Practice Makes a Man Perfect Summary in English and Tamil

Long ago, there lived an archer named Uthaman. During his time, the forests and animals filled the lands. He was a skilled archer and could perform wonderful feats of archery. He could hit the centre of the target precisely, no matter how far the target was. He was also a show off. He liked to show his skills for the crowds to admire

வெகு காலத்திற்கு முன் உத்தமன் என்றொரு வில்லாளி வாழ்ந்துவந்தான். அவன் வாழ்ந்த காலத்தில் பூமியில் காடுகளும், விலங்குகளும் நிரைந்து இருந்தன. அவன் வில்வித்தையில் வியத்தகு செயல்களைப் புரிந்தான். எவ்வளவு தொலைவில் இருந்தாலும், குறிபார்த்து இலக்கைத் தாக்குவதில் திறமை பெற்றிருந்தான். கூட்டத்தாரிடம் தன் திறமைகளை காட்டி நன் மதிப்பை பெறவும், அவன் விரும்பினான்.

One day, as usual, he was shooting arrows at the targets. The admirers watched in awe. At that time a man with a beard as white as snow, carrying oil gourds, joined the crowd and stood at the back. As Uthaman finished, the crowd clapped and cheered for him except the oil seller. He neither clapped nor cheered.

ஒரு நாள் வழக்கம்போல அவன் இலக்கை குறிபார்த்து அம்புகளை எய்து கொண்டிருந்தான். ஆர்வலர்கள் பிரமிப்புடன் அதைப் பார்த்தனர்.அப்போது பனிபோல் வெண்ணிற தாடியுடைய ஒரு மனிதர், எண்ணெய்க் குடுவைகளை சுமந்தபடி கூட்டத்தின் பின்னே நின்று பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தார்.  உத்தமன் அம்பெய்து (அம்பு எய்து) முடித்ததும், அந்த மனிதரைத் தவிர்த்து மொத்தக் கூட்டமும் கரகோஷம் எழுப்பியும், குரல் கொடுத்தும் உத்தமனை உற்சாகப்படுத்தியது. அந்த மனிதர் மட்டும் கைதட்டவோ, உற்சாகப் படுத்தவோ செய்யவில்லை.

Samacheer Kalvi 5th English Guide Term 2 Supplementary Chapter 2 Practice Makes a Man Perfect

Suddenly with a deep and loud tone, he said, “It’s just a matter of practice!” Uthaman got annoyed. The irritated Uthaman asked, “Are you an archer? Do you think anyone can do what I do?”

திடீரேன ஒரு அழுத்தமான, உரத்தக்குரலில் அவர்  “இது பயிற்சியால் வருவது” என்றார். உத்தமனுக்கு இது எரிச்சலை ஏற்படுத்தியது. அவன் அந்த எண்ணெய் விற்பவரிடம்  “நீங்கள் ஒரு வில்லாளியா?  இதை யார் வேண்டுமானாலும், என்னைப்போல செய்ய இயலுமென்று எண்ணுகிறீர்களா?” என்று கேட்டான்”

The old man said calmly, “No sir, I am not an archer. I don’t doubt your skills. All I said was that everything was a matter of practice.” Uthaman was red in anger. “What do you know to pass such thoughtless comments on others? Who are you?”

அந்த வயதானவர் அமைதியாக “ஐயா, நான் வில்லாளி இல்லை, உங்கள் திறமையையும் நான் சந்தேகிக்கவில்லை. நான் கூறுவது யாதெனில் எதுவுமே பயிற்சியால் வருவதே என்பதாகும்” என்றார். கோபத்தால் முகம் சிவந்த உத்தமன் “அடுத்தவரைப்பற்றி சிறதும் சிந்தனையின்றி கண்டபடி விமர்சிக்கும் நீங்கள் யார்?” என்று கேட்டான்.

“Sir, there is no reason to be angry. I am a simple oil seller. I am sure you must have guessed that by seeing my gourds. I fill these gourds with oil and sell them. Over the years, I have achieved some skill in filling the gourds. If you allow, I will Show you.” said the old man. Uthaman, in a mocking tone, said, “Hmm… Show us your skills.”

“ஐயா, நீங்கள் கோபப்படுவதில் நியாயம் உள்ளது. நான் எளிமையான, ஒரு எண்ணெய் விற்பனை செய்பவன் ஆவேன். அது என்னிடம் உள்ள எண்ணெய்க் குடுவைகளை நீங்கள் பார்க்கும் போதே தங்களுக்கு விளங்கியிருக்கும். நான் இந்தக் குடுவைகளில் எண்ணெயை நிரப்பி விற்று வருகிறேன்.

பல வருடங்களாக இந்த குடுவைகளில் எண்ணெயை நிரப்பும் பணியில் நானும் சிறிது நிபுணத்துவம் பெற்றுள்ளேன். தாங்கள் அனுமதித்தால் அதை நான் செய்து காட்டுவேன்.” என்றார். உத்தமன் கேலியாக “ம்… உங்கள் திறமையை காட்டுங்கள்” என்றான்.

Everyone was curious. They wanted to see what would happen next. The crowd inched closer to get a clear view of the oil seller. Unfazed by the crowd and by habit, the oil seller was calm.

அடுத்து என்ன நடக்குமென்பதை அறிய அனைவரும் ஆவலாயினர். எண்ணெய் விற்பவர் என்ன செய்யப்போகிறார் என்பதை தெளிவாக அறிய, கூட்டத்தில் இடைவெளியின்றி நெருக்கமாயினர். அந்தக் கூட்டத்தில் சலனமடையாது தன் பழக்கத்தின் காரணத்தால் எண்ணெய் விற்பவர் அமைதியாய் இருந்தார்.

He patiently placed an empty gourd on the ground. He then placed a small coin on the mouth of the gourd. The Small coin made of copper had a small hole at its centre. The oil seller stood up, took some oil in his ladle and began to pour oil into the gourd. From the height he poured the oil, it went straight into the gourd through the hole in the coin. When the oil seller had finished filling the gourd, he lifted the coin. He showed people that the coin did not have any trace of oil.

