00:54Thank you
01:25Thank you
01:30Even haven't written the letter
01:32So this is two and a half marks
01:33As you can see
01:34Two and a half marks on 10
01:3625% you have scored
01:38You haven't even written the letter
01:40And I urge you
01:42Keep practicing this as drill work
01:44You know when we were children
01:46We used to do something repeatedly
01:49You do it over and over
01:51And over and over and over again
01:53And what happens
01:54It gets into you
01:56I recommend this kind of drill work
02:00For letter writing
02:03Letter writing format
02:04You will just get the 25% of 10
02:07That is two and a half marks
02:09And you haven't even begun
02:12Alright
02:13Having done that
02:14Let's move to that sorely neglected
02:17Part of letter writing
02:19That is body
02:21Format is very important
02:23Format is very important
02:24It's marks for the asking
02:27Yes

02:59Please ma'am
03:00Okay ma'am
03:02I'm so humbled
03:04I'm so humbled by your request
03:05But I'm fighting time
03:06I'm looking at my watch
03:07And I can just see
03:08The seconds ticking away
03:09So I'll just get on
03:10To the body of the letter
03:12Okay
03:13Child
03:13Okay
03:13This is very important
03:14Because you'll get marks for this
03:16Yes okay
03:17Okay stay with us
03:19Ma'am next question
03:20Should the language
03:21And informal letter
03:23Be casual and informal
03:25That is
03:25Can the student use
03:26Contraction and words
03:28Like cause
03:29For because
03:30No miss
03:31No miss
03:32Again I repeat
03:32This is a test
03:34Of how well you use language
03:35Okay
03:37And good language
03:38Ma'am we don't compromise
03:39Okay
03:40You cannot spell
03:41Or not even spell
03:42It's misspell
03:43And this new language
03:44That seems to be
03:45Gripping everybody
03:46It's not language at all miss
03:47This is a test
03:48Of how well you wield words
03:50How well you use language
03:51How well you say what you have to
03:54Okay
03:55And the language is
03:56It's not formal language
03:57But it has to be warm
03:59But it has to be warm
04:00Friendly
04:01And I'll discuss that
04:02When I come to the body
04:03Of the letter
04:03Okay
04:05Now children
04:06And the body of the letter
04:07Also carries these two and a half marks
04:10And I'm a little concerned
04:12That year after year
04:14What happens
04:15Is that you
04:18Neglect
04:18To address
04:20What is being asked
04:22In the body of the letter
04:24And today we're going to spend
04:25A little time
04:26On looking for the clues
04:28Or what I will call
04:29Pointers
04:31Pointers
04:32To what
04:34The body
04:35Is asking
04:35Yes
04:36In the body of the letter
04:38There will be certain questions
04:40I'll give you an example
04:41Excellent
04:42One question paper
04:44That we had many years ago
04:45I forget the year now
04:46Was
04:47You have been selected
04:49As school captain
04:51Write a letter
04:52To your parents
04:53Who live abroad
04:54Telling them
04:55Look at me
04:57How you felt
04:58When you got the news
05:02Why you think
05:03You have been selected
05:06What your plans are
05:07For the new year
05:08Now you see children
05:09Three questions
05:10Have been asked
05:11Okay
05:11How did you feel
05:14When you were chosen
05:15Can you imagine
05:16How did you feel
05:17In front of the whole school
05:18The principal is saying
05:21Ashok Pradhan
05:22Is now school captain
05:24Wow
05:25Clap clap clap clap
05:26Everybody's cheering
05:27What is Ashok Pradhan
05:28Feeling in his heart
05:29He's feeling thrilled
05:32He's feeling excited
05:35Right
05:36See these two words
05:37Are important
05:39I am a little disturbed
05:40When people call them
05:41Keywords
05:41They're not keywords
05:42There's no keywords
05:44In the council
05:44We use implied language
05:46Implied meaning
05:48Okay
05:48So instead of thrilled
05:49You can say
05:50Overjoyed
05:51Instead of excited
05:52You could say
05:54Disbelief
05:55Shock
05:56And of course
05:57That word you all love
05:58So much
05:58Awesome
05:59Alright
06:01The next one
06:02How did you feel
06:03When you heard the news
06:04The next question
