    ENGLISH YEARLY EXAM CLASS 8 STUDY

    MATERIAL 2021-22

    1) Unseen Passage

    Read the passage given-below and answer the questions that follow:
    The culture of nuclear families is in fashion. Parents are often heard
    complaining about the difficulties in bringing up children these days. Too
    much of freedom in demand, too much independence; overnight parties;
    excessive extravagance, splurging pocket money; no time for studies and
    family all this is a common cry of such families. Aren’t parents, themselves,
    responsible for this pitiful state? The basic need of a growing youth is the
    family, love, attention and bonding along with moral values. One should
    not forget that ‘charity begins at home’.
    Independence and individuality both need to be respected, in order to
    maintain the sanctity of family. Children, today are to be handled with tact
    in order to bridge the ever-widening generation gap. Only the reasonable
    demands need to be fulfilled, as there are too many expenses to be met and
    top many social obligations to be taken care of by the parents. Our
    forefathers lived happily in joint families. Children loved to live with their
    cousins, learnt to adjust within means. There was perfect harmony between
    the generations. There never existed the concept of old-age homes. There
    was deep respect for the family elders and love, care and concern for the
    youngsters. Even the minor family differences were solved amicably.