காலியாக இருந்த எண்ணெய் குடுவையை தரையில் வைத்த அவர், அதன் வாயில் ஒரு நாணயத்தை வைத்தார். அது நடுவில் ஒரு சின்ன துளையுடன் கூடிய செப்பு நாணயம். பிறகு எழுந்து, தன் கையில் உள்ள குவளையில் சிறிது எண்ணெயை எடுத்து அதை அந்த குடுவைக்குள் ஊற்ற ஆரம்பித்தார்.

அவர் ஊற்றும் உயரத்திலிருந்து அந்த எண்ணெய் அந்த துளையிட்ட நாணயத்தின் துளை வழியாக நேராக குடுவைக்குள் சென்றது. குடுவையில் எண்ணெயை ஊற்றி முடித்ததும் அவர் நாணயத்தை எடுத்து கூட்டத்தினரிடம் காட்டினார். அதில் எண்ணெய்த் தடம் சிறிதுகூட இல்லை.

The crowd was shocked to silence. Then, one person cheered and soon, the entire crowd burst into a loud cheer for the oil seller. The oil seller smiled and said, “As I told, there is nothing special about it. It’s only a matter of practice.”

இதைக் கண்டு கூட்டம் நிசப்தமானது. பிறகு ஒருவர் உற்சாகக் குரல் எழுப்ப மொத்த கூட்டமும் பெரும் ஆரவாரம் எழுப்பி எண்ணெய் விற்பவரைப் பாராட்டியது. அந்த எண்ணெய் விற்பவர் புன்னகையுடன், “இதில் சிறப்பானது a எதுவுமில்லை நான் முன்னர் கூறியது போல, இது பயிற்சியினால் வருவதாகும்” என்றார்.

Uthaman was just as surprised as the crowd. He smiled and said, “You have taught me something today. Thank you.”

கூட்டத்தைப்போல தானும் வியப்படைந்தஉத்தமன், அவரிடம் “நீங்கள் புதியதாக ஒரு பாடத்தை இன்று எனக்கு கற்றுத் தந்துள்ளீர்கள். அதற்கு தங்களுக்கு நன்றி” என்று கூறினான். இது பயிற்சியினால் வருவதாகும்” என்றார். அதற்கு தங்களுக்கு நன்றி” என்று கூறினான்.

The Legend of Jaswantgarh Summary in English and Tamil

Jaswant Singh Rawat was an Indian soldier, the place Jaswantgarh in Arunachal Pradesh gets its name from him. The legendary story, “The battle of Nauranang”, handed down through the ages of Nauranang is inspiring and records the valor and patriotism of Jaswant.

ஜஸ்வந்த் சிங் ராவட் என்பவர் இந்திய இராணுவ வீரர். அருணாச்சலபிரதேசத்திலுள்ள ஜஸ்வந்த்க ர் என்ற இடம் இவரது பெயரால் உருவானது. ‘நவ்ரானங் யுத்தம்’ என்ற வரலாற்று கதை காலங்காலமாக கூறப்பட்டு, ஜஸ்வந்த்தின் வீரத்தையும், தேசபக்தியையும் பதிவு செய்திருக்கிறது.

There was a war between India and China in the year 1962. In the final part of the war, Nauranang was the last stand of the Indian army against the Chinese army. The battle started on 17th November 1962 and continued for seventy-two hours. At 5.00 am, in the Eastern Himalayas, the Chinese army attacked the lonely Indian post in Nauranang. Knowing that the Chinese army was stronger, the Indian soldiers on the post were ordered to retreat and regroup. But, Jaswant did not leave his post and decided to continue the fight to hold the Chinese until the reinforcements arrive.

1962-இல் இந்தியாவுக்கும் சீனாவுக்கும் இடையே போர் நடந்தது. போரின் கடைசி கட்டத்தில், நவ்ரானங்-இல் இந்திய ராணுவமும் சீன ராணுவமும் நிலை கொண்டிருந்தன. 17 நவம்பர் 1962 அன்று தொடங்கிய யுத்தம்
72 மணி நேரம் நீடித்தது. காலை 5 மணிக்கு கிழக்கு இமய மலைப்பகுதியில், நவ்ரானங் இல் தனித்திருந்த இந்திய முகாமை சீன இராணுவம் தாக்கியது. சீன இராணுவம் அதிக பலம் பெற்றிருந்ததை அறிந்த பிறகு, இந்தியப் படைகள் பின்வாங்க வேண்டுமென உத்தரவிடப்பட்டது. ஆனால் ஜஸ்வந்த் அந்த இடத்தைவிட்டு போகாமல், கூடுதல் படை வரும்
வரை தொடர்ந்து சண்டையிட தீர்மானித்தார்.

Samacheer Kalvi 5th English Guide Term 1 Supplementary Chapter 3 The Legend of Jaswantgarh

Two village girls named Sela and Nura helped Jaswant. They set up weapons at separate points. Jaswant taught the girls to fireguns. All three kept shooting on the Chinese army. Jaswant was running to different gun points and kept shooting. His intention was to give the Chinese army a perception that they are facing a huge Indian battalion. He did this for three continuous days. Jaswant and the girls had killed three hundred Chinese soldiers. The Chinese army decided to cut the food supply to the post.

சேலா, நூரா ஆகிய இரு கிராமப் பெண்க ள் ஜஸ்வந்த்க்கு உதவினர்.வெவ்வேறு இடங்களில் ஆயுதங்களுடன் நிலை கொண்டனர். அந்தப் பெண்க ளுக்கு துப்பாக்கி சுட ஜஸ்வந்த் கற்று கொடுத்தார். சீன இராணுவத்தின் மீது மூவரும் சுட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்தனர். ஒரு பெரிய இந்தியப்படையை சீன ராணுவம் எதிர்கொண்டுள்ளது என்று சீனர்கள் நினைத்து பயந்து ஓட வேண்டும் என்பது ஜஸ்வந்த்தின் திட்டமாக இருந்தது. அவர் இதனை மூன்று நாட்களுக்குத் தொடர்ந்து செய்தார். அவரும், அந்த இரு பெண்க ளும் 300 சீன இராணுவத்தினரை சுட்டுக் கொன்றார்கள். அவர் இருந்த இடத்திற்கு உணவு கொண்டு செல்லப்படுவதை நிறுத்த சீன இராணுவம் தீர்மானித்தது.

