Q1
. Online classes vs offline classes
Being in a traditional classroom provides students with an
opportunity to experience freedom and interact with the world.
Putting a student in a room with a computer means that the student
will never be able to bond with the professor and other students.

When studying online, it becomes difficult for students to clear their

doubts. It is hard for a student to clarify something that he/she does
not understand. This is because the student cannot consult an expert
on that subject for further clarification. Students do not have the
same ability to understand concepts. In a traditional classroom
setting, the student is in direct contact with the professors, library,
laboratory, and peer students. In a traditional classroom, the student
is able to ask questions and get different interpretations of the
problem. Moreover, he/she can gain an experience of using multiple
methods of arriving at the solution. These methods provide adequate
resources for student to clear doubts. This is not possible in an online
learning program.

But because of this covid-19n situation online classes is best for our
health and for our society. Because students are taking classes from
their home. It also easy for student to take online classes from their
home and also maintaining social distancing.

So according to me offline class is best for students for their for their
proper understanding

. chandrayan : A stepping stone to India’s space success

story
Chandrayaan-II went agonizingly close to the moon’s surface before it
suffered a setback but the expedition was a success in igniting the
interest of the scientific community across the world. National
Aeronautics and Space and Administration (NASA) of the United
States, considered leader in space exploration, lauded the Indian
Space Research Organization (ISRO) and said it was  “keen to jointly
explore the solar system with ISRO”.

If NASA was excited about the expedition, how has the young and
aspiring scientists among students looked at the project? Classroom
catches up with the young ones to find.  

“The final margin by which India was able to land the probe on the
moon is a testament to India’s space prowess,” said Ankit Shairaj
Class XI student of rajghiri Public School, Kalamassery. “The orbiter of
the mission will continue to monitor the moon for up to seven years
and will collect vital details for future efforts to land on the moon. It
never was a failure.”

That Chandrayaan-II was the first attempt to send a rover to the south
pole of the moon and India was only the fourth nation even to make
an attempt to land a probe on the moon after China, US and Russia
have done us proud, Ankit said. “The ISRO has a number of missions
coming up, most notably the Gaganyaan Mission which hopes to send
astronauts to space from India. ISRO certainly has the prowess and
vision to inspire future generation of scientists,” he said.

“The whole nation watched with bated breath the launch of

Chandrayan-II and its success, though not in full, brought waves of
joy,” said Ankit’s batch mate Tessa Abraham Elenjikal. “For the first
time in Indian space mission history, the ISRO expedition was
spearheaded by two women, mission director Muthayya Vanitha and
Ritu Kalidhal. They deserve appreciation for their hard work.” Tessa is
gung-ho when she talks about ISRO: It’s capable to discovering new
planets, galaxies and stars as well and it can churn out innovative
ideas as well. And Chandrayaan-II has lit the spark that would set the
fire of discovery to burn.  
 Q2

PUNCTUATION
Punctuation marks vary from language to language and preferences
for specific marks vary from writer to writer.

However, what is important is that, within any given text, writers

should maintain consistency.

Generally, the present-day tendency is to use minimum of

punctuation with the main reason for use being clarity.

PUNTUATION MARKS
1. Apostrophe (‘)

2. Caret

3. Colon (:)

4. Comma (,)

5. Ellipsis (…)

6. Em dash (—)

7. En dash (–)

8. Exclamation mark (!)

9. Full Stop or Period (.)

10. Hyphen (-)

11. Inverted Commas or Quotation marks (“)

12. Parentheses, Braces or Square Brackets () {} []

13. Question mark (?)

14. Semicolon (;)

15.  Slash (/)

1 Apostrophe (‘)
• Use the apostrophe when combining two words. It is always placed in the spot where the
letter(s) have been removed.

• Rule: Use the apostrophe to show possession. Place the apostrophe before the s.

Example: I’m planning to write a book.

- She’s always on time.

- I can’t believe it’s snowing again
- I don’t this.
- Who’s there.

2 Caret (^)
• The free-standing circumflex symbol ^ has many uses in programming languess,where
it is typically called caret.
Example: The teacher arrived(^) the class before the students.

- We would like to bring some(^) for the food.

- The boy(^) holding the flag,when he fall.
- They accepted his sincere(^) heartfelt condolences.
- Little drops(^) water make a mighty ocean.

3 Colon (:)
The colon is a very useful mark that we mostly use for making headings.
Sometimes, this mark is also used for showing pause.
 
Example: A dolphin is not finish:
- The research is conclusive:
- We have two option here:
- They as are follows:
 4 Comma(,)
The Comma is a very useful punctuation mark in any language. So you should learn
the proper use of this mark. When you need to pause before starting again, then
you should use the comma.
 

Example: She has two dogs, three cats, one bird, and five rabbits in her house.

- I am from East Lansing, Michigan

- Example: He was born on August 4th, 1990
- Example: It was a young, beautiful dog.
- It was a young, beautiful dog.

