How can you improve your spoken English ?
A lot of my students ask me what is it that they should do to
improve their Spoken English. So here is a post to tell them what I feel
can improve their English skills.
ARE YOU AFRAID OF EXAMS ? by Jisha K.
HOW TO DOUSE THE EXAM FEVER
PREPARATION
Preparing well in advance is what you are expected to do. Keep aside a considerable amount of time for your studies, say 8 hours a day giving equal
weightage to all the subjects. Keep in mind that you should put aside a little
extra time to the subjects you feel you are not comfortable with. It is advisable
to have a clear idea about each of your lessons.Avoid new methods at the last
moment.Instead practice the previous question papers. In case you feel some
formulae or equation a hard nut to crack,write it on a piece of chart and paste
and stick to it. No one expect you to cram for exams right from the early
morning till late night. Take breaks to refresh. If continuous reading makes you
sick or bored,shift your attention, listen to your favourite song, or go for a stroll
, otherwise have a chat with your siblings or friends or munch some snacks.
DEALING WITH TEMPTATIONS
HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH
Exam times are usually hectic because you overwork. Hence you need a lot of
hydrate foods like bread and pasta which release energy and blood sugar too
not shift to sudden changes in sleep which can cause sleep disorders and can
wreck havoc at your performances. You may fail to recollect or feel sleepy. If
in your daily intake. Avoid oily and spicy food which may make you lethargic
and cause you stomach disorders. Drink a lot of water to prevent dehydration. Most of you have the tendency to skip morning food. Breakfast is the brain food. It is a must for the brain to shoulder the tasks you assign to
it. After the exam don’t rush to junk food or short eats instead prefer food that
is prepared at your home. This is no time for experimenting.
BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE
Once you have completed your preparation,you might feel enriched that might
INTELLIGENT ANSWERING
You are going to be evaluated at the way you present your answers.No matter
how intelligent or studious you are,you are gauged only by the answer sheet
that you craft.So you have to be extra careful while writing your answers.The
examiner has no personal grudge or favour.He would never know that you are
an outstanding performer or an extremely talented and gifted person.Likewise
,he would equally be unaware of your negatives and pitfalls .So one could
never expect a lenience.But at the same time,you can forge your own
future.You are at a liberty to create a lasting impression on the examiner if you
care to adopt a handful of techniques.Present your answers in such a manner
that the ordinary may look extra ordinary.Leave nothing to chance.Pour out all
your efforts to make it impressive. You have to present your ideas as if the
examiner knows nothing about it.Supply all the details and at times give some
extra if the question demands it.Never take anything for granted.Write your
answers in the most beautiful and legible manner.Make your answer sheet
clean, clear and clutter free.Stick to 16 to 18 lines a page.Draw a line to
separate your answers after each sections.Select your pen prior to the
exam.Never try a new pen in the exam hall.They turn deceptive sometimes.
Look carefully the question numbers and write them down.Over excitement at
an expected question may turn things upside down.You may end up writing
the wrong answer if you do not care to read it carefully.You might have heard
your teachers reassuring that if you do not know answer, move on to the
next.But I would want you to stick to the order of the numbers.While
presenting your well prepared answers could get you a positive impression,
there are chances that you may miss some questions in a hurry and even you
may misrepresent the numbers.So it would be better to leave the space with
the question number and then move on to the well prepared one.By the time
you finish an answer confidentially,you would find yourself soon recollecting
the forgotten answers.You can come back to the former page and write the
answer.Repeating answers in alternative pages is a waste of time as marks can
be awarded only once.I hope no one would venture to such a grievous fault.I
would also want you not to break the fill in the blanks series and attempt them
individually.Neither are you expected to write the complete paragraph.Proof
reading should be done after you finish answering to check if you have missed
some points or headings or even question numbers.If you feel that you have
attempted a wrong answer ,you need not criss cross it with all the ink in the
seven oceans.Just a striking would do .
DON’T CRY OVER SPILT MILK
Let me remind you not to discuss a bad paper.Be it for good or bad it is always
beneficial not to discuss it at all.You want to make sure that you have written
the right answers and if it is right you feel relieved and more confident ,which
may boost your energies. But look at the flip side.If things go wrong ,you may
feel depressed and it is going to tamper the rest of the exams .Stay positive
and believe in yourself.
