Sample Paper of Class 9 English Language and Literature – in PDF
English Language and Literature have two books that are Behive and Moments. Apart from these books, there is one more book on English grammar and writing skills. It is Words and Expressions. So, Class 9 English Sample Paper 2022-23 has questions from all these three books.
Although all schools prepare their own question papers for class 9 annual examinations yet they have to follow the set guidelines issued by CBSE. The board gives schools two options. They can download question papers from the CBSE official website or they can create their own paper and send it to CBSE for final approval. So, in both cases, the question paper format will remain uniformly the same in terms of difficulty level and typology of questions.

Class 9 English Section A Reading
- Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
- As the family finally sets off from home after many arguments, there is a moment of lull as the car takes off. “Alright, so where are we going for dinner now?” asks the one at the driving wheel. What follows is a chaos, as multiple voices makes as many suggestions.
- By the time, order is restored and a decision is arrived at, tempers have risen, feelings injured and there is at least one person grumbling.
- Twenty years ago, you would step out of home, decision of meal and venue already made with no arguments or opposition and everybody looked forward to the meal with equal enthusiasm. The decision was made by the head of the family and the others fell in line. Today every member of the family has a say in every decision which also promotes a sense of togetherness and bonding.
- We empower our kids to take their own decisions from a very early age. We ask them the cuisine they prefer, the movie they want to see, the holiday they wish to go on and the subjects they wish to study.
- It’s a closely connected world out there, where children consult and guide each other. A parent’s well meaning advice can sound like nothing more than unnecessary preaching. How then do we reach our children through all the conflicting views and make the voice of reason be heard? Children today question choices and prefer to go with the flow.
- What then is the best path to take? I would say the most important thing one can do is to listen. Listen to your children and their silences. Ensure that you keep some time aside for them, insist that they share their stories with you. Step into their world. It is not as complicated as it sounds; just a daily half an hour of the quality time would do the trick.

- The Prize Distribution or The Annual Day of Your School: The Annual function of our school was celebrated on the 21st September. Preparations started long before the due date. On the 21st September, the school gave a festive appearance with a big pandal, well arranged seats. It was tastefully decorated. Our Chief Guest, the Chief Minister of Delhi, arrived at exact 10 a.m. Our Principal and the other officers welcomed her. The band was played and the scouts saluted the guests. After ‘Vande Matram’, the lamp was lighted by the Chief Guest. ‘Saraswati Vandana’ followed. The Principal welcomed the guests with bouquets of flowers and with words.
Then, he read the annual report. It reflected the achievements of the school. A short cultural programme was staged. The prizes were given away by the Chief Guest. Then, the Chief Guest addressed the students and the teachers. She congratulated them on their achievements and excellent results. After a vote of thanks, the guests were given a light refreshment. The function ended at 1 p.m. It was a grand function memorable for me because I had also got four prizes.OR
This summer, we planned a vacation in Singapore. My father’s cousin lives there. They had been calling us since long. It was a planned vacation so tickets were booked in advance. The responsibility was given to mom as she searched for the best deals through various internet sites. We spend many nights planning and finalising the itinerary and finally a time table was approved by all just a week before. Our flight was in the morning at 8 am so we hit the road at 7 am in the morning to reach the airport by 6 am. On the way mom kept on enquiring about the lights, fridge, AC and door were locked or not. I and my brother were sleeping in the backside of the car. At the airport we clicked few photographs, posted them on our social media platforms and enjoyed the likes. The flight was on time and we boarded our plane and travelled through the Indian Ocean to reach Singapore in about seven hours. Uncle and aunt both were there at the airport to receive us. We travel over the roads of Singapore among skyscrapers and beautiful landscape to uncle’s home. It was late evening and we all were tired due to jet lag. We had our dinner and slept off early. Our itchy feet woke us up very early and we all sat down with our coffee cups to plan the day ahead of us. We thought of going for scuba diving. We reached at the centre and we thought of travelling light as most of the required accessories were available. The diving spot was at the far south horn of the bay where there were huge steep rock faces and underwater caves. Half an hour later, while I was swimming around 60 meters from the shore, a calamity struck. As I was swimming next to a lone rock, suddenly a huge wave came and crashed on me, taking me by surprise. It completely rolled my body around and I totally lost my sense of direction. I was short of breath and I was squirming around, splashing and trying to find where the air was. I swam up fast, penetrated the surface, on the home stretch, I took a breath of air, and then, afraid of the next wave coming, looked around. Then like any port in a storm, my coach came looking for me with all sorts of help. This huge wave was like a stopover for me. We all came back as I had severe headache and dizziness. We continued with our plan for next few days and then finally we departed from Singapore to be back with memories forever.

20th July, 20XX
Friday, 8:00 pm
Dear Diary,
Indian summers can be really unbearable. And who can live in peace and comfort when the heat waves start blowing over the plains of north India. It was the 20th of July, 20XX, the most miserable day of my life. It was certainly the hottest day of the season. By noon the heat became unbearable. To avoid dehydration, we had already had several litres of cold water. I had to go to the market. I forgot to wear a cap. By the time I reached home, I was very miserable and started vomiting. To make things still worse, there was a breakdown of electric power during most part of the night. Without the working of fans and air-conditioners, we felt miserable. We spent a sleepless and miserable night.

Honesty Pays in the Long Run A woodcutter was chopping down trees on the bank of a river. His hands were so much wet with his sweat that he lost his grip over the axe. It slipped away from his hands and fell down into the river. The poor man couldn’t even swim. He thought that his axe was lost forever. He was very sad. Suddenly there was a flash of light. The god of the Forests appeared before him. The woodcutter explained what had happened. The god consoled him, “Don’t you worry. I’ll get back your axe for you. He dived into the river. After some time he came out with an axe. It was made of gold. Is this yours? he asked. The woodcutter only said No! After a few minutes, he came out of the river with another axe. It was made of silver. “No, no, sir, this is not mine, said the woodcutter. He dived again and came out with the third axe. The woodcutter cried loudly looking at the axe Yes, it’s mine – the woodcutter’s axe with an iron blade.” The god of Forests was impressed with the woodcutter’s honesty. “Keep all three of these axes as a present from me.” The god uttered these words and disappeared. The woodcutter felt glad that he found his axe and a reward too. He finished his work and went home. He then told his wife and children the whole story what happened. It remained as the best example for their children to learn that honesty pays in the long run.

Santosh was a very rational, progressive, and sensible girl, who wished to shape her life herself. Though it was not easy for a girl to fight the rigid system of those times. She waited patiently for the right moment to take up the issues with the orthodox, irrational and hackneyed traditions that obstructed her aspirations and her goals.

He picked up the child in his arms and saved him from getting walked over by the people. He risked his safety to make sure that the child was safe. He forgot his purpose of visiting the shrine and did his best to comfort the scared and anxious child. He very kindly inquired about his parents. Even when the boy did not reply he did not lose his patience. Instead, he tried to make him feel better by offering him things that children generally love and desire to have.
The strange man also tried to distract the child so that he could help him find his parents. He handled the boy with love and care which reflected his love, compassion, and kindness.
