GSEB Class 8 English Love Your Land Text Book Questions and Answers

We are all young citizens (persons who live in a country and have special rights) of India. We are the future of our country. We, in India, can vote from the age of 18. We must learn to become good citizens. There are some boys and girls who are not good citizens.

Some young people cut the seats of buses or write their names on school benches, desks and blackboards. They destroy (break or ruin) the vehicles during strikes. They spit (throw something out of mouth) anywhere on roads or park vehicles at any place.

They set a bad example to others. Such people make the lives of other people uncomfortable (not pleasant/unhappy). We are students. Our important duty is to study well. We should not waste our time in unnecessary things. We should plan our day.

We should also play games or sports. We should watch television and see good informative (full of information) serials and also enjoy cartoons. Watch movies which give us a good message. We should join social service groups like National Cadet Corps (NCC) or Scout Guides. We should spend our holidays, vacations doing constructive (useful) work.

We should also help all family members in their work. Gandhiji said that we should develop (cultivate) a spirit of service in young men and women. The duty of young citizens is to love, care and respect their family members, friends and teachers. They should live in discipline (control of feelings and behaviour) and help the needy (a person who needs help) people. We, young people, are the future citizens of India. We must love and protect our country.
