hello everyone..i wanted to ask that should we prepare from the books that are given in syllabus or the other books??
many ppl have told me that the books in syllabus r not enough??so which other books should i use specially for english (precis and composition)..?????

Salam Sister,

"[B]Exploring The World Of English" [/B] by Saadat Ali Shah is a very good book for Preci & Composition,,
[B]"High School English Grammar & Composition" [/B] by Wren & Martin is also helpful.

best luck,

HI :)

Some other good books for english are:

1. Improve Your English by J.S.Bright and B.R.Mullick
2. English Grammar by Martinet.

The second book is prescribed in the CSS syllabus too and it's a superb book, rather the most comprehensive book about English Grammar. It comes with 2 exercise books too.

thanx everyone.
please guide me how to hold a passage together.Help me,specially Yahya lala.

If u are aking about holding passages appropriately in essays thn it is not a big deal. u just need to think before u start the passage. Always keep in mind theb asic idea and go with it by and by. Wind it up in th ned with proper words.

If u are asking for passage holding in qureries then it is also easy and u need to follow the same rule of thumb as i havem mentioned earlier.

Passage holding is an art and u can play ur pranks in this section if u have a smart mind to hold things together in a flow.

Salam.

well we have not to get Phd degree in english so that we should study all about english ........... only we have to pass the exam........ as i went through 5 hundred mark sheets and i saw that no one has got more than 60 percentage in this subject so it means that this is not scoring one so read only
exploring the world of english by sadat ALI shah and it is enough to take 60%

regards

the best book
 

@mariam
dear the best book i found from among the recommeded ones is

[B]A UNIVERSITY GRAMMAR OF ENGLISH by RANDOLPH QUIRK AND SIDNEY GREENBAUM.[/B]

this book is actually the shorter version of A GRAMMAR OF CONTEMPORARY ENGLISH by the same authors...but this one is not easily available, if u find it somewhere (in PAKISTAN :) ) do let me know so that i can buy one for myslf.

the former is actually a grammar book which if u go through thoroughly will surely help you in your composition plus comprehension....

BEST OF LUCK:)