06:06Why do you think
06:08You have been selected
06:10There are 1200 children
06:11In your school
06:12You have been chosen
06:14Why
06:15Give me two reasons
06:17Give me two words
06:18To describe
06:18Why you have been chosen
06:20You know children
06:21When I ask
06:22My school captains
06:23And I ask my
06:24School leaders
06:25Why do you think
06:26You have been chosen
06:26And they give me
06:27A variety of answers
06:29Some of them say
06:30Ma'am I was good in sports
06:31I was ex-division champion
06:33Last year
06:35Some say
06:35I have 100% attendance
06:37A good many of them
06:39Say teachers
06:40Think I have
06:41Leadership qualities
06:42Ask yourself today
06:44If you were
06:45School captain
06:46If you were
06:47School captain
06:48Why have you been chosen
06:49And I'll tell you
06:51Here
06:51Let's take
06:51Ma'am please
06:52Sorry to interrupt
06:53No no no
06:53Interrupt
06:54I just get so carried away
06:55I just didn't read
06:55Rona Jain
06:57Partner
06:58Hello
07:02Rona
07:02Yes
07:04We can hear you
07:05Rona
07:05Yes
07:09What's your question
07:10What's your question
07:11My question is that
07:13How much paragraphs
07:14Should we write in body
07:16In friendly letter writing
07:17That's a lovely question
07:18You've asked
07:19That's a lovely question
07:20I'm going to answer
07:21You right away
07:23Is Rona
07:24Rona
07:25Rona
07:25Son see
07:26There are
07:28You have to answer
07:29The question
07:30In two parts
07:31So how much
07:32It doesn't matter
07:33Quantity doesn't matter
07:34A good number of my
07:35Children ask me
07:35Miss how many paragraphs
07:37It's not the paragraphs
07:38You address
07:39The question
07:41How did you feel
07:43Why do you think
07:44The minute you're finished
07:45How did you feel
07:46I was excited
07:46I was overjoyed
07:47You come to
07:48The next part
07:49Why do you think
07:50You have been selected
07:51Right
07:52You give me two words
07:53Tell me why you think
07:54Your teachers have chosen you
07:56As school captain
07:56So let's take this child
07:58Who told me
07:58That he was
07:59Why
08:00This is your question
08:01Why
08:01He was sports captain
08:03Oh he did well at sports
08:05No he couldn't have been
08:06Sports captain
08:06He did well at sports
08:07And your other reason
08:10Teachers think
08:11I have leadership qualities
08:12So here you have
08:13Leadership qualities
08:14For each of this
08:17For each of these points
08:19Each of these questions
08:20You give me two points
08:21You give me two words
08:23And the third one
08:27How did you feel
08:28The second one is
08:29Why have you been chosen
08:31And the third one is
08:32What are your plans
08:34For this new year
08:36This is a lovely question
08:38Because
08:38When you have been selected
08:40As school captain
08:41You have a lot of responsibility
08:43And you have the power
08:44To make change
08:45Change for good
08:48So what changes
08:49Are you going to make
08:49And when I talk to my children
08:51Again all over the
08:52All over India
08:53All my children say
08:56For what changes
08:57They tell me
09:00I'm going to have
09:01Better line discipline
09:03A lot of them
09:03Talk about this line discipline
09:05So I'm putting this down
09:06Better line discipline
09:08And sometimes
09:09The children say
09:10Miss I'll organise
09:11A very good teacher's day
09:13To say thank you
09:14To the teachers
09:14On the 5th of September
09:15Which I think
09:16Is a prefix responsibility
09:18So
09:18A better teacher's day
09:24Okay
09:25Now see what has happened
09:27In the body of the letter
09:28You have got these 6 words
09:30Look at these 6 words
09:32Thrilled
09:33Excited
09:35I was good in sports
09:36I have leadership qualities
09:38What changes will you bring
09:40Better line discipline
09:42Organise a good teacher's day
09:43So then
09:44You understand
09:45How these 2 and a half marks
09:47Are going to be distributed
09:47You get half
09:49Plus half
09:49Plus half
09:50Plus half
09:51Anyway
09:522 and a half marks
09:54There's 2 and a half marks
09:57For asking
09:57The children
