Comprehension: (Que No. 12 - 20)
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

1. Do children really need such long summer breaks, was a question posed by some experts recently. Apparently, such a long break disrupts their development and comes in the way of their learning process. "Let's get them back to their books", is perhaps the expert view. One would have thought the children are doing too much during their vacations and not too little, given the plethora of classes, camps and workshops involving swimming, art, personality development, music, computers and the like. Even the trips taken in the name of holidays seem laden with exotic destinations and customised experience packed into a short period of time. We can go Europe in 10 days and Australia in a week and come back armed with digital memories and overflowing suitcases. Holidays are, in some ways, no longer a break but an intensified search for experience not normally encountered in everyday life.

2. It is a far cry from summer holidays as we know them. For us, holidays every year meant one thing and one thing alone-you went back to your native place, logging in with the emotional headquarters of your extended family and spent two months with a gaggle of uncles, aunts and first and second cousins. The happiest memories of the childhood of a whole generation seemed to be centred around this annual ritual of homecoming.

3. Summer was not really a break, but a joint. It was the bridge used to reaffirm one's connectedness with one's larger community. One did not travel, one returned. It was not an attempt to experience the new and the extraordinary but one that emphatically underlined the power of the old and the ordinary. With the change of time, what we seek from our summer breaks too has changed in a fundamental way

4. Today, we are attached much more to our work and summer helps us temporarily detach from this new source of identity. We refuel our individual selves now; and do so with much more material than we did in the past. But for those who grew up in different times, summer was the best time of their lives.

Question 12: How do students spend their summer breaks? — CTET Paper 2 (15 Dec, 2024)

2) By reading books

3) By killing their time and playing for endless hours

4) By attending camps and workshops like art, music, etc.

Question 13: How are travel and tour not a break from daily stress? — CTET Paper 2 (15 Dec, 2024)

1) They require a lot of investment and exhaust our savings.

2) They are armed with memories of one's native places.

3) They are laden with customised experience, packed into a short period of time.

4) They are a break from an intensified search for experience.

Question 14: How are present-day summer breaks different from those of the former days? — CTET Paper 2 (15 Dec, 2024)

1) We refuel our individual selves.

2) We are attached much more to our work.
