I don’t agree. After all I am not old, still I have so much liking for fishing. My school work stands in my way, so I could find time for going fishing only on weekends. During holidays, of course, when the weather is fine nothing pleases me more than fishing. I have a special hat, a small fishing basket and my favourite fishing rod. I purchase the necessary worms from the market and put them in the basket. Usually I start after breakfast. I leave work at home that I will return only after evening. Taking my coffee flask, and a few slices of bread, I walk off. My favourite fishing ground lies some two kilometers away from my house. Once I reach the place, I sit comfortably on the bank of the stream with reeds all around me. Fixing the worm to the hook, I throw the line into the water. It requires a lot of concentration to have en eyes on the plumb. Sometimes I succeed in landing one or two gold fish. Sometimes I wait for a long day, before I could catch even a small fish. But that does not detract me from going fishing. Sometimes I while away the slowly moving time by singing some popular hits. I feel that I am the monarch of all I survey. There is nothing to win and there is not much to lose. There is nobody to conserve and only nature keeps company. So one feels as though one is Yogi. I enjoy the ripples in the water. I enjoy the shoals of fish. I take pleasure in seeing the king fisher. Now and then I may be rewarded with the music of bird. In short, for those who can temperamentally enjoy loneliness, there is nothing fishing. Questions: 1. What is the writer’s most favourite hobby? 2. Is he able to go fishing on Sundays ? 3.

When I am in some place which is far from lake, river and sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is something missing, even though it is sometimes hard for me to decide what it is. Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and swimming. It is possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without
10. a lot of water. Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good. Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too rough for sailing. Even on the coldest day one row, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one. Sometimes it is so cold when I go out rowing that drop of water freeze wherever they fall. In such weather, it is not very pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when is rowing, one gets warmer the longer one goes on.  Answer the following questions. 1. How does the writer feel when he is in some place which is not near the water? → 2. What type of sport does the writer like? → 3. Why are swimming and sailing not easy sports to continue in winter? → . 4. Is it unpleasant to swim in cold water? → II.

That I probably because I was born in a village by the sea, and I have lived most of my life close to water. When I am in some place which is far from lake, river and sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is something missing, even though it is sometimes hard for me to decide what it is. Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and swimming. It is possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water. Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good. Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too rough for sailing. Even on the coldest day one row, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one. Sometimes it is so cold when I go out rowing that drop of water freeze wherever they fall. In such weather, it is not very pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when is rowing, one gets warmer the longer one goes on.  Answer the following questions. 1. How does the writer feel when he is in some place which is not near the water? → 2. What type of sport does the writer like? → 3.

The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious. They are endangered because poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory. At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory, which is used to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere. “Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s vice president for species conservation, told The Washington Post in September. And so our message is “Don’t buy it , and don’t take that chance”. A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and 2002. Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said. As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever in traditional medicine. Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States. “Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon. “The other part is law enforcement. So we have more than one strategy.” 1/ Is it legal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere? ___ 2/ Why are tigers and African elephants endangered? ___ ___ 3/ What does the word “it” in line 7 refer to? ___ 4/ What does the Chinese use parts of the tiger for? ___ 5/ According to Professor Dillon, what two things do we need to solve the problem? ___ II.