09:59Are making the mistake
10:00Of not
10:00Answering
10:02The clues
10:03Which are actually hidden
10:05In the body
10:06In the question
10:07The clues
10:09Are in the question
10:11I would like to tell
10:12Children all over
10:13When you get your question paper
10:14Read the letter
10:17Underline those
10:18Question words
10:19And then
10:20It helps me
10:21Draw this
10:23So you know
10:242 points
10:252 points
10:262 points
10:28Children
10:28You can't fail
10:29To get these 2 and a half marks
10:30The 2 and a half marks
10:32Are yours for the asking
10:32So you've got
10:332 and a half marks
10:34For your format
10:35Can't go wrong there
10:37And out of these 6 words
10:39Any 5
10:40Would be correct
10:40Let me do
10:41Just one more example
10:42And I'll take your question
10:44Your grandfather
10:45Take this one
10:47Your grandfather
10:48Celebrated his 100th birthday
10:53Write a
10:53You were unable to attend
10:55That's important
10:56You were unable to attend
10:57Write a letter
10:58To your grandfather
11:01Telling him
11:01Why you missed his birthday
11:03First one
11:04Let me clean this board
11:05And I'll get back to you
11:12Alright
11:12So come to the body
11:13Write a letter
11:14To your grandfather
11:15Telling him
11:15Why you missed his birthday
11:17Ok now remember
11:19See this
11:20See this figure
11:23Congratulate him
11:24100 years old
11:25My goodness
11:26That's a wonderful age
11:27To be at
11:30And tell your grandfather
11:32What you admire about him
11:33So again
11:34Admire
11:38Why did you miss his birthday?
11:41You'll begin
11:41My dear grandfather
11:43I'm very sorry
11:45That I missed your birthday
11:45I was in the middle
11:47Of my board exams
11:47I was sick
11:49I could not travel
11:52Happy birthday
11:53Many happy returns
11:54Of the day
11:55Congratulations
11:55Best wishes
11:58Grandfather
11:59You have been my role model
12:00What I admire about you
12:03Is the way you have led
12:05Such a disciplined life
12:07And the high level
12:09Of integrity
12:10You showed
12:11While you were working
12:13As a senior police officer
12:15My grandfather
12:16What a grandfather
12:18Yes ma'am
12:19Your question
12:19No no no
12:32So you see children
12:33My point is
12:34Do not neglect
12:36Format
12:37You are almost always correct
12:40You don't go wrong
12:40I'll slip here and there
12:41I understand
12:42Format
12:43Remember punctuations
12:44Are very important
12:45Yes
12:45Ma'am
12:46Your question
12:51What should be the opening lines of a letter
12:54Everybody writes
12:55How are you
12:56Ma'am
12:56That doesn't come in format
12:57That is coming in the expression of the letter
12:59I will deal with that
13:00Okay
13:00I will deal with that
13:01You have a question about punctuation
13:02I know
13:03Okay
13:03Okay
13:03Okay
13:04Punctuation
13:04I have to talk to myself
13:05Punctuation
13:08Punctuations are extremely important
13:10Punctuation marks are very very important
13:12Do not be careless about it
13:13And I will tell you why
13:15Punctuations have the power to alter meaning
13:18You know we tell a lot of jokes and stories
13:20About how a single sentence
13:23Differently punctuated
13:25Makes different sense
13:26Ma'am sorry interrupt you
13:29Yes
13:32Yes ma'am
13:33I have a question that
13:34If we write a letter to our neighbours
13:36Yes
13:37Then does it fall under formal or informal
13:40That is a lovely question you have asked me
13:41And I am just waiting for somebody to ask this question
13:43Thank you
13:44Child
13:44This question is a dangerous question
13:48It is a tricky question
13:49Because I do not know your relationship with your neighbour
13:52Are you on a formal relationship
13:54Are you in a friendly relationship
13:56Yes
13:56So personally
13:57I will stick
13:58And I request your teachers in schools also
14:00To stick to this
14:00Friendly letter goes to parents
14:04Grandparents
14:04Near relatives
14:05Siblings
14:06And friends
14:07So we won't enter into that grey area
14:10Of neighbours
14:11And others
14:12Because we are not sure where they fall in
14:14Anything else miss?
