There is an argument that strict attendance is not necessary to ensure quality of higher education as students these days have enormous opportunities to gather information and thereby get prepared to meet any academic quality standards.
How far do you agree or disagree with this statement? Jaypees. Level II 1/4/09
Quality of education is ensured by many factors like a curriculum, faculty, timetable, evaluation and a set of rules and regulations, to mention a few. And education is not simply the collecting of information from external sources. So it is hard to endorse the view that strict attendance is not necessary. 45 words
The first and foremost factor disagreeing with the view is that strict attendance ensures organized learning. When students are asked to follow strict attendance, they get the feel of a system working towards their holistic academic and personal development. The same will make them pick up much more than academic skills and knowledge. For example: when a student attends class regularly, s/he comes to enjoy the benefits of direct class room learning, regular monitoring by the faculty, and he or she gets evaluated periodically and learns the basics of time management and the need for following rules and regulations. So, strict attendance is crucial. 90 words
On the other hand, it is very difficult to prove that strict timetable is not necessary just because students these days are able to collect information from other sources. Quality education is not mere collecting of information, and even if one is able to gather all necessary information, a candidate may not be able to meet the challenges of life. And an educated person is supposed to possess many skills and qualities. For example; a self educated person may have great knowledge about a particular field, but it is his other soft skills that go into the making of his success in today’s completive world. 90 words
Therefore, it is right to conclude that strict attendance is as important as any other factor that ensures quality of education: like curriculum, faculty, timetable etc. Education, of all types, needs to stick to some attendance parameters to ensure quality of education. 40 words

Vote share of CPI, CPI-M and INC
The line graph presents data on the share of votes three major political parties, CPI, CPI-M and INC, had in the elections held between 1977 and 2004.
In 1977, CPI had 10.38 votes, but it came down to 6.52 in the following election. It came still down to 6.21 in 1989. In the following elections till 2004 the party’s share of votes stood between 8.12 and 7.89.
If we compare these figures with that of CPI-M, it had nearly two times more votes in 1977, 20.33, but in the following year, it recorded a low, taking it to 19.09. The following elections recorded a higher percentage, elevating it to 22.27 and 22.28 in 1984 and 1989. In the following three elections, the percentages hovered between 20.72 and 21.00. It recorded a huge increase in 1999 and 2004, taking it to 31.51.
When it comes to INC, it had 29.13% votes in 1977. In the following election, it suffered nearly 3% drop. Two elections followed recorded its all time high percentage, 41.71. In the elections of 1991,1996 1998 and 1999, its percentage remained between 38.78 and 39.35. But in 2004 it had a steep fall, from 39.35 to 32.11, the biggest fall ever.
It is obvious that CPI did not have any major increase or decrease over the years, but the other two had remarkable variations in their respective shares.

Some people argue that the business of running a nation needs to be in the hands of emerging young leaders, while others are of opinion that it should be done by senior leaders.
· Which argument do you endorse, and state why?
It is generally accepted that running a nation is a serious business, and there is controversy on whether it should be done by young leaders or it is the job of senior leaders. I for one am of opinion that it should be done by the young. 45 words
There are points to establish the fact that it is a good idea to give the reins of the nation to the hands of young leaders. The primary argument is that young leaders have great vision and spirit to take the nation forward. Secondly, these leaders will take great pride in their being what they are, and they would do their best to the welfare of the nation. Thirdly, younger leaders are less prone to corruption and similar asocial activities than the old ones whose aim is to be in the seats of power somehow. 95 words
On the other hand, if a nation continues to be run by sexagenarian and octogenarian, there is going to be slow and passive functioning and poor participation. As they are too old, an emerging nation may not be able to cope with their conventional style of functioning. Besides these, a good number of old leaders are reported to be corrupt and they hardly understand the need for change. They want to be power dealers, not leaders. This situation can easily be averted if youngsters take up the reins of power. 95 words.
The above arguments make it clear that, in the present scenario, it is wise idea to let the emerging young leaders take the nation forward, and of course we can make use of the elder leaders’ expertise for many other nation building exercises. 40 words

Valentine’s day gifts among men and women.
The pie graph presents data on what men and women buy for each other on Valentine ’s Day in the US.It is obvious that among the items men buy for women, the things come under the category called ‘Other’ constitute 25%, followed by cards, 18%. The third most important gift item among men is flowers, 16% and it is followed by candy constituting 14%. When jewelry takes the fifth position with 10%, all other items like lingerie, spa/personal care and perfume/cologne share 7%, 6% and 4% respectively.
If we compare these figures with what women buy for their loved ones, card is the most popular gift among women; 27% followed by candy taking 21% whereas the third most item is ‘other’ 17%. When flowers claim 11%, perfume and cologne take 10 followed by jewelry with 9%. The least popular item is spa and personal care with 1%.
It is clear that card is the most popular gift women buy for men whereas things under ‘other’ are the most popular ones among men.

