When we ask I Q questions, some people give answers so quickly, but other think for longer. The same question could be easy for a person but difficult for other. For example the same mathematical question could be easy for a student but difficult for other. It depends on the mental speed of a person. Time plays a vital role in the intelligence tests. If a person gives answer faster than the other, he is called intelligence. Her only write answer is not counted, but the time as will. We have to give the answer within the due second.

Q. If you were shipwrecked alone on a desert island, which five common objects would you want have with you? Why?
⇨If I were shipwrecked alone on a deserted island, I’d like to want to have the five common objects: a gun, a matchbox, a knife, a tent, and some light clothes.
I want to keep a light gun with me because it would protect me from the wild animals. It would be also needed to kill eatable animals. A matchbox would be necessary for me to roast the meat of those animals. A knife would be needed to chop the meat to eat and to cut coconuts which would be available in the island. A tent would be needed to be protected from heat and rain. There might be hot weather on the island. So some light clothes would be sufficient for me there.

I would be grateful if my article about the growing use of computer in our daily lives will be published in your reputed newspaper. I hope millions of readers will advantage from this article.
Modern science has given many things tot us. Computer is one of the greatest inventions of modern science. It has made our life easier and faster. We can’t imagine the modern world without computer. It is the fastest means of communication as will. The internet and email has changed the world into a global village. Computer has become essential part of human life in the present world. Consequence, the users have been increasing day by day. Whether one is doing official or personal work, one prefers to use computer life, without computer, has become almost unimaginable. No doubt computer makes our task easier; it enables people to work efficiently and it prevents people from working in weather extremes. Undoubtedly it has made communication easer efficient and less time consuming. Nevertheless, computer does have reverse side too.Excess use of computer results into the loss of eyesight in the long run. Computer brings sex and violence in screen.

We can watch videos, film and songs on it. We can save data on it. It reduces the costs in the office for accountants. It has become essential part of human life in the present world. The users have been increasing day by day. Computers are useful in business, in education and home. The use of computer has reduced time span of many works. Any works can be done sitting in a place and pressing few keys. It has enabled people to know happenings of the world shortly after it happens. Computer has made it easier for people to communicate in addition to saving time and money. The use of computer in education sector has brought changes in the age-old teaching materials. As in business and education computer is useful at home. Leisure time of family members does not become burden.
Computer has disadvantages as will. Due to use of computer unemployment problem has increased as computer can perform the duty that might need nearly six to seven workers. Unemployment is likely to result into crimes. Continuous work with computer causes loss of eyesight in the long run.

The social networking webs like Facebook and Twitter have created a kind of crazy mentality among teenagers.
In conclusion, if we use computer in a proper way it has more advantages than disadvantages. It is the boon of the modern science.

4.3 Your Own Attitudes
Write paragraph describing each of the followings.
1) BEGGER
Beggars really annoy me. They occupy any place they like, especially crowd places. It not only hinders the beauty of the city but also destroys the fame of the city. Police personals have to chase them time and again. This scene really disturbs any rational being. I find beggars irritating. They cling to the people and beg as if they are recently born puppies. Sometime they disturb tourists by begging. They defame Nepalese people’s identity. Moreover they terrify me.
BEGGER
बगार्सले मलाई साँच्चै कष्टमय बनायो। उनीहरू कुनै पनि ठाँउमा मन पराउँछन्, विशेष गरी भीड स्थानहरू। यसले शहरको सुन्दरतालाई मात्र बाधा पुऱ्याउँछ तर शहरको प्रसिद्धिलाई पनि नष्ट गर्दछ। पुलिसका व्यक्तिहरूले तिनीहरूलाई समय र फेरि फ्याँक्नुपर्छ। यो दृश्य साँच्चै कुनै तर्कसंगत भइरहेको छ। मैले चिन्ता गरें। उनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई अँगाल्दै र सोध्छन् कि तिनीहरू भर्खरै जन्मेका पिल्लाहरू छन्। केही समय बितेपछि तिनीहरू बिन्ती गरेर पर्यटकहरूलाई सताए। उनी नेपाली जनताको पहिचानको दोषी हुन्। यसबाहेक उनीहरूले मलाई डराउँछन्।
2. Nudists
Nudists shock me very much, as they do not keep to social codes. Human beings are regarded as the most developed as they can live with the code established by the society codes is to put on clothes. As nudists do not think it is necessary to put on clothes. I find them uncivilized. I think they are the beasts in human form. I find embarrassing. When walking with relatives their appearance compels me to hide my face. Fathers walking with their daughters should hide their face worth shame. I get terrified with nudists, as they are likely to create disorder in society.
न्युडिस्टहरूले मलाई धेरै झम्काए, किनकि तिनीहरू सामाजिक कोडहरू राख्दैनन्। मानव जाति सबैभन्दा विकसितको रूपमा मानिन्छ किनभने तिनीहरू समाज कोडहरू द्वारा स्थापित कोडसँग बाँच्न सक्छन् लुगाहरू राख्न। जस्तै नग्नवादीहरूले विचार गर्दैनन् यो कपडामा राख्न आवश्यक छ। मैले तिनीहरूलाई बेवास्ता गरेँ। मलाई लाग्छ कि तिनीहरू मानव रूपमा जनावर छन्। मैले शर्मिला गरें। जब आफन्तहरु संग हिड्दा उनको उपस्थितिले मलाई मेरो अनुहार लुकाउन बाध्य पार्छ। आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई साथमा हिंड्नुका पिताहरूले आफ्नो अनुहारलाई शर्मको लामा राख्नुपर्छ। म न्युयोस्टहरूसँग छुट्टै छुट्याउँछु, किनभने तिनीहरू समाजमा विकार सिर्जना गर्न सम्भव छन्।

