Introduction Notice   writing is an important part of English writing course in many education boards including CBSE. Notices are used in our life in many ways .Thus it is essential for us to understand utility, features and syntax of a good notice.

Importance of translation Dear students, If English is your second language, then translation from your native language to English and vice versa is essential to understand the English language. Your first language is our mother tongue. It took us practice of many years to command our mother language. In our childhood we learnt many words and sentence structures by imitating others. We repeated each new word literally hundreds of times. For learning our second language we need not go through same process because of two reasons. ·          First, our cognitive and grasping powers have improved. ·          Secondly we already know one language. It is good to learn English by comparing it with our first language . Best way is to translate some sentences of English into our mother language and observe and feel the differences in syntax of the sentences.          ...

Introduction You must have heard terms-paragraph, Essay, article and report. All these are different compositions. Paragraph is the most basic of them. All other compositions are consisting of paragraphs. Hence it is very important to understand nature of a paragraph to write other compositions. Unity of paragraph Basic idea is that a paragraph should have one thing. This thing can be an idea, one part of an idea, one concept, one aspect of a bigger concept or one dimension of a complex phenomenon. Whenever we change the idea, we should change the paragraph. Two or more things should not be mixed in a single paragraph. Size of paragraph Different ideas might need different number of words to develop. We can’t put word limit for a paragraph. Paragraph can be as small as a single line or it can be a full page paragraph. But in examination we are given word limit in paragraph writing. Generally this word limit is 100 to 125 words. Most of the time topics are such that we can write e...

When I discovered power of concentration There was a pin drop silence in the hall. People were waiting for professor’s turn to speak .His name had already been announced. He was coming to stage. He adjusted his mike. When he started to speak audience were all ears. He spoke very clearly on his subject which others considered very tough. He was the master of his subject. He loved to discuss with his students who in turn respected him. That day was his last day in the school. Students were very sad on his departure. He promised to come for special classes. I was also present in the audience. I always respected him for his sincerity and honesty. I didn’t want to miss even a single word. So I discarded all other thoughts that were coming to my mind. It was hard. There was a train of thoughts in my mind. I kept trying to neglect them. After a short time I was able to focus on speech. I succeeded to concentrate because I had keen interest in what sir was saying. I felt that interest is the...

             Every year more than1000 movies are produced in   India  .  But only a few of them become blockbuster. One such all time blockbuster movie is “3 idiots”. Story of the film is inspired by the famous novel of Chetan Bhagat. It is directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Casting is brilliant. Secret of success of this movie lies in its theme. Everyone is running a mad –race for becoming Engineer or doctor. It develops negative habits of cramming without understanding. Students suffer unnecessary pressure. Film says “Don’t run behind success, follow your passion and success will follow you”. This idea is serious but presented in very simple way. The whole tone of the film is humorous embedded with light songs. It touches my heart.    This is my favorite movie.

To The principal              KGIL public school Gamri,  Delhi . Subject = To start computer classes. Respected sir,              I am student of Xth . My roll no is 5. On behalf of my class I want to make a humble request. Sir, we have no computer classes. These days computer knowledge is essential in all spheres of life. We can see computers everywhere – in schools, homes, offices, shops etc. For a student without computer knowledge future is dark. Internet is a reservoir of information. These are lots of opportunities on internet to earn also. One can find many e-books, projects, models, study material on Internet free of cost. This provides a wonderful platform to grow. We are lagging behind many students of other schools who are studying computer in their schools. Kindly start computer classes in our school also. We’ll be highly obliged. Thanking you.

Last year I changed my school because my old school was a  primary school. I got admission in KGIL Public School in VIth class. On my first day in school, I reached on time. School was grand .There was much cleanliness .Students were gathering for prayer. I reached in my class with the help of a teacher. After payer class began. Teachers were very polite and good. Standard of education was high. There was good discipline. In the recess I went in canteen. It was very hygienic. I made friends very quickly. I learnt many new things on that day. It was a nice experience.I was very impressed with my new school. Memory of that day is still fresh in my mind. I can not forget that day.

Bazaars are very   important part of our life .It is a place from where we can purchase things of our choice. A bazaar offers variety of things. In a good bazaar we can find anything from needle to car. Since there are many shopkeepers selling same articles we can do bargaining .In this atmosphere of competition  customer is he winner.We can get things cheaply. Bazaar is a place of enjoyment also. Many people do window shopping. They only watch and know about the latest articles coming in the   market. One can find many eatables stalls and shops in the market .Thus Bazaar is a place where sellers and buyers meet. Both are benefited. Activities of bazaar are the most important for any economy.

Our mind has two parts- temporary and permanent. Permanent mind has lots of space to collect many types of information like text, picture, sound etc. It is almost infinite. In our whole life we use very small part of it. On the other hand our temporary mind has limited space. There is more important difference between these two parts. In temporary mind things stay only for sometime. Old things clear-out for making space for new things. Things in temporary mind either move to permanent mind or just discarded. Only ‘important’ things are stored in permanent mind others we forgot .On the other hand, once a thing goes to permanent mind it stays there forever. When we learn/memorize something, what we are actually doing is to transfer things to our permanent mind. Now question is -”how our mind decides which things is important and should be stored in permanent mind and which is not so important and can be forgotten? ”It is very useful to know the answer of this question because it wil...

Memory is a mystery. It separates Man from Animal.It separates Successful from Failure.It separates Brilliant from Mediocre . There are so many techniques which claims to be memory enhancer. But they rarely work. Its time to give deeper thought to the understanding of memory--the mystery. firstly ponder on following points-- (1)  Our memory is not equally sharp all  the time.Sometimes We can recollect things even after long time,but it was near impossible for a student to retain all the answers even for next day exam.So, memory has something to do with our state of mind during the time of storing things in the mind. (2)  During exam we learn and retain many things .If we write answers in paper then it proofs that things have been stored in our mind otherwise how could we have written the answers.But after a month or two we can recollect only few things. It means things are stored in our mind at two levels -- temporary level a...
