विद्यालये पुस्तकालयः आवश्यकः अस्ति। तत्र कथापुस्तकानि विज्ञानपुस्तकानि च सन्ति। छात्राः विश्रामकाले तत्र पुस्तकानि पठन्ति। पठनेन तेषां ज्ञानं वर्धते। अतः वयं प्रतिदिनं किञ्चित् पठेम।
विद्यालय में पुस्तकालय आवश्यक है। वहाँ कहानी और विज्ञान की पुस्तकें हैं। विद्यार्थी विश्राम के समय वहाँ पढ़ते हैं। पढ़ने से उनका ज्ञान बढ़ता है। इसलिए हमें रोज़ थोड़ा पढ़ना चाहिए।
The paragraph introduces the library, names two types of books, describes what students do, states a benefit and ends with a suggestion.
Check your own answer by counting five complete sentences. Underline each verb, and check whether it agrees with its subject. If a sentence gives a location, check the case ending.