The Kathmandu Post
Keeping a Dog in a Flat’
People have been keeping dogs from ancient time. Dog is taken as a friend of human beings. They are kept as if our family members. It is an obedient animal. It loves its master either the master is rich or poor. It is said that to keep as dog in a flat is hundred times better than to keep a watchman in our house. A watchman may deceive us but a dog never cheats us. It guards our house day and nights without any selfish desire. It keeps the thief away from our house. Nowadays people keep dogs in their flat not only for security of their house but also for their interest to keep pet small dogs. With its keen sense of smell an hearing, dogs keep our house safe.
Keeping a dog in a flat is very difficult job though numerous prefer to do it. One who desires for it at least should have knowledge of what, how and why. Otherwise, keeping a dog in a flat is a troublesome job.
The owner should have knowledge on what he has to do. The first essential task is to teach the puppy about the time and place of doing excretion in teaching. Training is however not all in all. A good owner should know the way to talking care of dog. Dogs usually like flesh, so they should be fed with meat. Dogs should be vaccinated against various diseases. Otherwise they might cause rabies, which is very dangerous. It keeps our house safe from burglars and unwanted visitors. It is really useful for us.

Caricature
“Caricature”, the word means exaggeration of something. It is a kind of art to distort physical features of a person or an object. Artists create caricature basically with two purposes: to make us to laugh and to inform those who have done mistakes for reformation. A cartoon or caricature tells many things easily with in a second than in our words. Nowadays we see basically our political leaders become the subject matter of caricatures.
On our daily newspapers and magazines, we see cartoons of our corrupted leaders as will as the high ranked officials who have done corruptions and illegal works. People laugh at their cartoons. In Nepal there is the caricature festival that is cow festival or Gai Jatra. At that time, many artists release albums, songs and visual videos for the purpose of satire and laughing. At that time we find magazines with full of cartoons. People get the information that the person is not of having good nature. The culture of cartoon or caricature is a common culture in the world. It could be found in every country and their aim is to make us laugh and to give information. The comedy artists also do caricatures of our political leaders in many comedy programs on televisions. They speak, dress and walk as if the corrupted leaders.
In conclusion, caricature means the cartoons of our newspapers and magazines. To satire over the corrupted person and their wrong works, the artists make caricatures. It can convey a lot of message with a small picture of a caricature.
Politicians
Persons who are actively engaged in politics especially as full-time professional members are called politicians. These days, polities has been
a major field to work on. There is a democratic wave in the modern world and politicians are the basis for building up systems to govern the nations.In Nepal, politicians are mostly corrupt . They win the election by giving dreams and to the people, but, after they win the election, they do their own polities rather than that of the people and the nation. ldeally speaking, Politicians are supposed to be honest, service oriented, coopertaive, diligent and devoted to people. They are the public figures. But, tragically the majority of the Nepalese politicians are literate but uneducated. They do not have visions to guide the nation in the path of progress.
However, politicians are the pillars of national development.The fate of the nation heavily depends on the honesty and devotion of the politicians. They can make good systems, stop coruption by imposing strict laws, and can pave the way for overal national prosperity in different sectors of development.

Q. Can tell you what people’s characters are like from their physical appearance?
⇨It is said that face is the reflection of his/her personality and character. People’s character can be determined, to some extent, from their physical appearances. Many people find it impossible thing too but I don’t suppose so. After observing a person’s facial appearance minutely, I can determine nature of the person. If the person’s noise is crooked, such person is egotistical. S\he has high opinion about him\her. Other people for them are nothing in comparison to themselves. People with broad forehead are generally thoughtful. They have the tendency of thinking seriously before they do any work. They like to get involved in the observation of natural beauty. They are intellectual. Quick thinking and imaginative, but wish to know excessively about others people’s activities. People having double chin are skeptical. People who put clothes carelessly never worry about what other think about them. Such people are interested only in merrymaking and enjoyment. Quite contrarily, people who always wear clean clothes are interested in showing their superiority. They have high opinion about themselves. Nevertheless exception works in some cases.

