Q.5   Read Unit 2. Write a paragraph about balanced diet for a 5-year-old child. (10)

School-age children need to eat foods from all five healthy food groups – vegetables, fruit, grain foods, dairy and protein. Healthy foods have nutrients that are important for growth, development and learning. Limit salty, fatty and sugary foods, low-fibre foods, and drinks with caffeine or a lot of sugar. Fruit and vegies give your child energy, vitamins, anti-oxidants, fibre and water. These nutrients help to protect your child from diseases later in life, including diseases like heart disease, stroke and some cancers. Encourage your child to choose fruit and vegetables at every meal and for snacks. This includes fruit and vegies of different colours, textures and tastes, both fresh and cooked. Wash fruit to remove dirt or chemicals, and leave any edible skin on, because the skin contains nutrients too.

Q.7   Read Unit 3. Write five causes of pollution in our country and suggest some ways to keep our environment clean.                                                                        (10)

          Pakistan is today the world’s fourth most polluted country. Air pollution shortens the average Pakistani’s life expectancy by 4.3 years, relative to what it would have been if the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline was met. Some areas of Pakistan fare much worse than average, with air pollution shortening lives by almost 7 years in the most polluted areas. All of Pakistan’s 212 million people live in areas where the annual average particulate pollution level exceeds the WHO guideline. Ninety-nine percent live in areas where it exceeds Pakistan’s own air quality standard. Particulate pollution has increased over time. Since 1998, average annual particulate pollution has increased 20 percent, cutting 0.9 years off the lives of the average Pakistan resident over those years. The most polluted areas of the country are in southern Punjab and northern Sindh, where residents would gain more than 5  years of life expectancy if particulate pollution were permanently reduced to the WHO guideline. In Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city, residents would gain 3.6 years. In Lahore, the second largest city, residents would gain 5 years. Residents of the capital of Islamabad would gain 4 years.

 

Q.8   Read Exercise 3 in Unit 3 and write the definitions of the following words. Consult a dictionary to help your write their definitions.                                             (15)

i.            Garbage

Garbage, trash, rubbish, or refuse is waste material that is discarded by humans, usually due to a perceived lack of utility. The term generally does not encompass bodily waste products, purely liquid or gaseous wastes, or toxic waste products.

ii.          Ozone layer

The ozone layer sits in the stratosphere between 15 km and 30 km above the earth, and shields us and other living things from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. Ozone layer depletion could have serious effects on human health and the environment.

iii.         Green house effect

The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by “greenhouse gases.” These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them.

iv.         Global warming

Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's surface observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere.

v.           Environment Hazard

An environmental hazard is a substance, state or event which has the potential to threaten the surrounding natural environment or adversely affect people's health, including pollution and natural disasters such as storms and earthquakes.
