Reach For The Top | Grade 9 English - CBSE (Santosh Yadav and Maria SharapovaPDF of Notes available on - http://slideshare.net/parveenwrites The lesson "Reach for the Top", Talks in detail about the success stories of two women from different walks of life. Part one talks about Santosh Yadav, a mountaineer, who is the first Indian woman to scale Mount Everest twice. Her story inspires all young girls to chase their dreams. Hailing from a village with conservative ideas, which did not believe in education for girls, Santosh was rebellious enough to get herself educated. She went to college and stayed away from her house, which was a brave thing to do on those days. She found her passion later in life but developed her skills and went on to become the best.This shows that one can discover their passion at any point in life, but they just need enough determination to pursue it. If one has the right kind of skills, then no one can stop them from becoming a pro. This is very similar to the case of Maria Sharapova, a Russian tennis player. Her life teaches that no matter what other people say or treat you like, the answer should be one's own success. She struggled from a very young age with no attention from her parents and harsh treatment from other pupils. But she clearly focussed on the vision and proved herself.TEXT Reading - CIET AudiobookDescription - YaClass

The lesson "The Beggar" was written by Anton Chekhov. The story opens with a beggar named Lushkoff was begging alms to an advocate named Sergei. The beggar said that he was a school teacher who had lost his job by a conspiracy of his colleagues. While seeing the beggar's appearance, Sergei remembered that he had seen him previously at Savodiya street, claiming that he was a student who was expelled from school. Sergei became angry after hearing his lies and told him that he would call the cop. Then Lushkoff admitted that he had told the lies, and he was a member of a Russian choir and was expelled out due to his drunkenness. After hearing the truth, Sergei asked him whether he would like to chop wood for him. Then Lushkoff accepted the offer and went along with Sergei.  Sergei asked his cook Olga to make the beggar chop wood. The beggar was unable to chop the wood because of the overconsumption of vodka. After some time, Olga informed Sergei that he had chopped all the wood. Lushkoff was paid after his job. Later, Sergei decided to shift his house. He asked Lushkoff to help him in packing the furniture. After that, he offered him some work in his friend's company. Two years later, Sergei met Lushkoff outside the theatre. Sergei felt happy on seeing his changes. Lushkoff said that he was changed because of the kind words and good deeds of the cook Olga.