Tourists
A tourist is a person who leaves his house for at least 24 hours to visit new places. There are two types of tourists: internal tourists, and external tourists. Internal tourists are those who visit within their national border for entertainment and for holidays. External tourists are those who leave their national border and they visit strange places away from their homeland. For examples, a man goes from Nepalgunj to pokhara to see Phewa Lake and Machhapuchhre, he is a internal tourist. If a person comes from the USA to see mt Everest and goes to Namche Bazaar, he is the external tourist.
Tourism is also called the greatest smokeless industry of the world. Every country wants to attract more and more tourists because they are the sources of foreign currency. Due to the tourists many people get jobs as in hotels, trekking agencies, travel agencies and so on. It increases employment and National income. In terms of Nepal, nature has given every beautiful thing for the attraction of the tourists. But we don’t have the good policy and facilities for the tourists. Government should make proper planning to attract more and more tourists. Let’s hope Nepal will be the best destination for the attraction of the tourists.

2. Summer and Winter
Summer and winter are the two opposite spokes in the annual Cycle of season.The two seasons are experienced in every part of the world, thought with varying intensity.
Generally summer is a hot season. In Nepal, when spring is over, Summer sets in bringing with it terrible heat and humidity. Most people are forced indoors because of the heat of the sun. They throw off their clothes.
People clamour for water but most of thw water sources get dry. People feel helpless
against overpowering laziness. Even the electric fan flls the room with hot air .Cold drinks are sold like hot cakes. The sisummer miseries begin to vanish within two months when the monsoon wimd bring the first rains of the yeatr in june.It still feels hot in the rainy season but it's not oppressive and intolerable.
In Nepal winter starts from the last week of November.People sit in their homes, wrapped up in blankets. They come out in jackets and layers of lothes. It needs courage to bathe in cold water. It becomes foggy in most parts of the country Some times unexpected rains fall in this
Season. Life then becomes so miserable.

Q. Tell the story of a dream you have had.
Last Saturday night, I saw a strange dream. I couldn’t say why I saw this fearful dream and what unfulfilled desire made me to see this dream.
In my dream I was alone in a jungle. It was a dense forest. It was so beautiful and green that I was charmed by the beauty of it. The flowers were blossomed and the fountains were flowing in the forest. I was waiting for my friend there. The cuckoo’s sweet song had attracted me much. There was spring season around there.
I was waiting my friend. A black figure was coming towards me. At first I thought it was my friend, but later I know that he was neither a man nor an animal. It was a ghost. It had longer hair and huge body. It had longer claws and teeth. Its face was covered with long dark hair and it was laughing heavily. I was afraid with it and tried to escape from there, but I couldn’t run. The ghost laughed heavily and caught my waist with its single hand and holds me up in the air. It tried to chew my head into its cave-like mouth. When it put my head into its mouth, I suddenly woke up in my bed in my room. I found my pillow had made uneasy to sleep. I was trembling with fear and I couldn’t sleep till the night. It was my strange dream I had seen last night.

1. Happiness
Happiness
It is difficult to define what happiness is. In general sense, happiness it just the state of our mind when we are satisfied. So, mental satisfaction is happiness. Every person in the world wants to be happy but he /she couldn’t get it. Some people think that money and power give us happiness, but it is not so. Self satisfaction is happiness. In Mahabharata, It is said that we become happy when we leave our desire. Our greed and our desire make us unsatisfied what we have because we need more money and other property, then we become sad. It really depends on you. You choose to be happy because happiness never comes to a person. You see, a person (a man or woman or people) has the ability to choose. Maybe Happiness is a virtue. It is a feeling. It is a perspective. Happiness is not a permanent state, and no matter what we get, we will always swing between happiness and sadness. Just look at the miserable rich people out there. In terms of income, it has been shown that once we have a roof over our heads and food on the table, increasing amounts of money cannot buy more happiness.
2. Jealousy
Jealousy
Jealousy is unhappy and angry feeling at other’s progress. If we think we couldn’t do what a next person does, we become angry with his progress that is jealousy. For example when the mother gives delicious food to a small baby it makes the old child jealous. Sometime we become jealous even at out friend’s progress. It is a human nature to be jealous. But it shouldn’t be destructive. We should take it as for the encouragement of our own progress. If we only burn at the other’s progress, we could do nothing in our life and it would be harmful to us. For example when a boy is walking with another girl, his girlfriend becomes jealous. In films and plays we see that they become take revenge due to jealousy. If we become much jealous, it will ruin our life.

