Question: 5

The table shows the student enrollment at ABC School across different academic years. Over the past five years, the data illustrates a shift in student numbers, with a steady decrease in boys and an increase in girls.

In 2020, the enrollment was 600 boys and 350 girls. By 2021, the numbers shifted slightly to 550 boys and 400 girls. In 2022, boys decreased to 400, while girls increased to 500. In 2023, the trend continued, with 350 boys and 600 girls enrolled.

In short, this shift may be due to changing preferences or initiatives encouraging more girls to join. The pattern suggests that the school may continue to see more girls than boys enrolled.

Question: 7

A Childhood of Adventure and Joy

Childhood was a time of pure joy and adventure. I remember waking up each morning excited to play outside. The world felt big and magical. Every tree was a place to climb, every field a place to run. I loved exploring with my friends. We would spend hours pretending to be explorers or superheroes, creating stories and new worlds.

School days were fun too. I loved learning new things, especially about animals and space. The teachers were kind, and my friends made every day feel special. Lunchtime was the best, sharing snacks and stories with everyone.

I also remember family gatherings. My grandparents would tell us stories from the past, and we would all laugh together. Those moments felt warm and safe.

Looking back, my childhood was simple but full of happiness. It taught me to find joy in small things and cherish the people around me.

Question: 8

Why People Are Migrating to Cities

In recent times, migration from villages to cities has become a common trend. People are leaving rural areas in search of better opportunities and improved living conditions. This movement has led to overcrowded cities and nearly empty villages, as more individuals and families are drawn to urban areas for various reasons.

First, cities offer better job opportunities. Many industries and companies are located in urban areas, making it easier to find work. People are attracted to these job prospects, hoping to improve their financial situation.

Second, cities provide better education. Urban areas have more schools, colleges, and universities, offering a higher quality of education. This draws families seeking better opportunities for their children.

Third, healthcare facilities in cities are more advanced. Urban centers have modern hospitals and medical services, which are not always available in rural areas. People move to cities for better healthcare.

Finally, cities offer better infrastructure and amenities. Public transportation, shopping centers, entertainment, and other facilities are more accessible in urban areas. People are drawn to the convenience and comfort that cities provide.

To sum up, these factors have led to a rise in migration to cities. While cities offer many advantages, this has resulted in overcrowding, leaving villages less populated. People continue to migrate in search of better opportunities and a higher standard of living.
