Envy is the worst passion of all. An envious person cannot see other’s happiness, in this way he not only destroys his own joys but also add pain in others' lives. An easy solution for this is to praise others, but an envoy man cannot do so. He will find mundane answers when he will be told about it.

Title: Envy; a curable passion

Envy is the most deplorable of all the emotions of humans, where an envious person not only hurts himself by sustaining a state of discontent but may also hurt those (if he can), who are a source of envy to him.The emotion of envy takes away the sense of rationality from a person and ultimately without analyzing the reasons of the happening of a particular phenomenon, he becomes envious and unhappy.However, Admiration can oust the feelings of envy. The cure of envy is happiness, and happiness can come from admiring others, though it may seem impossible to an envious person. But realizing the reasons for his envious feelings is the first step in diminishing them.

Why nobody used Jealousy? Instead of Envy?

what i have been told is that we should not change/enhance the main idea of the passage, hence, replacing jealousy with envy here is like giving a new dimension to the topic (as u r not given the opportunity to explain jealousy and envy as same phenomena). so, there is no point in using jealousy here.

Title
The Cause and Cure of Feeling Envy


Envy is an unfortunate trait that incurs ill-fortune in people's lives. An envious sou is often unhappy with his belongings and attempts steal advantages enjoyed by others. The feeling of envy saps away acumen from apt people. The remedy of envy is admiration as it fetches happiness. Happiness, in fact, is antithesis to envy. It can be attained when one understands the cause of feeling envious.

[66 Words]

Do comment over it.

Express yourself in simple words in the precis paper and inshallah u will rock in the exam. Also, avoid stuff that is not suggested by the author in passage summarization(precis).

'u have 56 marks' is a very subjective term. it does not define which question gave u how many marks! maybe examiner was very lenient with u, (2010 english precis and composition has escaped the "ragra-fying", but next time this may be the victim. u never know!).
I would still state that replacing the "Core word" of precis with its synonym is fatal!