The Chinese soldiers caught the man, who brought food for the three. In the Chinese interrogation, the man told the truth that a single soldier was guarding the post. A single soldier and two village girls had fooled the Chinese. They were shocked and furious. They surrounded Jaswant Singh and launched a final attack.

இந்த மூவருக்கும் உணவை எடுத்துச் சென்ற ஒரு ஆளை சீன வீரர்கள் பிடித்தனர். அவனை விசாரித்தனர். ஒரே ஒரு இந்திய வீரர் மட்டுமே அங்கு இருப்பதாக அந்த ஆள் உண்மையைச் சொல்லிவிட்டான். ஒரு தனித்த இந்திய வீரரும், இரண்டு கிராமப் பெண்களும் சீனர்களை முட்டாள்களாக்கி ஏமாற்றியதை உணர்ந்த னர். இதனால் சீன வீரர்கள் அதிர்ச்சியும் கோபமும் கொண்டனர். அவர்கள் ஜஸ்வந்த்தை சுற்றி வளைத்து இறுதித் தாக்குதலை நடத்தினர்.

Jaswant shot himself as the Chinese were going to capture him. A grenade blast killed Sela. Nura, the tribal girl, was captured alive.
சீனர்களிடம் தான் பிடிப்படப்போவதை உணர்ந்த ஜஸ்வந்த் தன்னைத்தானே சுட்டுக் கொண்டார். ஒரு கையெறி குண்டு வெடித்து, சேலா கொல்லப்பட்டாள். நூரா என்ற பெண் உயிரோடு பிடிக்கப்பட்டாள்.

After the war, the commander of the Chinese army returned the brass bust of Jaswant. A war memorial with the brass bust was made to remember him and his service to the nation. All army personnel who pass through this memorial pay their respect to him.

யுத்தம் முடிந்த பிறகு, சீன போர்த்தளபதி, மார்பளவு உள்ள ஜஸ்வந்த்தின் பித்தளை சிலையை வழங்கினார். ஜஸ்வந்த் தேசத்திற்கு செய்த சேவையை நினைவுபடுத்தும் வகையில், அந்த பித்தளை சிலையுடன் ஒரு போர் நினைவகம் கட்டப்பட்டது. இந்த இடத்தைக் கடந்து செல்லும் எல்லா இராணுவ வீரர்களும், ஜஸ்வந்த்க்கு தங்கள் மரியாதையை
அளிக்கின்றனர்.

The Indian Army still treats him as a serving officer and awards him promotions. India awarded him the Mahavir Chakra. Jaswant may have died in battle that day, but he still lives in the memory of people in Jaswantgarh and the Indian army.

ஜஸ்வந்த் இறந்துவிட்டாலும் கூட, இந்திய இராணுவம் அவரை இன்னும் பணியிலுள்ள அதிகாரியாக கருதி, அவருக்கு பதவி உயர்வுகளைத் தந்து வருகிறது. இந்திய அரசு அவருக்கு மகா வீர் சக்ரா என்ற விருதை வழங்கியது. ஜஸ்வந்த் அன்று போரில் . இறந்திருந்தாலும், அவர் இன்றும் ஜஸ்வந்த்கர் இல் உள்ள மக்களின் நினைவிலும், இந்திய ராணுவத்தினரின் நினைவிலும் வாழ்கிறார்.

Lost in Space Summary in English and Tamil

Amuthan and Nilavan visited the ‘Space Museum’. They saw a model of a space shuttle. Then, Nilavan found a latch
and opened the shuttle. They entered the shuttle and the door locked.

அமுதனும் நிலவனும் விண்வெளி அருங்காட்சியத்திற்குச் சென்றனர். அங்கு ஒரு விண்க ல மாதிரியைக் கண்டனர்.
பின்பு, நிலவன் ஒரு விசையைக் கண்டு, விண்க லத்தைத் திறந்தான். அவர்கள் உள்ளே சென்றதும், கதவு உட்புறமாக பூட்டிக்
கொண்டது.

Now, they were trapped inside, and they walked into the deck.

அவர்கள் உள்ளே சிக்கிக் கொண்டனர். பிறகு அவர்கள் அதன் கட்டுப்பாட்டு தளத்திற்கு நடந்தனர்.

Amudhan: So many switches! What does this big green switch do?
Nilavan: No, don’t touch it.

அமுதன் : நிறைய சுவிட்ச்க ள். இந்த பெரிய பச்சை சுவிட்ச் எதற்கு?
நிலவன் : வேண்டாம், அதை தொடாதே.

But, Amudhan had pressed the switch and the shuttle bursts into outer space.

ஆனால், அமுதன் அந்த சுவிட்சை அழுத்தினான். விண்கலம் விண்வெளியை நோக்கிப் பறந்தது.

Nilavan : What have you done Amudhan?
Amudhan : Sorry. I thought the button would open the door but looks like I hit the wrong button.

நிலவன்: என்ன செய்திருக்கிறாய், அமுதன்?
அமுதன் : மன்னித்துவிடு. கதவை திறக்க வைக்கவே நான் அந்த பட்டனை அழுத்தினேன். ஆனால், நான் தவறான சுவிட்சை
அழுத்திவிட்டேன் என்று தோன்றுகிறது.

The shuttle went through a belt of asteroids.
பல குறுங்கோள்களைக் கடந்து அந்த விண்கலம் சென்றது.

Nilavan: Amuthan, an asteroid is coming towards us. Turn the shuttle.
Amudhan: How will I turn the shuttle? Let me try pulling this lever..

நிலவன் : அமுதன், ஒரு குறுங்கோள் நம்மை நோக்கி வருகிறது விண்கலத்தைத் திருப்பு.
அமுதன் : எப்படி நான் விண்கலத்தை திருப்புவேன்? இந்த நெம்புகோலை இழுத்துப் பார்க்கிறேன்.