PARENTS
We know we need the unconditional support from our parents to motivate
,inspire and make us stronger at the time of exams especially.So dear
parents,let your presence make them reassuring and more confident.Shower
praise on your kids even at their little efforts and achievements.Don’t blame
them and compare them.Each child is unique in his own way.Focus on his
positive and cement it.Also keep them happy.Be a shadow that would remain
always with them.Extend all your help .Make your child feel that he is the best
and the most important person in the whole world to you.Give priority to his
time,needs and of course the exam.Let us hold those fingers since they are
facing the first exam that would determine their future.
Last but not the least be disciplined and
optimistic.Approach your exam centre with a brave
heart,dressed with a radiant smile.
“If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
If you can dream and not make dreams your master,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and every thing that’s in it.
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
Mrs. Jisha K.
Dear children, we have almost reached the fag end of this academic year. The
journey we started in the month of the scanty monsoon with much apprehensions and anxieties is going to be over within a couple of weeks. It was
a year which saw your blooming smiles,your longing to get recognized, you
sweating blood, your ambitions, your creativity etc. Now we are all gripped by
the exam fever.You tend to be anxious, tensed and worried because of no
apparent reason. While a little tension proves positive, more of it would upset
you and your performance. Let me help you to ward off those unnecessary
thoughts by pointing out a few of the strategies to douse your exam burn outs.
PREPARATION
Preparing well in advance is what you are expected to do. Keep aside a considerable amount of time for your studies, say 8 hours a day giving equal
weightage to all the subjects. Keep in mind that you should put aside a little
extra time to the subjects you feel you are not comfortable with. It is advisable
to have a clear idea about each of your lessons.Avoid new methods at the last
moment.Instead practice the previous question papers. In case you feel some
formulae or equation a hard nut to crack,write it on a piece of chart and paste
it on a nearby wall where your gaze may rest. Make your own time allotments
and stick to it. No one expect you to cram for exams right from the early
morning till late night. Take breaks to refresh. If continuous reading makes you
sick or bored,shift your attention, listen to your favourite song, or go for a stroll
, otherwise have a chat with your siblings or friends or munch some snacks.
After this short break you may feel energized,you can go on with your reading or can change the subject if you want to sustain your interest in the studies. If you think too much reading makes you sleepy,record your reading in your own voice and listen to it. Always prefer morning time to learn because after a good night’s sleep, your mind is clear and clutter free with no intervening thoughts to distract you and you have less distraction from around you as well since every one is fast asleep.Your brain retains what you learn without much distraction. Essay questions are to be prepared using short notes in advance.later you could develop them into longer paragraphs.
DEALING WITH TEMPTATIONS
1. Mobile phones, friends,relatives,guests,T.v.,games,functions, and gatherings tempt one to forget one’s compelling duties.Hence make sure that you won’t sacrifice the time you alloted for studies to the above said factors. I would even go to the extreme of advising you to uninstall and disconnect those for a short while.But if you think you need net connection for a quick reference,you may keep that. Keeping away yourselves from the blaring sounds of the T.v and the radiating phones may make you healthier and provide you greater concentration.
HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH
Exam times are usually hectic because you overwork. Hence you need a lot of
protein in the right amount. But do not take too much rice. Avoid simple carbo
hydrate foods like bread and pasta which release energy and blood sugar too
fast and too instantly in your body and lead to a drastic drop in energy levels. Consume omega three fatty acids which are abound in fish and flax seeds. Vegetarians could go for walnut and almonds.Sleep eight hours a day. Do
not shift to sudden changes in sleep which can cause sleep disorders and can
wreck havoc at your performances. You may fail to recollect or feel sleepy. If
possible drink a glass of milk before bed. Include a lot of leafy vegetables ,fruits
in your daily intake. Avoid oily and spicy food which may make you lethargic
and cause you stomach disorders. Drink a lot of water to prevent dehydration. Most of you have the tendency to skip morning food. Breakfast is the brain food. It is a must for the brain to shoulder the tasks you assign to
it. After the exam don’t rush to junk food or short eats instead prefer food that
is prepared at your home. This is no time for experimenting.
BUILD SELF CONFIDENCE
Once you have completed your preparation,you might feel enriched that might
make you more confident. Then anxieties ,to a great extend can be avoided. We worry for the things that never happen.So teach your brain to feel at home. Reach in advance, say half an hour before the appointed hour. Find out your seat and settle in.All your tension may evaporate in seconds.Visualize yourself as n A plus winner.Keep reminding yourself that you can make it.

Get - Set - Go ---------->> SSLC 2019
Dear
children, parents and teachers,
Yes,
its the time for fun and frolic. Enjoy it to the brim !!!
