The World of Limitless Possibilities: Class 9 English Chapter 5 Hinglish mein

Jab zindagi tumhe gira deti hai to tum kya karte ho? Kuch log gire hi reh jaate hain. Kuch uthte hain aur chal dete hain. Kuch hi log uthkar us girne ko kisi badi cheez ki shuruaat bana dete hain. Kaveri ki Unit 5 isi teesre type ke insaan ke baare mein hai, aur us kindness ke baare mein bhi jo logon ko upar uthne mein madad karti hai.

Is unit mein do texts hain. Pehla, The World of Limitless Possibilities, Dr Deepa Malik ka interview hai, jo Paralympic medal jeetne wali pehli Indian woman hain. Doosra, David Roth ki poem Nine Gold Medals, ek race ki kahani sunati hai jismein aath runners ek nauvein runner ki madad ke liye ruk jaate hain. Pehle har text apni NCERT book mein padho. Phir yeh page tumhe summaries, meanings, grammar, writing aur exam-style practice se le chalta hai, answers ke saath.

5.1 Before You Read: Paralympic Games

Unit ki shuruaat Sheetal Devi ki ek photograph se hoti hai, jo Jammu and Kashmir ke Kishtwar district ki ek para-archer hain. Unka janm 2007 mein bina arms ke hua, phir bhi woh sabse ooche level par compound archery mein compete karti hain. Unhe January 2024 mein Arjuna Award mila. Paris 2024 Paralympics mein unhone aur Rakesh Kumar ne mixed team compound event mein bronze medal jeeta.

Paralympic Games duniya ka sabse bada multi-sport event hai un athletes ke liye jinhe physical, visual ya intellectual impairment hai. Yeh naam Greek word para se aaya hai, jiska matlab hai ‘beside’ (bagal mein): yeh Games Olympics ke saath-saath chalte hain. Seoul 1988 se Summer Paralympics usi host city mein hote hain jahan Summer Olympics hote hain, unke kuch hafte baad shuru hote hain. Olympics ki tarah, Summer aur Winter Games hote hain, aur dono har chaar saal mein hote hain.

Paralympic ki kahani Second World War ke baad ek doctor ke idea se shuru hui aur ek global event ban gayi, jismein aaj India darjanon medals jeetta hai. Milestones dekhne ke liye Fig. 5.1 ko step by step dekho.

5.2 Reading for Meaning: The Interview

5.2.1 Dr Deepa Malik se milo

Dr Deepa Malik ka janm 1970 mein Haryana mein hua. 1999 mein, jab woh 29 saal ki thin, unki spine mein ek tumour mila, aur uske baad hui surgeries ne unhe waist ke neeche paralysed kar diya. Iske baad unhone swimming mein aur phir throwing events mein compete kiya, aur Rio 2016 Paralympics mein shot put mein silver jeeta. Unke honours mein Arjuna Award (2012), Padma Shri (2017) aur Khel Ratna (2019) shaamil hain. 2020 se 2024 tak woh Paralympic Committee of India ki President rahin.

Yeh text ek interview hai: aisi baatcheet jismein ek insaan questions poochhta hai aur doosra unke answers deta hai. Print mein yeh ek play ki tarah likha jaata hai, har speaker ka naam uski baat se pehle. Har answer Dr Malik ki kahani ka ek hissa jodta hai, isliye hum ise answer by answer follow karenge.

5.2.2 Interview, answer by answer

Opening. Interview shuru hone se pehle text scene set karta hai. Yeh Paralympics ko un athletes ka celebration batata hai jo mushkilon ko haraate hain aur saabit karte hain ki disability talent ki limit tay nahi karti. Humein pata chalta hai ki India ne pehli baar 1968 mein hissa liya aur apna pehla medal, swimming mein, 1972 mein jeeta. Phir Dr Malik ka introduction hota hai: teen national honours wali ek Paralympian, jinki misaal poore desh ke young athletes ko inspire karti hai.

Woh upar kaise uthin? Interviewer batata hai ki International Paralympic Committee unhe duniya ki sabse inspiring women para-athletes mein ginti hai, aur poochhta hai ki woh yahan tak kaise pahunchin. Unka answer 29 saal ki umar se shuru hota hai. Spine mein tumour, ek operation, aur phir usse bhi buri khabar: woh phir kabhi chal nahi paayengi. Do raaste khule the, ek pachhtaave ka aur ek dobara banane ka, aur unhone dobara banana chuna. Kyunki sport pehle se unka passion tha, aur swimming unke past ka hissa, isliye para-athletics agla seedha step tha. Rio 2016 mein unka breakthrough aaya, shot put mein silver medal. Ab woh us medal ko ek personal jeet maanti hain jisne disability ke baare mein purane ideas ko bhi hila diya.

