CBSE XI English sample paper
Section A
1. Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow :- (1x8
= 8 Marks)
Life is an institution. We have a principal, God, who looks over the entire working
of our life. He allots teacher, namely our parents, to guide us through this path.
We learn lessons and it is up to us whether we want to pass or fail. Every morning
we wake up and give a tick mark to the attendance file of our lives. The only
difference in this school of life is you cannot play truant even for a day! Though
from time to time one may doze off and not pay heed to the message that is being
given to us.
From the start my parents taught me and my sister to be good human beings first.
Life has been kind, sometimes harsh but mostly fair. We make many mistakes,
some of which we admit and others, we conceal. But now that i'm 22 years old,
i can review every step taken by me.
Think positive. Yes, it's that simple. Thoughts are actions. Imagine if there are a
billion good thoughts, the universe will throw back a billion good actions.
Something within tells me : 'Forget the world and listen to your heart'. If we all
just start listening to our inner soul maybe we won't scratching our heads while
taking the final exam. I am not at all close to being perfect but i know i want to
get near it....... not by matering the business world, not by buying perfect self
according to me.... is kind, compassionate, and empathetic one who sees the good
in people and shares the good within themselves.
The true test is for us to examine, and to be honest to overselves before we give
a tick mark to our answer sheets. I had a lot of questiosns ready, my doubt all
written, point by point ......... since i could not get the answer from my teachers
i made an appointment with God. Doubts about life love death, fear, sorrow. i was
angry. Why cant' He guide us?
God was there by my side, every minute, every step. Even though i haven't gotten
all the answers i know i will get there.... He will take me there, in my own time,
the same way He has gotten me here, where i am now.
Some say one should never pity nor envy anyone else..... and i am happy to be
me. The first important teaching to learn, count your blessings. We all stand to be
a little more aware about what life is really trying to teach us... . and for some be
aware that life is trying to teach us something.
Money is like our grades in school... it helps us move to the next steps but after
that, who remembers what we scored in maths in the third standard? People forget
that when we die........ money does not come along with us. It becomes like our
grades, we don't remember how much we earned or how much we lost. Families
fight, friendships are ruined; parent child bonds are broken. Isn't that a waste.........
why would anyover choose paper over love?
Here's plea for whoever is reading this ........... let us all try and be the best pupils
in this school called life. Be true .... love not only others but also yourself Love
God wholeheartedly because that's all He wants, and you know what they say.
"Be in his good books and you will go to the head of the class."
A) Choose the correct option :-
a) All our questions can be answered by
(i) Parent
(ii) Friends
(iii) Good
(iv) Ourselves
b) We can be good pupils by :-
(i) Loving ourselves
(ii) Loving others
(iii) Both a and b
(iv) Only a
Answer the following questions :-
(c) How is God equal to a principal?
(d) What is the difference between life at school and school of life?
(e) Why are good thoughts compared to good actions?
(f) 'Money is like our grades in school.' 'Explain'?
(g) Pick out a word similar in meaning to :-' Correct/right.'
(h) Pick out a word opposite in meaning to :- 'uncover'
2. Read the following passage and answer the question that follow :- (7 marks)
1. How often do we exclaim : "That was a mistake!" That bewildered expression
of regret and panic gets relayed through life. Some mistakes we forget, others we
don't The mistakes can be mundane as forgetting to turn the geyser off or to pick
up your passport from the airport counter.
2. Absent mindeness, preoccupation, distraction carelessness, nervousness there
are umpteen excuses to justify mistakes. However major decisions like relocations
of home of an unwarranted resignation letter can cause much trouble and upheaval
and lead to regrets that leave you sad and depressed. Some mistkaes are irreversible- then is there room for hope?
3. In fact, there are no mistakes, only experiences. There are no problems only
challenges. Every experience teaches us something in life Every mistake inspires
retrospection and introspection. The experience is humbling and it makes us wiser.
That is, if every mistake is regarded as an experience and not as a source of self- condemnation. Many times people are unable to reconcile with the change grooved
in the blame culture and rooted in the past, ther had to realise the life time benefits
they receive from changes.
4. Nature abounds in examples of flexibility and relocation in case of birds and
beasts. Scientific research in the behaviour of birds has confirmed this Birds,
animals and even nomads, travel miles and miles in search of better food, congenial
climate and safety. These relocations may cause some amount of stress, no doubt,
but they are the source of survival: helping to group bonding and cooperation; and
to explore the beauty of new space and better environment.
5. To the weak problems are stumbling blocks, to the brave, they are stepping
stones." An untimely resignation and or termination letter is certainly traumatic
and disturbing. But think of possbilities it can throw open for you. A young man
felt disappointed when he failed an interview for a corporate job. At that point of
time, he left dejected. Today, looking back he says, "It was a blessing in disguise.
I would have never reached this far." Some mistkaes bring in a very important
message. "Believe and achieve! And in order to do so, faith is essential. It is the
triple faith that men need today. faith in ovne self, faith in onveslef faith in the
world around us, and above all faith in God!"