14:16No punctuation
14:17Punctuation I said
14:18Have the power to alter meaning
14:20So let's accept
14:23Comma comma full stop
14:24Don't skimp on that children
14:26It is just so important
14:28It is just an act of discipline
14:29Just get into the habit
14:30Of punctuating your sentences
14:32Having done both these examples
14:35Okay okay please
14:36Let's go on to the other part
14:39That carries the most marks in letter writing
14:42Concluding part ma'am
14:47No no I will come to now the expression
14:49See I told you three parts
14:51Okay expression
14:51I said format is there
14:53We have done
14:53Body rather hurriedly but done
14:55We are train your mind now
14:58To look for those question words
15:01Where are the question words hiding?
15:03They are hiding in the words of the letter
15:06The question that is given to you
15:08I am sorry
15:08What?
15:08I am sorry
15:09What?
15:09Hold on
15:09Hold on
15:10Raghu Pagarwal
15:11Lakhno the Keroj sir
15:12Raghu please
15:14Yes hello
15:15Yes ma'am
15:16Yes sir
15:16Yes sir
15:16Yes Ramah
15:18My question is that
15:19When we write the email
15:20And if the question does not give
15:22What a designation at the last
15:24What do we write in that case?
15:26I am going to answer that question
15:28Although it is not relevant to this
15:31You are not
15:32You need not write a designation
15:34Unless the designation is part of the question
15:37That you are the science secretary
15:38Now you write an email
15:40If the question does not have that designation
15:43You need not include it
15:44You write as yourself
15:45Right done
15:46Again outside the scope of today's lesson
15:48Okay thank you sir
15:49We come to this
15:52Children
15:52This carries five marks
15:56I want to explore two myths here
15:59The expression of the letter
16:00Does not depend on the composition
16:05How can it?
16:06That is what we would call
16:08A teacher's shadow effect
16:09So if you do well in the composition
16:11You automatically get good marks
16:12In the letter
16:12That is not correct
16:14Let me show you
16:15How you use these five marks
16:18To best advantage
16:19The point of today's class
16:21In this studio
16:24Is to show you
16:25How you can score marks
16:26So I am going to deal with
16:28Two opening sentences
16:29Two closing sentences
16:32So you are opening children
16:33I said sentences
16:35That is full stop to full stop
16:37Opening sentences
16:39They are not questions
16:42So do not begin a letter
16:43My dear grandfather
16:44How are you?
16:46Right?
16:47Do not begin with it
16:48Then your question should be missed
16:50Then what do I do?
16:51What do I begin with?
16:53The worst thing
16:54A letter can do
16:55Is begin with
16:56How are you?
16:57How is your health?
16:58And so on and so on
16:58It's so
16:59The word in English
17:00Is hackneyed
17:00It's repeated and repeated
17:03Ad nauseum
17:03If you are sick of it
17:04So how do you have
17:06A creative
17:07Opening sentence
17:10Now a creative
17:11Opening sentence
17:13Look at me
17:14Is a pointer
17:16It points to what?
17:18It points to the body
17:20Of the letter
17:21See now
17:23The body of the letter
17:25Is closely related
17:27To the expression

18:51There are no gaps left officially
18:53Between the paragraphs
18:54Please don't leave a gap
18:56And between the salutation
18:58And the body of the letter
19:00Don't leave a gap

23:56We were talking about two sentences for opening sentences.
24:01And some caller asked about closing sentences or conclusion.
24:07The same principle applies.
24:09The two sentences that you will open with point to the topic of the letter.
24:15Then the two sentences that you will close with will also point to the topic of the letter.
24:21So that it's rounded off.
24:24I'll give you two examples.
24:25School captain.
