      1. You have learnt a number of unknown things about Gurajada Apparao in the lesson \u201cGurajada – The Legend\u201d. His dream and vision were of a new social system. His attitude towards women\u2019s education, social equality and widow re-marriages are all surprisingly modern.
      \nNow, write about your feelings about the present scenario of women\u2019s education, social equality and widow re-marriages in your area.
      \nAnswer:
      \n(First Person Narration)
      \nI think that Gurajada has done a great work in the issues of women\u2019s education, social equality and widow re-marriages. There is no doubt, his dream and vision were of a new social system. There is not much improvement in the status of women\u2019s education. In our country, this issue is a long-standing necessity. Women need to be given equal opportunities especially when it comes to education. Women education contributes to the development of our country.<\/p>\n

      In my opinion, the bright future of India depends on the women education. As far as social inequality is concerned, it is rarely seen in some villages. Along with Gurajada, a number of other social reformers did a great job in controlling the social evil of social inequality. When we come to the issue of widow re-marriages, these kind of marriages are rarely seen. The people should be changed. They have to develop modern outlook.<\/p>\n

      2. In the lesson \u2018Gurajada – The Legend\u2019, you have read about Mahakavi Gurajada. He was a distinguished writer, a contemporary of Tagore. He was also a renowned social reformer. His works have immensely influenced the people and brought tremendous changes in the society.
      \nPrepare a script for speech on \u2018Gurajada Apparao\u2019.
      \nAnswer:
      \nGood morning to all,<\/p>\n

      Today, I, V. Keerthi. stand before you to deliver a speech on Mahakavi Sri Gurajada Apparao. I think, you all know that Gurajada is a noted Indian playwright, dramatist, poet, and writer. He was well known for his works in Telugu literature. He wrote the first Telugu play, Kanyasulkam. It is considered the greatest play in the Telugu language. Gurajada was lauded as \u2018Mahakavi\u2019. All his writings are superb, unforgettable and immortal. His legendary lines, \u201cNever does land, mean clay and sand; The people, the people, they are the land\u201d have been shacking the hearts of every Telugu soul. He wrote several English poems too. His \u2018Sarangadhara\u2019 was well received.<\/p>\n

      In a way, Kandukuri was regarded as the \u2018Raja Ram Mohan Roy\u2019 of Andhra Pradesh. Many writers praised him as a revolutionary in his thought. He rescued language from the learned people and gave it back to common people. He was a great artist. Through his artistic work, he wakes up the reader to fight the social evils. Along with Gidugu, Kandukuri started the movement for spoken dialect. We see a number of words used by common people in his works. His characters are high-spirited. His style of writing is simple yet beautiful in meaning.<\/p>\n

      I would like to thank one and all for giving me this chance of speaking a few lines about Gurajada.<\/p>\n

      In our colony the water supply has been cut, officially by 25%. This has caused a lot of inconvenience. It is summer season and people need more water. Due to the shortage of water, many of the people have to go without a bath daily. As a result, the life has become miserable. People stand in queues waiting for water. Since the water pumps are also not working properly, there is no other source of getting water.<\/p>\n

      Hence I request.you to look into the matter and take necessary action immediately. We request you to relieve the residents of Kothapet from the crisis of inadequate water supply. ”<\/p>\n

      Thanking you sir,<\/p>\n

      \nAnswer:
      \nThe Greedy King<\/p>\n

      Once there lived a king named Midas. He had everything a king could wish for. He lived in luxury in a great castle. He shared his life of abundance with his beautiful daughter.<\/p>\n

      Even though he was rich, Midas thought that his greatest happiness was provided by gold. He was very fond of gold. One day he prayed to God. God appeared before him and gave him a boon. As per the boon, whatever the king touches turns into gold. The next morning Midas, woke up eager to see if the boon would become true. He touched cot, bed, walls, doors and flowers in the garden, etc. To his amazement all those turned into gold. When he felt hungry, he touched meals. He couldn’t eat it as it also turned into gold. He felt sorry for his situation. After some time, his beloved daughter came. When he touched her, she turned into a golden statue. He felt sad.<\/p>\n

      He prayed to God again. God appeared before him. Midas asked God to excuse him and requested for his daughter with life. God took pity on him and gave life to his daughter. Thus God taught the king a lesson and disappeared.<\/p>\n