The shuttle crash-landed on a new planet.

அந்த விண்க லம் செயலிழந்து ஒரு புதிய கோளில் தரையிறங்கியது.

Nilavan: Are you alright, Amuthan?
Amudhan: I am fine. Quick! we must wear a spacesuit!

Samacheer Kalvi 5th English Guide Term 1 Supplementary Chapter 1 Lost in Space

நிலவன் : நீ நன்றாக இருக்கிறாயா, அமுதன்?
அமுதன் : நான் நன்றாக இருக்கிறேன். சீக்கிரம்! நாம் விண்வெளி உடையை அணிய வேண்டும்.

They ran for the suits. Nilavan saw green lights coming towards the shuttle.

அவர்கள் விண்வெளி உடைகளைத் தேடி ஓடினர். விண்க லத்தை நோக்கி பச்சை நிற வெளிச்சங்கள் வருவதை நிலவன்
பார்த்தான்.

Nilavan: Look at those lights. It is coming towards us.
Amudhan : Yes, they are all around us and that shuttle is very big! Let us wear our suits.

நிலவன் : “அந்த வெளிச்சங்களைப் பார். நம்மை நோக்கியே அவை வருகின்றன.”
அமுதன் : “ஆம். அவை நம்மைச் சுற்றியுள்ளன அந்த விண்கலமும் மிகப் பெரியதாக உள்ளது. நாம் நமது விண்கல
உடைகளை அணிவோம்.”

Aliens from the big shuttle shattered the windows and took them out.

வேற்று கிரக வாசிகள் அந்த பெரிய விண்கலத்திலிருந்து வந்தனர். ஜன்னல்களை உடைத்து இருவரையும் வெளியில்
எடுத்தனர்.

Alien 1: Please, don’t be afraid. There is a problem with your shuttle. We can fix it for you.
Nilavan: How is this possible? Do you speak our language?
Alien 1 : we can read your mind and use that to speak your language.

வேற்று : தயவுசெய்து பயப்படாதீர்கள்.
கிரக வாசி: உங்கள் விண்க லத்தில் ஏதோ பிரச்சனை உள்ளது. நாங்கள் அதை சரி செய்து தருகிறோம்.
நிலவன் : இது எப்படி முடியும்? எங்கள் மொழியை நீங்கள் பேசுகிறீர்களா?
வேற்று : உங்கள் மனதை எங்களால்
கிரக வாசி: படித்தறிய முடியும். அதனை பயன்படுத்தி, உங்கள்மொழியை பேசுகிறோம்.

The aliens gave them a special room so that they can remove their suits and rest.

வேற்றுகிரகவாசிகள் அவர்களுக்கு ஒருதனி அறை கொடுத்து, அவர்கள் உடைகளைக் களைந்து ஓய்வெடுக்க உதவினர்.

Alien 2: Hey, wake up. Your ship is ready. Put on your suits. It is time to go home.
Amudhan: Thank you for your help. Are you coming to Earth with us?
Aliens : When the time comes, we will. See you.

வேற்று : தயவுசெய்து இங்கு
கிரக வாசி: ஓய்வெடுங்கள். இந்த மாத்திரைகளைச் சாப்பிடுங்கள். உங்கள் உணவு போலவே இவை இருக்கும்.
வேற்று : எழுத்து வாருங்கள். உங்கள்
கிரக வாசி : கலம் தயாராகிவிட்டது. உங்கள் உடைகளை அணிந்து கொள்ளுங்கள். வீட்டுக்குச் செல்லும் நேரம் வந்துவிட்டது
அமுதன் : உங்கள் உதவிக்கு நன்றி. எங்களுடன் பூமிக்கு நீங்கள் வருகிறீர்களா?
வேற்று : நேரம் வரும் போது வருகிறோம். கிரக வாசிகள் சென்று வாருங்கள்.

The Strength in his Weakness Summary in English and Tamil

Akilan was an active and energetic boy. He liked sports as much as studies. They were like his eyes. How could he choose one over the other? He had a passion for sports. So he spent most of his evenings in the playground. He also remembered his father’s words “Learn well, live well!”. So, Akilan used to spend his mornings on his studies. His physical education teacher was his inspiration.

அகிலன் ஒரு துறுதுறுப்பான ஆற்றல் மிகுந்த சிறுவன். அவனுக்கு கல்வியைப் போல விளையாட்டிலும் விருப்பம் உண்டு. அவனது (இரு கண்களைப்போல அவை இருந்தன. அவன் அவன் அந்த இரண்டில் ஒன்றை மட்டும் அந்த இரன எவ்வாறு உயர்வாக கருதமுடியும்?

அவனுக்கு விளையாட்டுகளில் ஆர்வம் இருந்ததால்,தன் பெரும்பாலான மாலைப் பொழுதுகளை விளையாட்டு மைதானத்தில் கழிப்பான். “நன்றாய் கற்று, நலமாய் வாழ்க” என்ற தன் தந்தையின் வார்த்தைகளை நினைவில் கொள்வான். எனவே, அவன் காலை நேரத்தை கல்வியில் செலவிடுவான். ஜூடோ கலையில் சிறந்தவரான அவனது விளையாட்டு ஆசிரியர்தான் அவனுக்கு உத்வேகமாக இருந்தார்.

The teacher was good at Judo. His passion for learning Judo grew every day. He was afraid that his interest in Judo would upset his parents. Finally, one day, Akilan told his parents about his passion for Judo and also showed the medals he won in sports. His parents were astonished on seeing the medals and certificates that he won in school.

ஜூடோ மீதான் அவனது விருப்பம் நாள்தோறும் வளர்ந்து கொண்டே இருந்தது. ஆனால், ஜூடோ மீதான தனது ஆர்வம், தன் பெற்றோரை சங்கடப்படுத்திவிடுமோ என அவன் நினைத்தான். முடிவில், ஒரு நாள், அகிலன் தன் பெற்றோரிடம் தனக்கு ஜூடோ கலையின் மீதுள்ள ஆர்வத்தைப் பற்றி கூறி, பள்ளியில் நடைபெற்ற பந்தயங்களில் தான் பெற்ற பதக்கங்களை காண்பித்தான். அவன் பெற்றிருந்த பதக்கங்களையும், சான்றிதழ்களையும் கண்டு அவனது பெற்றோர்
வியப்படைந்தனர்.