Q. A friend has written to you, saying he/she is on a strict diet and is eating very little, but that he/she is still putting on weight. Write a reply, explaining what he or she is doing wrong and giving some good advice.
Bhuwachide;
Mushicoat municipality Date:2075/08/19
Dear Nabina,
I got your letter yesterday. I got to know your problem of putting of weight. You had written that you were on a strict diet and eating little.
I think you have done something wrong in it. You perhaps don’t know how to lose your weight. At first you shouldn’t eat that food which contains fat and calories. You should reduce eating carbohydrate, meat and other oily food. The best way to reduce weight is to do physical exercise and yoga. Yoga would give you relief by making your body attractive and healthy. You can do jogging and you can go to the yoga center. If you try this for a month you surely lose your weight. I hope you will surely follow my suggestion. I hope I will get your reply soon. Yours friend Arun panthi

Q. Write a review for a newspaper of a recent film, play or book.
Munamadan: A historical Film of Nepal
I’ve recently watch the film ‘Munamadan’. It is a Nepali film. I’ve watched it in a computer through CD. This film really represents the picture of Nepalese youths who goes to the foreign countries leaving their family. Laxmi Prasad Devkota wrote the book Munamadan as a song, later the story is converted into a film. It is a historical and realistic film of Nepal. It is a tragedy, based on Nepal's most famous epic poem. Madan, a lower-class worker, is forced by poverty and mounting debts to go to Lhasa, Tibet, leaving behind his lonely mother and beloved wife, Muna. However, tragedy befalls him on the way home.
In this film, Madan, a poor Nepalese youth goes to Lhasa to earn some money leaving his dearest wife Muna and his very old mother at his house. He earned money there. When he was coming to his house, he became sick on the way. But his friends left him alone there. A bhote meets min at night and took him to his house. He makes Madan healthy and he comes back to his house. At that time his mother and his wife were already dead in his memory. The film ends with the pathetic scene. It touches everybody’s heart.
In this film, Deepak Tripathi is in the role of Madan and Usha Paudel is in the role of Muna. This film was directed by Gynendra Bdr. Deuja.This film has presented the typical Nepali theme of poverty and family love. The plot, dialogue and setting of the film are realistic. The songs are so heart touching and the decoration, costumes and dresses are all traditional one. I like to request all to watch this film at once because it teaches us about ourselves.

Dear Nisha,
I got your kind letter yesterday and I became extremely happy knowing about your computer
institute where you are studying. I’m going to write you about a language institute where I am learning
English language.
I think this Oasis Language Institute is the best institute of Nepalgunj. Only the experienced
language instructors are there to teach us. They always tell us not to feel any hesitation to speak English
whether it could be mistake while speaking. If we feel hesitation, we couldn’t speak it. They also focus on
practice rather than the theory of English language. They use audio and visual teaching materials to
teach us. Sometimes we have to talk with the tourists who come there. Sometimes the foreigners also
take classes. Group discussion is basically focused to learn language. There is a good environment of
learning English. I have been learning it for three months. I think I am improving my language than the
past. I think I will be fluent in English with in six months. If you like to learn English, I’d like you to
recommend this institute. I hope I will g et your reply soon.

Mar 21 - Apr 20
There are times when developments and progress are in full swing, but there are days together when life seems to be stagnant; when nothing significant seems to be happening. This is one of those phase that will test your patience. Especially for professionals and businessmen, this period may prove to be highly challenging. The reason: Moon’s connection with Saturn and Ketu, and the two malefic patrolling the 10th House. However, Mercury shuffles in the cosmos and moves through the 9th House, in the company of Jupiter and Sun. This position seems highly supportive of better times ahead. Singles are likely to fall for an acquaintance or a family friend. Filmy though it may sound, you may visit him/her for one reason or the other to see/meet her/him. There are high chances of parents agreeing to your choice, giving consent for marriage.

When we ask I Q questions, some people give answers so quickly, but other think for longer. The same question could be easy for a person but difficult for other. For example the same mathematical question could be easy for a student but difficult for other. It depends on the mental speed of a person. Time plays a vital role in the intelligence tests. If a person gives answer faster than the other, he is called intelligence. Her only write answer is not counted, but the time as will. We have to give the answer within the due second. Nowadays I Q questions are being asked in different types of test and examinations. If a person gives more and more answer correctly in due time, he is considered intelligence and he gets a job. In quiz contest I Q questions are generally being asked. There are three types of I. Q. questions: verbal, visual and numerical.

Such people are praised on earth and liked in heaven. We should, therefore, do our work by our selves and behappy at the result we get.