Honours ka matlab kya hai? Unhe trailblazer kehte hue interviewer ‘firsts’ ki ek lambi list ki taraf ishaara karta hai. Inmein shaamil hain: kisi woman ka jeeta hua India ka pehla Paralympic medal, aur kisi Indian woman para-athlete ka jeeta hua pehla Asian Games athletics medal. Dr Malik ke liye awards trophies se zyada saboot ke roop mein maayne rakhte hain. Yeh unke is yakeen ko support karte hain ki body kya nahi kar sakti, isse yeh kabhi tay nahi hota ki insaan kya haasil kar sakta hai; is idea ko woh ‘ability beyond disability’ kehti hain.

Sabse mushkil challenges kya the? Unka answer tumhe hairaan kar sakta hai: sabse kathin ladaai doosre logon ki kam ummeedon se thi. Unhe galat saabit karne ke liye strong muscles jitna hi strong mind bhi chahiye tha. Family ke saath aur apni himmat ke bal par unhone har challenge ko ek opportunity aur har obstacle ko ek stepping stone ki tarah dekhna seekha.

Kya sport soch badal sakta hai? Haan, woh kehti hain, aur unki apni zindagi iska saboot hai: Paralympics ne unhe ek nayi shuruaat di aur unhe woh banaya jo woh aaj hain. Badi tasveer mein, jo audience para-athletes ko jee-jaan se aur achha compete karte dekhti hai, use apni assumptions chhodni padti hain. Saamne ka saboot dikhata hai ki disabilities wale log kisi bhi doosre ke barabar, ya usse aage bhi, ho sakte hain.

Sport ke alawa unka role kya hai? Woh kehti hain ki doosron ke liye awaaz uthana unke mission ka core hai. Aaj unka kaam kai morchon par phaila hai:

• disabilities wale logon ki emotional well-being;
• women ke liye confidence ka raasta bante outdoor aur adventure sports;
• garib families ke para-athletes ke liye madad, sports equipment samet;
• schools aur colleges mein awareness sessions, kyunki young log hi kal ko shape karenge.

In sab ka ek hi maqsad hai: aisa society jismein kisi ki ability yeh tay na kare ki use kitna respect ya kitne mauke milenge.

Unki salaah kya hai? Unki nazar mein setback bas ek stage hai jis par tum apni taakat dikha sakte ho. Un logon ka sahara lo jo tum par vishwas karte hain, khud par vishwas rakho, aur apni kahani se doosron ko upar uthao. Unki aakhri baat disability ko hi naye nazariye se dikhati hai: yeh ek pinjra nahi, balki ek chhupi hui taakat hai.

Fig. 5.2 unki kahani ko ek staircase mein badal deta hai. Har slab unke safar ka ek stage hai, aur har stage apne neeche wale stage par tika hai.

5.2.3 Key moments ko samjho

Raaste ka do-raaha. Interview ka dil ek faisla hai. Doctors ne unhe bataya tha ki unhe zindagi bhar wheelchair ki zaroorat hogi. Woh apne saal pachhtaave mein bita sakti thin; iske bajaay unhone dobara banana chuna. Text ka title isi pal se aata hai: unhone limitless possibilities ki ek duniya chuni.

Rio 2016 do baar kyun maayne rakhta tha. Silver medal saalon ki mehnat ke baad ek personal jeet thi. Saath hi yeh public saboot bhi tha ki wheelchair mein baithi ek woman India ke liye Paralympic medal jeet sakti hai. Isiliye woh ise soch badalne se jodti hain: jinhone unhe dekha, woh ab yeh nahi maan sakte the ki disability ka matlab bebasi hai.

‘Ability beyond disability’. Yeh phrase unke nazariye ka saar hai. Yeh nahi kehta ki disability asli nahi hai. Yeh kehta hai ki insaan ki abilities us cheez se zyada maayne rakhti hain jo woh nahi kar sakta, aur society ko pehli cheez par dhyaan dena chahiye, doosri par nahi.

