SCHOLAR, LECTURER
Q. 1: According to the author, some boys fail because they do not try. Who are they? Can
we help them?
Ans: They are those boys who do not have any aim in life. They do not try to pass and fail.
They join college just for fun. They should be guided towards the objective of their life as a
student.
Q. 2: How do mistaken ambitions on the part of boys and their parents lead to the failure of
the boys?
Ans: Mistaken parents’ ambitions lead to failure because students do not take any interest in the
subject chosen by their parents. They stop hard work in their studies, and as a result, they fail.
Q. 3: Some boys have done well at school but have yet to make their mark at college. Who
are they? Do you have such boys in college in your country?
Ans: These boys are bright and intelligent but not hard-working. They become overconfident
and fail in college. Such boys could be found in the colleges of every country. Ours is no
exception.
Q. 4: How does financial pressure lead to the failure of students described in the lesson? Do
you have similar cases in your country?
Ans: Poor students must do some job to meet their educational expenses. This dual exertion
affects their health and studies, so they fail. Yes, we do have such cases in our country.
Q. 5: To what extent does the question of health lead to failure at college? How far can the
college authorities, with their medical officers, help students in such cases?
Ans: Both physical and mental health is a very important factor for students. If a student suffers
from some disease, he cannot concentrate on his studies. As a result, he fails.
Q. 6: What place would you recommend to athletes in college?
Ans: The main purpose of college is to impart education. Athletes should be given respectable
positions in the college. However, they should not be allowed to neglect their studies at any cost.
Q. 7: Some students join the college for the fun of it. Should they be allowed to stay?
Ans: Students who join the college for fun should not be allowed to stay because they can also
spoil other students.
Q.8: Can we help the student suffering from nervous habits?
Ans: No, we cannot help students with nervous habits. Nervous habits are not easy to uproot;
they cannot be eradicated by anyone but the boy.