Q. If you were shipwrecked alone on a desert island, which five common objects would you want have with you? Why?
⇨If I were shipwrecked alone on a deserted island, I’d like to want to have the five common objects: a gun, a matchbox, a knife, a tent, and some light clothes.
I want to keep a light gun with me because it would protect me from the wild animals. It would be also needed to kill eatable animals. A matchbox would be necessary for me to roast the meat of those animals. A knife would be needed to chop the meat to eat and to cut coconuts which would be available in the island. A tent would be needed to be protected from heat and rain. There might be hot weather on the island. So some light clothes would be sufficient for me there.

Modern science has given many things tot us. Computer is one of the greatest inventions of modern science. It has made our life easier and faster. We can’t imagine the modern world without computer. It is the fastest means of communication as will. The internet and email has changed the world into a global village. Computer has become essential part of human life in the present world. Consequence, the users have been increasing day by day. Whether one is doing official or personal work, one prefers to use computer life, without computer, has become almost unimaginable. No doubt computer makes our task easier; it enables people to work efficiently and it prevents people from working in weather extremes. Undoubtedly it has made communication easer efficient and less time consuming. Nevertheless, computer does have reverse side too.Excess use of computer results into the loss of eyesight in the long run. Computer brings sex and violence in screen. Which result into the increment of sex violence. Teenagers utilize computer in such a way that their mind get corrupted and they cross social norms and values. Eventually such deeds are sure to bring social disorder. Moreover it makes people lazy and unsocial as they wish to spend much of their time with computer
If we use the computer in a proper way, it has surely more advantages than disadvantages. It is the boon of modern science.

Advantages and disadvantages of computer.
Modern science has given many things to us. Computer is one of the greatest inventions of modern science. It has made our life easier and faster. We can’t imagine the modern world without computer. It is the fastest means of communication as will. The internet and email has changed the world into a global village.
There are many advantages of computer. We can use for entertainment information and as a means of communication. We can write emails and we can download important information from internet. We can watch videos, film and songs on it. We can save data on it. It reduces the costs in the office for accountants. It has become essential part of human life in the present world. The users have been increasing day by day. Computers are useful in business, in education and home. The use of computer has reduced time span of many works. Any works can be done sitting in a place and pressing few keys. It has enabled people to know happenings of the world shortly after it happens. Computer has made it easier for people to communicate in addition to saving time and money. The use of computer in education sector has brought changes in the age-old teaching materials. As in business and education computer is useful at home. Leisure time of family members does not become burden.
Computer has disadvantages as will. Due to use of computer unemployment problem has increased as computer can perform the duty that might need nearly six to seven workers. Unemployment is likely to result into crimes. Continuous work with computer causes loss of eyesight in the long run. Internet, which is widely used to see pornographic scenes, corrupts the mind of teenagers. Due to it, sex- violence increases rapidly. Computer has direct impact on culture of any nation. The high-tech crimes like hacking banks and important documents become possible due to computer. Virus is also a problem of it. If we put all the records on computer, if the file is corrupted with virus, all the record becomes useless. The social networking webs like Facebook and Twitter have created a kind of crazy mentality among teenagers.
In conclusion, if we use computer in a proper way it has more advantages than disadvantages. It is the boon of the modern science.

4.3 Your Own Attitudes
Write paragraph describing each of the followings.
1) BEGGER
Beggars really annoy me. They occupy any place they like, especially crowd places. It not only hinders the beauty of the city but also destroys the fame of the city. Police personals have to chase them time and again. This scene really disturbs any rational being. I find beggars irritating. They cling to the people and beg as if they are recently born puppies. Sometime they disturb tourists by begging. They defame Nepalese people’s identity. Moreover they terrify me.
BEGGER
बगार्सले मलाई साँच्चै कष्टमय बनायो। उनीहरू कुनै पनि ठाँउमा मन पराउँछन्, विशेष गरी भीड स्थानहरू। यसले शहरको सुन्दरतालाई मात्र बाधा पुऱ्याउँछ तर शहरको प्रसिद्धिलाई पनि नष्ट गर्दछ। पुलिसका व्यक्तिहरूले तिनीहरूलाई समय र फेरि फ्याँक्नुपर्छ। यो दृश्य साँच्चै कुनै तर्कसंगत भइरहेको छ। मैले चिन्ता गरें। उनीहरूले मानिसहरूलाई अँगाल्दै र सोध्छन् कि तिनीहरू भर्खरै जन्मेका पिल्लाहरू छन्। केही समय बितेपछि तिनीहरू बिन्ती गरेर पर्यटकहरूलाई सताए। उनी नेपाली जनताको पहिचानको दोषी हुन्। यसबाहेक उनीहरूले मलाई डराउँछन्।
2. Nudists
Nudists shock me very much, as they do not keep to social codes. Human beings are regarded as the most developed as they can live with the code established by the society codes is to put on clothes. As nudists do not think it is necessary to put on clothes. I find them uncivilized. I think they are the beasts in human form. I find embarrassing. When walking with relatives their appearance compels me to hide my face. Fathers walking with their daughters should hide their face worth shame. I get terrified with nudists, as they are likely to create disorder in society.
न्युडिस्टहरूले मलाई धेरै झम्काए, किनकि तिनीहरू सामाजिक कोडहरू राख्दैनन्। मानव जाति सबैभन्दा विकसितको रूपमा मानिन्छ किनभने तिनीहरू समाज कोडहरू द्वारा स्थापित कोडसँग बाँच्न सक्छन् लुगाहरू राख्न। जस्तै नग्नवादीहरूले विचार गर्दैनन् यो कपडामा राख्न आवश्यक छ। मैले तिनीहरूलाई बेवास्ता गरेँ। मलाई लाग्छ कि तिनीहरू मानव रूपमा जनावर छन्। मैले शर्मिला गरें। जब आफन्तहरु संग हिड्दा उनको उपस्थितिले मलाई मेरो अनुहार लुकाउन बाध्य पार्छ। आफ्ना छोरीहरूलाई साथमा हिंड्नुका पिताहरूले आफ्नो अनुहारलाई शर्मको लामा राख्नुपर्छ। म न्युयोस्टहरूसँग छुट्टै छुट्याउँछु, किनभने तिनीहरू समाजमा विकार सिर्जना गर्न सम्भव छन्।

