STORIES

Questions related to stories must also be written in a certain order of ideas as follows-

• If the subject of the story is asked, then the summary of the story does not have to be written. The problem that the storyteller wants to explain has to be presented with examples.
• Choices should be chosen carefully in story-based multiple-choice questions.
• The answers to the questions of the stories are asked in 25-30 words, they should not cross the word limit while writing. The answer must be relevant to the question asked. Consider the internal discount.

WRITING SKILL While you compose a paragraph, present the topic in just one paragraph. To create interest, and make it impressive, idioms and proverbs can be used appropriately. Ideas should be organised.

Note Remember not to make more than one paragraph in a paragraph composition, this will lead to deduction of marks. While composing a letter you should have the skill of writing a letter structure. Therefore, writing practice of 5-6 letters should be done.

GRAMMAR SKILL Under this, students need to prepare sentences and Akhanas (proverbs). Memorise the rules of sentence exchange and practice these as well.

• For the preparation of Akhanas, you have to memorise these sayings like a poem. Only after understanding the meaning, the knowledge of use in sentences will come and the use of textbook-based coding to the situation.
• For the textbook-based questions, write the name of the poem in the context of the poem and the name of the poet. Then don’t forget to write the central meaning or main ideas of the passage.
• Simplification should be done according to the order of the lines asked in the explanation.
• Choose the options with more thought in the multiple-choice questions on poetry.