The
Christmas season is a busy time of the year when thoughts turn to
celebrations. With exams at Christmas, students can complete the
exams and have time to enjoy a relaxing break with a fresh start to
look forward to in the new year as they eagerly wait for a public
examination that decides the future.
The
SSLC exam is just weeks away... Of course a turning point in one's
life..
A
proper guidance and advice will definitely help you to achieve the
goal.
What
are your expectations for these exams ?
When
do you plan to begin studying ?
How
will you study and how much will you study?
Does
more study mean higher grades?
Shall
we discuss ?
Studying
is only one of the parts in the preparation to get good marks in the
exam. No matter how hard you study, as a student if you don't know
how to go about preparing or taking the exam, you will not be able to
achieve as much as you want.
First
step in preparation of the exam is to know how important the
examination is to you based on the course you are going to pursue.
The
difference between students who score 100% and students who score in
a band of 90 to 100 is the silly errors committed by them in the
exam. Errors in Maths such as ‘+’ in place of ‘-‘, numbers
not written properly, end not finished properly etc.,
spelling/grammatical errors in English. In terms of intelligent level
and understanding level there may not be any difference between
students who score 100% and the students who score 80%. The real
difference between them is in their study methodology or the way they
practice studies.
The
parents play a very significant role in the student’s achievements.
Out of 10 students who score 100%, 9 have their parents behind them.
The
home ambiance is one of the most important aspects in the student’s
performance. It is absolute commitment and self belief, self
motivation and sense of responsibility, and the sense of feeling that
their life depends on education.
They naturally adapt right methodology, which includes learning the
lessons properly. She/he will not blame anyone or anything but will
keep their focus on studies, they are passionate, obsessed, they are
on a mission and not just on another assignment. Once if every
student gets that feeling, surely she/he will score 100%.
To
Parents
One of the parents should be at home when the child returns from the school, taking care of the child's needs – proper healthy food that the child likes. Encourage the child to sleep well, at least for a minimum of 6 continuous hours. Encourage them to play at least one hour in the evening, to relax for at least half an hour every two hours. Inculcate meditating practice – just half a minute before every time the child starts to study and leaves the study. Like the computer, human brain needs to be properly opened and closed for effective intake.
Discourage
TV viewing as it is a major deterrent, like virus in the computer.
TV, being a strong medium, will rust the information stored in the
brain for the purpose of exam. Parent must not also watch TV when the
child is studying in the house. During exam time do not be behind
them asking questions. More importantly you need to be available to
the child as a resource, be there to clarify their questions. Primary
responsibility of the parent is to create and make the right
resources available to the child in their pursuit of knowledge or
effective learning. In normal circumstances, encourage the child to
make the best use of the resources available in the school such as
Teachers, libraries etc. Teachers are experts, discuss with them
about your child and right study methodology for him/her.
To
students
Focus
on learning. Do not mug up or stuff.
Your
focus should be in learning and understanding the subject. List out
all your doubts in a subject – get them clarified with your school
teacher or your parents or expert in the subject. Go para by para in
your text book. There should not be anything that you are not able to
explain. Organize Cooperative learning – take classes to others in
rotation- as you explain your understanding level will go up –
Questions should be asked by others. Then practice – writing - as
many times as possible. Always understand the subject, familiarize
and understand the meaning of key words. Practice all problems,
Formulae, definitions, as many times as possible. More you practice
[writing], less errors will you commit in the exam. Basically there
should not be any problem in the book that you are not able to solve.
If you are thorough with your book, 70% is assured. In the 30 days
before the exam time, you should be obsessed with your studies,
nothing else should matter to you.
Have
a study time table convenient to you – that should include eating
time, sleeping time and play time. Be careful about what you eat. Eat
less; do not over eat. Before you start and close the studies,
meditate to get into the mood and to get out safely. Otherwise, like
you would lose files when you close the computer wrongly, part of
what you studied in the end will get erased or become hazy.
DURING
EXAM TIME
Parents:
Leave
the child alone. Be there like a caretaker; attend immediately to
their calls for water, tea or milk, food etc., never speak anything
negative.
Students:
At
least two days before the starting of the exams make a checklist of
the implements required and ensure you have them- pencils, pens in
spare.
On
the day of the exam, get up a little late than usual, be cool, check
the implements.
Go
to the exam hall just before the time – do not look into the book.