Obstacles stepping stones ki tarah. Stepping stone tumhe ek naala paar karne mein madad karta hai. Jab woh obstacles ko stepping stones kehti hain, to unka matlab hai ki har mushkil aisi cheez ban gayi jis par khade hokar aage badha ja sake. Yahan unki family ka support maayne rakhta tha, kyunki jab log tumhare saath khade hon to resilience aasaan ho jaati hai.

Youth, kal ki awaaz. Unke awareness sessions jaan-boojhkar schools aur colleges ko target karte hain. Jo young log jaldi har tarah ki ability ka respect karna seekhte hain, woh bade hokar zyada fair workplaces, playgrounds aur cities banayenge.

5.2.4 Themes aur message

• Resilience: zindagi badal dene wale setback se choice, mehnat aur support ke zariye wapas uthna.
• Stereotypes todna: sport logon ko dikhata hai ki para-athletes kya kar sakte hain, aur disability ke baare mein bane-banaaye ideas toot jaate hain.
• Inclusion aur dignity: ek fair society har kisi ko, chahe uski ability kuch bhi ho, respect aur ek asli mauka deti hai.
• Sport mein women: world lists mein top par pahunchi ek woman para-athlete ek saath do stereotypes ko challenge karti hai.
• Wapas dena: success sabse zyada tab maayne rakhti hai jab woh doosron ke liye darwaaze kholti hai.

Message: limits aksar soch se tay hoti hain, body se nahi. Determination, support aur ek fair mauke ke saath har insaan apni possibilities ki duniya dhoondh sakta hai.

5.2.5 Jaanne layak words

5.3 Check Your Understanding and Critical Reflection

5.3.1 Fact file

Factual questions yeh test karte hain ki tum details jaldi dhoondh paate ho ya nahi. Interview ko skim karke numbers, names aur years dhoondho: yahi fact file ke anchors hain. Pehle yeh questions yaad se karke dekho, phir text check karo.

5.3.2 Fact ya opinion?

Fact ko check karke true ya false saabit kiya ja sakta hai: koi date, score, record, ya koi event jo hua. Opinion batata hai ki koi kya maanta, mehsoos karta ya judge karta hai. Doosre log usse asehmat ho sakte hain, aur koi record is sawaal ka faisla nahi kar sakta.

Interview mein yeh dono har waqt mile-jule rehte hain. Dr Malik apni zindagi ke facts batati hain, phir batati hain ki unke liye unka kya matlab tha. Achhe readers is badlaav ko notice karte hain. Opinions aksar I feel, I believe aur in my view jaise signal words ke saath aate hain, ya best, finest aur wonderful jaise judge karne wale words ke saath. Facts mein aksar dates, numbers aur names hote hain.

5.3.3 Cause aur effect

Cause woh hai jiski wajah se kuch hota hai; effect woh hai jo uske nateeje mein hota hai. Linking words connection dikhate hain: because, so, as a result, therefore, since aur led to. Kabhi koi linking word nahi hota, aur link tumhe khud samajhna padta hai.

Ek statement fact bhi ho sakta hai aur kisi cause–effect pair ka hissa bhi, kyunki dono skills alag sawaal poochhti hain. Fact ya opinion poochhta hai: kya ise saabit kiya ja sakta hai? Cause and effect poochhta hai: kya ek cheez doosri tak le jaati hai?

5.3.4 Critical reflection: extracts aur long answers

Critical reflection questions tumse words se aage sochne ko kehte hain: infer karna, tone judge karna, ideas ko jodna aur unhe zindagi se connect karna. Exams mein do tarah ke questions aate hain. Extract questions ek passage dikhate hain aur uspar chaar-paanch chhote questions poochhte hain. Long answers mein text ko explain, evaluate ya apni zindagi se relate karna hota hai.

1. Questions dekhne se pehle poora extract ek baar padho.
2. Har question ke liye woh exact sentence dhoondho jiske baare mein woh hai.
3. Apne words mein answer do; koi word ya phrase tabhi quote karo jab question maange.
4. Why wale question mein text se reason do, phir ek line mein use samjhao.
5. Length ko marks ke hisaab se rakho: ek mark ke liye ek line, do ya teen marks ke liye teen-chaar lines.

Tone questions aksar aate hain. Tone speaker ka attitude hai, jo word choice se dikhta hai. Yeh tone words seekh lo; yeh tumhe interview aur poem dono mein milenge.