. Academic migration is widely being promoted these days.
· Why is this tendency common today?
Do you think it is good to be studying overseas?
It is true. Academic migration is more common than it was in the past. There are some many factors that contribute to this increasing popularity. And, of course, studying overseas is a good idea especially in these days of global opportunities. 40 words
The most important factor that makes academic migration common is today’s globalized world order where everyone is free to move beyond their national borders either for business, education profession or entertainment. For examples, students from poor nations are prepared to go to any distance to get world class education. Coupled with this is the competition among overseas universities for getting brilliant and financially well off students. It is known to all that universities abroad need funds to run their courses, and they find overseas students as cash cows. And there are many other minor factors like employment opportunities, learn-and-earn at the same time, to mention a few. 100 words
There is no disagreement on the view that it is good to be studying overseas. The major benefits are: firstly, overseas degrees are accepted world over and those ones who get through overseas courses get better employment options in rich counties. Secondly, studying in a multicultural, international location itself is a brilliant learning experience. Thirdly, there are excellent class rooms supported by the best of study aids, and renowned faculty, and students get great exposure to the latest in the fast changing world. And finally they happen to pick up many life, core and soft skills from overseas environments. 95 words
To conclude, academic migration is bound to be popular in the coming days too as more and more students are attracted to the conveniences offered by foreign universities. And of course it is good to be doing a course overseas in many more ways than one. 45 words

Many poor economies are poor not because they do not have the resources to become rich, but because they do not have the means to tap their available resources.
How far is this true in your opinion?Jaypeesdoc. 26/3/09
The major factors that decide the strength of an economy are human resource, natural resource and market resource. If we look at the poor economies around the world, we can see that they all have enough such resources. But, they do not have the means to tap them so that they could be rich. 55 words
Many poor economies are suffering not from resource crunch but from poor support resources to tap the resources they have. Many poor economies are blessed with great natural resources. For example, African countries have great gold and oil reserves, but they do not have the means to tap them as it demands a lot of infrastructure and technical know-how. Though the rich nations have them, poor nations do not have access to such facilities. Naturally their resources remain untapped and they keep going poor. 85 words.
To make it clearer, let us look at another example. India is a huge manpower destination. But it does not have the infrastructure to accommodate this much educated manpower. So, excellent manpower and their contributions go waste leaving the nation poor. So is the case with its enormous tourism potential. India is not fully equipped for tapping all the tourism prospects it has. And finally, it is equally known that third world nations are huge markets. But these market resources are exploited by the rich. 85 words.
The above points and examples make it right to conclude that poor economies are poor due to their inability to tap their available resources. If the rich nations around the world could extend a helping hand to these economies, they may slowly become rich nations in the coming days. 45 words

School is the ideal place to run awareness programmes of all types.
What makes schools ideal for running all awareness programmes?
Do you think there are some programmes that cannot be run at schools?
School, a place where children learn all the basics of life, is the right place to run awareness programmes of any type. There are many factors that make school ideal for the same. And, if wisely implemented, there is virtually no programme that is not fit for school children. 45
If we look at the factors that make schools ideal, the foremost thing is that school has an excellent system in place. That is, there is a great mix of students, who follow a strict timetable, go through a regular course of study, and follow a certain rules and regulations. Secondly, children are in their formative years and they are inquisitive enough to grasp things according to their grades and comprehension levels. And finally, they have a rare faculty of following the words of their teachers very seriously. So catching them young is right, and school is the ideal place for the same. 100 words.
When it comes to whether there are some programmes that cannot be run at schools, I do not think there is one that cannot be run. It all depends upon how wisely we select the programmes and how intelligently we implement them. That is, we have to take into account the students’ level of learning, gender, socio-cultural backgrounds and age groups. If these things are looked into, awareness programmes of all types are fit for schools; even awareness on sex is possible provided we give it to students when they turn to their teenage. 90 words
The above points make it clear that school time is the best time to make children pick up the basics of life through curricular and co-curricular activities. Awareness programmes are not exceptions. No matter what they are about, it all depends upon how wisely we go about it. 45 words

