NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Chapter 11: Class Discussion

A class discussion was going on in the class.

Jane was the quiet one in the class.

(iv) She was quiet by nature.

I always participate actively in discussions. I speak up every time the teacher asks for answers.

Rakesh and Satvik have been my classmates since the first standard. Though they are very good friends of mine, there are several differences in their nature. Rakesh is quite in nature. He is very studious and always known for his excellent performance in the class. On the other hand, Satvik is very careless yet lively in nature and is known to be helpful to anybody in need. Rakesh is a regular student who never misses his class and is very disciplined in nature. Satvik, on the other hand, is very cheerful and friendly in nature. He is so naughty that everybody needs to be alert lest he may play some prank on them.

Bhimsen, a resident of Kala Manjha village of UP had received the national bravery award for his extraordinary show of courage. Bhimsen was just 12 years old when he became the local hero of his village. On 16th November 2014, a boat packed with 34 people was sailing on the Saryu river when suddenly the boat hit a rock and toppled over and all the passengers fell into the river and were drowning fast. Bhimsen also known as Sonu was by the river fishing when he saw the incident. He was quick to react and call for help. He then dove in the river and saved the life of 14 people without caring for his own life.

Bhimsen belongs to a poor family and arranging for meal twice a day had been a challenge for his father Rajman. However, his father had been very happy for this announcement of reward. The award was presented to him on 26th January by the Prime Minister.

I like this story of the of Bhimsen as he bravery saved many lives and I hope I could be able to do the same someday.