Keeping a Dog in a Flat’
People have been keeping dogs from ancient time. Dog is taken as a friend of human beings. They are kept as if our family members. It is an obedient animal. It loves its master either the master is rich or poor. It is said that to keep as dog in a flat is hundred times better than to keep a watchman in our house. A watchman may deceive us but a dog never cheats us. It guards our house day and nights without any selfish desire. It keeps the thief away from our house. Nowadays people keep dogs in their flat not only for security of their house but also for their interest to keep pet small dogs. With its keen sense of smell an hearing, dogs keep our house safe.
Keeping a dog in a flat is very difficult job though numerous prefer to do it. One who desires for it at least should have knowledge of what, how and why. Otherwise, keeping a dog in a flat is a troublesome job.
The owner should have knowledge on what he has to do. The first essential task is to teach the puppy about the time and place of doing excretion in teaching. Training is however not all in all. A good owner should know the way to talking care of dog. Dogs usually like flesh, so they should be fed with meat. Dogs should be vaccinated against various diseases. Otherwise they might cause rabies, which is very dangerous. It keeps our house safe from burglars and unwanted visitors. It is really useful for us.

Caricature
“Caricature”, the word means exaggeration of something. It is a kind of art to distort physical features of a person or an object. Artists create caricature basically with two purposes: to make us to laugh and to inform those who have done mistakes for reformation. A cartoon or caricature tells many things easily with in a second than in our words. Nowadays we see basically our political leaders become the subject matter of caricatures.
On our daily newspapers and magazines, we see cartoons of our corrupted leaders as will as the high ranked officials who have done corruptions and illegal works. People laugh at their cartoons. In Nepal there is the caricature festival that is cow festival or Gai Jatra. At that time, many artists release albums, songs and visual videos for the purpose of satire and laughing. At that time we find magazines with full of cartoons. People get the information that the person is not of having good nature. The culture of cartoon or caricature is a common culture in the world. It could be found in every country and their aim is to make us laugh and to give information. The comedy artists also do caricatures of our political leaders in many comedy programs on televisions. They speak, dress and walk as if the corrupted leaders.
In conclusion, caricature means the cartoons of our newspapers and magazines. To satire over the corrupted person and their wrong works, the artists make caricatures. It can convey a lot of message with a small picture of a caricature.
Politicians
Persons who are actively engaged in politics especially as full-time professional members are called politicians. These days, polities has been
a major field to work on. There is a democratic wave in the modern world and politicians are the basis for building up systems to govern the nations.In Nepal, politicians are mostly corrupt . They win the election by giving dreams and to the people, but, after they win the election, they do their own polities rather than that of the people and the nation. ldeally speaking, Politicians are supposed to be honest, service oriented, coopertaive, diligent and devoted to people. They are the public figures. But, tragically the majority of the Nepalese politicians are literate but uneducated. They do not have visions to guide the nation in the path of progress.
However, politicians are the pillars of national development.The fate of the nation heavily depends on the honesty and devotion of the politicians.