After a few months, in an accident, Akilan lost his left hand. That day onwards he did not go out of house often. He used to sit in a corner. His parents were keen to fulfill their son’s passion. His father showed an advertisement for a Judo school that he came across in a newspaper. Akilan saw the advertisement, his passion for Judo energised him.

சில மாதங்களுக்குப் பின்னர், விபத்தில் அகிலன் தன்னுடைய இடது கையை இழந்தான். அதன் பின்னர் அவன் வீட்டிலேயே முடங்கி விட்டான், வேறு எங்கும் செல்வதில்லை. அவன் பெற்றோர், மகனின் விருப்பத்தை நிறைவேற்ற முயன்றனர். அவன் தந்தை அகிலனிடம் செய்தித்தாளில் வந்திருந்த ஒரு ஜூடோ பள்ளியின் விளம்பரத்தை காண்பித்தார். அதைக் கண்ட அகிலனின் ஜூடோ ஆர்வம் உத்வேகம் அடைந்தது.

He asked his father if he could join the school. His father with tears of joy, got him admitted in the Judo school. Akilan was very excited on his first day in Judo school. His master was the best Judo teacher in the town. His master trained him the basics before teaching the advanced skills.

தன் தந்தையிடம் அகிலன் தன்னை அந்த ஜூடோ பள்ளியில் சேர்த்துவிடும்படி கேட்டான். ஆனந்த அதில் சேர்த்துவிட்டார். சேர்ந்த முதல் நாளிலேயே அகிலன் பரவசமடைந்தான். அவனுடைய ஜூடோ மாஸ்டர்(ஆசிரியர்) அந்த நகரிலேயே சிறந்த ஜூடோ நிபுணர். அவர் அகிலனுக்கு மேம்பட்ட பயிற்சிகளை அளிக்குமுன், ஆரம்பநிலை பயிற்சிகளை முதலில் சொல்லிக் கொடுத்தார்.

Everyone wondered how a boy with one arm could master Judo. Akilan learnt and practiced consistently for two years. He practiced only a single stroke for two years. Akilan was surprised and annoyed as his master taught him only one stroke but, soon he mastered the stroke.

ஒருகை மட்டுமே உடைய ஒரு சிறுவன் எவ்வாறு ஜூடோ கலையை கற்று சிறப்படைய இயலும் என அனைவரும் வியந்தனர். ஒரே ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட பயிற்சியை ஆசிரியர் தொடர்ந்து செய்யச் செய்தார். அவனும் செய்தான். ஆனால் ஏன் அது ஒன்றையே பயிற்சி செய்யச் சொல்கிறார் என்ற வருத்தமும், வியப்பும் அவன் கொண்டிருந்தாலும் பயிற்சி செய்து அதில் அவன் நிபுணத்துவம் அடைந்தான்.

No one could excel him in that stroke. To everyone’s surprise, Akilan picked by the master for the “National Judo Competition”. Everyone ridiculed Akilan and his master, as they were not sure how a boy with one hand could win a national competition! To everyone’s surprise, Akilan easily defeated all his six contenders with his single stroke. Akilan reached the finals.

அந்த குறிப்பிட்ட பயிற்சியில் வேறுயாராலும் was அவனை விஞ்ச இயலவில்லை அனைவரும் ஆச்சரியப்படும் வகையில் “தேசிய ஜூடோ” போட்டிக்கு அகிலனை அவன் ஆசிரியர் தேர்ந்தெடுத்தார். தேசிய ஜூடோ போட்டியில் எப்படி ஒரு ஒற்றைக்கையை உடையவன் பங்குபெற இயலுமென அனைவரும் அகிலனையும், அவனது ஆசிரியரையும் பழித்தனர்.

ஆனால் அனைவரும் வியப்படையும் வண்ண ம் அகிலன் ஆறுபேரை தான் கற்ற அந்த ஒற்றை பயிற்சியின் மூலம் வென்று இறுதிப்போட்டிக்கு முன்னேறினான்.

Akilan’s heart was beating fast, and he could not believe that he was in the finals. The final match began, and it had a total of six rounds. The opponent was very strong and defeated Akilan easily in the first two rounds. The referee blew his whistle then, Akilan’s master rushed to him and said “Believe yourself. The key to success is to focus on your strengths and not your weakness.”

Akilan felt some new energy rushing through him. He did not want to lose this match. AKilan understood the hidden hint his master gave him. He had to focus on his single stroke and not on the strength of the opponent.

தன்னுள் ஏதோ புத்துணர்ச்சி பரவுவதை அகிலன் உணர்ந்தான். அந்த கட்டத்தில் தோற்க அவன் விரும்பவில்லை. தன் ஆசிரியர் பூடகமாக கூறிய குறிப்பை அவன் உணர்ந்து கொண்டான். அவன், தன்னுடைய அந்த ஒற்றை பயிற்சி (அடி யில் கவனம் செலுத்த வேண்டுமே தவிர, தன் எதிராளியின் பலத்தில் அல்ல என்று உணர்ந்து கொண்டான்.

VI. Answer in detail:

Question 1.
What are the factors for food Spoilage?
Answer:
Food can be spoiled by factors like air and oxygen, moisture, light, micro-organisms, and temperature.
Air and Oxygen: When oxygen reacts with food contents, it produces changes in the colour and flavour of the food.
Moisture: Moisture keeps the food fresh. When the moisture is gone vegetables and fruits shrink. Due to evaporation, moisture loss occurs in foods like meat, fish and cheese. Enzymes: Enzymes break down the tissues and components of the food in different ways like oxidation, browning and ripening. So the food items decay.
Micro-organisms: Micro-organisms such as fungi, yeast and bacteria can grow well in low temperatures. They multiply in food and spoil them.
Light: Light produces colour changes and also vitamin loss.
Temperature: Sometimes the rise in temperature causes food spoilage.

