Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Emma had always been a driven and ambitious student. She had a passion for science and
medicine, and her dream was to become a doctor. She worked tirelessly throughout her
college years, studying long hours and sacrificing her social life in pursuit of her goals.
Despite the challenges, Emma was determined to succeed and make a difference in the
world.
One fateful evening, while driving home from a late-night study session, Emma's life changed
forever. A car came out of nowhere and collided with her vehicle, sending it spinning out of
control. When the dust settled, Emma found herself trapped inside the wreckage, unable to
move or even scream for help. The accident had left her with a broken leg and several other
injuries. Emma was in shock and couldn't believe what had happened to her. She was
devastated to think that all her hard work and dedication had been for nothing. She would
now have to put her dreams on hold and spend months recovering from her injuries.
As Emma lay in the hospital, she was consumed with anger and frustration. She couldn't
understand why this had happened to her, why her life had been turned upside down in an
instant. She felt alone and helpless, unable to find any sense of purpose or meaning in her
suffering. But as the days turned into weeks, Emma began to notice something different about
the people around her. She met a nurse named Mary, who had been working at the hospital
for over twenty years. Mary had a kind and caring personality, which Emma found comforting
during her stay. She also met a patient named John, who had been in a car accident similar to
Emma's. John had suffered a spinal cord injury and was paralysed from the waist down.
Despite his condition, John was always positive and never gave up hope.
Emma soon realised that the accident had brought her into contact with these amazing
people and had given her the opportunity to learn from them. She learned from Mary how to
be kind and caring towards others, even in difficult situations. She learned from John how to
be positive and never give up, even when things seem impossible. After several months of
recovery, Emma was able to walk again, but she still faced many challenges. She had to work
extra hard to catch up with her studies and she had to adjust to life with a permanent scar on
her leg. However, she realised that the accident had taught her valuable lessons that would
help her become a better doctor. She had learned to empathise with her patients and to be
grateful for her own health.
Years later, Emma became a successful doctor and was known for her compassion and
empathy towards her patients. She often thought back to the accident and realised that it had
been a turning point in her life. It had forced her to slow down and appreciate the small things
in life. She was grateful for the people she had met during her recovery and realised that
without the accident, she may never have met them. This story reflects that whatever
happens, it happens for good. Even though the accident had seemed like a setback for
Emma, it had brought her into contact with amazing people and taught her valuable lessons
that she would carry with her for the rest of her life. Sometimes, the things we think are
obstacles are actually opportunities in disguise. It is up to us to find the silver lining and make
the best of every situation.
What was Emma's dream before the accident?

An important skill we all need to learn, in my opinion, is not to have preconceived notions
about anything. Having said that I also know how difficult a thing it can be!
To drop the burden of preconceived notions, we need to unlearn a few things, which again is
a tough thing to do. Very early on, we start cramming our brains with ideas and opinions.
These notions might have entered our mind from our family, parents, society or some of the
books we might have read. We need to understand the fact that everything in life keeps
changing and we just cannot stick to something only because that thought might have
entered our brains years back!
I always thought ice-creams or chilled items were bad for a child having a cold or a running
nose. I was terribly surprised when a GP in London told my four-year-old grandson with a cold
to go ahead and have a popsicle. Later I found out that there is no scientific evidence to prove
that an ice-cream or a popsicle can aggravate a cold!

The term ‘personalised learning’ has been in vogue for a long time. Earlier, it referred to a
one-to-one tutoring system, mostly for the privileged. Today, it refers to learning that prioritises
an individual student’s requirements and uses flexible instructional practices in terms of
content, pace and materials. Learning need not be linear as, sometimes, learners may have
to take a step back if not equipped with the necessary schemata to understand the content.
The entire learning process becomes student-centric and the students are encouraged to
design their own learning pathways.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Analytics play a major role in online and hybrid learning
platforms. Globally, HEIs are introducing programmes where AI provides the platform to
launch personalised learning. Technology provides a variety of materials in various formats to
suit different students and monitor and assess their progress. However, it does not undermine
the teacher’s role. There are areas such as communication and collaborative skills, and
emotional intelligence, which require human intervention. Therefore, the role of teachers in
personalised learning remains as important as it is in traditional learning. AI can never replace
educators; it can only enhance and support personalised learning by providing automated
tasks, assessment platforms and feedback.
Many paths of study emerge and all ultimately merge with the curriculum’s common learning
outcome. Thus, the pattern of education becomes student-centric. This systemic change
gives a new dimension to the teaching-learning process where teaching becomes counseling,
and the teacher becomes a mentor. The students are motivated to take control of their
learning and become autonomous.