Some youngsters wait for years for their dream jobs to come by, whereas some others take up whatever opportunity that comes their way right after their studies.
What advantages do they both enjoy?
Today, life without a job cannot be imagined, and most youngsters cherish some dreams about heir jobs. However, it is seen that some pick up all opportunities they come across, while some others wait for long for their dreams jobs. Anyway, both the groups enjoy numerous benefits. 45 words
To begin with, youngsters selecting careers early in their life reap loads of advantages. Firstly, they start earning early. This makes them responsible and it develops skills like money management and wise spending of time, eventually improving their standard of living. Secondly, they face numerous challenges that help them pick up variety of experiences, both professional and social. Finally, even though early career selection may halt their higher studies, they opt for recent technologies to procure professional skills thereby raising their potentials according the demands. This results in the formation of a very energetic and productive youth, the real asset of a nation. 95 words
When it come to those youngsters who wait for years for their preferred job, it is obvious that they do enjoy countless advantages. Foremost one being their satisfaction; that is, if one is able to secure the job one dreams of, then there is no room for any doubt that the person starts worshipping that job and bringing out his/her best. Consequently, the time one spends waiting for that job, foolishness in others’ views, is not at all a waste of time as it makes one usher in peace and prosperity in one’s personal and professional life. That is what a good career is supposed to bring about. 90 words
The above points make it true that whether one selects a career early in one’s life or waits for a dream job is not a matter of any concern because both are equally beneficial. As every individual is unique, it is, of course, the personal interest that drives each one to attain a job of their choice. 50 words

Some youngsters wait for years for their dream jobs to come by, whereas some others take up whatever opportunity that comes their way right after their studies.
What are the disadvantages of early career selection?
Do you think it is advantageous to wait for years for a dream job?
Selecting the right career is highly challenging these days compared to the past, but it is easier to find a job today as there are so many opportunities. Though early career selection has some disadvantages, waiting long for a dream job is no good idea. 45 words
The primary disadvantage is that it forces the individual to quit his studies and encourages him to put in all his efforts to his career. This leads to huge shortage in highly qualified people in the society. Secondly, it makes individuals workaholics making them suffer from occupational hazards much early in their life. Thirdly, when youngsters become financially independent, they fail to manage their quick income, and they even pick up bad habits and tendencies. Some of them even break away from their bonds and go hyper independent. This is no good. 90 words
However, waiting for a dream job for ages is no good either, because world is marching much faster and the need for keeping pace with the developments is more important today than it was in the past. Besides this, waiting does not many one any better, instead if one is able to do something right after one’s education, he or she can pick up different professional skills. And finally, people may spoil their most productive years for a dream job. Why not work and do something towards realizing one’s dream job? It is good. 90 words
Therefore, it may be concluded that career selection is of greater significance today. But one’s success is determined by many factors; like when and how wisely one selects it. And coming to waiting for a dream job for long? It is earlier better, if the choice is right. 45 words

It is a fact that everybody gets 24 hours a day, but majority of the people complain of
what social scientists call ‘Time Poverty’.· Why is this complaint very common today, compared to the past?· Make your own suggestions to overcome time poverty.
There is no argument against the fact that time is precious. But these days, people complain that they run short of time. This was not so in the past. There are many factors that lead to time poverty, and it could be tackled by taking some wise measures. 45 words
The major factors may range from poor management to laziness and ignorance. First of all, many people do not know how to manage their time. They simply waste time and complain of time poverty. Secondly, compared to the past, many people are engaged in much more activities than what they are able to handle. This is because of the pressures of modern life. Thirdly, people take time in terms of money. This never ending need for money and material greed, make people take up responsibilities far beyond their limits of endurance. Result is what social scientists call time poverty. 90 words
This can be overcome in many ways. First of all, people should know what prioritizing is. They should distribute time according to the seriousness of the issue. For example, a thing that needs immediate attention needs to be done first. Secondly, there should be pre-planning. That is, one should anticipate what is in store, so that one could allocate time accordingly. A third option could be the art of saying ‘no’. Some people take up all impossible jobs and finally they end in time poverty. Finally, it is a good idea to maintain Work Life Balance. 90 words
To conclude, it is right to put that time poverty is manmade. And it is man’s helplessness to manage time that makes him suffer from it. Wiser management techniques will help a person lead a balanced life with enough time for everything; work, life, leisure and the like. 45 words

It is a matter of great concern that many highly educated youngsters in the third world nations are found to be followers of terrorist outfits, drug mafias and organized criminal rackets.
Why is this tendency so common in poor nations?
What are the major consequences of this grave issue? 11.3.09.
Educated terrorists, drug peddlers and criminals are breeding much faster today than ever before, and there presence is particularly rampant in third world nations compared to the rest of the world. Causes for such state of affairs are many and the consequences are disastrous. 45 words
To begin with, the primary reason is that the educated younger generation in these nations is disappointed and frustrated on many grounds. For example, unemployment, discrimination and rich poor divide, to mention a few. Naturally, they develop a tendency to tread wrong ways to keep their life going. Secondly, these nations are highly populated and the governments there are mostly corrupt and incompetent, and they fail to meet the challenges posed by terrorist outfits, drug mafias and organized criminals. And finally, the educated face many challenges like rising cost of living, lack of opportunities and falling social values. No wonder they fall prey to the temptations of antisocial elements. 105 words.
Needless to say, the ramifications are disastrous and long lasting. Primarily, the future of the nation will be threatened. The educated are the future of a nation, and if they succumb to these divisive forces, there is going to be no peace, prosperity and future. Secondly, younger brains will be grossly misused to upset the normal life of the whole world. This is particularly so because terrorism, drug menace and organized crimes do not have any borders. Consequently, the whole world will be under the threat of these outfits which in turn will stall the engines of growth and development. 95 words
Considering the above points, it is right to conclude that educated terrorists and asocial elements will be a great threat to the third world nations, and the aftermath in the long run will not spare the rest of the world. So it is time these nations did something to stem this menace and free the world from chaos.55 words