During
exam times – do not study through the night – you may get blocked
out when you sit in the exam hall. Once you get ready write answers.
Only
revise what you have studied- do not take up any new subject.
After
each exam, relax, have a nap, do not worry too much about the
mistakes you have committed in the exam and check your implements for
the next day – put them in a bag that you carry daily – so that
you will not have to waste time before going to the exam and get
tensed if something is found not alright.
In
the Exam hall
- Be cool – listen to the instructions carefully – take time to read the question paper carefully, understand the instructions and then start to write.
- Bring at least two pens/pencils with good erasers, a calculator with enough batteries and any other resources that your instructor allows you to.
- Bring a watch with you so that you can better pace yourself.
- Stay positive throughout the whole exam and try to stay relaxed. If you start to feel nervous take a few deep breaths to relax.
- Keep your eyes on your own paper, you don't want to appear to be cheating and cause unnecessary trouble for yourself.
- Do the easiest problems first. Don't stay on a problem that you are stuck on especially when time is a factor.
- Do the problems that have the greatest point values first.
- Don't rush but pace yourself. Read the entire question and look for keywords.
- Write legibly. If the grader can't read what you wrote, they'll most likely mark it wrong.
- Always read the whole question carefully. Don't make assumptions about what the question might be.
- If you don't know an answer, skip it. Go on with the rest of the test and come back to it later. Other parts of the test may have some information that will help you out with that question.
- Don't worry if others finish before you. Focus on the test in front of you.
- If you have time left when you are finished, look over your test. Make sure that you have answered all the questions, only change an answer if you misread or misinterpreted the question because the first answer that you put is usually the correct one. Watch out for careless mistakes and proofread your essay and/or short answer questions.
- Most importantly it has to come from within you, a hunger for achievement. The sense of responsibility that you are writing the exam and getting good marks is for you. Take it as training. There are much bigger things waiting for you.
This exam is the first step in your life - a trial. Take the first step firmly; you can climb other steps in the life ladder easily.

Std.10 English-U(III)-Ch(3)- The Ballad of Father Gilligan - An Appreciation

SSLC English-U(III)-Ch(3) - The Ballad of Father Gilligan - Appreciation by Jisha K.
A ballad is a form of verse often a narrative set to music originally written to accompany dances and so were composed in couplets with refrains in alternative stanzas. W. B. Yeats's poem" The Ballad of Father Gilligan" tells the moving story of Father Peter Gilligan and God Almighty's timely intervention in his life. The poem is written in the form of a ballad with a self contained story, which depends more on imagery than description. It was said that Yeats himself was too much interested in collecting legends and traditional songs of Ireland in his mature days that he ended up writing ballads. The great Providence and his everlasting benevolence is the theme of this beautiful poem. Father Peter Gilligan was at the end of his tether and was exhausted beyond measure running day and night performing his priestly obligations. The parishioners of Father Gilligan had contacted a deadly epidemic and hence were dying. Half of them were in sick beds waiting for their deaths. He had to give the deceased the funeral rites and the dying the last communion. It was imperative for the Catholics to receive the rites of extreme unction so that their souls are salvaged and the doors of heaven would be opened for them. He was too physically exhausted that he started mumbling himself and lamented, on a whim that he had neither rest, joy nor sleep. In the meantime a poor man has sent for him which he nodded. The next moment, he realized that his desperate outburst was nothing short of a grave sin and he endeavours to rationalize his errant words by pegging on to the claim that it was not his willful soul which was dying to help his people that expressed such a grievance but his exhausted body. Seeking forgiveness, the father knelt leaning on the chair and becomes fast asleep. Father Gilligan wakes up next morning as if jolted by a kick, a shudder going deep down his spine, an intense feeling of guilt enveloped him as he was not able to give the poor man his service. He rides recklessly to the spot on a horse back keeping his life at stake. On reaching the house, he was too startled to find that the man had already died. The lady who opened the door exclaims that it was his second visit. He cries in alarm as he realized that God had sent one of his angels to minister his duties to save him from eternal damnation and also to give salvation to the poor man. Father Gilligan praises the glory of God. He compares Him to a priest whose parish is the whole universe. He proclaims that for all the labours we have taken God has unfailing sympathy and care stored for us. The poem is a homage to the traditional Irish poetry and legends. He presents rural Ireland with the poverty of people and their extreme religiosity. The poem is a literary ballad written according to the tenets of ballad form. It has a narrative, couplets,with refrains, common regional dialect and adventure, dramatic and folksy.
