Question Precis Writing for CSS 2010

Hi....here we will practice the precis of the shared passages and its mistakes, comments, improvements along with certain suggestions by experienced guys to groom aspirants of 2010 02 11....

here we go. Make a precis of following

ALL is not well with the delivery of social services in Pakistan. There have been reports of poor performance, corruption and inefficiency in the education, health, housing and population sectors. Red tape is said to be a factor in the failure of government schools to utilise funds allocated to them. Recently, an MNA died in a government hospital in Islamabad and an independent inquiry attributed his death to medical negligence. Two allied departments of the housing ministry that is supposedly working to provide low-cost shelter to the poor have been rated among the ten most corrupt organisations in Pakistan by Transparency International. One could go on. The poor state of sanitation and water supply and the weak social safety net testify to the state’s inability to provide people basic facilities and services. Unfortunately, over the years people have increasingly been left to fend for themselves to meet their needs for education, healthcare and so on.

We are sympathetic to the constraints of the state: it does not have adequate resources, it does not have the most qualified manpower, political instability is a constant factor that makes long-term policy-making and implementation problematic. But the very point of a government is to try and improve things. Presently, the government has achieved some success on stabilising the finances of the state, but the policy side elsewhere looks very weak. The problems associated with delivering basic services to the people are not all about a lack of financial resources. For years, bottlenecks at the institutional level have meant that PSDP funds have not been utilised even where made available. Pouring more funds into a broken system with little direction and sense of purpose means that as nation we will continue to stumble along indefinitely unless our elected officials show some resolve outside isolated pockets.

Precis
It is a dilemma that appraisal of underprivileged performance, corruption with inadequate education, health, shelter and population sector is a miserable demonstration. The inefficacy and loathsome characteristics of doctors are worsening their profession by not only resulting a bad dream for poor masses but ministers as well. Global reports are widening the gulf between social beauty of honesty and institutions which are ensuing the formation of corrupt society and ultimately overwhelming the whole country. The awkward water supply and sanitation facilities, inappropriate resources in qualified manpower and political haphazardness are the ingredients to make long term plans and their implications, an evident failure. It is not only the ‘financial sources’ a factor to be basic service of public on the whole. The Government’s initiative to ameliorate the deficits of primary facilities can only bring change in traditionally isolated system. A system where the leaders are defiant to put it gainfully.

DEMOCRACY is the best form of government while the local district government is the best form of local self-government.This is because the principle of transfer of power to the grassroots level cannot be better protected in any other system. I would like to ask the advocates of the old commissioner system as to how they would lay the foundation of true democracy in a society which does not accept people’s right of choosing the best way of running their lo cal councils. The argument often put against the concept of the local district government is that it will serve as a tool against political parties and strengthen the hands of military dictators, thus leading to the weakening of democracy.
The fact is that democracy is strengthened by the establishment of a local government. That is why all mature, as well as progressive, democracies have local government bodies that serve their citizens.





summary of the above paragraph....is it rightly pointed out
The writer is elucidating the implication of the local government system. The commissioners can not convince the consent of the common people by overlapping their elected representative councils. Its is an antiquated theory that local government system is the tool of dictators endangering democratic setup. But the apposite fact is that system appropriates the established and upright democracies by grass root representation.

summary of the above paragraph....is it rightly pointed out

But the apposite fact is that system appropriates the established and upright democracies by grass root representation.
Some tips:

The writer is elucidating the implication of the local government system.

The writer elucidated the efficacy of devolution of powers.

(You can save two words, you can adopt suggested grammar requirement and you can apply the rule of using your own words (not copying the same words from the original passage)).


The commissioners can not convince the consent of the common people by overlapping their elected representative councils.

"Consent" is never convinced. Consent is "obtained".

The commissioners can't convince masses............................


But the apposite fact is that = Contrary to this....................

These are few samples for you. You have still room for improvement.

FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION FOR RECRUITMENT TO POSTS
IN BPS – 17 UNDER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, 1995.

ENGLISH (Précis and Composition)



When you see a cockroach or a bed-hug your first reaction is one of disgust and that is immediately, followed by a desire to exterminate the offensive creature. Later, in the garden, you see a butterfly or a dragonfly, and you are filled with admiration at its beauty and grace. Man’s feelings towards insects are ambivalent. He realizes that some of them for example, - flies and cockroaches arc threats to health. Mosquitoes and tsetse flies have in the past sapped the vitality of entire tribes or nations. Other insects are destructive and cause enormous losses. Such arc locusts, which can wipe out whole areas of crops in minutes; and termites, whose often insidious ravages, unless checked at an early stage, can end in the destructing of entire rows –of houses. Yet men’s ways of living may undergo radical changes if certain species of insects were to become extinct. Bees, for example, pollinate the flowers of many plants which are food sources. In the past, honey was the only sweetening agent known to man in some remote parts of the world. Ants, although they bite and contaminate man’s food are useful scavengers which consume waste material that would otherwise pollute the environment. Entomologists who have studied insect fossils believe them to have inhabited the earth for nearly 400 million years. Insects live in large numbers almost everywhere in the world, from the hottest deserts and the deepest caves to the peaks of-high mountains and even the snows of the polar caps. Some insect communities are complex in organizations, prompting men to believe that they possess an ordered intelligence. But such organized behaviour is clearly not due to - developed brains. If we have to compare them to humans, bee and ant groups behave like extreme totalitarian societies. Each bee or ant seems to have a determined role to play instinctively and does so without deviation. The word “instinct” is often applied to insect behaviour. But some insect behaviour appears so clear that one tends to think that some sort of intelligenceis at work. For example, the worker bee, upon relating to the hive after having found a new source of nectar, communicates his discovery by a kind of dance which tells other bees the direction and distance away of the nectar.


Precis


Some insects are liked while others are not, a mixed attitude found in men. These insects have shown dangers to human life in the form of diseases to health, losses to crops and destruction to buildings as well. 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.

Insect behavior

insect community and human life
