Ans


1- Joint family system is better because it plays a pivotal role in the personality formation of
children. It exerts the effective mechanism of social control and provides children with a
variety of cherishable relationships. It helps us to learn interpersonal skills, and the art of living
in a society.
ii-
capitalism is the economic system of countries like the United States, and socialism is
the economic system of countries like former Soviet Union which break down into parts.
In that case, I'd say that capitalism is better than socialism.
iii- Urban life is better as there are wide range of opportunities. Here people rise out of poverty
when compared to rural areas. A Village is a small community .
1v- Of xourse democracy is better as In Democracy we these advantages: protection of the interest of citizens; prevents monopoly of authority; promotes equality; makes for a responsible and stable administration; brings a feeling of obligation towards the citizens; imparts political education to the people; helps make good citizens; allows a little chance of revolution; and, it promotes change.

Last week, I enjoyed a wedding ceremony. It was held on the occasion of my cousin. This enjoyable ceremony took place on the 15th instant in our village home. Really it was an attractive ceremony. The whole house was festooned with colorful papers and paper made flowers.
There was illumination of multicolored elecric lights around the house.
The bridegroom and the bride were dressed in gorgeous wedding dresses. About two hundred guests attended the ceremony. Then the formalities of the marriage were completed in a cordial environment. The tables were full of dishes with delicious foods. Some of my cousins served the guests sincerely. The wedding feast was full of pleasure, laughter and heart conversation. I met many of my relatives after a long time. The farewell scene of the bride was very pathetic.
I do not forget such a wonderful ceremony

Q.7 Narrate an unforgettable incident from your life which overpowers your imagination in leisure time. (10) 

Ans:

        Some years ago there was the most memorable incident of my life. It was apparently excited well as funny. It  would have cost me my life. It all began when I went for summer vacation to my grandmother s house in a village. The village was situated in sialkot punjab.
I loved going to my grandmothers's house because of the calm and tranquil environment. The scenery and landscape was  also very beautiful. There was a lot of greenery all around, especially the green fields where I love going to spend my time. I have a number of friends there as well. We had great fun together. One day an incident occurred in village  that I will never forget all my life!
I was walking through  the fields when I noticed something lying curled on the ground at some distance. The texture, colour and physical features of the object seemed over all as  to be a snake. Moreover, it was lying in my path to the house. I felt myself getting nervous and very much afraid. I became white with fear! I stood still for a moment not knowing what to do then. I was very much frightened  that the snake would turn around and bite me.
         I slowly moved backwards and ran to call my grandmother and some elders. When I told them my story, they came with me. To my surprise,  the so-called snake was still lying in the same position,It had not moved an inch.
        My grandmother  and some of the  elders went close to the object and suddenly there were loud peals of laughter. My grandmother heartily laughing told me that it was not a snake but a whiplash that was lying on the ground. He lifted it up .He  gave it to me. I took the whiplash in my hand .Now I felt so stupid. Then I observed all people having a hearty laugh. Later I learnt that my friends had planned to surprise me by keeping the whiplash on the field.. They had intended making me fool.I often enjoy by thinking about this incident.