The woman of the new generation is conscious of her equality in society and does not shy away from claiming her due shares from society if that bring growth and development in her life.
What makes new generation women independent?
What all ways do they bring in development?
Women have come a long way over the years. They are no more shy; instead they have become a formidable force1 competing for their shares. And nations around the world now recognize2 their role in contributing substantially to growth3 and development. They do it in many ways. 45 words
There are many factors that make today’s women more independent and assertive compared to their counterparts of the past. The most important factor is education4. Women these days are as educated as men, and they take up all sorts of jobs done by men. For example: positions in management, IT and industrial and defense to mention a few. Naturally, this equality in gender makes them grab the opportunities5 in-country and abroad. This turns them increasingly financially independent. Other minor factors are the changes in attitude6 of the society and women-friendly reform measures initiated by government organizations and NGOs. 90 words
Women are able to bring in developments in many ways. This is particularly true when it comes to grassroots level development. Educated and financially independent women can make huge changes in their family7 first and the immediate society8 next. For example, educated empowered mothers are able to give better educate and healthcare to their children. Obviously, educated children will form a developed society. This results in better family atmosphere which in turn leads to peaceful society. And finally, their contributions towards developments will boost the economy9 by way of tax and related revenues. 90 words
So it is right to conclude that women play a decisive10 role in bringing in development and progress, and the factors that lead to this change may vary in future too. And their contributions11 will make great changes12 in human society world over. 40 words

Commercial advertisements most of the time are found to be exaggerating facts and figures in order to influence customers. However, these marketing exercises offer a lot of advantages to customers.
What advantages does a customer enjoy out of commercial ads?
In what all ways do advertisements influence people?
The mounting competition in the business world makes organizations resort to many tactics to win customer loyalty. One such tactics is exaggerating facts and figures in their advertisements. But it is fact that these advertisements offer customers many advantages, and they influence people in many different ways. 45 words
The first advantage a customer enjoys is that he gets competitive prices and quality products. For example, competing companies are forced to produce quality products in order to be popular in the market, and in the process of marketing it, they have to go for a competitive pricing, too. Secondly, advertisements educate the public about new products and services. Modern media brings everything indoors through TV channels and press ads. Besides these, advertisements help people access all the media cheaply, if not free-of cost. All media are by-products of advertisements. 90 words
There are many different ways through which ads influence us. First of all, advertisements are persuasive. Frequent exposure to a particular advertisement makes a person go for that particular product or service. So advertisements change the way people live their lives. Secondly, these commercial exercises create an impression in people that their life is incomplete without something. Actually this is a negative influence which leads to unnecessary expenses. And at last, not the least, advertisements are able to influence people’s thinking process. They take decisions according to the ads they regularly watch. 90 words
Concluding it, it is right to say advertisements have become very much part of our daily life. So it is a good idea to reap its positive benefits. And we may try to be intelligent enough to identify what is good and what is bad good for us. 45 words

Some people say globalization causes brain drain as developed nations increasingly exploit human resource from around the world, whereas some others say it leads to mutual global gains as the world is able to make better use of brains for the well being of the whole humanity.
How do you look at these view points? Cite examples to prove your point.
Globalization is an international arrangement reached among nations of common interests for the benefit of all. But there is heated discussion on the views that rich nations are causing brain drain on the one hand, and on the other, it is an adjustment for mutual gains of all. What I feel is that both the arguments are partly true. 55 words
When it is looked at from the point of view of brain drain, it is an undeniable fact that many rich nations are making use of the brains from poor nations. For example, a great number of scientists working in NASA and medical research labs of the US are scientists from around the world. The technological and financial superiority enjoyed by such rich nations is made possible greatly by the human resources from the rest of the world. These resources are paid handsomely but intellectual property cannot be equated in terms of money. 90 words
On the other hand, it is also indisputable that great amount of human resources is being wasted in poor nations for want of opportunities. For them, today’s concept of global village comes handy and many of them find great chances for employing their intellectual properties and expertise elsewhere. Of course, their contributions to the rich economies are likely to percolate to other parts of the world. For example, mutual transfers of know-hows. So exploiting brains, wherever they are from, is a better proposition than under-utilizing or not utilizing the brains at all. 90 words
So, it is right to conclude that globalization offers both opportunities and difficulties. But, if the member nations could exploit the opportunities for the betterment of the whole world, a few difficulties, whatever that may be, could be ignored. So it is a win-win for all. 45 words

