Good reading aids in good writing. Classical English novels definitely help in developing good writing skills. Pick any good classical English novel of a famous writer and try to emulate its style or develop your own. Choice of a novel or book depends on personal interest. However, I would recommend you to read following novels in your spare time:

1.Pursuit of Happiness

2. A Tale of Two Cities

3. Animal Farm

4. Any good book of Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde

First, improve your English Grammar by consulting any good English grammar book. If you are able to write with zero grammatical mistakes, I am sure you will pass both English papers. Correct grammar is very important, it can't be emphasised more.

For literary style, read good English books, write, check mistakes and repeat. It is s time taking excercise. However, it will definitely help you. There is no short cut for improving English writing skills.

Default Please evaluate this precis.

One great defect of our civilization is that it does not know what to do with its knowledge. Science, as we have seen, has given us powers fit for the gods, yet we use them like small children.
For example, we do not know how to manage our machines. Machines were made to be man's servants; yet he has grown so dependent on them that they are in a fair way to become his masters. Already most men spend most of their lives looking after and waiting upon machines. And the machines are very stern masters. They must be fed with coal, and given petrol to drink, and oil to wash with, and must be kept at the right temperature. And if they do not get their meals when they expect them, they grow sulky and refuse to work, or burst with rage, and blow up, and spread ruin and destruction all round them. So we have to wait upon them very attentively and do all that we can to keep them in a good temper. Already we find it difficult either to work or play without the machines, and a time may come when they rule us altogether, just as we rule the animals.

Precis:
Title: "Dependency on Machines"

We don’t know what to do with knowledge. Science has given us powers, yet we don’t know how to use them. Machines require proper management or maintenance and to get fed up. If we don’t do they refuse to work and cause destruction. We became so dependent on machine that we don’t feel comfortable to do anything without them. In the course of time they may become our master and rule us.

While I do not claim to be an authority on the subject still I would like to opine on it because of the incessant mistakes that I found it to be littered with. First off, you shall never use contractions such as "don't" in formal writing. Always use the full form such as "do not". Another horrendous mistake is in the sentence "machines require proper management or maintenance and to get fed up." Rephrase it as "machines require proper management and maintenance". To get fed up would mean to lose interest in something which is an extreme blunder of syntax.
There are other mistakes too. While you have captured the essence of the precis, the problem remains with your style of writing. Hope this helps.

EXAMINATION- 2002
'The official name of our species is homo sapiens; but there are many anthropologists who prefer to think of man as homo Fabcr-thc smith, the maker of tools It would be possible. I think, to reconcile these two definitions in a third. If man is a knower and an efficient doer, it is only because he is also a talker In order to be Faber and Sapiens, Homo must first be loquax, the loquacious one. Without language we should merely be hairless chimpanzees. Indeed which should be some thing much worse. Possessed of a high IQ but no language, we should be like the Yahoos of Gulliver's Travels- Creatures too clever to be guided by instinct, too Self-centered to live in a state of animal grace, and therefore condemned forever, frustrated and malignant, between contented apehood and aspiring'humanity. It was language that made possible the accumulation of knowledge and the broadcasting of information. It was language that permitted the expression of religious insight, the formulation of ethical ideals, the codification to laws, It was language, in a word, that turned us into human beings and gave birth to civilization.


Title: language and evolution of human civilization
It does not create any difference that man is known as homo sapien or homo faber, because it is the language which plays a pivotal role to distinguish human from other creatures by rendering him prudent and intellectual. Language is central to the evolution of civilization, as it enables man to communicate and learn human values along with religion, ethics, and law.

EXAMINATION- 1999
To have faith in the dignity and worth of the individual man as an end in himself, to believe that it is better to be governed by persuasion than by coercion, to believe that fraternal goodwill is more worthy than a selfish and contentions spirit, to believe that in the long run all values are inseparable from the love of truth and the disinterested search for it, to believe that knowledge and the power it confers should be used to promote the welfare and happiness of all men, rather than to serve the interests of those individual and classes whom fortune and intelligence endow with temporary advantage – these are the values which are affirmed by the traditional democratic ideology. The case of democracy is that it accepts the rational and humane values as ends and proposes as the means of realizing them the minimum of coercion and the maximum of voluntary assent. We may well abandon the cosmological temple in which the democratic ideology originally enshrined these values, without renouncing the faith it was designed to celebrate. The essence of that faith is belief in the capacity of man, as a rational and humane creature to achieve the good life by rational and humane means. The Chief virtue of democracy and the sole reason for cherishing it is that with all its faults it still provides the most favourable conditions for achieving that end by those means.

Title: spirit of democracy
Traditional democracy is intrinsically linked with goodwill and human values. It is deemed that people should be ruled by harmonious way instead of tyranny, and power ought to serve common people rather than a privileged elite. Despite there is a change in practice of democracy, but its spirit-promotes and fosters and wellbeing remains some. Although democracy has same shortcomings, yet it seems the only way to achieve the very goal of human welfare.
