This is My Town — NCERT Solutions

Given: Students are asked to count the letter 'e' in the poem 'This is My Town'.

Method: Read the poem carefully word by word and count every time the letter 'e' (both capital E and small e) appears.

Note: The exact count depends on the full poem text. Students should go through each line of the poem, underline every 'e', and then count the total number.

Sample approach: Go line by line → underline each 'e' → add up the total.

Write the final number in the blank provided.

Given: Students are asked to count the letter 'u' in the poem 'This is My Town'.

Method: Read the poem carefully word by word and count every time the letter 'u' (both capital U and small u) appears.

Note: The exact count depends on the full poem text. Students should go through each line of the poem, underline every 'u', and then count the total number.

Sample approach: Go line by line → underline each 'u' → add up the total.

Write the final number in the blank provided.

Given: Students have already counted the number of times 'e' and 'u' appear in the poem.

Step: Compare the two counts.

Sample Answer: The letter 'e' appears more number of times than the letter 'u' in the poem.

Note: Students should compare their own counts from Questions 1 and 2 and write the letter that has the higher count.

Given: Two pictures are provided (images not visible in text, but the activity is a spot-the-difference exercise).

Method:
Step 1 – Look carefully at Picture 1.
Step 2 – Look carefully at Picture 2.
Step 3 – Compare the two pictures side by side.
Step 4 – Find objects, colours, or details that are present in one picture but missing or different in the other.
Step 5 – Circle or mark the differences you find.

Note: Since the images are not available here, students should observe the actual pictures in their textbook and identify the differences. Typically in such exercises, there are 4–5 differences such as a missing object, a change in colour, an extra item, etc.

Given: An incomplete picture is provided in the textbook.

Instruction for students:
Step 1 – Look at the picture carefully.
Step 2 – Think about what objects or living beings are missing from the scene (for example: sun, clouds, trees, birds, people, flowers, houses, etc.).
Step 3 – Use a pencil or crayons to draw the missing items in the picture.
Step 4 – Colour your drawing neatly.

Note: There is no single correct answer. Students should use their imagination to complete the picture creatively.

Given: The teacher reads out the words — Shirt, Shell, Shoe.

Instruction for students:

• When the teacher says 'Shirt' → point to the picture of a shirt.
• When the teacher says 'Shell' → point to the picture of a shell.
• When the teacher says 'Shoe' → point to the picture of a shoe.

Observation: All three words begin with the letters 'sh'. This activity helps us learn the 'sh' sound.

Given: We need to fill in the blanks with the letters 'sh' to complete each word.

Concept: The 'sh' blend makes a single sound as in 'ship', 'shop', 'shell'.
