I am Shipra Gupta.  I will try to provide you with best learning material. I am from India and I aspire to teach my native language to the people around the world. I belong to the north India region Delhi which has the basic language as Hindi. I also run the website HindiClassroom.com.

Villagers are superstitious. (Gaanvwasi abhi bhi andhvishwasi hai) गांववासी अभी भी अंधविश्वासी है !

In villages, people used to live in kachcha houses made of mud and straw. (Gaaon mein log kachche gharo mein rhate hai jo ki mitti aur bhuse se banaye jate hai) गाँव में लोग कच्चे घरो में रहते है जो की मिट्टी और भूसे से बनाए जाते है !

Roads are still unmetalled which are leading to and coming from the village. (Sadake aaj bhi kachchi bani hui hai jo gaaon ke andar aur bahar jaati hain) सड़के आज भी कच्ची बनी हुई है जो गाँव के अंदर और बाहर जाती हैं !

Its surroundings are covered with crops and other vegetation. (Ye kinaro par aanaj aur anya vanaspatiyo se ghiri hui hai) ये किनारो पर अनाज और अन्य वनस्पतियो से घिरी हुई है !

Streets are usually dirty due to the open drainage system. (Sadake jyadatar gandi hoti hai kyonki naliyon ka nikaaas sadako par hi hai) सड़के ज्यादातर गंदी होती है क्योंकि नालियों का निकास सड़कों पर ही है !

There is a pond outside the village outskirts. (Gaaon ke bahar ek chhota sa taalaab bhi hota hai) गाँव के बाहर एक छोटा सा तालाब भी होता है !

In a pond, cattle used to take bath. (Taalaab mein maveshi nahate hain) तालाब में मवेशी नहाते हैं !

There is also a well in the village from where villagers used to take water. (gaaon mein kuan hota hai jahan se gaanvwasi paani lete hai) गाँव में कुआं होता है जहां से गांववासी पानी लेते है !

People enjoy the free air as they do most of their work outside. (vahan log jyadatar swachh hawa me jite hai kyonki ve bahar hi jyada kaam karte hai) वहाँ लोग ज्यादातर स्वच्छ हवा में जीते है क्योंकि वे बाहर ही ज्यादा काम करते है !

Villagers have panchayat to solve their problems. (Gaonwasiyo apni samasya ka samadhan panchayat mein karte hai) गांववासियों अपनी समस्या का समाधान पंचायत में करते है !

Indian villages have merits as well as demerits. (Bharatiya gaon mein kuch kamiya hai to kuch fayde bhi hai) भारतीय गाँव में कुछ कामिया है तो कुछ फ़ायदे भी है !