24:26Again, we'll go back to those two examples because you've got them now.
24:33Closing sentences or the conclusion for you have been selected as school captain.
24:38Your sentence should read.
24:41I'm so excited about it.

24:58For grandfather's birthday, two closing sentences.
25:01Children, full stop to full stop.
25:04I hope you have a wonderful year ahead, grandfather.
25:07Full stop.

25:11I do look forward to meeting you as soon as my examinations are over.
25:16Then you will end up.

25:20Yours affectionately.
25:22Yes.
25:22Ali.
25:23So, we have Ali writing to his grandfather.
25:26Ma'am, this has been very hurried.
25:28Let me go on to notice writing.
25:30Okay.
25:31Children, notice writing.
25:32Notice writing is not very common, ma'am.
25:35How does one begin to write a notice?
25:38I'll tell you.
25:38First, let me tell you why.
25:39Why is important.
25:40I'll tell you why.
25:41I'll tell you why.
25:42The council...
25:43Ma'am, please, let me start, Corbyn.
25:44AIMURTE, a student writer, Vishnu Narayun, doctor.
25:49Vishnu Narayun, please ask your question.
25:51Hello there, ma'am.
25:54Hello.
25:54Good afternoon.
25:55Yes, tell me.
25:56Hello.
25:56I can hear you.
25:58How do we know that we've reached the exact word count desired in the essay writing?
26:05Essay writing?
26:06Not essay writing.
26:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:08Son, we're not doing essay writing today.
26:10Yes, not essay writing.
26:11But I'll tell you.
26:11I'll answer your question nevertheless.
26:13See, when you practice essay writing, when you practice essay writing, you're supposed to
26:17write between 300 and 350 words.
26:19That's quite a wide margin.
26:20Okay, so in your practice time, one day you take up a composition that you've already written
26:25and count the number of words.
26:28For me, my average class 9, 10 child, 350 words will be one side and three-fourths of
26:35another side of an exercise book, right, for that particular child.
26:42You find out what is the length in your own writing.
26:46And you stick with that.
26:47But if it's one and a half pages, if it's two, not pages, sides, if it's one and a half
26:50sides of a page, if it's two sides of a page, you write accordingly.
26:54You don't have to do it exactly.
26:55It's not an exact word.
26:56Leave it there.
26:57Ma'am, may I go on to notice writing?
27:00Ma'am, let me tell you why notice writing.
27:02Why is important and why is notice writing?
27:04Yes, yes, ma'am.
27:05You see, this child has asked this question about composition writing is question one.
27:10In 300 to 350 words, children are taught to express themselves, idiomatic language, good
27:18syntax, good vocabulary, good language, good thoughts, 350 words.
27:24Exactly.
27:25Today, when I ask people, adults, I'm not talking about children, do you read anything?
27:31Invariably, they'll say, no, I don't read.
27:33Why don't you read?
27:34I'm talking about teachers, miss.
27:35I'm talking about, I'm going to ask teachers.
27:36Why don't you read?
27:37Miss, I don't have time.
27:39See, now time has become an issue.
27:42Nobody has the time to read 350 words of a composition.
27:47So on one side, we teach them to express themselves.
27:51Exactly.
27:51On the other side, we have to teach them an important life lesson.
27:56Say many things, few words.
27:58Few words.
27:58Because nobody is going to give you their attention.
28:01That is very important.
28:01When you're an adult and you go into an office to sell something, after five minutes, the
28:07listener will switch off.
28:08Yes.
28:09So you have to track that listener's attention, no?
28:11That is why notice writing is important.
28:13Children, if you remember the principle, why notice writing?
28:17We teach you to say many things, few words.
28:22Notice writing is going to become an important part of, it is already an important part of
28:26our daily life.
28:27You have to look at a symbol.
28:28You have to look at one word.
28:30You have to look at a tick mark.
28:32And you have to understand what it means.
28:35Without words, with few words, express yourself with many ideas.
28:42Notice writing is here to stay.
28:44It carries five marks.
28:47You can get five marks.
28:50Five marks are yours.
28:52Just some simple rules.
