Every month two or three babies die due to branding in our state. When a baby has a fever or diarrhea or any other diseases, the illiterate parents and grandparents call the village quack, the disari. The quack, the village doctor puts hot iron rods on the stomach of the babies as a cure. Instead of getting cured, the babies die. But these blind practices continue. What can we do to check such blind practices? You are studying in schools. You know if we suffer from diseases, we should go to a qualified doctor, not to an illiterate disari or a village quack. As you are educated, you have a role to play in this regard. Tell the people not to go to a disari or a village quack. Ask them to go to a hospital for treatment. Talk to your classmates, form a group to fight against the bad and blind practices of branding in and around your village and locality.

1. One evening Mitu and Situ, two sisters, were studying in their room. Mitu studies in class VII and Situ in Class V. The two sisters were studying in two different schools. Their uncle, Mr. Giri, was watching them from a little distance. He was a retired teacher. He had come to visit them on a week-end. Mr. Giri saw Mitu reading one paragraph from her English textbook then reading the meaning of this paragraph in Odia from a bazaar notebook (Meaning book), which disturbed him. ‘If children study English like this, they will never learn English’, he thought.

2. The uncle was eager to help Mitu learn English on her own without the help of this meaning book. He came close to her and asked her to read the first paragraph of the lesson silently. The lesson was “The Story of Cricket”. The first paragraph was: The shape and the size of a cricket ground are not fixed. They are different. The cricket ground of Melbourne in Australia is bigger than that of Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. Similarly the shape of Chepauk Cricket Ground in Chennai is circular. But the Adelaide Cricket Ground in Australia is oval.

୪.ତା’ପରେ ମାମୁ ତାଙ୍କ ଭାଣିଜୀ ମିତ୍ରୁକୁ ତା’ ଖାତା ମାଗିଲେ ଏବଂ ତା’ ଖାତାରେ ଅନୁଚ୍ଛେଦର ସାରାଂଶ ଲେଖୁ ଦେଲେ । ସାରାଂଶଟି ନିମ୍ନ ପ୍ରକାର ଥିଲା :

୫. ଗିରିବାବୁ କହିଲେ, ‘ତୁମେ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ଅନୁଚ୍ଛେଦଟିକୁ ଭଲ ଭାବରେ ବୁଝିପାରିଲ । ମାନେ ବହି କେବଳ ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଅର୍ଥ ଦେଇଥାଏ । ଏହା ଠିକ୍ ଭାବେ ଇଂରାଜୀ ଶିକ୍ଷା ପାଇଁ ଦରକାରୀ ନୁହେଁ ।