5.4 Vocabulary and Structures in Context

5.4.1 Interview ke phrases

Interview mein kai jaandaar phrases hain. Har ek kuch hi words mein poora idea pack kar deta hai, isiliye writers inhe pasand karte hain. Inka matlab seekho, phir inhe apni speaking aur writing mein use karo.

5.4.2 Word cline: movement ke words

Word cline milte-julte matlab wale words ko unki intensity ke order mein lagata hai, jaise kisi dhalaan par points. Warm aur boiling dono garmi batate hain, lekin ek bahut zyada strong hai. Words ko cline par rakhne se tumhe bilkul sahi word chunne mein madad milti hai (Fig. 5.4).

Interview mein sprinting aata hai, jo bahut tez movement ka word hai, aur NCERT tumse movement words ke ek set ko cline par lagane ko kehta hai. Yahan har word ka matlab hai, speed ke hisaab se group kiya hua. Kuch words bahut paas-paas hain (amble, stroll aur saunter teenon ka matlab aaraam se chalna hai), isliye tumhare order mein chhote fark theek hain, agar tum unhe samjha sako.

5.4.3 Modal auxiliaries

Modal auxiliaries helping verbs hain, jaise can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would aur must. Yeh main verb se pehle aate hain aur matlab mein ek shade jodte hain: ability, possibility, permission, advice, duty, request ya prediction. Ek hi modal alag-alag kaam kar sakta hai, isliye context batata hai ki uska function kya hai.

Modals ka form kabhi nahi badalta (coulds ya shoulding jaisa kuch nahi hota), aur unke baad aane wala verb hamesha base form mein hota hai: she could swim, she could swam nahi.

5.4.4 Direct aur reported speech

Interview direct speech mein likha hai: hum har speaker ke exact words padhte hain, ek play ki tarah. Iske zyaadatar sentences declarative hain: yeh poochhte, order dete ya exclaim karne ke bajaay statements dete hain. Kisi aur ko bina quote kiye batane ke liye ki kya kaha gaya, hum reported speech use karte hain, jise indirect speech bhi kehte hain.

Statement ko reported speech mein badalne ke liye kuch changes karne padte hain. Fig. 5.5 unhe ek-ek karke dikhata hai.

1. Reporting verb: said, told (jiske baad koi person aaye), replied, added, explained ya remarked use karo.
2. Quotation marks hata do aur linking word that jodo (bolne mein yeh aksar chhoot jaata hai).
3. Pronouns badlo taaki woh naye speaker ke hisaab se fit hon: I → he/she, my → his/her, we → they, you → I/me/he/she.
4. Jab reporting verb past mein ho, to tenses ko ek step peeche shift karo (table dekho).
5. Time aur place words badlo: now → then, today → that day, tomorrow → the next day, yesterday → the day before, last night → the previous night, next week → the following week, here → there, this → that.

Jab kuch shift nahi hota. Agar reporting verb present mein ho (says, tells), to tenses waise hi rakho: Riya says that she trains every morning. Jo facts hamesha sach hain, unka tense bhi nahi badalta: The teacher said that the Earth goes round the Sun. Aur jab must ek logical conclusion ho, to woh must hi rehta hai, jaise They must practise a lot mein.

5.5 Listen, Speak and Write

5.5.1 Suno aur jawab do

NCERT task mein tum special assembly ke baare mein ek school announcement sunte ho aur har gap mein ek ya do exact words bharte ho; script tumhare teacher ke paas hai. Yahi skill practise karne ke liye neeche wala announcement use karo. Ek partner use normal speed se ek baar zor se padhe, aur tum bina dekhe suno.

5.5.2 Speaking: formal aur informal interviews

Interview ka style is par depend karta hai ki tum kisse baat kar rahe ho. Kisi dost ke saath, jaise tumhare school ka Sports Captain, informal style natural hai: first names, short forms (you're, what's) aur simple, gappon jaise questions. Kisi teacher ya coach ke saath formal style chuno: polite greeting, full forms, aur Could you tell us…? ya Would you describe…? jaise openers.

5.5.3 Notice likhna

Notice ek chhota, formal message hai jo logon ke kisi group ke liye lagaya jaata hai: ek class, ek school ya ek housing society. Yeh kisi event, competition ya badlaav ki ghoshna karta hai, ya kisi khoyi ya mili cheez ki khabar deta hai. Log aate-jaate notices jaldi padhte hain, isliye achha notice chhota (lagbhag 50 words), saaf, aur box mein hota hai taaki alag dikhe.