Question 2.
Explain the different types of diseases.
Answer:
There are four main types of diseases. They are:

  • Infectious diseases
  • Hereditary diseases
  • Physiological diseases
  • Deficiency diseases.

a. Infectious diseases: Infectious diseases are caused by micro-organisms which invade our body and multiply inside them. These diseases are spread from one person to another. E.g. Common cold.
b. Hereditary diseases: Hereditary diseases are spread by abnormalities in the gene. These diseases are passed from parents to children. E.g. Heart disease.
c. Physiological diseases: Diseases which are caused due to malfunction of the body organs are called physiological diseases. E.g. Asthma.
d. Deficiency diseases: A diet which contains all essential nutrients in correct proportion is indispensable for maintaining good health. Deficiency in one or more of the nutrients causes various diseases. These are called deficiency diseases.

V. Answer in detail:

Question 1.
Write a note on parts of Plants.
Answer:
Parts of a plant

  • A plant is made up of many different parts. The three main parts are the roots, the
    leaves, and the stem.
  • Each part has a set of jobs to do to keep the plant healthy.
  • The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and anchor the plant in the ground. The stem supports the plant above ground and carries the water and minerals to the leaves.
  • The leaves collect energy from the Sun and make food for the plant, using an amazing process called photosynthesis.

Question 2.
Explain the methods of pollination.
Answer:

  • Pollination by Wind (Anemophily): The flowers pollinated by wind are mostly small in size and do not have any attractive colour, smell and nectar. The pollen grains are non-sticky, dry, light and powdery. Hence, they are easily carried by the wind. E.g. Grass, Maize, Pine.
  • Pollination by Water (Hydrophily): The flowers of water plants are not colourful and they have no nectar. Pollen grains of these plants have mucilaginous covering to protect them from getting wet. They float in water and reach the other plant. E.g. Vallisneria, Hydrilla, Zosteria.
  • Pollination by Insects (Entamophily): This is the most common type of pollination in plants like sunflower, ladies finger, brinjal and pumpkin. Some flowers are large in size and they have a sweet smell. Some of these flowers produce nectar. They attract insects like butterflies and honey bees.

Question 1.
Write a note on parts of Flower.
Answer:
Flower is the reproductive part of a plant. It is a modified shoot. Flowers have four important parts. They are:

  • Sepal: It is the outer part of the flower. Usually, it is small and green in colour. It protects the bud in the early stage.

The Farmer and his Daughters Summary in English and Tamil

In the village of Manipuram, there lived a wealthy farmer. He had three daughters. All his daughters were married and living their life happily. The farmer was getting old. He wanted to distribute his wealth to his daughters. But he wanted to know what responsibility he could give to each of his daughters. He called all his daughters and gave each of them a bag of millet. He asked them to use grains in the best way possible and then come back to him after one year.

மணிப்புரம் என்ற கிராமத்தில் ஒரு பணக்கார விவசாயி வசித்து வந்தார். அவருக்கு மூன்று மகள்கள் இருந்தனர். அவரது எல்லா மகள்களுக்கும் திருமணமாகி, அவர்கள் மகிழ்ச்சியாக வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருந்தனர். விவசாயிக்கு வயதாகிக் கொண்டிருந்தது. அவரது சொத்தை தனது மகள்களுக்கு பிரித்துக் கொடுக்க விரும்பினார். ஆனால் ஒவ்வொரு மகளுக்கும் எந்த பொறுப்பை கொடுப்பது என அறிய விரும்பினார். தனது மகள்களை அழைத்து ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் ஒரு பை நிறைய
தினை வகையைச் சேர்ந்த தானியத்தைக் கொடுத்தார். அந்த தானியத்தை சிறந்த முறையில் பயன்படுத்திவிட்டு, ஓர் ஆண்டுக்குப்பிறகு தன்னை வந்து பார்க்கச் சொன்னார் அவர்.

After one year the daughters came back to their father’s house. The farmer welcomed all of them.

ஓர் ஆண்டுக்குப் பிறகு அவரது மகள்கள் அவரது வீட்டிற்கு வந்தார்கள். அந்த விவசாயி | மூவரையும் வரவேற்றார்.

First, he called the elder daughter and asked about what she had done with the grains given to her. She replied, “Father, I fed those grains to flocks of birds that I saw on my way back to home.”

முதலில், தன் மூத்த மகளை அழைத்து, அவளுக்கு கொடுத்த தானியத்தை என்னசெய்தாள் என கேட்டார். “அப்பா, நான் என் வீட்டுக்குப் போகும் வழியில் நான் பார்த்த பறவைகளுக்கெல்லாம் உணவாக கொடுத்துவிட்டேன்”, என்று அவள்
பதிலளித்தாள்.

Then the father called the second daughter and asked the same. She replied,”Father, I thought those grains were sacred. So I mixed those with other grains kept for community food service. So that everyone could have it. After this, the third daughter came. The farmer asked her about the grains.

பிறகு அவர் இரண்டாவது மகளை அழைத்து அதே கேள்வியைக் கேட்டார். “அப்பா, நான் அந்த தானியங்கள் புனிதமானவை என்று நினைத்தேன். ஆகவே அதை மற்ற தானியங்களோடு கலந்து, சமுதாய உணவு சேவைக்காக கொடுத்துவிட்டேன். ப்பிட முடியும்”, என்றாள் அவள். இதன் பிறகு மூன்றாவது மகள் வந்தாள். விவசாயி அவளிடம் தானியத்தைப் பற்றி கேட்டார்.

She said, “Father, I don’t have those grains with me now. I need two bullocks and men to get the grains.” Father was confused and asked her, “Why do you need bullocks and men to bring the grains here?” The daughter smiled and replied “I sowed those grains and now it has grown as crops. So, I need a bullock cart and men harvest and bring back the grains.” Father was happy to know that she used the grains wisely.