Cue card attempt and related questions Solved in writing
I. Speak about a skill you wish to learn. You should say,
What that skill is.
When and how you want to learn it
How it will help you in your life.
Well, it is important that we master some skills to be successful in life.
There are many skills that I would like to lean in future.
The one I am very much serious about is driving.
We all know that it takes a little time to pick up this skill.
I wish to learn it within three/four months.
When it comes to how I am going to learn it,
Well, I would like to go for a formal training.
There are many driving schools nearby.
And they offer on the road and simulated driving classes.
Yes, this skill is going to help me in many ways.
As we are living in a fast paced world, mobility is very important.
If I could own a car, it will be easy for me to travel faster.
And of course, I will be able to enjoy a lot of free time as well,
because, faster mobility makes me save a lot of time.
Being a professional I need to keep appointments,
Like reporting in time, staying back late in the night.
Besides all these, I will be able to go distant places with my family,
Like pleasure trips, and visiting friends and families.
So, I think this skill will help me in many more ways than one. 200 words
Discussion questions.
1. Why are skills more important today than they were before?
Well, skills are very important. Because, modern life demands them.
Today professional atmosphere also looks for skills: like time management, decision making, multi-tasking and the like. The opposite was the case in the past. Life was less complicated, and work involved not much skills. So skills are more important today.
2. Do you think children can pick up certain skills much faster? If yes, why?
Of course, children are quicker in picking up skills.
It is primarily because they are highly receptive.
They are enthusiastic and interested.
As people grow older, the receptivity goes down, I believe.
3. What qualities one need to have to pick up a particular skill?
I think there are many. Most important quality is attitude.
Secondly, one should have enough patience, and finally the interest.
4. What are the major soft skills?
Soft skills as such are many. Some of them are: Communication skill,
time management skill, decision-making skill and so on.
5. Do you think better skill-sets make a person better in his life?
Yes, that is right, sir, I too think so. Because, in today’s fast paced life and working environment one needs to have some core and soft skills. They will make one perform better. Better performance, of course leads to better life.
Study this answer. Look at its length, vocabulary, personal phrases, pauses and stops. Try to follow these when you attempt other cards. It is important that you are not mugging up this answer; rather you develop your own answers. jaypeedoc. Source- www.jpsukham.blogspot.com

Advertisers are increasingly casting children in their advertisements promoting products and services. This tendency is seen more commonly in third world nations than in the rich.
· What advantages do advertises enjoy out of this?
· Why is this practice rampant in poor nations?
Advertisements of all types are ubquituous, and advertisers employ all possible tricks to win over customers. One of such ploy is employing kids. This tendency is rampant in poor nations as these nations are huge markets. But this is not so in rich nations where there are strict rules and regulations against this. 50 words
Obviously advertisers reap great benefits out of this tendency. Primarily, it helps them push in their products and services in to the market. This leads to greater market share and profit. Second advantage is that they do it much easily, as children in these nations are a force. For example, in nuclear families children influence the purchase decision of the family. Thirdly, it is right to say that these advertisers are investing in a huge market. When children are won over, they remain regular customers of a particular service or product. In rich nations this is discouraged by imposing rules on advertisement ethics. 100 words
However, it is this possible in poor nations. Reasons are many. First and foremost reason is the sheer size of the market. National and international manufactures and service providers are fighting one another to get their due shares from the emerging markets of the third world nations. Secondly, the middle income group in these nations is gaining great buying power thanks to the opportunities thrown open by globalization. Thirdly, these days, nuclear family is the order of the day, and these families are increasingly consumerist and materialistic. Coupled with these are the poor rules governing media ethics in the developing world. 100 words
So to conclude, advertisements have become very much part of our life. Instead of blaming them for exploiting children, it is a good to be intelligent enough to identify the advantages we get out of it the same way advertisers get benefited. And we may guard our children from being influenced by marketing media. 50 words

