Working with the text :
(পাঠৰ সৈতে কাম কৰা:)
1. For how long do you think Connie had kept Jim's letter? Give reasons for your answer.
( কনিয়ে জিমৰ চিঠিখন কিমান দিন ধৰি ৰাখিছিল বুলি আপুনি ভাবে? আপোনাৰ উত্তৰৰ কাৰণ দিয়ক।)
Ans. Connie has had to keep Jim's letter for nearly 70 to 75 years for a long time. That's because she told the narrator how she reads it very often every day so she could feel Jim was close to her.
2. Why do you think the desk had been sold, and when?
( আপুনি কিয় ভাবে যে ডেস্কখন বিক্ৰী কৰা হৈছিল, আৰু কেতিয়া?)
Ans. The desk must have been sold when the house in which Connie Macpherson lived had caught fire. She was taken to a nursing home. All the burnt up things must have been sold after that.
3. Why do Jim and Hans think that games or sports are good ways of resolving conflicts?
( জিম আৰু হান্সে কিয় ভাবে যে খেল বা ক্ৰীড়া হৈছে বিবাদ সমাধানৰ ভাল উপায়?)
Ans. Jim and Hans thought that games or sports are good ways of resolving conflicts because nobody dies in matches. No children are orphaned and no wives become widows. Due to these reasons games are good ways for resolving conflicts.
4. Do you think the soldiers of the two armies are like each other, or different from each other? Find evidence from the story to support your answer.
( আপুনি ভাবেনে যে দুয়োটা সৈন্যৰ সৈন্যই ইজনে সিজনৰ দৰে, বা ইজনে সিজনৰ পৰা পৃথক? আপোনাৰ উত্তৰৰ সমৰ্থনৰ বাবে কাহিনীটোৰ পৰা প্ৰমাণ বিচাৰি উলিয়াওক।)
Ans. The soldiers of the two armies were similar to each other. We can say this because they were friendly with each other, they ate food together, they played a football match and also celebrated Christmas together. Both the armies agreed that there should be peace among countries.
5. Mention the various ways in which the British and the German soldiers become friends and find things in common at Christmas.
( ব্ৰিটিছ আৰু জাৰ্মান সৈন্যসকলে কেনেধৰণে বন্ধু হৈ পৰে আৰু খ্ৰীষ্টমাছত বস্তুবোৰ একে ধৰণৰ হয় সেই বিষয়ে উল্লেখ কৰক।)
Ans. They shared the festive spirit of the Christmas. They got over hatred and played games, feasted and drank like good friends. Both hated war. Both were anxious to go back to their families at the end of war.
6. What is Connie's Christmas present? Why is it "the best Christmas present in the world"?
( কনিৰ খ্ৰীষ্টমাছৰ উপহাৰ কি? এইটো কিয় "পৃথিৱীৰ সৰ্বশ্ৰেষ্ঠ খ্ৰীষ্টমাছ উপহাৰ"?)
Ans. When the narrator came to see Connie and gave her the box, she mistook him for her husband Jim. She thought that Jim had come home for Christmas. This was Connie's Christmas present. It was the best Christmas present in the world for her because Jim had written in the letter that he would come home on Christmas.
7. Do you think the title of this story is suitable for it? Can you think of any other title(s)?
(আপুনি ভাবেনে যে এই কাহিনীটোৰ শিৰোনামটো ইয়াৰ বাবে উপযুক্ত? আপুনি আন কোনো শিৰোনামৰ কথা ভাবিব পাৰিবনে?)
Ans. Yes, the title of the story is suitable for it. The spirit of Christmas is the theme that prevails throughout the story. It was on a Christmas day, in the middle of a raging war, that two warring troops made peace. The moment of peace that the soldiers shared with each other was the best Christmas present for them.
