Dear Teacher,

The Resource Material for English covers Classes I to VIII. It is an

attempt to empower the teacher with more activities which can be

used in the classroom. The need to master English has always been

felt and hence Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan decided to target the

elementary classes, so that students can be confident by the time

they reach the secondary stage. The heavy stress on writing, at the

cost of developing other language skills, has been one of the main

causes of our students’ poor communication skills. This book

attempts to redress the imbalance by adding inputs on developing

listening skills along with the other skills of reading, writing and

speaking.

Each Unit of the textbook is covered. The four core skills of

Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing are the focus points of the

material. Teachers can make copies of certain activities or

exercises for use in the classroom.

Teachers should use the Listening and Speaking skills, in particular,

so that our students are as comfortable using English as they are

their mother tongue. Feel free to select some activities or all of

them, the choice is yours. Do keep a judicious balance between oral

communication and writing practice.

I hope this book proves useful to the teacher, who is our first

stakeholder and through the teacher to the students who are our

first beneficiaries.

USHA ASWATH IYER

DIRECTOR, ZIET BHUBANESWAR

salt out of saltwater so the water can be drinkable and used for additional

purposes that do not need the salt. Solar power uses sunlight that hits the

solar thermal panels to convert the sunlight to heat either air or water. One

advantage of solar power is that it is renewable. As long as there is sunlight,

you will be able to harness the power from it. There is also no pollution and it

can be used efficiently to heat and light things. You can see the benefits of

solar energy in heating swimming pools, spas, and water tanks in many cities

across the country.

One day, a king of a nearby kingdom came in the jungle riding on his horse

back. When he approached the tribal king's house the tribal king's parrot

shouted from inside the cage hanging outside the house, "Here comes

someone. Catch this fellow and beat him thoroughly."

The king hearing the parrot speak in such a filthy manner, left that place and

reached the other end of the jungle where the sage lived. The sage's parrot was

also kept in a cage, which was hanging outside the sage's cottage.

As soon as the parrot saw the king approaching the cottage it said, "Welcome!

Please come in and have a seat. What can I do for you? Have a glass of water.

Eat some sweets."

After having welcomed him properly with all the etiquettes, the parrot called

his master, "Guruji, here comes a guest on horseback. Take him inside and

offer him a seat. Serve him food."