Today parents prefer boarding schools to regular schools to their children. What advantages does a student enjoy studying at a boarding school?
Today parents have many options for the schooling of their children; like public schools, government schools and boarding schools. And a student studying at a boarding school enjoys many advantages.
Primary advantage is that boarding school offers an exclusive learning atmosphere supported by efficient faculty, study aids and infrastructure. For example, in boarding students are observed individually, and their progress is monitored by efficient faculty and support staff. Secondly, boarding school gives a community experience which gives the inmates many opportunities to pick up the basics of social and personal life. This may include, decision making, problem solving, time management, sharing and helping and finally, they develop very good manners and etiquette. Thirdly, it helps children identify their hidden strengths and talents which in turn will help them better their future prospects.
And finally, boarding school education makes a student develop holistically, and he/she will be able to face the challenges of life much more confidently than other students who come from other streams. 160 words
Convicts leaving prison after completing their term face a lot of problems when it comes to leading a normal life. What are the major problems they face?
Crime and punishment are very much part of all societies. But when it comes to prisoners leaving jails after their jail terms, the attitude of the society towards them is almost same. So they face a lots of problems.
Firstly, ex-convicts are looked at with suspicion and distrust. It is a fact that they had done some crimes, and they got punished for the same as well. Still the society fails to accept this fact. Secondly, prisoners out of prison face a lot of emotional and psychological stress like depression, isolation and depravation. They are not welcome everywhere. This is much more haunting than those moments they had had among the four walls of their cells in jails.
Thirdly, these unfortunate human beings will not be able to lead a healthy personal or professional life because ex-convicts are not given jobs, and most of the time they are excluded from community and social circles. These are the most common problems they face. 160 words.
People today generate huge quantities of waste on a daily basis. What are the causes and effects of this?
-
It is a fact that waste is a by-product of human life. But today, the amount of waste generated on a daily basis is unmanageable, and this has many causes and effects.
The main cause is the rising popularity of consumerism. It leads to the promotion huge quantitative of consumer goods being bought and used by the public. And all these products come with both degradable and non-degradable wastes. Secondly, there is no proper waster management system in place. This leads to the accumulation of waste. Another factor that contributes to this is the use and throw culture promoted by consumer giants. Thirdly, people have a tendency to use a thing and throw it and but a new one. This is really dangerous.
The major consequences of this are pollution and unhygienic living conditions. Waste accumulation leads to the breeding of flies and mosquitoes. They in turn spread epidemics and pandemics. Other effects are: ecological concerns like death of soil, contamination of water and air. 160 words. Jaypeedoc.

What are you reading My Lord?
“Words, Words, Words”
The instructions, tools, keys, tips and tricks or whatever explained here are purely based on a number of tests I have done myself. Many of them are general instructions that could be right, sometimes wrong. Still, the possibility of getting a right answer is more if you follow these seriously. One more thing, reading involves a lot of reading. You have to have great reading skills like fast reading, reading for specific information, reading between lines, reading for a general idea, skimming the passage and the like. Please keep your knowledge on vocabulary, say synonyms, antonyms, equivalent phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions and at times some linguistic peculiarities of some words etc. may be of great use while doing reading.
Be a good reader to do better in reading. There is no short cut to the same. And don’t think that the following tips are shortcuts to a better score. All good scores are the result of the amount of related work done towards the given module. Listening, writing and speaking to mention the other modules in the IELTS. Good luck to you all.
General instructions
1. Never ever leave an entry vacant. There is no negative marking. Guess and write.
2. Write your answers neatly. Don’t leave out letters, apostrophes, prepositions and similar niceties of the language. It is a language testing exam.
3. Manage your time tactfully. Though all sections give you equal time, it is a good idea to finish the first section within 15/16/17/18/19 minutes, the second section in 18/19 minutes and finish the last section in 20 minutes. Utilize the remaining minutes to cross check your answer for spelling errors, singular plural errors, question sequences; that is you have written the answers exactly against the corresponding question numbers.
4. Remember reading does not give you 10 minutes at the end of the exam. You have to write your answers in the answer sheet as you go on reading.
5. The most important thing: read the instructions and questions prior to reading the text. This will give you clues to answers. Type of the question, number of words, etc. are vital in doing reading.
Here are some ways to do it:
Primarily, you have to have an attitude towards reading whatever literature you happen to put your hands on.
Secondly, read analytically, look how different people put in ideas differently. And finally, inculcate a sense of language as you go through different passages every time. Reading skill is a matter of patience, practice and attitude.
Reading: paragraph heading:
· 80 % paragraph headings could be located either from the first one/two sentences or the last one/two sentences of every paragraph.
· In these paragraphs, the first and last phrases of the sentences are more important than the rest of the sentences.
· This is because most of the time, the last/first phrases of these sentences happen to answer the questions that follow paragraph heading.
· Then look for the key worlds given in the headings and check if these key words are there in the first and last sentences.
· Some paragraphs go on describing an idea without giving any emphasis on any part of the paragraphs, say at the beginning or middle or end. These paragraphs are really confusing, and do not waste your time in such paragraphs. You have the freedom to write wrong answers, as you do not want 9 out of 9.
1. Beware of these following words: however, still, on the other hand, yet, but, on the contrary, similarly and in the same way. Whenever you find these words in a given paragraph, identify the idea put in there, for these ideas will be tools for framing other questions.
2. And the other questions will be framed with enough confusion so it is a good idea to read this area grammatically as well as analytically.
3. A good number of yes, no, not given, true, false, information is not given and the like questions are found to be created from these areas where you find these words.
4. These words give twists and turns and stops and starts to new ideas, comparison, generalization, conclusion and at times contradictions.
· Look out for italicized words, single quoted, double quoted words and phrases. They most of the time are answers or tools for questions.
· Strange words: sometimes proper nouns, unfamiliar expressions following an explanation will give you hints to locate a gap fill answer.
· When you find a particular word’s synonymous words or expression/s in the question, beware there will be a great possibility for an answer.
· Phrasal verbs are tracked in questions of true or false nature and you have to have some ideas about phrasal verbs.