28:54Is there any format to notice writing?
28:56There is.
28:57There is.
28:57I'm coming to that.
28:59See, I'll tell you, as of now, and I can say this with confidence, notice writing will
29:06always be within the experience, and if your teachers are listening to this, the contextual,
29:13contemporary experience of a 15-year-old child.
29:17What is the experience of the 15-year-old child?
29:20It is school events, home events, events of the locality.
29:27Your local club has organized some feeding program.
29:30Lockdown, a lot of people are doing that.
29:32Lockdown, exactly.
29:32A lot of people are doing that.
29:33Yes, yes, yes.
29:34This is the month of May, you're going to have Robindra Jayanti.
29:37Yes.
29:38Okay, in June, you'll have Founders Day.
29:41In July, you will have, I mean, Kolkata won't have Sports Day, but a long,
29:46a number of schools in other parts of India do have Sports Day, August Independence Day.
29:5115th August.
29:51Isn't my best advice to you is to take your school diary.
29:54Go down each of the events, the celebrations planned for the year, and for each of them,
30:01you give one catchy, exciting title.
30:05Yes.
30:05Those of you...
30:06Lockdown period.
30:07When we were in school, we were going to know that if we were going to do a lockdown,
30:10we were going to do a lot of this role.
30:12So, this is the notice writing, we were going to do a lot of our lives.
30:15No.
30:15Then, the first thing you have to do in a notice is give one or two words in a catchy,
30:24creative title.
30:25Yes.
30:26Jam on.
30:27You know, I play this game with class 6 and 7 children.
30:30You ask them, don't come to class 9 and 10.
30:33Class 6 and 7.
30:34You ask them, if you had a toy shop, what would you name it?
30:37If you had a bookshop, what would you name it?
30:39If you had a sweet shop, what would you...
30:41And you cannot imagine, no, the joy and the excitement this class generates, because everybody
30:46wants to name their shop.
30:48Yes.
30:48Everybody wants to name their shop.
30:49And I've had some of the best ideas come to me from this group.
30:54I asked one child, if you had a sweet shop, what would you name it?
30:57The child said, I'll call it sugar rush.
31:01I was class 6.
31:04If you had a bookshop, what would you call it?
31:07He said, I'll take a booktook.
31:08So, the idea here is to give a catchy, creative title.
31:13Now, this catchy, creative title, children, again, I'll address you, it comes through practice.
31:18I'll encourage you now to play mind games with yourself.
31:23Okay, ma'am, please.
31:24Please interrupt you.
31:25Gauhun, who was the one who was talking about?
31:27We were talking about your children.
31:28Gauhun, please, ask your question.
31:31Experience of a 15-year-old child.
31:33Hello.
31:33What is the experience of a 15-year-old child?
31:36What is the experience of a 15-year-old child?
31:37Gauhun, please, ask your question.
31:40Would you please mute your TV set or volume?
31:47Hello?
31:48Yes, we can hear you.
31:50Gauhun, please, ask your question.
31:53Ma'am, is there any division between content and language marking in friendly letter?
32:00Yes.
32:01Yes.
32:02Stay with me.
32:02Two and a half is for the body, that is content.
32:05Okay.
32:06And five marks are for expression, which is language.
32:10No?
32:11Are you answered?
32:14Okay, ma'am.
32:14Have you been answered?
32:15Go on.
32:16I have answered.
32:17Okay.
32:17So let's come back to notice writing.
32:19I just, I'm so conscious of time ticking.
32:23Let's take an example.
32:25Let's take art competition.
32:27Now listen.
32:27Your school is hosting an inter-school art competition.
32:34Put up a notice for your school to inform everyone of the event.
32:41So art competition.
32:43Now let's see.
32:44Give me a creative title for an art competition.
32:48When I ask my children, they give me splash with color, palette, rainbow, sit and draw.
32:57One child told me art attack and I was so impressed.
33:00And then I realized that it is the name of a TV show.
33:03So anyway, still, so be it.
33:04So here we have one creative title.
33:09Children, 80 marks your answer script carries.
33:12One mark is for yourself.
