Part 3: Translation

Translate the following passage into Urdu (20 marks).

Many of us living in cities have very little contact with wildlife. We may have a pet like a cat or a dog or even a parrot. However, we really don’t see many wild creatures unless they are unwanted ones such as mosquitoes, flies or other insects. Even if there is a local zoo, the environment in which these animals are kept is very often artificial and different to their natural homes.

Recently mental health experts have been looking into the importance of keeping contact with the natural world. They have found out that just watching programmes related to nature on television is beneficial for both young and old. According to researchers, participants aged between 16 and 24 showed the biggest decrease in tiredness and anxiety. Watching animals for just half an hour can change people’s attitude to life and make them smile.

When interviewed, the maker of the most popular nature programmes on television said: ‘It is very encouraging to see how bringing audiences closer to animals and plants can generate such positive emotions as well as educating them’.
