3. Discuss and write the answers in your own words.
(1) Were the excuses given by Ritesh for his late arrival, true? Give reasons for your response.
Answer:
Ritesh came up with reasons for being late to school, but they didn't seem true because:
1. A man who seemed hurt on the ground suddenly started running after a thief.
2. Ritesh described the dog differently in two places.
3. He said he left his bag in a shop he hadn't entered before.
4. The story about the dog and its owner didn't sound believable.
5. He quickly solves each problem in his story (helping the person, chasing the thief, getting his bag, and dealing with the dog), which might make his story seem less real.
6. His teacher's response suggests that she might think the excuses are not true.
7. The whole story is full of drama, with things happening very fast. This can make it seem like Ritesh is trying to hide the fact that he was just late for school.
(2) Did the teacher believe Ritesh's stories? How do you know that?
Answer :
The teacher didn't appear to fully believe Ritesh's stories. We can tell this because of the way she responded when he began explaining why he was late. Instead of taking his words at face value, she made a somewhat playful comment, saying, "Nothing short of an earthquake, I'm sure." This comment showed that she might not have completely trusted his stories. While she didn't directly say that she thought he was lying, her response indicated that she had some doubts about the dramatic events he described. So, based on her tone and response, it seemed like the teacher had doubts about believing everything Ritesh was telling her.
(3) Why did the teacher suggest that Ritesh should enter the story-writing contest?
Answer:
The teacher playfully suggested that Ritesh should enter the story-writing contest. She did this with a bit of teasing in her tone because Ritesh had just shared a dramatic and imaginative story to explain his lateness. . So, it was a playful way of saying, "You're good at making up stories, why not try it in the contest?"
(4) What according to you is the best way to correct children, who are regularly to school?
Answer :
* Make sure the child understands the importance of punctuality and the impact it has on their education.
* If the child's lateness is due to factors beyond their control, involve their parents or guardians in finding solutions.
* Keep track of their attendance and improvements, and provide ongoing feedback and support.
