Answer:
A hot summer is more a punishment than a gift. The unbearable heat makes us uncomfortable and lethargic.
The period between dawn and sunrise is a lovely sight. The twilight scene is most appealing. The calm and serene atmosphere, the cool and bracing climate and the refreshing breeze soothe our spirits. The sweet chirping sound of birds appears to be the most enchanting.
After some time, we can see the golden disc of the rising sun in the East. It is slightly hot. But as the day advances, temperatures keep increasing. People who are out, begin to come back in order to avoid the oppressive heat. At noon the sun is red hot. People are hardly seen outside. Farmers stop ploughing their fields during these hot hours. The doors and windows of the houses are closed. People sit in their rooms, which are kept cool by fans, desert coolers and air conditioners. Some have to go to the offices. Their clothes become wet with perspiration. One feels very uneasy due to this.
The afternoon is the hottest. The piercing rays of the sun fall on the ground. The heat is unbearable and oppressive during the afternoon.
Modern science has made summer very comfortable. We can even enjoy the luxury of controlling the temperature in our room all round the year.
But in the evening, when the sun begins to set, people again come out. Gardens, public parks and city centres again hum with activity. Then people relish ice creams and cold drinks.
Explanation:
The story is narrated by a French boy, Franz. He is lazy but sensitive and likes to play. He dislikes studying French and hates his teacher M. Hamel.
After overpowering their districts of Alsace and Lorraine in France, Berlin has ordered that German language instead of French be taught in the schools there.
It is the last day of their French teacher M. Hamel, who has been there for forty years. He is full of grief, nostalgia and patriotism. As a mark of respect to his hard work, the village men also attend his ‘last lesson’. They are sad as they did not learn their mother tongue, French in their childhood.
Franz is shocked to know that it’s his last lesson, as he does not know French. Now, suddenly, he gets interested in learning it and understands everything taught on that day!
He develops an instant liking for the teacher, M. Hamel and respects him for his sincerity and hard work.
He feels sad at departing from him and is ashamed for not being able to recite the lesson of participles.
M. Hamel tells them that they all are at fault for not being eager enough to learn, putting it off to the next day. He blames himself for not teaching them sincerely.
His patriotism is reflected in his praise for the French language as being the most beautiful and most logical language in the world. He tells the class to guard their language as being close to one’s language is the key to escape from the prison of slavery. It will help them in getting free from the Germans.
They realize the importance of learning their mother tongue and that they have been defeated by the Germans because of their illiteracy.
Franz feels that it is not possible to take away one’s language from a person as it is natural to each being, may it be the “coo” to the pigeons or “French” to the Frenchmen.
