Foreword
English is widely used International Language. It is regarded as the second language to be
taught in our schools. In order to acquire sound command knowledge of this language, all the linguistic
skills should be mastered with proper attention, enthusiasm and continuous practice. ‘Practice makes
things perfect.’ The Government has taken up curricular reforms with a view to strengthening the learning
skills of children. Meticulous steps have been taken in designing Workbooks to reinforce what the
children learnt from the textbook.
Worksheets incorporated in this Workbook are learner-centered, created with the intention
of developing independent learning abilities in the children. There is an explicit unit - wise link between
the Textbook and the Workbook. Different segments of a lesson are organized to take the learner along
the path of learning correlating and relearning different aspects of the topic chosen. This Workbook
also provides an opportunity to the teacher to easily handle the learners of multi grade classes. Resource
management could be sufficiently and efficiently done in the Multi Grade and Multi Level class rooms.
All the worksheets promote imaginative and critical thinking abilities among the children and reinforce
the learning objectives. Bilingual instructions are also given to the learners for self-learning. Empty
double ruled pages are given to avoid additional notebooks thus decreasing the weight of the school
bag. Holistically this Workbook aims to strengthen the ability of the learners to use the language.
We are grateful to our Honourable Chief Minister Sri Y.S Jagan Mohan Reddy for being our
source of inspiration to carry out this extensive reform in the education department. We extend our
heartfelt gratitude to Sri Botcha Satyanarayana, Honourable Minister of Education for striving towards
qualitative education. Our special thanks to Sri Budithi Rajsekhar, IAS, Special Chief Secretary, School
Education, Sri. S. Suresh Kumar, IAS, Commissioner of School Education & State Project Director,
SS, Smt. Vetriselvi.K, IAS, Special Officer, English Medium Project for their constant motivation and
guidance.
We convey our thanks to the expert team. We also thank our Workbook writers, editors and
layout designers for their contribution in the development of this Workbook. We invite constructive
feedback from the teachers and parents for further refinement of the Workbook.

There are some tribal groups that are still depending on forests. Most of these
masses don't depend on cultivating land. They are specialized in collecting forest
products for sale to non-tribal people. They live among the wide range of wild life
in Nallamala. Troops of monkeys, herds of deer, and hives of bees are common

hunt. Now-a-days, these tribes are transforming and moving to the nearby villages.
They are cultivating crops, weaving cane baskets, rearing cattle and growing or-
chards.

Reading comprehension
Read the following story. øÏ+~ story qT #·<eä +&ç.
Everyone knew that Sthuthi was the best
speller in the whole class. She used to get perfect
scores during each weekly spelling test.
Sthuthi was so confident in her spelling
abilities that she had felt and decided not to study
for her next spelling test. The test began.
Mrs. Rajani pronounced each word and then
repeated it. Everything was OK until she spoke
"Handkerchief". Sthuthi scribbled h-a-n-d-k-e-r-c-
h.....now what?? i-e-f?...or…e-i-f? Her mind was
blank.
Mrs. Rajani started to move on to the next word. It occurred to Sthuthi that
Greeshma knew how to spell it!! Greeshma had written this word fifty times.
There was wide open space between Sthuthi and Greeshma. Sthuthi's eyes
rolled to the right. There it was, spelled out in Greeshma's hand writing. Her eyes
went quickly back to her own paper and finished the word with the letters
"i-e-f".
Sthuthi remained tense and nervous as Mrs. Rajani read the last spelling word.
She had cheated for the first time in her life. She thought, "Is this the way I want
to keep my perfect record - by being a cheater?"
Frantically, she erased what she had written earlier and replaced it with what
she knew was the wrong answer. She wrote "e-i-f". As her sweaty hands released
pencil and passed the test up to the front, she sighed with relief. She thought, "So,
what if my perfect scores are no longer intact? At least my honesty is." Later
teacher explained her that the words which have /s/ sound only have like receive,
deceive... etc.

I disliked punishments by

I would do the lessons, but
often without my mind on
them. Thus there was of course no question of any extra reading. But somehow my
eyes fell on a book bought by my father. It was 'Shravana Pitrubhakti Nataka'. (a
play about Shravana's devotion to his parents.) I read
it with intense interest. At that time there came a show