அவள் கூறினாள், “அப்பா, இப்போது அந்த தானியங்கள் என்னிடம் இல்லை. தானியத்தைக் கொண்டுவர இரண்டு காளையுடனான மாட்டு வண்டியும், ஆட்களும் எனக்கு தேவைப்படுகிறது”. அவளது தந்தை குழப்பமடைந்து, “அந்த
தானியத்தை இங்கே கொண்டுவர எதற்காக உனக்கு மாட்டு வண்டியும் ஆட்களும் தேவைப்படுகிறது?”, என கேட்டார். அந்த மகள்புன்னகைத்தபடியே, “அந்த தானியங்களை to நான் வயலில் பயிரிட்டேன். இப்போது அவை பெருமளவில் வளர்ந்து பயிராகியுள்ளன. அதை அறுவடை செய்து, எடுத்து வர மாட்டு வண்டியும், ஆட்களும் எனக்குத் தேவை”, என்று
பதில் சொன்னாள். புத்திசாலித்தனமாக அவள் தானியத்தை பயன்படுத்தியதை அறிந்து, அவளது தந்தை மகிழ்ச்சியடைந்தார்.

Samacheer Kalvi 5th English Guide Term 1 Supplementary Chapter 2 The Farmer and his Daughters

Father found her apt and gave her the responsibility of the fields. He distributed his other wealth equally among the other two daughters.

அவளே தன் நிலங்களை பராமரிக்க தகுந்தவள் என அவளது தந்தை அறிந்து கொண்டு, வயல்களுக்கான பொறுப்பை அவளிடம் கொடுத்தார். தனது பிற சொத்துகளை சமமாக | பிரித்து இரு மகள்களுக்குக் கொடுத்தார்.

The Gift Summary in English and Tamil

Once a beggar was hungry. He saw a big house and went there to see if he would get something to eat. The house was very big and luxurious. There was a beautiful garden around the house. As he neared the house, he could smell tasty food. He knocked the door. A well-dressed man opened the door. The man’s face shrank door on seeing the old man. He asked in a harsh tone “What do you want?” The old man with his feeble voice replied “It has been two days since I had food, so please give me something to eat”.

பசியுடன் இருந்த ஒரு பிச்சைக்காரர், ஒரு பெரிய இல்லத்தைக் கண்டார். தனக்கு உண்ண ஏதாவது அங்கு கிடைக்குமா? என அறிய அங்கு சென்றார். அந்த வீடு பெரியதாகவும், ஆடம்பரமாகவும் இருந்தது. அந்த இல்லத்தை அவர் நெருங்குகையிலே ருசியான உணவின் மணத்தை அவரால் நுகர முடிந்தது. அவர் அந்த இல்லத்தின் கதவை தட்டியவுடன், நன்றாக  உடையணிந்த ஒருவர் கதவைத் திறந்தார். இந்த பிச்சைக்காரக் கிழவரைக் கண்டதும் அவர் முகம் சுருங்கியது. “என்ன வேண்டும் உனக்கு?” என அதட்டும் குரலில் அவர், கிழவரை வினவினார். மிகவும் மெல்லிய குரலில் பேசிய கிழவர் “நான் உணவுண்டு இரு நாட்கள் ஆகிவிட்டன. அதனால் தயவு செய்து உண்ண ஏதாவது தர இயலுமா?” என்று கேட்டார்.

The rich man got angry and shouted at the beggar “Do you think I am running free food service? Get out of” here”. The old man with the same tone here”. The old man with the same tone “Don’t stand here wasting my time, get out of my sight.” said the man and slammed the door. The old man slowly walked away. In his way, he saw a lady from the house dropping banana leaves with food in the trash can. He was sad.

நான் என்ன இலவச உணவு சேவையா நடத்துகிறேன்? இங்கிருந்து வெளியே போ” என்று கோபத்துடன் வீட்டுக்காரர் சத்தமிட்டார். “ஏதேனும் மீதமிருந்தால்” என கிழவர் மறுபடியும் அதே xமெல்லிய குரலில் கேட்க, “நீ இங்கு நின்று என் நேரத்தை வீணடிக்காதே. என் பார்வையிலிருந்து உடனே வெளியேறு” என கூறிக்கொண்டே கதவை அழுத்தி சாத்தினார். கிழவர் மெதுவாக நடந்து செல்கையில், அந்த வீட்டின் பெண்ம ணி வாழையிலைகளுடன் உணவை குப்பைத் தொட்டியில் வீசுவதை கண்டார். அதைக் கண்டு அவர் மிகவும் வருத்தமடைந்தார்.

He slowly walked to the next house and knocked the door “Is anybody there?” After repeated knocks, a voice answered, “Nobody is home. Try the next house.” “If there is no one, then, who is answering me?” asked the old man. The man got irritated and opened the door and said, “Why don’t you try the big house in the same street?” The old man sadly replied, “I tried, but he did not offer any food.” He asked, “How can you expect me to help you when the richest man of the village denied?” The old man left the place.

அடுத்த வீட்டை நோக்கி நகர்ந்த அவர் கதவைத் தட்டி “யாராவது இருக்கிறீர்களா?” என கேட்டார், தொடர்ந்து கதவைத் தட்டியபிறகு ஒரு குரல் “வீட்டில் யாருமில்லை ! அடுத்த வீட்டில் கேட்டுப்பாருங்கள்” என பதிலளித்தது. உடனே கிழவர் ” வீட்டில் யாரும் இல்லை என்றால் எனக்கு யார் பதிலளித்தது?” என திரும்பக் கேட்க, ஒரு மனிதன் எரிச்சலுடன் கதவைத் திறந்து” இதே தெருவில் உள்ள பெரிய வீட்டில் கேட்டுப்பார்!” என்று கூறினான். உடனே, கிழவர் சோகத்துடன் “நான்முயன்றேன், ஆனால் அந்த மனிதர் எனக்கு உணவு அளிக்கவில்லை ” என கூறினார். அதற்கு அந்த மனிதன் “இந்த கிராமத்திலேயே பணக்காரரான அவரே உனக்கு உதவ மறுக்கையில், நான் உனக்கு உதவ வேண்டுமென எவ்வாறு எதிர்பார்க்கிறாய்?” என்று கேட்டதும், கிழவர் அந்த இடத்தை விட்டு அகன்றார்.