Q. Can tell you what people’s characters are like from their physical appearance?
⇨It is said that face is the reflection of his/her personality and character. People’s character can be determined, to some extent, from their physical appearances. Many people find it impossible thing too but I don’t suppose so. After observing a person’s facial appearance minutely, I can determine nature of the person. If the person’s noise is crooked, such person is egotistical. S\he has high opinion about him\her. Other people for them are nothing in comparison to themselves. People with broad forehead are generally thoughtful. They have the tendency of thinking seriously before they do any work. They like to get involved in the observation of natural beauty. They are intellectual. Quick thinking and imaginative, but wish to know excessively about others people’s activities. People having double chin are skeptical. People who put clothes carelessly never worry about what other think about them. Such people are interested only in merrymaking and enjoyment. Quite contrarily, people who always wear clean clothes are interested in showing their superiority. They have high opinion about themselves. Nevertheless exception works in some cases.

Tourists
A tourist is a person who leaves his house for at least 24 hours to visit new places. There are two types of tourists: internal tourists, and external tourists. Internal tourists are those who visit within their national border for entertainment and for holidays. External tourists are those who leave their national border and they visit strange places away from their homeland. For examples, a man goes from Nepalgunj to pokhara to see Phewa Lake and Machhapuchhre, he is a internal tourist. If a person comes from the USA to see mt Everest and goes to Namche Bazaar, he is the external tourist.
Tourism is also called the greatest smokeless industry of the world. Every country wants to attract more and more tourists because they are the sources of foreign currency. Due to the tourists many people get jobs as in hotels, trekking agencies, travel agencies and so on. It increases employment and National income. In terms of Nepal, nature has given every beautiful thing for the attraction of the tourists. But we don’t have the good policy and facilities for the tourists. Government should make proper planning to attract more and more tourists. Let’s hope Nepal will be the best destination for the attraction of the tourists.

2. Summer and Winter
Summer and winter are the two opposite spokes in the annual Cycle of season.The two seasons are experienced in every part of the world, thought with varying intensity.
Generally summer is a hot season. In Nepal, when spring is over, Summer sets in bringing with it terrible heat and humidity. Most people are forced indoors because of the heat of the sun. They throw off their clothes.
People clamour for water but most of thw water sources get dry. People feel helpless
against overpowering laziness. Even the electric fan flls the room with hot air .Cold drinks are sold like hot cakes. The sisummer miseries begin to vanish within two months when the monsoon wimd bring the first rains of the yeatr in june.It still feels hot in the rainy season but it's not oppressive and intolerable.
In Nepal winter starts from the last week of November.People sit in their homes, wrapped up in blankets. They come out in jackets and layers of lothes. It needs courage to bathe in cold water. It becomes foggy in most parts of the country Some times unexpected rains fall in this
Season. Life then becomes so miserable.

Q. Tell the story of a dream you have had.
Last Saturday night, I saw a strange dream. I couldn’t say why I saw this fearful dream and what unfulfilled desire made me to see this dream.
In my dream I was alone in a jungle. It was a dense forest. It was so beautiful and green that I was charmed by the beauty of it. The flowers were blossomed and the fountains were flowing in the forest. I was waiting for my friend there. The cuckoo’s sweet song had attracted me much. There was spring season around there.
I was waiting my friend. A black figure was coming towards me. At first I thought it was my friend, but later I know that he was neither a man nor an animal. It was a ghost. It had longer hair and huge body. It had longer claws and teeth. Its face was covered with long dark hair and it was laughing heavily. I was afraid with it and tried to escape from there, but I couldn’t run. The ghost laughed heavily and caught my waist with its single hand and holds me up in the air. It tried to chew my head into its cave-like mouth. When it put my head into its mouth, I suddenly woke up in my bed in my room. I found my pillow had made uneasy to sleep. I was trembling with fear and I couldn’t sleep till the night. It was my strange dream I had seen last night.

1. Happiness
Happiness
It is difficult to define what happiness is. In general sense, happiness it just the state of our mind when we are satisfied. So, mental satisfaction is happiness. Every person in the world wants to be happy but he /she couldn’t get it. Some people think that money and power give us happiness, but it is not so. Self satisfaction is happiness. In Mahabharata, It is said that we become happy when we leave our desire. Our greed and our desire make us unsatisfied what we have because we need more money and other property, then we become sad. It really depends on you. You choose to be happy because happiness never comes to a person. You see, a person (a man or woman or people) has the ability to choose. Maybe Happiness is a virtue. It is a feeling. It is a perspective. Happiness is not a permanent state, and no matter what we get, we will always swing between happiness and sadness. Just look at the miserable rich people out there. In terms of income, it has been shown that once we have a roof over our heads and food on the table, increasing amounts of money cannot buy more happiness.
2. Jealousy
Jealousy
Jealousy is unhappy and angry feeling at other’s progress. If we think we couldn’t do what a next person does, we become angry with his progress that is jealousy. For example when the mother gives delicious food to a small baby it makes the old child jealous. Sometime we become jealous even at out friend’s progress. It is a human nature to be jealous. But it shouldn’t be destructive. We should take it as for the encouragement of our own progress. If we only burn at the other’s progress, we could do nothing in our life and it would be harmful to us. For example when a boy is walking with another girl, his girlfriend becomes jealous. In films and plays we see that they become take revenge due to jealousy. If we become much jealous, it will ruin our life.

