The house of common is the place where any kind of arrogance and discussion are being made but unacknowledged. your opinion can not be accepted as you thought . it is not assured that what ever, your idea or theme, could be applauded. so it might be possible that the most close friend would not agree upon your resolutions. i observe that there is a person who is keenly listening to my views but as a matter of fact he is waiting for his turn to follow my passion not my views. we are much selfish to be known as pioneer instead of followers.

Arrogance of commoners.

Your contribution on the forum is laudable especially this précis thread remained very beneficial for the members. I hereby request you to spare few moments from your time, if you can, and continue your guidance again. I hope you will consider my request?

i am very jnr member, i joined this forum aug 2009.
and will soon post the reply
thanks
for such good heart effort.

i want to ask u that weather there can b more than one title for paragraph?

This is my first attempt on this forum. As far as choosing of more than one topics is concerned, i think every paragraph given in the paper has a single main idea which some times looks diverged in various directions but a candidate is supposed to extract that main idea. Identifying the Topic of a paragraph has 5 marks in this question.To dig out the topic it is suggested to use a green highlighter/marker/pen etc to underline or highlight main ideas so as to know what the single idea concealed in is. Reviewing the paragraph for at least two times make us able to conclude the topic word or sentence.

Thanks.

In House of Commons, pride of politicians is evident both explicitly and implicitly. It is a place where human feelings are not regarded. Reputation of members is given no importance and speaker calls everyone by name. Even your best friend may explicitly leave you when there is a clash of interests. If someone pays close attention, he implicitly turns out to be a critic. Lord Melbourne confirms the pointless pride of the members of House of Commons. Politicians show unnecessary pride though preceding of the House do not approve of that. No man is important in House of Commons.

Cricket: A business or an adventure?

Jam Sahib, King of a little Indian town Nawanagar was a cricketer of high caliber. On his retirement, he left behind happy memories of his glorious game. He was a record-setter and no one has so far equaled his record of 3000 runs in a season. He made two double centuries in a single match against Yorkshire, a team par excellence. But cricket is more of an adventurous game then mechanic scoring of runs. Of late cricket has lost its charm because it is too much mechanized now. It has lost its antagonistic zeal. Players play for money so the tint of adventure in their game is missing. Shrewbary was a great player and a high scorer but he lacked enthusiasm. Jam Sahib, on the other hand was a charismatic player. He made the game even more interesting with his joyous style.

@Sehar Sheikh

Wouldn't it be better if you include original passage along with your precis. It would be much helpful.

Regards

Make a precise of the following passage

I know no place where the great truth that no man is necessary is brought home to the mind so remorselessly, and yet so refreshingly, as the house of commons. Over even the greatest reputations it closes with barely a bubble. And yet the vanity of politicians is enormous. Lord Melbourne, when asked his opinion of men, replied, 'Good fellows, but vain very vain'.

There is a great deal of vanity, both expressed and concealed, in the house of commons. I often wonder why, for I cannot imagine a place where men so habitually disregard eache other's feelings, so openly trample on each other's egotisms. You rise to address the Hourse. The speaker calls on you by name. Hardly are you through the first sentence when your oldest friend, your college chum the man you have appointed guardian of your infant children, rises in his place, gives you a stony stare and seizing his hat in his hand, ostentatiously walks out of the House, as much as to say. 'I can stand many things, but not this'. Whilst speaking of the House I have never failed to notice one man, at all events, who was paying me the compliment of the closest attention, who never took his eyes off me, who hung upon my words, on whom everything I was saying seemed to be making the greatest impression. But this solitary auditor is not in the least interested either in me or in my speech, and the only reason why he listens so intently and eyes me so closely is that he has made up his mind to follow me, and is eager to leap to his feet, in the hope of cathcing the speaker's eye the very moment I sit down. Yet for all this vanity thrives in the House - though what it feeds on I cannot say. We are all anxious to exaggerate our own importance, and desperately anxious to make reputations for ourselves and to have our names associated with some subject - to pose as its patron and friend.

Make a précis of the following passage and suggest a suitable title.

The last ball has been bowled, the bats have been oiled and put away, and around Lord’s the grand-stands are deserted and forlorn. We have said farewell to cricket. We have said farewell, too, to cricket’s king. The well graced actor leaves the stage and becomes only a memory in a world of happy memories. And so ‘hats off’ to the Jam Sahib – the prince of a little state, but the king of a great game….

I think it is undeniable that as a batsman the Indian will live as the supreme exponent of the Englishman’s game. The claim does not rest simply on his achievements, although, judged by them, the claim could be sustained. His season’s average of 87 with a total of over 3,000 runs, and no one else has equaled that record. And is not his astonishing achievement of scoring two double centuries in a single match on a single day – not against a feeble attack, but against Yorkshire, always the most resolute and resourceful of bowling teams.

But we don not judge a cricketer so much by the runs he gets as by the way he gets them, ‘In literature or as in finance, says Washington Irving, much paper and much poverty may coexist. And in cricket, too, many runs and much dullness may be associated. If cricket is menaced with creeping paralysis, it is because it is losing the spirit of joyous adventure and becoming a dull instrument for compiling table of averages. There are dull mechanic fellows who turn out runs with as little emotion as machine turns out pins. There is no colour, no enthusiasm, no character in their play, Cricket is not an adventure to them; it is a business. It was so with Shrewsbury. His technical perfection was astonishing; but the soul of the game was wanting in him. There was no sunshine in his play, or swift surprise or splendid unselfishness. And without these things, without gaiety, daring and the spirit of sacrifice cricket is a dead thing. Now the Jam Sahib has the root of the matter in him. His play is as sunny as his face. He is not a miser hoarding up runs, but a millionaire spending them, with a splendid yet judicious prodigality. It is as though his pockets are bursting with runs that he wants to shower with his blessings upon the expectant multitude. It is not difficult to believe that in his little kingdom of Nawanagar, where he has the power of life and death in his hands, he is extremely popular, for it is obvious that his pleasure is in giving pleasure.
