respectively.

Paper – I

Part – A: Reading Comprehension – 15 Marks
Creative Writing – 10 Marks

Preparation of Paper – I

Paper-I is totally textual based. It is advised to read the text book thoroughly covering all A, B and C Reading units. Students should be well – versed with the speaker of the content and the context of all the units. The answers should be short and relevant to the topic.

Learn to understand figures of speech prescribed in the curriculum – Simile, Metaphor and Personification. Students should have a good knowledge in the textual grammar given at the end of every unit. Having proficiency in Voice, Direct and Indirect Speech, Relative and Adverbial Clauses, Phrases, etc. would be an added advantage.

Regarding Creative Writing, students should have a good command over the language and should know the correct sequence of details of the first three units. This would help them when they write a Conversation/ Description/ Diary Entry/ Script for Speech. Be aware of the themes mentioned in the Text Book.

Gain awareness of current affairs too so that you can write on the most recent incidents. Good presentation of the answer will always be rewarded with the best marks.

Paper – II

Reading, Observation and Analytical skills are tested where as in Letter Writing (Formal/ Informal) and in News Report, the Writing skills are analysed keeping in view of the format that is to be followed.

Students should be logical enough to guess the right and meaningful order of any given story. In Grammar, students should have a grip over Antonyms, Synonyms, Spellings, Idioms, Phrasal Verbs, One Word Substitutes, etc. to score full marks.
