SECTION: A (READING) (14)
Q.1 Read the passage given below (7)

A beach is one of the most peaceful places where people can relax and enjoy nature. The
sound of waves gently touching the shore, the cool sea breeze, and the soft sand under the
feet create a calm and refreshing atmosphere. Many people visit beaches during holidays to
m
.co
take a break from their busy lives and spend quality time with family and friends.

e m
l as
Some people enjoy walking along the shore, collecting seashells, or simply sitting and

ag
watching the sunset. Others like reading books, building sandcastles, or playing games near
the water. Beaches also help people feel fresh and happy because spending time in nature can
reduce stress and improve mood.

A clean and peaceful beach offers a perfect place to rest and think quietly. However, visitors
should always keep beaches clean by throwing waste in dustbins and avoiding plastic litter.
Protecting beaches helps preserve their beauty and keeps marine life safe.

Thus, beaches are not only places for fun and adventure but also wonderful spaces for
m
c o m
relaxation and peace.