Secondly, read analytically, look how different people put in ideas differently. And finally, inculcate a sense of language as you go through different passages every time. Reading skill is a matter of patience, practice and attitude.
Reading: paragraph heading:
· 80 % paragraph headings could be located either from the first one/two sentences or the last one/two sentences of every paragraph.
· In these paragraphs, the first and last phrases of the sentences are more important than the rest of the sentences.
· This is because most of the time, the last/first phrases of these sentences happen to answer the questions that follow paragraph heading.
· Then look for the key worlds given in the headings and check if these key words are there in the first and last sentences.
· Some paragraphs go on describing an idea without giving any emphasis on any part of the paragraphs, say at the beginning or middle or end.

4. These words give twists and turns and stops and starts to new ideas, comparison, generalization, conclusion and at times contradictions.
· Look out for italicized words, single quoted, double quoted words and phrases. They most of the time are answers or tools for questions.
· Strange words: sometimes proper nouns, unfamiliar expressions following an explanation will give you hints to locate a gap fill answer.
· When you find a particular word’s synonymous words or expression/s in the question, beware there will be a great possibility for an answer.
· Phrasal verbs are tracked in questions of true or false nature and you have to have some ideas about phrasal verbs.
· When you get answers like, no, not given, no, write the fourth one Yes. Or on the other hand, you get, yes, yes and no, serially, write the fourth one not given. And finally, you have been able to find answers like yes, no, not given and no, and you have only one question left, write yes. You may use your common sense in this case.
· As you go on reading, locate and underline strong thoughts, prominent ideas, their explanations and examples. Forget about those phrases that you find really difficult to understand. When there is an example used by the author, he is proving a point. There will an answer.
1. When it comes to multiple choice, do the following things wisely.
2. Read the question quizzically and analytically concentrating on the English of the question.
3. As you go on looking for the right answers, spare some time to locate the possible wrong ones. Eliminate them right-away. Elimination of the wrong ones will help you locate the right one.
4. In all multiple choices, there will be one option without any reference to the question. There will be two options; one right and the other misleadingly similar. Here you have to be clever.
5. Please identify the use of negatives and double negatives, either in the question or in their answers. This is a tricky way of creating questions.
6. And the next option is a critical one, but it is worth trying: If you find that all four answers are equally confusing or you are not able to tell apart which one is more right or wrong, pick out the longest answer and write the corresponding letter, a, b, c or d.
7. The above trick is applicable mostly when the shortest answer is not coming close to the right answer.
8. Last question will be from the last paragraph and most of the time at the last sentence. And to be precise, the last phrase will give you tips to an answer for sure.
9. If the last paragraph is so small, say a single long sentence, the answer will be at the end of the sentence.
10. The last word or the phrase will be an answer or a tip to an answer.
11. If a paragraph begins a small sentence less that half-line long. It is a key.
Gap fills:
· Read out the left and right of the gap to find out the type of word. A singular, plural, past of present or future form, noun or adjective,
· Check if the gap completes the sentences.
· Or if the gap begins a sentence. Words like, however, importantly …..
· Cancel out the used words if one word cannot be used two or more times.
· If the instructions tell you that you can use a word as many times as you want, please note that there will be a word which could be used 2 times.
· Remember, if a particular word that begins a sentence in the body text comes at the end of a given question, please note the answer can be reciprocated like, active and passive forms will be used, be careful here. This reverse question is easy to answer if you know a little about active and passive voices.
· There are many examples to show you one fact that a sentence or a phrase that has helped you find one answer or paragraph heading, will be key to one or more following questions like yes or no, true or false or not given. It is a better idea to note the key sentences.
Matching phrases with corresponding phrases:
Read the question phrase/s carefully, grammatically and quizzically.
1. Check if the phrase is looking for a singular match or a plural match, past or present match.
2. Check if the question phrase has a noun in it, so that the equivalent could be traced in the matching phrase.
3. Cancel out the used phrase.
4. Check if the question phrase is an if clause, if yes, you may look for its main clause.
5. The other way round is also possible, here you may look for the conditional clause.
6. Check if the question phrase is a negative or positive one. This will help you.
Yes, no, not given and information not given
· Beware of double negatives and negatives in the body text and their corresponding questions. Not in any way possible…Not that he dislikes it…. It is not in the inability but in the lack of attitude etc. It is not always impossible to reach at a conclusion…
· There will be one direct yes question and one direct no question. The not given question often has a strange/alien phrase with a little resemblance to one of the main ideas discussed. Here you have to be analytical. So such questions give you outright hints to say, not given is the answer.
· Imagine you have 5 such questions, and you got all four different answers but the unrepresented one is either yes, or no, or not given. Whatever it is write it.
· Ideas for No questions are normally taken from a long sentence, but a following small sentence or a question will give clues to it.
Paraphrasing is very important. Summarizing the thought in a few sentences or summarizing a sentence into a phrase or converting a phrase into a word etc. The last part is important, as there are some answers with word limits. When you get the idea from a long phrase or a small sentence, you have to meaningfully summarize it into the given word limitDistribution of questions among the sections and time management
Look at the number of questions in each section. If the first section has only ten, you can do it in 10 to 13 minutes. If the number of question is 15 or more, go for serious reading, you may have to use all 20 minutes for the same.
Follow the thought of the topic. And track the paragraphs in accordance with the sequence of questions. Most of the time questions are sequentially prepared.
Remember: every reading is an opportunity to learn more about reading. So never ever forget to develop a reading habit. No matter what you read, it is whether you read something or not, that matters.
Knowledge on the following is a must.
· Basic English grammar
· Punctuation
· Synonyms and antonyms
· Negative and positive forms
· Active and passive forms
· Idiomatic expressions
· Phrasal verbs and their corresponding main verbs
· Spelling and number consciousness
· And a sense of reading, the ability to infer meanings out of phrases, expressions, sounds, tones and explanations.

