its a very good attempt.you have done well.dont worry after 2-3 more para you will managed it under an hour.your target must be 45-50 min.
i think you answers are ok i did little addition just a little.

Poetry the language of the imagination and the passion because it talks about human pleasures and pain,it depicts ones feelings and thoughts.

It is the universal language of the heart because every body in this world feels the same feelings of love, hatred , anger or any other type of feeling in the same way as others do and almost thinks in the same way as others think although their views differ .And poetry depicts all these emotions and feelings.

History only records the events and affairs of life and is quite borring and difficult to understand. It is replete with statistic and figures and is devoid of any feeling.Where as poetry is interesting and depicts your emotions and thoughts.

The writter says that without poetry man is beast and it is poetry which develops his thoughts and feelings and ultimately brings him to the status of poetical animal.Poetry refines and enlightens human mind .He is trying to make us understand that those who dont like poetry actually have no respect for themselves and world around them.

He calls a child poet when he plays hide and seek or when he repeates some story; he calls the newly wed shepherd_boy a poet when he imagines his wife as a queen;he calls a courtier a poet when he courts his patron and so on.The writer says that everyone makes their own world and live life accordingly,poet only describes their thoughts and actions.

best wishes

regards.

Thanks for the appreciation.I tried my best in this passege keeping in mind all the tips but again it took about 70 minutes .kindly check this and tell me what you opine on this.I think I have found the key .First of all I read it 4 to 5 times and then tried to give answers myself, it really worked.

2. Read the given passage, then give brief answers, to the questions placed at the end, in your own words: - (20)

There is indeed, something inexpressibly pleasing in the annual renovation of the world and the new display of the treasures of nature. The darkness and cold of winter with the naked deformity of every object, on which we turn our eyes, make us rejoice at the succeeding season, as well for what we have escaped, as for what we may enjoy. Every budding Flower, which a warm situation brings early to our view, is considered by us a messenger to notify the approach of more joyous days.
The spring affords to a mind free from the disturbance of cares or passions almost everything that our present state makes us capable of enjoying. The Variegated Verdure of the fields and woods, the succession of grateful Odours, the Voice of pleasure pouring out its notes on every side, with the gladness apparently conceived by every animal from the growth of liis food and the clemency of the weather, throw over the whole. earth an air of gaiety, significantly expressed by Smile of nature.
(Samuel John Son)
