Please Read Thoroughly

I am happy that i have got a good response from the members.

But there are some things that i think are necessary to point out for the benefit of all of us

1. I have seen that a kind of normal discussion language is being used under this thread e.g. using dots(..............) between sentences, using incorrect (although deliberately) spellings and short forms of words. The purpose of starting this thread is to use correct English including grammer, spellings, voice (Active/passive) and Narration (Direct/Indirect) etc. It usually happens that we dont care about these small things and then easily get used to writing wrong English or, at least, could not improve it. Actually texting and email type language is destroying our English and let me tell you guys that it is the main concern here in the UK. This is also a fact people that sometimes we use deliberately such text messaging type language because of the fear that we will not be able to write English properly (i think you will agree!!).

So we need to be careful otherwise the purpose and efforts would be fruitless. Try to use English as you are in the CSS Exams.

2. The other thing that i am concerned about is that of space for all this work. I have started a separate thread under English(Precis & composition). I am saying this in response to the suggestions raised by Qurratulain and Sureshlasi. (Remember we are writing all this in a proper way and we are taking note of the language used by other fellows along with all these discussions.)

3. Very Important Thing Dear Colleagues

As all of you know that on this forum we are not talking face to face so we are unable to see eachother's expression. So please do not get offended when you dont like some remark or comment. It might be that somebody says something in joke or just for the sake of criticism and we think he or she actually mean it. On such kind of forums it is mainly upon the readers how they understand words and sentences so be careful.

4. Finally guys as I have started this thread so as, say, an administrator i check it everyday and i will try to give suggestions as we will move forward.
Actually i am working full time in April and May and have not got much time for CSS preparation. So please carry on; i am with you.

5. And another thing; I have opted for Islamic History & Culture, Mercantile Law, Muslim Law and Jurisprudence, Sociology and Public Administration. I am also planning to start some threads under these subjects as well. But i want to come up with something useful and i am currently working on those activities. Suggestions are welcome from all of you.


And remember, these paras are also under English Correction Rules of the forum.

Allocate some specific time for this activity as i realised that it is very easy to get used to writing and posting things on the forum as it is very addictive like online chat. So be careful and do not waste your time just by being online and then thinking you are doing something useful. In fact the case is different and might result in something at the expense of your studies.

Now come to the activity, somebody has pointed my mistake out that i have used "that is what we are here for". Well done

The sentecnce could be read in two ways
First as was suugested i.e. "that is what we are here for"
The other way is "that is why we are here" (without using for after HERE if we use WHY)

Some body has also used E in a lower case before the word ENGLISH.
Some other colleague used text type English with dots and short forms of words etc so please avoid that next time.

Thank you for such good suggestions, I think everyone would take care of that.

aoa. no doubt uhve given a v gud idea. i appreciate. it wud help us alot!

ur suggestions are very good and highly appreciated . I also try my best to follow gramatic rules of English Language under ur suggestions.
Thnaks 4 ur motivation.

would somebody write something to present before forum?

@ CSSR

Please add some good sense to your sentence.
"Suggestions are welcome from all of you".
It may be in this form.
"Suggestions will be welcomed from all".
or
"Your suggestions will be welcomed".

I am posting an application which i wrote to the High Commission of the Republic OF_____________. I am not going to mention the name of that High Commission.However i will feel very proud if my loving fellow members will go through my piece of writing and will inform me about the mistake if there is any.I have changed the name and passport number for security purpose.Thanks.

SUBJECT: COMPLAINT AGAINST THE VISA APPLICANT HAVING PASSPORT NO.Kk456592.
Dear Sir,

NAME: Mr.ABC.
FATHER’S NAME: MR.XYZ.
DATE OF BIRTH: 22-01-1985.
PASSPORT NO: Kk456592.
NATIONAL ID CARD NO: 34101-_________-1.


• The applicant had married in the Republic of South Africa in order to obtain identity from the “Ministry of Home Affairs Republic Of South Africa” and he succeeded to do so. But one thing should not be forgotten that the Applicant had been paying the lady so called “wife” of the Applicant for that “Virtual Paper Marriage” in order to prolong his stay there in South Africa.

• The applicant left South Africa and returned to Pakistan because there he had been involved in gambling and lost a handsome amount of money which he earned in Republic of South Africa by unfair means with the help of black Guys. This fact indicates that the applicant is not able to leave his wicked habit of gambling and now when he is here in Pakistan he has not enough resources. He has decided once again to move towards South Africa to make fortune there and no doubt it would be again through unfair means.

• The applicant was involved in nefarious activities that can surely be called extremist activities. He had remained an active member of an Organization which is in favor of religious extremism that is strongly being condemned all over the world. Although he had left that organization but possibility of any connection cannot be ruled out in future.

• The applicant is trying to get the new passport for his entrance to The Republic Of South Africa. He has made a good lame excuse about his passport that he has lost it and this act of the applicant is nothing but a betrayal. Due to some fraudulent activities it is difficult for him to wander freely in Pakistan. Now he is trying to escape from Pakistan and has chosen The Republic of South Africa as his only safe house.

I would therefore request the South African High Commission that the above mentioned facts should be properly enquired, investigated and taken into account before awarding the Visa to the Applicant.

Yours Faithfully.

COMPLAINANT.

A very colourful application I must say! One does not come across such letters everyday! Intresting job you've got there! I stumbled upon one term which i do not think is appropriate for such a formal letter: I dont think you should use the term black guys. "guys" should not be used in formal letters plus referring to the fact that those men were black as not all south africans involved in gambling are neccessarily black.
Apart from this you used the term "good lame excuse".An excuse can be good, or lame. Cant be both.

That really a good idea. But I think considering one CSS paper like English precis and composition here will be great.
We will be solving the paper in the mean time getting feed back from senior members

The exploration of the Arctic circle should not be taken lightly as the region is remote and difficulties are there.
Arctic zone, however, is rich in minerals and weather is made there. The agriculture of the globe depends upon the report from this zone. Apart from other things of importance, the polar regions have no alternate in beuty and charm.
