Class 11 English – Debate Writing for First Term Examination 1. Social Media: A Boon or a Curse Respected Chairperson, honourable judges, teachers and my dear friends, I stand before you to speak for the motion that social media is a boon.

Class 11 English – Comprehensive Practice Section A: Reading Comprehension Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. The Value of Time Time is one of the most valuable resources available to human beings. Unlike money or material possessions, time once lost can never be recovered. Every person, regardless of age, wealth or social status, receives the same twenty-four hours in a day. What makes people different is the way they use these hours. Successful people generally understand the importance of time. They plan their activities, set priorities and avoid unnecessary delays.

They often have several responsibilities such as attending classes, comp...
