The monsoons are a time of great fun and even a few adventures: playing in the rain and getting wet, wading through knee-deep water on your way to school, water flooding the house or the classroom, power cuts and so on.

Write a paragraph describing an incident that occurred during the rains which you can never forget.

Or

Write a poem of your own about the season of spring when trees are in full bloom.

It was the monsoon season in Delhi. Rains do not come often to Delhi. From the balcony of my house, I was watching the rain falling on the leaves of trees, balconies of other houses and puddles in the water. I was a little sad that on such an amazing day, I couldn’t play in the rain. I was sitting there when I heard one of my friends shouting from downstairs. Her voice was not very audible because of the sound of rain. I went down excited anyway. When I went down I saw more of my friends and I was suddenly very enthusiastic. We all jumped into the rain and then started dancing and singing the song ‘Barso re megha’. After quite some time passed, we all went back with our hearts happy. Mom had prepared Maggi for me. It became one of my fondest memories of monsoon.

The green in the tree

Spoke its tale

Of growing from a sapling

Beside the village rail.

Every passenger of the train

Looked at it with wonder

As it stood adorned with blossoms

And tender green grass under.

The birds would come chirping

Finding shelter in its shade

The girls would come giggling

To put flowers on their braid.

The green in the tree

Spoke its tale

Of growing from a sapling

Beside the village rail.
