Man Overboard Summary

Vasantha was on board a ship called ‘S.S. Rajula’. She was travelling to Singapore after her stay with her grandparents. She spent the day exploring the ship. It looked like a big house. There were furnished rooms, and a swimming pool, a room for indoor games, and a library. The | next day morning, the captain announced that they had received a message about a storm in the Indian Ocean. Most of the adults panicked. But Vasantha was excited about it. She remembered 1 of her class teacher telling them in class about a big storm. The teacher was on her way to Singapore.

Due to the storm, the ship rocked to and fro. Everything in the cabins rolled up and down. This 1 incident, which was told by her class teacher, made her imagination run wild. She thought it would; be fun if the storm broke when they had lunch. It would be a merry-go-round to all of them sitting on the chairs.

In the evening, a strong wind started blowing. The ship rocked to and fro. Huge waves were dashing against it. She noticed a man vomiting over the rails and looked rather blue about the mouth. A huge wave lashed the ship and the man tumbled over the railings into the wild sea. Vasantha shouted to save him. The captain heard this and sent the rescue team officers to save the man. Two life-boats moved towards the man. The captain was watching the rescue operation through a pair of binoculars. Vasantha could not see what was happening, as the boat was too far for her. But the captain was giving a running commentary to Vasantha.

The ship had dropped the anchor but was rising up and down. The two sailors caught hold of a rope. One of them tied the rope around his waist. With the man between them, the sailors swam back to the life-boats. The boat headed back to the ship. The ship’s doctor was ready at the railings with two nurses and a stretcher. The man was given immediate attention to improve his condition. A nurse told Vasantha that he was saved and would regain consciousness after a few minutes.

2. Using synthetic fibres such as nylon, is that they are stronger than many natural fibres such as silk or wool. Most synthetic fibres absorb very little moisture and do not allow air circulation making them hot and uncomfortable to wear.
3. These fibres are strong and elastic which gives it the properties to bounce. Synthetic fibres are made out of petrochemicals and last in the environment for a very long time. It break down into very small pieces called microplastics which cause pollution to soil and water bodies such as rivers, lakes and oceans.

Question 2.
Suggest safe methods of disposing plastics.
Answer:
Refuse (Avoid):

  1. The best thing to do is to avoid using plastic products.
  2. One-time use throw away plastics can often be avoided.

Reuse : If possible products made of plastics can be used again and again.
Recycle:

  1. It is better to recycle plastic waste.
  2. Separating plastic waste (based on the resin code) and making sure it gets recycled is good as it turns waste materials into something new.
  3. Then it will not be thrown away in landfills, open dumps or ending up as litter in the environment.
    Solid waste can be converted into resources such as electricity and compost through thermal and biological means.

  1. In 2016, scientists from Japan tested different bacteria from a bottle recycling plant and found that Ideonellasakaiens is 201-F6 could digest the plastic used to make single-use drinks bottles that are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  2. The bacteria works by secreting an enzyme known as ‘PETase’, that breaks down plastic into smaller molecules.
  3. These smaller molecules are then absorbed by the bacteria as a food source.
  4. The scale of the bacteria breaking down plastics is much slower and will therefore not solve the crisis we are facing.

  3. When SiO2 silicondi-oxide melts, the silicon and oxygen atoms break out of their crystal structure.
  4. If we cooled it slowly, the atoms would slowly line up back into their crystalline arrangement.
  5. But if we cool the liquid fast enough, the atoms of the silica will be halted in their tracks, they won’t have time to line up, and they will be stuck in any old arrangement, with no order to the arrangement of the atoms.

Sindbad – My First Voyage Summary

Sindbad, the sailor is a fictional mariner and the hero of a story cycle of Middle-Eastern origin. He was a man from Baghdad who had fantastic adventures in magical realms. In this extract, the rich Sindbad describes his first voyage to the poor Sindbad, the porter.

When the father of rich Sindbad died, he left behind a big wealth. Sindbad spent all his wealth foolishly. After realising his fault, Sindbad decided to sail for the Persian Gulf with some goods. One day, onboard, their group saw a beautiful small green island. Out of curiosity, they all got down on that green patch. They decided to cook, as they were hungry. As soon as they lit the fire for cooking, they got a jerk. The island was shaking. It was not an island. But a huge animal. Everyone jumped into the sea to save his life. A few of them couldn’t board the ship and they were left there struggling for their life. Sindbad was one among them.

Fortunately, he caught hold of a big piece of wood and kept floating for a long time. He was thrown on an island. There, he met a man who helped him to get good food and drink. Later, when he narrated his sufferings to the king of the Island, Mihrjan, he took pity on him. He appointed him as an officer on the spot. There Sindbad witnessed many unimaginable wonders. He became friendly with the people there. But longed to go back. One day, the same ship which he boarded, happened to come to that place. The captain of the ship was surprised to find Sindbad alive.

Sindbad presented some of his goods to the kind king. In return, the king also gave him expensive presents. As the ship stayed on the island for a few days, Sindbad did good business and earned a lot of money. Finally, he returned to his city Baghdad as a rich man. Sindbad completed his story and bade goodbye to the poor porter. He presented him with a purse-full of good coins. The unexpected riches overjoyed the porter.
