Section A (Reading)
**Unseen Passage (5 Marks)**

Last Sunday, our school organised a tree plantation drive in the nearby park. The event was
planned to make our surroundings clean and green. All students from classes 5 to 8 took part
with great excitement. We planted more than 200 saplings, such as neem, mango, and
gulmohar trees. Our teachers explained how to dig small pits, place the saplings carefully, and
water them properly. Some students brought water cans, and others carried gardening tools.
While planting, we also learned how trees give us fresh air, shade, and fruits. The park now
looks greener, fresher, and more beautiful than before. Everyone felt proud and happy that we
had done something good for nature. It was truly a day we will always remember.
