1. Write a Précis of the following passage and suggest a suitable title: 25

Exploration in the Arctic Circle still offers countless opportunities for fresh discoveries, but it is an adventure which is not to be undertaken lightly. As an occupation it is more lonely and remote than anything else in the world and at any moment the traveller must be prepared to encounter hazard and difficulty which call for all his skill and enterprise. Nevertheless such exploration will be carried as long as there are investigated areas to attract the daring and as long as the quest for knowledge inspires mankind.

Investigations have shown that the Arctic zone is rich in mineral deposits, but even if these deposits were themselves of little value, the economic importance of the Arctic would not be appreciably lessened. For it is generally agreed that «weather is made in the North», and as the success or failure of the harvests all over the world is largely determined by the weather, it follows that agriculture and all those industrial and commercial activities dependent upon it must be considerably affected by the accuracy of the daily weather reports. Modern meteorologists regard the conditions prevailing in the Arctic as of first-rate importance in helping them to arrive at accurate results in their forecasts.

Yet quite apart from any economic or other practical considerations, there is a strange fascination about this vast unconquered region of stern northern beauty. Those who have once entered the vast polar regions like to speak of their inexpressible beauty, the charm of the yellow sun and dazzling ice packs, the everlasting snows and unmapped land where one never knows what lies ahead; it may be a gigantic glacier, which reflects a beam of sunlight over its frozen expanse or some wonderful fantastically shaped cliff which makes an unfading impression on the memory. It may even be an iceberg stately and terrifying, moving on its relentless way, for the Arctic; is the birthplace of the great icebergs which threaten navigation.

The Exploration of Arctic Circle

Unexplored Arctic Circle is an area ripe for explorers. But due to extreme weather conditions and remoteness of the area, it is difficult to explore the region. Researchers have revealed that the area has enormous amount of minerals but the importance of the region is more because of weather formation for the world here. Weather in arctic helps in making weather forecasts which is helpful for agriculture and related industries. Regardless of any materialistic benefit, the scenic beauty of Arctic makes it an interesting site for explorers. Shining sun, un-ending thick snow, glaciers and ice-caps are enchantingly beautiful. These ice caps however can also impede in the way of new explorations

I will InshAllah.. and somewhere in the forum I read ure query about expansion.. Dear.. there is a book 'Sundry reflection' by Manzoor Mirza, it's available in the market. Get it and read few expansions.. you will get the idea about it. It is a very helpful book.

Nops i have got few other buks, now im finding some way to practice those
Imtiaz Shahid's grammer and composition for Css(Contains most important synonyms,precis,expansions, comprehensions that appeared in CSS papers)
Sadat Exploring english (Although didnt find it really helpful)
Precis writing by DHILLON (A superb book for precis writing)

And my experience about Indian writers, for Competitive exams, so far has been gloroius. Sudha publishers, are usually mentioned at the very title page of the tiny sized book