· As you go on reading, locate and underline strong thoughts, prominent ideas, their explanations and examples. Forget about those phrases that you find really difficult to understand. When there is an example used by the author, he is proving a point. There will an answer.
1. When it comes to multiple choice, do the following things wisely.
2. Read the question quizzically and analytically concentrating on the English of the question.
3. As you go on looking for the right answers, spare some time to locate the possible wrong ones. Eliminate them right-away. Elimination of the wrong ones will help you locate the right one.
4. In all multiple choices, there will be one option without any reference to the question. There will be two options; one right and the other misleadingly similar. Here you have to be clever.
5. Please identify the use of negatives and double negatives, either in the question or in their answers. This is a tricky way of creating questions.
6. And the next option is a critical one, but it is worth trying: If you find that all four answers are equally confusing or you are not able to tell apart which one is more right or wrong, pick out the longest answer and write the corresponding letter, a, b, c or d.
7. The above trick is applicable mostly when the shortest answer is not coming close to the right answer.
8. Last question will be from the last paragraph and most of the time at the last sentence. And to be precise, the last phrase will give you tips to an answer for sure.
9. If the last paragraph is so small, say a single long sentence, the answer will be at the end of the sentence.
10. The last word or the phrase will be an answer or a tip to an answer.
11. If a paragraph begins a small sentence less that half-line long. It is a key.
Gap fills:
· Read out the left and right of the gap to find out the type of word. A singular, plural, past of present or future form, noun or adjective,
· Check if the gap completes the sentences.
· Or if the gap begins a sentence. Words like, however, importantly …..
· Cancel out the used words if one word cannot be used two or more times.
· If the instructions tell you that you can use a word as many times as you want, please note that there will be a word which could be used 2 times.
· Remember, if a particular word that begins a sentence in the body text comes at the end of a given question, please note the answer can be reciprocated like, active and passive forms will be used, be careful here. This reverse question is easy to answer if you know a little about active and passive voices.
· There are many examples to show you one fact that a sentence or a phrase that has helped you find one answer or paragraph heading, will be key to one or more following questions like yes or no, true or false or not given. It is a better idea to note the key sentences.
Matching phrases with corresponding phrases:
Read the question phrase/s carefully, grammatically and quizzically.
1. Check if the phrase is looking for a singular match or a plural match, past or present match.
2. Check if the question phrase has a noun in it, so that the equivalent could be traced in the matching phrase.
3. Cancel out the used phrase.
4. Check if the question phrase is an if clause, if yes, you may look for its main clause.
5. The other way round is also possible, here you may look for the conditional clause.
6. Check if the question phrase is a negative or positive one. This will help you.