The old man was tired and could not walk anymore. So he sat under a tree and soon slept. A man in shabby clothes woke him and asked “Who are you? Why are you lying here?” The old man replied, “I have no food and no place to stay.” The poor man said, “You look tired and hungry, come to my home and stay with us.” The old man replied, “I don’t want to be a burden to you, I just need some food.” The poor man said, “Okay, just come and have some food with us.” He took the old man to his hut.

அந்தக் கிழவர் நடக்கக் கூட முடியாமல் களைப்படைந்தவுடன் ஒரு மரத்தின் கீழே அமர்ந்து அப்படியே உறங்கிவிட்டார். அப்போது அவலட்சணமான (அசிங்கமான) ஆடைகள் அணிந்த ஒருவன் அந்த கிழவரை எழுப்பி “யார் நீங்கள்? இங்கு ஏன் படுத்துக்கொண்டிருக்கிறீர்கள்?” எனக் கேட்டான்.

“எனக்கு உண்ண உணவும் இருக்க இடமும் இல்லாததால்தான் இந்த நிலமை ” என்றார். அந்த ஏழை மனிதன் அவரிடம், “நீங்கள் களைப்புடனும் பசியுடனும் இருக்கிறீர்கள்… எனவே எங்கள் வீட்டுக்கு என்னுடன் வாருங்கள்” என அழைக்க, கிழவர் அவனிடம் “நான் உங்களுக்கு பாரமாக இருக்க விரும்பவில்லை . எனக்கு சறிது உணவு அளித்தால் போதும்” என்றார். கிழவரை தன் குடிசைக்கு அவன் அழைத்துச் சென்றான்.

The hut was very small and barely enough for the family. The old man saw that the house wouldn’t withstand the monsoon. The house had no furniture, but only a few utensils were there for use. The people in the house, a lady and two children were very happy to welcome the old man in. They made him sit comfortably. The children sat near him.

ஒரு சிறு குடும்பத்திற்கு போதுமானதாய் இருந்த அந்தக் குடிசை, பருவ நிலைகளை சமாளிக்க இயலாததாக இருக்கக் கண்டார். அந்த வீட்டில் எந்த மரச்சாமான்களும் இல்லை. உபயோகத்திற்காக சில பாத்திரங்கள் மட்டுமே இருந்தன. அந்த இல்லத்தில் இருந்த பெண்ம ணியும், இரு குழந்தைகளும் மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் கிழவரை வரவேற்றனர். அவரை சௌகரியமாக அமரவைத்து அருகில் இரு குழந்தைகளும் அமர்ந்த னர்.

அந்த ஏழை மனிதன் கிழவருக்கு தன் பெயர் கலியன் என்றும், மனைவியின் பெயர் விஜி, குழந்தைகளின்பெயர் முறையே கோபி, ராதிகா என அறிமுகப்படுத்தினான். குழந்தைகள் இருவரும் கிழவருடன் நெருக்கமாகிவிட்டனர். அவரிடம்
பலப்பல கேள்விகள் கேட்டு விளையாடினர். கிழவர் தன்னுடைய முகம் மற்றும் கை கால்களை கழுவிக்கொள்ள கலியன் உதவினான்.

When the old man entered the hut, Viji was ready to serve the food. They all sat in a circle. Viji served the gruel from an earthen pot. First, she gave it to the old man and then to the children and Kaliyan. After the dinner, Kaliyan laid a mat for the old man to sleep.

கிழவருக்கான உணவை விஜி தயாராக வைத்திருந்தாள். அனைவரும் ஒரு வட்டமாக அமர்ந்த பின்னர், விஜி ஒரு மண் கலயத்திலிருந்து நீராகாரத்தை எடுத்து முதலில் கிழவருக்கும், அதன் பின்னர் குழந்தைகளுக்கும், கலியனுக்கும் அளித்தாள். அதை உண்டு முடித்ததும், கிழவர் படுப்பதற்கு கலியன் ஒரு பாயை விரித்தான்.

The next morning, the beggar asked them to pack their things. They all couldn’t understand why he asked so. Before they could ask anything, the beggar said, “I am not a beggar, I am a land ford from a nearby town. My family and I were helping the poor and the needy. My wife and son died two years back. Without them, I continued my service.

மறுநாள் காலை பிச்சைக்கார கிழவர் அனைவரையும் (கலியன் குடும்பம்) அவர்களுடைய பொருட்களை மூட்டையாக கட்டி வைக்கச் சொன்னார். அது ஏன் என அவர்களுக்கு விளங்கவில்லை . அவர்கள் எதுவும் கேட்பதற்கு முன்னரே, அந்த பிச்சைக்காரர் அவர்களிடம் “நான் பிச்சைக்காரன் அல்ல, பக்கத்து ஊரில் உள்ள நலக ரேப்உள்ள நிலச்சுவான்தார்.

என் குடும்பமும் நானும் ஏழைகள் மற்றும் உதவி தேவைப்படுவோர்க்கு உதவி வந்தோம். என் மனைவியும், மகனும் இரு வருடங்களுக்கு முன்னர் இறந்துவிட்டனர். அவர்கள் இன்றி, இந்த சேவையை நான் தனியாக செய்து வருகிறேன்.

As I grew older, I wanted someone to take care of my wealth and service after me. You have to accept my request and fulfill my desire. Kaliyan was reluctant but the old man persuaded him and his family. The old man was happy that his service would continue many more years even after his death.

எனக்கு வயதாகிவிட்டதால் எனக்குப் பின்னர். என் சொத்தையும், இந்தப் பணியையும் செய்ய யாராவது தேவைப்படுகின்றனர். நீங்கள் என் வேண்டுகோளை ஏற்று என் ஆசையை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள வைத்தார். கலியன் தயங்கினாலும், அந்தக் கிழவர் அவனையும் அவனுடைய குடும்பத்தினரையும் வற்புறு த்தி ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள வைத்தர் தான் இறந்தாலும், தன் சேவை பல வருடங்களுக்கு தொடரும் என்று அவர் மகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்தார்.
