Subordinating Conjunctions

A subordinating conjunction is a word that connects an independent clause to a dependent

clause.

An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. In other words, it does not need any

additional information to operate as a sentence.

Example: "The student passed the test" is an example of an independent clause.

A dependent clause adds extra information to the main clause.

These clauses cannot stand by themselves and their meaning is dependent on the independent

clause. They are not complete sentences.

Example: "because she studied hard" is not a complete sentence.

However, combine the two clauses, and we have: "The student passed the test because she

studied hard."

There are many subordinating conjunctions, A WHITE BUS is a way to help you memorise

some subordinating conjunctions.

A: after, although, as W: when, whenever, wherever, while, where H: however

I: in spite of, in case T: than, though, that, till E: even if, even though

B: but, because, before U: unless, until S: since, so that

Summary Making

We are living in the world where technology almost surpassed humanity. Don’t you

think it is making learners lazy day by day? They are becoming dependent on technology for

their assignments rather than using their brains for the thought process. As humans are not

error-free, similarly technology too does not come error-free. There are lots of problems like

server error and connectively problems which take a lot of time to troubleshoot it. Cheating

is an illegal activity but technology made it more powerful and easy to use with its powerful

wings. It really becomes very tough to control this activity, especially in the examination

environment.

In a paragraph of FOUR sentences, ONLY, summarise and paraphrase the previous

passage in an answer to the following question:

“What are the disadvantages of technology in the field of education?”

Summary Making

Whales are the largest animals in the world, even larger than some species of

dinosaurs. Ironically, whales are among the gentlest creatures we know. There are people

who go through great length to help them. Whales live in the ocean but in terms of behavior,

they are more similar to humans than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in

groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their

parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured

members; instead, they cradle them. Moreover, female whales have very strong maternal

instincts.

In a paragraph of FOUR sentences, ONLY, summarise and paraphrase the previous

passage in an answer to the following question:

“How do whales behave like humans?” …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Reading Comprehension

Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions below :

Bats are wild animals. They are the only mammals that are able to fly. Bats can be

found almost everywhere in the whole world except in very cold or very hot countries. They

are mostly found in tropical countries.

Bats have an interesting way of looking at their world. Bats are nocturnal, which

means they are most active at night. They don’t use their eyes to find their way around in the

dark. They use their ears instead!

Bats are among a very selected group of animals. The animals in this group also

include whales and dolphins. They all use a very high frequency sound, which is a special

noise, to do what other animals do with their eyes. This skill is known as echolocation.

Echolocation allows bats to hunt for food. It also helps them avoid obstacles in their path as

they fly in the dark. It even lets them communicate with other bats.

So how does echolocation work? It’s just like ringing sounds in a large, empty room or

at the edge of a narrow valley. Bats move air across their vocal cords just like people do

when they speak or shout. Some bats make the sound come out of their mouths. Others make

the sound come out of their noses. The sound they make has a very high noise. This means

the sound waves move very quickly. The energy from the sound waves goes out in front of

the bat and bounces off any objects there. It creates a ringing sound that returns back to the

bat.

The bat’s ears often appear quite large compared to the size of its head. Depending on

where the sound hits on the folds of the bat’s ear, the bat can tell very precisely where an

object is. The strength of the echo can even tell the bat how large the object is. The echo

from a moving object has a different sound from the one that is still. It is either lower or

louder. The sound is louder if the object is coming closer and lower if it’s going away. This

is important because it helps the bat find insects to eat.

The process of echolocation is very natural for the bat. The bat does not have to think

about listening, or what to do next. It works so well that the bat doesn’t care that it is. It can

see with its ears!

A) From a, b, c and d choose the suitable answer:

1. A suitable title for the passage is……………………………………..

a. Sound Waves

b. Vocal Cords

c. Echolocation in Bats

d. The Strength of the Echo

2. The underlined pronoun them in the 3rd paragraph refers to…………………

Summary Making

Read the following passage carefully, then answer the question below :

Morals are the guiding principles for humans by which people can lead a meaningful life.

They are the rules that govern which actions are right and which are wrong. If we follow the

right conduct, we will develop good manners .

We say that a person has good manners if he or she behaves politely. To do so, we should

respect other people and their creeds even if they are different from ours. We have to be

honest and never tell lies. A well-mannered person never laughs at people when they are in

trouble. Instead, he tries to give a hand. He is never cruel, either to people or animals. He

always says, "Excuse me", " Please", "I'm sorry" and "Thank you". These principles help

people live peacefully and promote sublime ethics .

answer to the following question:

‘How can a person develop good manners ?’

The first series of mobile phone in the world was analogue mobile phones. It was just

like in dream; everything changed and mobile phone technology taking a turn to change

analogue technology into digital technology. People threw their analogue phone and replaced

it with a high-tech digital one .

Those few people who were not tuned with changing technology said no to replace

their analogue phone with digital, but without any time gap, they had to face the fact that

there was no company or service centre to care for these analogue phones. There were no

spare accessories, components or mechanics to repair or look after other services. However,

it was inevitable to replace the analogue phone with digital to cope up with technology

change. Consequently, analogue phone became a history.

Now, let us talk about the years when there were black and white screen mobile

phones. Few years later, there was an invention of colour technology that opened up a great

charm and many avenues. Capabilities of a mobile phone to play games and access to the

internet brought an impact on the industry, then immediately came inbuilt computerized and

Printing is a process for reproducing text and images using a master form or template.

The earliest non-paper products involving printing include cylinder seals and objects such as

the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus. The earliest known form of printing as

applied to paper was woodblock printing, which appeared in China before 220 A.D. Later

developments in printing technology include the movable type invented by Bi Sheng around

1040 AD and the printing press invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century. With

the development of computers and mass media technologies, the concept of printing took a

whole new shape. The technology of printing played a key role in the development of

civilization, and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the

spread of education .

In four sentences of your own summarize and paraphrase the above passage in answer

Racing is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the world today. However,

not all racing is the same and each different type of racing requires specific qualities .

Formula one racing is one of the most competitive sports in the world. Although

people think they are good drivers, the racers who take part in formula one take driving to a

whole new level. They travel at breakneck speeds, often reaching over 350 kph, driving

around courses that are often hard to negative. The cars they drive are incredibly expensive

and need constant work and repairs.

A formula one driver is usually backed up by a team up to 20 engineers, mechanics

and specialists, so formula one driver need to be able to work well with other people and

have great interpersonal skills. However, when they are racing they can only rely upon

themselves and so they also have to be independent and sure of themselves. Formula one

racing , despite all the safety precautions, can also be dangerous because the speed of the cars

is so fast and they race so close together .Formula one drivers need to be very courageous

and always determined to win.

We also have marathon racing. It was named after a famous battle in marathon. In

Ancient, after the battle, a messenger ran 42 km from the battlefield to Athens and this is

why the race is the distance it is today. Marathon runners are some of the hardest working

athletes in the world. Marathon runners have to work for recognition just as hard as sprinters,

and they run for hours, not seconds.

Although marathon runners have personal trainers, they aren't allowed to assist the

runners whilst they are as they need to have an extraordinary level of will power, incredible

amounts of stamina and tremendous endurance just to keep going over the 42 km. Marathon

racing is not for glory-seekers as marathon runners receive less media attention than other

athletes such as sprinters, cyclists and swimmers. Marathon runners are often very modest,

even though they are completely committed to their event .

enable doctors to see inside our bodied .so, they became able to describe the illness and