5 Ellipsis (…)
Ellipsis takes place when you need to show that something will be following.
To express something like this: you should be reading from today……, it indicates
that you should continue reading
. It’s also used for showing unlimited occurrences. 0.99942424……………..

Example: I’m going to discuss the matter in details in this post. So read on…

- After school I went to home ….

- She open the door… and saw … a cake.
- I was thinking … maybe we should call home.
- I never thought ….

6 Em dash (—)
A mark of punctuation (—), technically known as an em dash, used to set off a
word or phrase after an independent clause or to set off words, phrases, or clauses
that interrupt a sentence.

Example: "A hypocrite is a person who—but who isn't

— What he said was true — or so I thought.
— Alisha and paras— they are a fun couple will be visiting us this evening.
— All the students of the class passed the exam— ever single one.
 7 En dash(-)
The dash is a punctuation mark that is similar in appearance to the hypen and
minus sign but differ from these symbols in length and ,in some font ,height
above the baseline

Example: Brother-in-law

- One-half
- Ex-wife
- Mid-april
- Warm-up

8 Exclamation mark(!)
The Exclamation mark is used for indicating strong feelings.
So we use exclamation marks when there’s a need for showing our feelings to a
great extent.

Example: Hurrah! Brazil have won the football world cup.

- Get off my lawn!.
- I’ve had it with your lies.
- Stop! He yelled . you’ve got two flat tires.

 
9 Full stop or period(.)
The period mark is also known as the full stop.
There’s also another less common use of full stop
which takes place when we use to shorten some words

Example: I like to eat pizza.

- School starts on Wednesday.
- The baby’s name is Grace
- The dog is brown.
- The baby is crying.
 10 Hypen(-)
A short horizontal mark of punctuation ( - ) used between the parts of
a compound word or name or between the syllables of a word when divided at
the end of a line.

Example: I rented a two-bedroom apartment in France last year.

- When I knocked the door, his 70-year old grandfather opened the door.
- Chocolate-coverd donuts.
- Well-known doctor.
- 5th-6th.

11 Inverted commas or Quotation marks(“)

Quotation mark comes with a pair and inside it, there remains a sentence or
word.

It is used when there’s a need for writing somebody’s speech.

Example: He said, “you shouldn’t call me anymore because we have no business from
now.”

- “What is your favorite color?” she asked.

- “I don’t want to go to school today,” Alan said.
- “I’m hungery,” she complained.
- “What’s for tea?”

12 Parentheses, Braces or Square Brackets () {}

[]
Brackets are also used in pairs. You can use them to write some complementary
sentence or phrase to your main sentence.
Note that removing the phrase or sentence inside a bracket is complementary,
not mandatory.
So if you do so, then the main sentence will be okay
 Example: I’ll be helping you (even if you don’t help me).
- : 4x(5+9) =?
- 9-5/(8-3)*2+6.

13 Question marks(?)
The Question mark is used for making a question.

This takes place in the ending of an interrogative sentence.

So a question mark will replace a period mark if the sentence is interrogative.

Example: What do you do?

- Does it work?
- What do you mean?
- Where are you going?
- What’s your name?

14 Semicolon(;)
A mark of punctuation ( ; ) used to connect independent clauses and show a closer
relationship than a period does.

Example: I had taken a lot of food in my breakfast; however, I’m hungry now.
- John likes eggs; Jennifer does not.
- The cat slept through the storm; The dog cowered under the bed.
- I like bacon, eggs, and cheese; but not all together on a sandwich.

15 Slash(/)
Slash comes to replace or. So I can use come today/tomorrow instead of today or
tomorrow.
There’s a current trend of using a slash to show gender-neutral writing like
she/he.
Example: Will you call me today/tomorrow?
- He/she come together.
- C:/programe files/windows.
 - https:/www.really.com.
- 2/3=two-three.

Q3
 Importance of Time Management for Students

The Meaning of Time Management

In our daily life, we have got only twenty-four hours in a day. Therefore we cannot do
everything in one day. This creates limitations in our everyday work. In order to manage work,
social life and sleep, division of time is important. In a particular way division of time is the
need. This will help the person to complete all his tasks. You should write your tasks in a
schedule.

Designing has to be in a way that each task gets enough time. Your work should have the highest
priority. The second priority should sleep. And the last but not the least your social life. Your
social life includes family and friends.

In order to live a happy and peaceful life socializing is important. Too much workload can make
a person ill. So, give your mind a little rest. Spending time with family can help you with this.
Moreover, the main purpose to work is to fulfill the needs of the family. Since the fulfillment of
needs is important. Which makes a person happy.

Though adults are working, the students are not spared with work. The students today have many
studies to do. Because of this, they are not getting time to enjoy their childhood. Time
management for students has become a crucial need. Education has become vast. Therefore
proper scheduling of time is important.

A good student knows the importance of studies. But he should also know time never comes
back. Thus a student should take out time for personal development too. Since personal
development is important for their proper growth. Moreover, personality development is also
important for a student. They should at least take out one hour for sports. Sports teach student
teamwork. Since it is enjoyable it lessens the stress of the day.
