अनुच्छेद लेखन
पाठ का नाम
अनुच्छेद लेखन
अनुच्छेद लिखते समय निम्नलिखित बातों को ध्यान में रखना चाहिए -
1) अनुच्छेद लिखने से पहले रूपरेखा, संकेत-बिंदु आदि बनानी चाहिए। (कुछ प्रश्न-पत्रों में पहले से ही रूपरेखा, संकेत-बिंदु आदि दिए जाते हैं। आपको उन्हीं रूपरेखा, संकेत-बिंदु आदि को ध्यान में रखते हुए अनुच्छेद लिखना होता है।)
(2) अनुच्छेद में विषय के किसी एक ही पक्ष का वर्णन करें। (ऐसा इसलिए करना आवश्यक हो जाता है क्योंकि अनुच्छेद में शब्द सिमित होते हैं और हमें अनुच्छेद संक्षेप में लिखना होता है।)
(3) भाषा सरल, स्पष्ट और प्रभावशाली होनी चाहिए। ताकि समीक्षक या पढ़ने वाला आपके अनुच्छेद से प्रभावित हो सके।
(4) एक ही बात को बार-बार न दोहराएँ। क्योंकि एक ही बात को बार-बार दोहराने से आप अपने अनुच्छेद को दिए गए सीमित शब्दों में पूरा नहीं कर पाएँगे और अपने संदेश को लोगों तक नहीं पहुँचा पाएँगे।
(5) अनावश्यक विस्तार से बचें, लेकिन विषय से न हटें। आपको भले ही संक्षेप में अपने अनुच्छेद को पूरा करना है, परन्तु आपको ये भी ध्यान रखना है कि आप अपने विषय से न भटक जाएँ।
(6) शब्द-सीमा को ध्यान में रखकर ही अनुच्छेद लिखें। ऐसा करने से आप अपने अनुच्छेद में ज्यादा-से-ज्यादा महत्वपूर्ण बात लिखने की ओर ध्यान दे पाएँगे।
(7) पूरे अनुच्छेद में एकरूपता होनी चाहिए। ऐसा नहीं होना चाहिए कि कही कोई बात विषय से अलग लगे और पढ़ने वाले का ध्यान विषय से भटक जाए।
(8) विषय से संबंधित सूक्ति अथवा कविता की पंक्तियों का प्रयोग भी कर सकते हैं। इससे आपका अनुच्छेद बहुत अधिक प्रभावशाली और रोचक लगेगा।
(9) अनुच्छेद के अंत में निष्कर्ष समझ में आ जाना चाहिए यानी विषय समझ में आ जाना चाहिए।
अनुच्छेद की प्रमुख विशेषताएँ -
(1) अनुच्छेद किसी एक भाव या विचार या तथ्य को एक बार, एक ही स्थान पर व्यक्त करता है। इसमें अन्य विचार नहीं रहते।
(2) अनुच्छेद के वाक्य-समूह में उद्देश्य की एकता रहती है। अप्रासंगिक बातों को हटा दिया जाता है। केवल बहुत अधिक महत्वपूर्ण बातों को ही अनुच्छेद में रखा जाता है।
(3) अनुच्छेद के सभी वाक्य एक-दूसरे से गठित और सम्बद्ध होते है। वाक्य छोटे तथा एक दुसरे से जुड़े होते हैं।
(4) अनुच्छेद एक स्वतन्त्र और पूर्ण रचना है, जिसका कोई भी वाक्य अनावश्यक नहीं होता।
(5) उच्च कोटि के अनुच्छेद-लेखन में विचारों को इस क्रम में रखा जाता है कि उनका आरम्भ, मध्य और अन्त आसानी से व्यक्त हो जाए और किसी को भी समझने में कोई परेशानी न हो।
(6) अनुच्छेद सामान्यतः छोटा होता है, किन्तु इसकी लघुता या विस्तार विषयवस्तु पर निर्भर करता है। लेखन के संकेत बिंदु के आधार पर विषय का क्रम तैयार करना चाहिए।
(7) अनुच्छेद की भाषा सरल और स्पष्ट होनी चाहिए।
.निम्न में से किसी एक विषय पर अनुच्छेद लिखिए-
1.जीवन में खेलकूद का महत्व (कक्षा-कार्य)
2.समय का सदुपयोग (गृहकार्य)

The Road Not Taken CLASS 9
The Road Not Taken (Poem)
( Notebook work)
I.
Question 1.
Where does the traveller find himself?
What problem does he face?
Answer:
The traveller finds himself at a point where two roads diverge. His problem is to decide on which road he should walk.
Question 2.
Discuss what these phrases mean to you.
a yellow wood
it was grassy and wanted wear
the passing there
leaves no step had trodden black
how way leads on to way
Answer:
A forest in the autumn season.
The road was grassy because it was a less travelled road. It wanted people to move on it.
It implies walking on the road.
It means the leaves had not been crushed under the feet of travellers.
How one road leads to another?
Question 3.
Is there any difference between the two roads as the poet describes them?
in stanzas two and three?
in the last two lines of the poem?
Answer:
There is no difference between the two roads in stanzas two and three
In the last two lines of the poem the poet tells that the road he opted for is less travelled.
Question 4.
What do you think the last two lines of the poem mean? (Looking back, does the poet regret his choice or accept it?)
Answer:
The last two lines have the quintessence of the poem. The poet expresses his opinion that it becomes difficult for a normal human being to change his/her decision. The poet intends to walk on the first road but he couldn’t do so because life does not offer multiple chances to choose. The decision taken may mar one’s future or lead one to success. It makes all the differences. He now repents for not getting a chance to travel on the first road.
