The cattle were grazing on the grassy fields on either side of the river. It was a very hot. The small calves and little lambs were resting under the shady trees.
The boat moved on very gentle and noiselessly. My heart was filled with great pleasure when I saw the reflection of the setting sun in the water. The yellow rays turned the river into a bright sheet of gold. The scene around was glorious. The sky was dyed red. I enjoyed the sight of the surface of river.
Night came on. It was perfect silence all around. In the silence, the Lord of day gave his throne to the Queen of night. I looked up and saw the moon and the numberless starts. They were adding to the beauty of the night.
My Thoughts:
I fell into deep thoughts. I asked myself, “Where were the moon and the starts during the day? I could not see them when the sun was bright”. I soon found the answer. The light of the sun hide from me the moon and the starts. Perhaps the light of my life hides from me many new and wonderful worlds. Night presents a most lovely sight in the sky. Perhaps, death will open out new truth!
Conclusion:
So thinking I too feel asleep with my friends. I was aroused from the sleep next morning by a boatman, who cried, “Sir, it is Benaras”.

Explanation:
A journey boat is always very pleasant. It has a charm of its own. Rowing a boat provides a lot of fun.
Once this summer I had opportunity to go to Mauritius for about a week. We stayed in a hotel which was within a walking distance from the sea. On the full moon day, my father hired a boat for two hours. The boat was quit spacious though not a very big one. All of us-myself, my father, mother, sister and younger brother clambered in the boat.
It was dusk. The sun had just set. The scenery was very beautiful. There were not many boats on the river. I wanted to row but my father was afraid to let me do that. The boatman came to my help. He said that he would take care that I did not cause any harm to the boat or to myself. In the end, my father agreed. Sat in the place of the boatman and had the joy of rowing for almost ten minutes. Imagine my joy of rowing for almost ten minutes. Imagine my joy and pride when I was able to row the boat and keep it on course. Of course, its speed was reduced. My brother envied me.
Soon the moon was shining brightly. The tall trees silhouetted against the sky made a beautiful seens. The lights of the nearby houses and of the bridge threw beams of silver in the river. The sky was studded with stars. The scenery was breath-takingly beautiful.
Time flew, very soon the two hours were over. The boatman brought us Jump to the bank. We enjoyed every single minute we spent. It was really wonderful. The memory still haunts me
