Class 7 English My Early Days in England

C. 1. Gandhiji's friend treated him as his own brother. He initiated Gandhiji  into English ways and manners and gave him necessary practice in speaking in English.
2. Gandhiji's main problem was his not getting proper food. He was a pure vegetarian and vegetarian food was not easy to come by.
3. Gandhiji spent a lot of time reading newspapers. In fact, he developed liking for reading newspaper. Secondly,  he would go out searching for a vegetarian restaurant.
4. Gandhiji changed himself in and out to be like an English gentleman. He got new clothes, a chimney-pot hat , an expensive evening suit and ties for himself. His brother sent him  a double watch-chain in gold and he started visiting the barber regularly to get a shave and hair cut. Not contented with all this, he took lessons in dancing,French, elocution and playing violin.

5. The name 'Mr Bell' reminded Gandhiji that he was wasting time over things which would not be of much help once he went back to India. He realized that he was a student and he had come to England to pursue his studies for the Bar Examination. As a result, Gandhiji gave up his efforts to become an English gentleman and became a serious student.
HOTS.
1. Yes, the intruder has brains. He has made a plan to replace himself with Gerrard. He plans to eliminate him and live in his house as Gerrard. He has studied him and his activities carefully and chalked out his plan to escape the police. He is almost able to carry out his plans.
