    Factual Reading Comprehension Assignment

    Q. Read the passage given below. (6x1=6m)

    (1) Dealing with nervousness can sometimes be a difficult thing to do. When
    you feel nervous, you tend to lose control to some extent. You can start to shake
    and tremble a bit or you can start to sweat and even get a bit dizzy. It may seem
    like a bad thing but this feeling that you experience is your body's way of
    telling you something. Nervousness is a signal to your mind that you need to
    get ready. It can sometimes be mixed with the feeling of excitement as well.

    (2) There are many situations that can cause a person to feel nervous. It can be a
    situation where you are about to make a speech, appear for an interview or take
    an exam. All of these things can bring out that feeling of anxiety. It can cause
    you to stumble on your words. It can cause you to make a fool out of yourself in
    public It can cause you to just plain freeze up. It can even cause you to turn
    around and go back the way you came from.

    (3) However, there are ways and means by which you can learn to control
    nervousness and use it to your advantage. The first thing you need to do is
    understand the reason for your nervousness. Most of the times when you get
    anxious, it means that you aren't as prepared as you think you should be. Often
    when it's our first time doing something that is outside of our comfort zone, we
    will feel bit nervous but after we have done it over and over, we feel more
    confident about it. In other words, in order to feel less nervous about whatever
    is causing you to feel that feeling of nervousness, you need more practice.
    There is a difference between feeling nervous because you aren't prepared and
    feeling excited because you're anxious to show what you can do.

    (4) We often get nervous because we are afraid of what others might think of us.
    You don’t have to worry about that because more often than not, people are too
    concerned with their own selves to focus on your faults. According to a study
    conducted on Americans, most of the people are afraid of public speaking:

    What are you so afraid of ?


    The problem is that we are our own worst critics. American psychologist
    William James believes “Human beings by changing the inner attitudes of their
    ‘minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives” Visualise yourself doing a
    great job. Visualise yourself getting the results you want. Visualise receiving
    praise and appreciation. Visualisation and affirmations have the power of
    bringing about a positive change in your thought patterns. Nervousness is
    something that can be dealt with through practice as well as realising that life is
    too short to spend too much time worrying. If you want to do a good job, be
    prepared, think positive and practice as much as you can.

    Based on your understanding of the passage, answer ANY SIX out of the
    seven questions given below.
    1. According to the passage, state one of the reasons for feeling nervous.
    2. Which word in paragraph 2 means the same as ‘fall’?
    3. According to the survey, what are the highest and lowest feared things in
    Americans?
    4. “The problem is that we are our own worst critics.” The idea of being our
    own critics is mainly a reference to self-__________. (criticism/analysis/
    confidence/interrogation)
    5. What is the first step to get rid of nervousness?
    6. How can one bring a change in the way they think?
    7. We often mistake another emotion for nervousness. What is it and when do
    we feel that way?
