Q 6. “A Learning Experience with My Daughter”: My oldest daughter, Tania, who was about nine at that time, and I were driving to see her grandmother. I remember thinking that with Tania, building an Emotional Bank Account was a key. So, I thought, “What can I do in the thirty minutes we have together to make deposits in her bank account?” You know, this took a bit of courage. I’m not much of a chatterer when we travel. Mostly I drive in silence. So, I was a bit nervous suggesting the game I came up with. As we started, I said, “Tania, why don’t we play a game. What we want to do is say in turn ‘I feel good about you because …’ or ‘I liked what you did because …’ The ‘because’ is important because then we know why the other person likes us. Okay? I’ll start.” So, I started. I said something about her. Then she paused and said something about me. After about three or four things, I had to start thinking. I love my child so much, but I was having difficulty thinking of specific actions that I loved about her. I was searching for things to say. Tania found it easier. After about five or six, I could tell she was looking at my life and seeing me and what I did. She was grateful for what I did, the walks to the park, the basketball in the driveway, the fixing of bicycle punctures, the way I woke her up in the mornings. She could see all of me. I was still struggling. Then, as I looked at this little girl’s life, really looked at her and what she did every day in our family, I started to see. I saw her hugs, her little words, her thank-yous. I saw how well she was doing at school and how polite she was. I told her I loved it when I came home, and she gave me a big hug. When we started digging and looking, we couldn’t stop. This was only a thirty-minute trip. We got to twenty-two, twenty-three items and then I had to call it off. I couldn’t think of anything else. Frankly, I was stunned by the game. I felt good on one hand but discouraged on the other. Good that Tania could see so much (she wanted to continue the game), discouraged that I couldn’t find more. The rest of the trip we spent chattering to each other. I think the game started a dialogue that I hadn’t had with her before. When we arrived, Tania jumped out of the car and raced into the house and that’s when my heart almost broke. “Nani, Nani Jan” she shouted. “Baba knows so many good things about me. I didn’t know he knew so many good things about me.” Answer the following questions: (8) A. How the author is trying to make deposits in his Emotional Bank Account with his young daughter? B. What habit/s out of “The Seven Habits” other than the Emotional Bank Account is demonstrated here and how?

Historical fiction is concerned with depicting historical figures and events in a new light. in this excerpt from arthur conan doyle's "the contest," which two sentences most clearly describe historical elements? policles sprang readily to his feet at the challenge, and the great company making way for him to pass, he found himself a minute later standing in his unkempt garb, with his frayed and weather-beaten harp in his hand, before the expectant crowd. he stood for a moment tightening a string here and slackening another there until his chords rang true. then, amid a murmur of laughter and jeers from the roman benches immediately before him, he began to sing. he had prepared no composition, but he had trained himself to improvise, singing out of his heart for the joy of the music. he told of the land of elis, beloved of jupiter, in which they were gathered that day, of the great bare mountain slopes, of the swift shadows of the clouds, of the winding blue river, of the keen air of the uplands, of the chill of the evenings, and the beauties of earth and sky. it was all simple and childlike, but it went to the hearts of the olympians, for it spoke of the land which they knew and loved. yet when he at last dropped his hand, few of them dared to applaud, and their feeble voices were drowned by a storm of hisses and groans from his opponents. he shrank back in horror from so unusual a reception, and in an instant his blue-clad rival was in his place. if he had sung badly before, his performance now was inconceivable. his screams, his grunts, his discords, and harsh jarring cacophonies were an outrage to the very name of music.
