English (precis & Composition)

TIME ALLOWED: 3 HOURS MAXIMUM MARKS: 100
1. MAKE A PRÉCIS OF THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE IN ABOUT ONE THIRD OF ITS LENGTH. Suggest a suitable title also. (20)


Besant describing the middle class of the 9th century wrote " In the first place it was for more a class apart. "In no sense did it belong to society. Men in professions of any kind (except in the Army and Navy) could only belong to society by right of birth and family connections; men in trade—bankers were still accounted tradesmen—could not possibly belong to society. That is to say, if they went to live in the country they were not called upon by the county families and in the town they were not admitted by the men into their clubs, or by ladies into their houses… The middle class knew its own place, respected itself, made its own society for itself, and cheerfully accorded to rank the deference due."

Since then, however, the life of the middle classes had undergone great changes as their numbers had swelled and their influence had increased.

Their already well –developed consciousness of their own importance had deepened. More critical than they had been in the past of certain aspects of aristocratic life, they wee also more concerned with the plight of the poor and the importance of their own values of society, thrift, hand work, piety and respectability thrift, hand work, piety and respectability as examples of ideal behavior for the guidance of the lower orders. Above all they were respectable. There were divergences of opinion as to what exactly was respectable and what was not. There were, nevertheless, certain conventions, which were universally recognized: wild and drunker behaviors were certainly not respectable, nor were godlessness or avert promiscuity, not an ill-ordered home life, unconventional manners, self-indulgence or flamboyant clothes and personal adornments.



Question1: Precis

Title: Bourgeois of 9th century

Explaining the bourgeois of 9th century, Besant writes that this class had its own values which were not dictated by society. They did not welcome people belonging to upper class into their domain. Middle class had a sense of individuality and respect for itself. In later ages, when they increased in number, they became more aware of their importance and respectable position in society. They criticized lavishness of upper class and acted as role models for lower class. They had their own criterion of respect. Bad behaviour, prodigy and haughtiness were not considered respectable.

Man's life would definitely feel changes if some of insect species are found extinct because of the role these play in the environment. Historically, insects are very old and found in almost every distinct part of the World. These form communities which are incomprehensible somrtimes due to their strcuture. The behavior in unified units without any disarrangement, indicates a different role which every insect is playing. The norms and cutoms practiced, are the semblance of their intelligence and professionalism. 'A woker bee dancing to show her pleasure after she found another source of food', is an example of it.

Topics

Insect behavior
or
insect community and human life
Nice attempt, just a reflection, is it important to incorporate the examples in precis. I think we may exclude them.

here is my precise please comment.

Men have mixed feelings towards insects. Men's appathy for them is due to their fatal nature for human society. Yet there are some benificial insects too. Many insects are in danger of extinction due to changing habitation of men. According to Entomologists, insects lived since 400millions years, both in extreme hot and cold habitates. some insects live in groupings and behave like human, which is due to their instinct to behave in like manner and not because of their developed brain.

the relation of insects and human.

you've got good grammer, style is impressive but aviod redundancy.
Precis was a compact one but it is shorter than requirement, count the lines of paragraph....

well, I had attempted it in less than 20min so there are possibilities of errors and ommisions of many relevant ideas. I asked it from you, whether we have to put examples or not. because some times examples are becoming more important.

yes, you are right, my precis is shorter than the required one.
it was my second attempt, i have to work on it. thanks for identifying my redudancy in expression.

Atleast 35 minutes for precis and maximum 45 minutes
Cz taking only 20 minutes will not give you 2,3 rough drafts to make a comprehensive one

Question1: Precis

Title: Bourgeois of 9th century

Explaining the bourgeois of 9th century, Besant writes (how basant writes, you tried to copy the original expression but it actually changed the meaning)that this class had its own values which were not dictated by society. They(who) did not welcome people belonging to upper class intowrong usage their domain. Middle class had a sense of individuality and respect for itself. In later ages, when they increased in number, they became more aware of their importance and respectable position in society. They criticized lavishness of upper class and acted as role models for lower class. They had their own criterion of respect. Bad behaviour, prodigy and haughtiness were not considered respectable(Excellent sentence).

Good and decent attempts..... n dont make everything understood, few things need elaboration....Your coherence and order was good only you missed few points from main para to make the countable precis......But overall i ll appreciate