Fig. 5.6 wala format follow karo. Body mein five Ws ke answers do: kya ho raha hai, kab, kahan, kaun hissa le sakta hai, aur kaise ya kab tak jawab dena hai. Simple, impersonal sentences use karo, aur Dear students jaise greetings mat likho.

5.5.4 Text se aage seekhna

Part two: poem. Ab hum interview mein sunayi gayi ek sachchi kahani se verse mein sunayi gayi kahani ki taraf badhte hain. Interview ne dikhaya ki haar na maanna bhi taakat hai. Poem ek aur tarah ki taakat jodti hai: kindness chunna, tab bhi jab uski keemat chukaani pade.

5.6 Nine Gold Medals: Before You Read

5.6.1 Olympics, Paralympics, Special Olympics

Log aksar Olympics, Paralympics aur Special Olympics ko mila dete hain. Inki spirit ek hai lekin yeh alag-alag athletes ke liye hain. Special Olympics movement 1968 mein United States mein Eunice Kennedy Shriver ne shuru kiya, aur uske pehle international Games usi saal Chicago mein hue.

5.6.2 Sympathy, empathy aur compassion

Yeh teenon words mushkil mein pade kisi insaan ki parwaah karne ko describe karte hain, lekin har ek pichhle wale se zyada gehra hai (Fig. 5.7). Sympathy kisi ke liye bura mehsoos karna hai. Empathy unke saath mehsoos karna hai: khud ko unki jagah rakh kar unki feelings ko andar se samajhna. Compassion ek step aage jaata hai: yeh woh empathy hai jo tumhe madad karne ke liye aage badhati hai.

Roz ki zindagi mein fark aisa dikhta hai. Kisi classmate ki bicycle chori ho gayi hai. ‘That's terrible, I'm sorry’ sympathy hai. ‘I know how upset you must be; I'd feel the same’ empathy hai. ‘Come, I'll walk home with you and help you report it’ compassion hai.

Log empathy se jo words jodte hain unmein understanding, listening, kindness, patience, respect, sensitivity aur putting yourself in someone's shoes shaamil hain. List mein apne words bhi jodo.

5.7 Nine Gold Medals: Reading for Appreciation

5.7.1 Poet ke baare mein

David Roth ek American folk singer-songwriter hain jo perform karte hain, songwriting sikhaate hain aur music retreats chalate hain. Nine Gold Medals unke ek song ke roop mein shuru hua tha, aur iske words popular Chicken Soup for the Soul books mein dobara chhape gaye hain. Song se shuru hone ki wajah se hi poem mein ek steady beat aur kahani sunane wale ki awaaz hai.

5.7.2 Poem ek nazar mein

• Form: ek narrative poem (aisi poem jo kahani sunati hai), chaar lines ke aath stanzas mein, ballad ki tarah. Zyaadatar stanzas mein doosri aur chauthi line rhyme karti hain ya lagbhag rhyme karti hain.
• Speaker: ek storyteller jo humse seedhe baat karta hai aur zor deta hai ki kahani sachchi hai.
• Setting: Special Olympics meet mein ek purana sports field, din ke aakhri event ke dauraan, ek hundred-yard dash (lagbhag 91 metres).
• Characters: nau young runners, jinmein sabse chhota gir jaata hai; woh aath jo uski madad karte hain; aur dekhti hui crowd.

5.7.3 Stanza by stanza

Har stanza apni book mein padho, phir yahan uska explanation padho. Explanations kahani ke saath chalte hain, lekin unka focus is par hai ki har stanza kya karta hai, sirf kya kehta hai us par nahi.

Stanza 1: kya daav par hai. Humein athletes ke baare mein sirf do baatein pata chalti hain, woh kahan se aaye hain aur unhone kitni mehnat se taiyaari ki hai, aur dono se medals keemti lagte hain. Yeh stanza film ke opening shot ki tarah kaam karta hai, chauda aur halchal bhara, aur humein ek kadi takkar ki ummeed karwata hai.

Stanza 2: audience. Focus athletes se hatkar unhe dekhne wale logon par jaata hai. Yeh batakar ki yeh din ka aakhri event hai, poet humein crowd ke saath intezaar karwata hai, aur josh bhara mood badhta jaata hai.