Q. A friend has written to you, saying he/she is on a strict diet and is eating very little, but that he/she is still putting on weight. Write a reply, explaining what he or she is doing wrong and giving some good advice.
Bhuwachide;
Mushicoat municipality Date:2075/08/19
Dear Nabina,
I got your letter yesterday. I got to know your problem of putting of weight. You had written that you were on a strict diet and eating little.
I think you have done something wrong in it. You perhaps don’t know how to lose your weight. At first you shouldn’t eat that food which contains fat and calories. You should reduce eating carbohydrate, meat and other oily food. The best way to reduce weight is to do physical exercise and yoga. Yoga would give you relief by making your body attractive and healthy. You can do jogging and you can go to the yoga center. If you try this for a month you surely lose your weight. I hope you will surely follow my suggestion. I hope I will get your reply soon. Yours friend Arun panthi

Q. Write a review for a newspaper of a recent film, play or book.
Munamadan: A historical Film of Nepal
I’ve recently watch the film ‘Munamadan’. It is a Nepali film. I’ve watched it in a computer through CD. This film really represents the picture of Nepalese youths who goes to the foreign countries leaving their family. Laxmi Prasad Devkota wrote the book Munamadan as a song, later the story is converted into a film. It is a historical and realistic film of Nepal. It is a tragedy, based on Nepal's most famous epic poem. Madan, a lower-class worker, is forced by poverty and mounting debts to go to Lhasa, Tibet, leaving behind his lonely mother and beloved wife, Muna. However, tragedy befalls him on the way home.
In this film, Madan, a poor Nepalese youth goes to Lhasa to earn some money leaving his dearest wife Muna and his very old mother at his house. He earned money there. When he was coming to his house, he became sick on the way. But his friends left him alone there. A bhote meets min at night and took him to his house. He makes Madan healthy and he comes back to his house. At that time his mother and his wife were already dead in his memory. The film ends with the pathetic scene. It touches everybody’s heart.
In this film, Deepak Tripathi is in the role of Madan and Usha Paudel is in the role of Muna. This film was directed by Gynendra Bdr. Deuja.This film has presented the typical Nepali theme of poverty and family love. The plot, dialogue and setting of the film are realistic. The songs are so heart touching and the decoration, costumes and dresses are all traditional one. I like to request all to watch this film at once because it teaches us about ourselves.

Dear Nisha,
I got your kind letter yesterday and I became extremely happy knowing about your computer
institute where you are studying. I’m going to write you about a language institute where I am learning
English language.
I think this Oasis Language Institute is the best institute of Nepalgunj. Only the experienced
language instructors are there to teach us. They always tell us not to feel any hesitation to speak English
whether it could be mistake while speaking. If we feel hesitation, we couldn’t speak it. They also focus on
practice rather than the theory of English language. They use audio and visual teaching materials to
teach us. Sometimes we have to talk with the tourists who come there. Sometimes the foreigners also
take classes. Group discussion is basically focused to learn language. There is a good environment of
learning English. I have been learning it for three months. I think I am improving my language than the
past. I think I will be fluent in English with in six months. If you like to learn English, I’d like you to
recommend this institute. I hope I will g et your reply soon.
Yours lovely friend

Mar 21 - Apr 20
There are times when developments and progress are in full swing, but there are days together when life seems to be stagnant; when nothing significant seems to be happening. This is one of those phase that will test your patience. Especially for professionals and businessmen, this period may prove to be highly challenging. The reason: Moon’s connection with Saturn and Ketu, and the two malefic patrolling the 10th House. However, Mercury shuffles in the cosmos and moves through the 9th House, in the company of Jupiter and Sun. This position seems highly supportive of better times ahead. Singles are likely to fall for an acquaintance or a family friend. Filmy though it may sound, you may visit him/her for one reason or the other to see/meet her/him. There are high chances of parents agreeing to your choice, giving consent for marriage.

Good things take time, but there are. times when we lose patience and start doubting our own efforts. You may encounter something similar this week. You may want to review your strategies and look for loopholes that may not be allowing desired results. Businessmen – refrain from taking-up new projects or going on a trip to rope in new customers as this phase may not provide you fruitful results. Also, a glitch/adversity/lack of motivation may affect your output. On the relationship front, your frank opinion may be considered as arrogance, which may hurt a dear one. Watch your words and tone before you speak, because it can, eventually cost you a relationship, says Ganesha. Be polite and show compassion towards the concerned person to reinstate harmony in the relationship. Health-wise, diabetics need to be careful and take care of their food habits.
