ON EXAMINATUON - UNIT 4 WITH MCQ

  Unit 4 Summary   Winston Churchill recalls that although he was in the lowest class at Harrow, he later became a Cabinet colleague of his schoolmate Amery. People found it surprising that, while he was considered dull in studies, he won a prize for perfectly reciting 1,200 lines of Macaulay’s ''Lays of Ancient Rome''. He also passed the preliminary Army examination, which many brighter boys failed. Churchill admits that this exam demanded great effort, but he was also lucky. The night before the exam, he practiced drawing the map of New Zealand, and the very next day the first question was to draw that map. This coincidence made him call his success an en plein—a gambling term meaning a lucky strike. His memory and luck earned him high marks. ୱିନ୍ସଟନ୍ ଚର୍ଚ୍ଚିଲ୍ ସ୍ମରଣ କରନ୍ତି ଯେ , ସେ ହାରୋରେ ସବୁଠାରୁ ନିମ୍ନତମ୍ କ୍ଲାସରେ ଥିଲେ , କିନ୍ତୁ ପରେ  ସହପାଠୀ ଏମେରିଙ୍କ ସହିତ କ୍ୟାବିନେଟ୍ ସହକର୍ମୀ ହୋଇଥିଲେ। ଲୋକମାନେ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ ହୋଇଥିଲେ କାରଣ ସେ ପଢ଼ାରେ ଦୁର୍ବଳ ହୋଇଥିଲେ , କିନ୍ତୁ ୧ , ୨୦୦ ଲାଇନ୍ର * Lay...

ON EXAMINATION UNIT 3 WITH MCQ

  UNIT 3 SUMMERY When the writer first went to Harrow, he was amazed to see a huge swimming bath, larger than anything he had ever seen. Boys spent long hours there, swimming, sunbathing, and eating big buns. A common prank was to push others into the pool unexpectedly.   One day, the writer pushed a boy standing thoughtfully at the edge, holding his towel so it would not get wet. To his shock, the boy turned out to be Amery, a powerful Sixth Form student, Head of his House, Gym champion, and football player. The writer, terrified and guilty, immediately apologized, saying he mistook him for a smaller boy. He added humor by comparing Amery’s small size to his own father’s.   Although Amery was angry at first, he eventually laughed and forgave him. Thus, the incident ended happily, teaching the writer a lesson about misjudging people by appearance. ଲେଖକ ପ୍ରଥମେ Harrow ବିଦ୍ୟାଳୟକୁ ଯାଇଥିବାବେଳେ ସେଠାରେ ବହୁତ ବଡ଼ ସ୍ୱିମିଙ୍ଗ ପୁଲ୍ ଦେଖିଲେ । ଛାତ୍ରମାନେ ସେଠାରେ ଦିନେକୁ ବହୁତ ସମୟ କାଟୁଥିଲ...
