Is my title correct?

Senior please comment.....[/QUOTE]
GOOd!! :)

My title was:

The Plethora of Unhappiness in Modern World

Title should be bRief concise simple and broad

Wut about this?
 

Title given was
[b][color="Maroon"]
"understanding the psychology of unhappiness"[/color][/b]

comment on it plz...

mine was

Happiness in unhappiness : a psychological disorder

U mean....
 

Nice title...

Best of luck

My title for the Precis ....

"Psyche of the Unhappy"

-

Mine was Pleasures of unhappiness; bcs cocept of self imposed unhapiness was stressed and some enjoyed it

mine was : inside the world of an unhappy man...

i thought of a few more...but actually they were discussing how the man thinks and blah blah....

the short essay i attempted was violence of war can be diluted with love

i wrote about swami asimanand...who was a hindu bigot and got impressed by his muslim jail partner...he said the power of love between two people is greater than the power of animosity between two communities...

B.Russel:) Thanks dude
 

I gave the title
"Conquest of Happiness"

Precis was easier but comprehension passage realy spun my mind overall mine paper was just good. Mine heading was philosphy of unhappiness.

Regards,

[B][COLOR="Blue"][SIZE="4"]Mine was “Happiness lead life”[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]

In short essays I attempted Child is a father of man and it went fantastic along with the change of narration and correction of sentences. Idioms, pair of words and mcqs were not very good and as I do not compare my answers after attempting the paper(because it justs disturb me) so I cannot figure out what was the percentage of true and false out of them:pp.

Regards,

Precis title
 

My title precis title was [COLOR="Magenta"]The Psychological causes of unhappiness.[[/COLOR]SIZE="4"][COLOR="Magenta"]:roll:roll:roll:roll:roll[/COLOR][/SIZE]

mine essay title was :[U][B]seeking happiness through pleasure"[/B][/U]

My heading of precis was;

[B]Melancholy;its forms,causes and remedies[/B]

Grrrrr the comprehension got on my nerves so bad i actually answered the last question asking my opinion in a twisted manner...something that wud force the examiner to think from multiple angles. I just hope he doesnt get pissed off :P

I gave the title [B]" Bearing and Rationalising Unhappiness"[/B]
Hope its okay :con

In this sentence there is syntax error if I am correct. Otherwise the sentence structure is in accordance with the rules, again correct me if i am wrong

[B]They made the driver to stop.[/B]

[QUOTE=Farrah Zafar;272406][B]They made the driver to stop.[/B][/QUOTE]

The best would be: They asked the driver to stop.

It was quite an easy paper. I was astonished at the hype created by some previous CSS candidates that this paper is tough. As a matter of fact, i knew all of the MCQs and got all 10 correct. If only they allowed and took into consideration a candidate's extra attempt of MCQs *sigh*

[QUOTE=Farrah Zafar;272406][B]They made the driver to stop.[/B][/QUOTE]

as far as my knowledge is concerned i believe made k baad "to" nahi lagta...
we normally say we made him do that, i made her go to school etc...so technically it isn't right.
They asked the driver to stop or they ordered the driver to stop is the right format

[SIZE="4"][B]The precis passage is taken form the book Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russel, last line of page 24 to 26[/B][/SIZE]