Stanza 3: thama hua pal. Ab jaakar humein race (hundred-yard dash) aur runners ki ginti pata chalti hai: nau. Stanza unhe gun chalne se theek pehle wale second mein, determined aur ready, rok kar rakhta hai. Resolved aur poised jaise words is ruke hue pal ko tense banate hain, isliye baad ka action aur bhi tez lagta hai.

Stanza 4: girna. Yeh sabse zyada action wala stanza hai, aur yeh word but par mudta hai. Ek hi verb ka chaturaai bhara double use gun aur runners dono ko ek saath explode karta dikhata hai. Phir camera aage wale runners ko chhodkar sabse chhote runner ke peeche jaata hai, jab uska pair phisalta hai aur woh sakht track par gir jaata hai.

Stanza 5: sabse neecha point. Ladke ki cheekh aur dhool mein padi uski ummeedon ki tasveer dikhati hai ki uski niraasha kitni poori hai. Phir storyteller kahani ke beech mein humse seedhe baat karta hai aur aage hone wali baat ki guarantee deta hai. Yeh rukawat ek hook hai: kuch khaas hone wala hai.

Stanza 6: turning point. Poet humein yaad dilata hai ki baaki runners ne kitne lambe samay tak training ki hai, taaki hum mehsoos karein ki rukkar wapas jaane mein woh kitna kuch chhod rahe hain. Ladke ko uthana poem ka pehla kaam hai jo jeetne ke baare mein nahi hai. Yahan se kahani ko kindness aage badhati hai.

Stanza 7: ek naye tarah ki race. Speed ka koi matlab nahi rehta; uski jagah saath hona le leta hai. Storyteller humara dhyaan upar lage Special Olympics banner ki taraf le jaata hai aur use perfect fit kehta hai, kyunki runners ne abhi-abhi movement ke inclusion aur dignity ke ideals ko jee kar dikhaya hai.

Stanza 8: title ka matlab khulta hai. Ending mein title ke nau gold medals milte hain, aur crowd ki khade hokar taaliyan dikhati hain ki audience result se sehmat hai. Aakhri line mein poet maanta hai ki words, uske apne bhi, runners ki khushi ke aage chhote pad jaate hain: poem khatam karne ka ek humble tareeka.

Fig. 5.8 track par race ko stanza by stanza follow karta hai. Runners simple markers hain; square wala sabse chhota runner hai.

5.7.4 Theme aur message

Central theme hai competition se upar compassion. Race ek winner dhoondhne ke liye hoti hai, phir bhi yeh runners apne hi ek saathi ko uthaane ke liye apne chances chhod dete hain. Poem jeet ke aam idea ko ulta kar deti hai: race na karke nau ke nau jeet jaate hain.

Ismein aur ideas bhi hain: sportsmanship, unity, dignity aur inclusion, yahi values Special Olympics ke liye khade hain. Poem dikhati hai ki sachchi success kindness se naapi jaati hai, seconds se nahi.

Message: jeet sabse zyada tab maayne rakhti hai jab sab saath jeetein, aur gire hue ki madad karna kisi bhi medal se zyada keemti hai.

Kya yeh sach mein hua tha? Is kahani ke versions dashakon se alag-alag jagahon aur saalon ke saath sunaaye jaate rahe hain, aur details confirm karna mushkil hai. Poem record books par depend nahi karti. Iski taakat is mein hai ki yeh humein kya imagine karne, aur kya karne, ko kehti hai.

5.8 Nine Gold Medals: Understanding and Reflection

5.8.1 Context mein words

5.8.2 Har stanza ka gist

Gist kisi stanza ki main baat hai, ek line mein. Har stanza ko uske gist se match karo; reader har baar lines ko shuffle kar deta hai.

5.8.3 Poem ko appreciate karna

Poets sounds aur tasveeron ko bhi utne hi dhyaan se chunte hain jitna words ko. Yahan Nine Gold Medals ke main devices hain aur har ek kya karta hai.

Imagery poem ko dilchasp banati hai kyunki yeh humein race ko jeene deti hai. Humein sirf yeh nahi pata chalta ki ek ladka gira; hum use sakht track par dekhte hain aur uski cheekh sunte hain. Isliye jab aath runners wapas mudte hain, to hum wahi hairaani aur garmahat mehsoos karte hain jo crowd ne ki. Alliteration key moments ko kaanon mein goonjane laayak banakar ismein aur jodta hai.

