i The holiday I enjoyed the most

Holidays are a routine affair in the passage of any school year. It is not all holidays long or short that we are able to enjoy. Sometimes we are burdened with exams coming after holidays, while at other times a problem in the family makes it difficult for us to step out of the house during vacations.

However, at times we have such a memorable time in the holidays that they leave an indelible mark on our minds. One such holiday I still remember enjoying and that was when I was in the third standard, four years back.

These were the long summer vacations of the year 1995 when my mother planned the holidays at the home of my maternal grandparents. At first, when the suggestion had come, I remember I was not too happy about the programme.

I wondered what I would do with and in the company of my old grandparents, and that also for two whole months. With a lot of grieving and objections, I finally gave in and agreed to the proposal. I was however sure that, I was in for a lot of boredom instead of enjoyment and pleasure.

Finally the day came when we had to leave for Bombay where my grandparents live, and much against my hopes of having a good holiday, we boarded the train. The journey was very comfortable but, all the time I was brooding as to what I will do in Bombay. Soon the journey came to an end, and we reached Bombay and once there, I felt that I was in an alien place with no friends, no one to talk to and nowhere to go to.

I was absolutely disgusted with the very thought that, all the time I would only be surrounded with elders with their yeses and nos all the time piercing into my ears. This feeling of boredom persisted for two very long days till at last, I had a surprise of a pleasure on the third day when eight of my cousins also arrived there. Now, my pleasure knew no bounds as, aha! Now here was my peer group to play with. Now I knew there would be

Write a composition in about 300 words on any one of the following. 

i The holiday I enjoyed the most

ii Newspapers spread as much disinformation as information.

iii My favourite sport and why I enjoy it.

Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow:

I wonder why I do this each time I jump out the door. I leave the airplane with the ground 12,000 feet below me. I hover for a brief moment. Then the air rips at my clothes and hair as I fall 200 miles per hour towards the earth. I smile to myself. I do this because I enjoy it.

Only about 20 people in the U. S. do what I am doing. But I was the first. If you want to try this, you need a board three feet long and eleven inches wide, about the size and shape of a skateboard. It should have an aluminum honeycomb core, a graphite-fiber finish and rubber edges. My other equipment includes sports shoes, colourful tights and jacket, gloves, dark sun glasses and, of course, a parachute. I also have lots of training. This includes over 350 solo skydives and many hours of free fall time. With the specially designed board strapped to my feet I jump out of an airplane. The sport is called skysurfing.

During the sixty second free-fall before I open my parachute, I feel the sensation of skiing down a steep mountain or surfing the side of a huge ocean wave. The airplane is far above me as I turn and guide my board down through the clouds. Gravity pulls me through space closer and closer to the earth. I try to stay in control as the blasting wind hits my body. I fall through the sky upright and then maneuver my board across the sky just like a skier on a snow covered slope. This is only one of the tricks I have developed. Others include flips, spins and something I call the helicopter. When I do this, I fall head first with the board spinning above me.

I must not remain like this for long because only half of my free-fall time remains. I do one last flip and enjoy the view and the solitude while soaring through the clouds upside-down.

I look at the altimeter attached to my wrist. I am at the altitude where I must open my parachute. My sixty second ride down through the sky was so fast. As I complete my descent with my parachute open, I still enjoy the freedom that a bird must feel.

I release the board when I am five or six feet above the ground. This is so that I can glide down and land on my two feet.

 

1a Say whether the following statements are true or false:

  • i After the writer leaves the aircraft he stands in the air for a long while.
  • ii About twenty people in USA skysurf.
  • iii A skysurfer free-falls for only about one minute before opening his parachute.