Tone aur mood. Tone poet ka attitude hai; mood woh feeling hai jo poem reader mein jagati hai. Shuru mein storyteller crowd aur runners ko describe karte hue josh bhara aur ummeed bhara lagta hai. Girne par tone serious aur tense ho jaati hai. Stanza 6 se yeh garm, taareef bhari aur khushi bhari ho jaati hai. Overall mood uplifting aur dil ko chhoo lene wala hai (Fig. 5.9).

Message. Poem humse kehti hai ki success ko is baat se naapo ki hum doosron ke saath kaisa vyavhaar karte hain. Yeh compassion, unity aur Special Olympics ki inclusive spirit ka jashn manati hai, aur dikhati hai ki saath mili jeet sabse badi jeet ho sakti hai.

5.8.4 Critical reflection practice

Extract questions ke liye Section 5.3.4 wale steps use karo. Poem mein stanzas ko unke number se refer karo, aur samjhao ki poet ke words kya suggest karte hain, sirf yeh nahi ki woh kya kehte hain.

5.9 Nine Gold Medals: Vocabulary in Context

5.9.1 Collocations

Collocation words ka aisa combination hai jise bolne wale aadatan saath rakhte hain. Hum heavy rain kehte hain, strong rain nahi, aur standing ovation, standing applause nahi. Grammar ajeeb pair ko mana nahi karti; bas woh natural nahi lagta. Poem mein aur bhi adjective–noun collocations hain, jaise beaming faces aur final event.

Collocations seekhne se tumhari English fluent lagti hai. Fig. 5.10 dikhata hai ki ek adjective kuch khaas nouns ke saath kaise judta hai, aur milte-julte matlab wale words hamesha ek doosre ki jagah kyun nahi le sakte.

5.9.2 Sahi, precise adjective chunna

Achhe writers woh adjective chunte hain jo bilkul fit ho. Very good, nice ya very big jaise dhundhle phrase ki jagah aksar ek precise word aa sakta hai jo matlab aur situation dono se mel khaata ho.

• very tired → exhausted
• very loud → deafening
• very good → remarkable
• very happy → delighted
• very old → ancient

5.10 Nine Gold Medals: Listen, Speak and Write

5.10.1 Suno aur jawab do

NCERT task special athletes ke ek coach ke baare mein radio talk hai; script tumhare teacher ke paas hai. Neeche wale talk se yeh skill practise karo. Pehle ki tarah, ek partner script zor se padhe aur tum bina dekhe suno.

5.10.2 Speaking: apna point of view share karna

Discussion mein tumhe do tarah ke phrases chahiye: ek jo doosre ki raay poochhein, aur ek jo apni raay batayein. Inhe badal-badal kar use karo, taaki har baar I think na kehna pade.

Model exchange. Asha: What are your thoughts on the Special Olympics? Vikram: As I see it, they matter because they give every athlete a fair chance to compete. Asha: I agree. Would you say they change the athletes themselves? Vikram: Definitely. To my mind, the confidence they gain carries over into school and work too.

5.10.3 Slogans likhna

Slogan ek chhoti, yaad rehne wali line hai jo kisi cause ya idea ka saar batati hai. Sabse achhe slogans ek hi baar padhne ke baad dimaag mein reh jaate hain, isliye das words se kam rakho.

1. Ek idea chuno jo tum chahte ho ki log yaad rakhein (jaise, ki har athlete ki jagah hai).
2. Usse jude words jama karo: together, every, ability, heart, finish line.
3. Sound aur shape ke saath khelo: rhyme, alliteration, contrast, ya aisa verb jo logon ko action ke liye bulaye (Join…, Cheer…).
4. Zor se padho aur har gair-zaroori word hata do.

5.10.4 Poster design karna

Poster ek hi sheet par slogan, picture aur key information ko jodta hai, aur aise design hota hai ki door se hi nazar kheench le. Ise zones mein plan karo, jaise Fig. 5.11 mein.

• Tay karo ki dekhne walon ko kaun si ek cheez zaroor yaad rehni chahiye, aur poster ko usi ke around banao.
• Slogan ko sabse bada text banao, jo teen metre door se padha ja sake.
• Ek hi picture ko kaam karne do; bheed-bhaad message ko chhupa deti hai.
• Details chhoti rakho: date, time, jagah aur kaun aa sakta hai.
• Do ya teen contrasting colours chuno, kuch khaali jagah chhodo, aur poster ke charon taraf border banao.

5.10.5 Text se aage seekhna