33:15To express yourself.
33:17Of course, in English, I don't have to repeat that.
33:20In the most creative, exciting way.
33:25So, art competition, what will you name it?
33:28Let's, for sample, call it rainbow.
33:30So here you have your art competition called rainbow.
33:35Rainbow stands for so many color.
33:37No, rainbow we said.
33:38No, rainbow.
33:38So, as always, I will say punctuate.
33:42Rainbow could be a full stop.
33:44If it's an inter-house cricket competition, how's that?
33:47How's that?
33:48How's that?
33:49You have an exclamation mark.
33:51If it's an inter-school swimming competition, your title is splash, exclamation mark.
33:58If it's a quiz competition, what's the good word?
34:02Question mark.
34:04You'll notice by now I'm very high on punctuation.
34:06So please, punctuate your title properly.
34:12This one word will give you one mark.
34:18Use this well.
34:19This comes with practice.
34:22This comes with repeated testing yourself.
34:26Play this mind game with yourself.
34:28Play it in your class with your friends.
34:30Play it in groups.
34:32Play it in together, two, three, any number.
34:37Make two groups in the class.
34:39One will give the title.
34:41One will give the situation, the event.
34:43The other will give the title.
34:45Then alternate.
34:46This group will give the situation.
34:48Art competition, debate competition, swimming competition, Independence Day.
34:51Go on.
34:51And this group will give the title.
34:53With this practice, you'll come up with some of the most creative ideas.
34:59Exactly.
34:59Two roles.
35:00One is correctly punctuated.
35:03And the second one, it has to be in English.
35:06And I'll tell you why I'm saying this.
35:08One group with whom I had conducted this, we said inter-house music competition.
35:13And the children said, we'll call it sare gama.
35:16And we had to stop them.
35:18Because that is not in English.
35:21Do you just remember this?
35:23Okay.
35:23It has to be in English.
35:25It has to be properly punctuated.
35:27One mark is for you.
35:28We go on to the next one.
35:31What is rainbow?
35:32If you ask me what is rainbow, I'm an outsider.
35:35I don't know.
35:35What is rainbow?
35:37Rainbow is my inter-house art and craft, no, not can't be craft, inter-house art exhibition.
35:47So here, this inter-house art exhibition, children, where is it?
35:52It's in your question paper only.
35:54The question will read your school is hosting an inter-house art competition.
35:59What do you have to do?
36:00Take up that and put it into your answer script.
36:02But I'll give you a tip.
36:04It's not right, no?
36:05You lift something and just put it there and expect to get one mark.
36:09So I'll encourage you, even there, add a word.
36:13Add two words.
36:14Just to give it body, so that you do not have to just lift, cut, copy, paste, which too many
36:21people are doing nowadays.
36:22So we'll say, what is this?
36:24We won't write inter-house art competition.
36:26We'll write, your school is 25 years old.
36:28So silver jubilee.
36:36Art competition.
36:38Silver jubilee.
36:40Silver jubilee.
36:40Inter-house art competition.
36:42Children, right?
36:43See, what have you added?
36:44Art competition is in your question paper.
36:46Out of your own creativity, you've added the word silver jubilee.
36:49Silver jubilee, right.
36:50This miss will encourage children to think a little bit more than what?
36:57All this complaint, no, our children don't think our children don't.
36:59Here's your chance.
37:00See that creativity.
37:02When they say that we don't have creativity, here's your chance.
37:05Use it.
37:06We give you opportunity.
37:07We give you training in creativity.
37:09Exactly.
37:09Okay, and I just love this question, because some of you children are so good.
37:15You're just ready for the 21st century when you come up with these creative titles.
37:20You've got few words, many ideas.
37:23Now, so silver jubilee art competition.
37:27Important.
37:28We come now.
37:31When will this art competition be held?
37:33Now look at the lesson here.
37:35A powerful lesson in courtesy.
37:37See, when I invite somebody, today's the 19th, I can't say come on the 20th.
37:44I can't say come on the 21st.
37:47You give them a little time.
37:49You're not trying to teach them to write the date.
37:52You're teaching them a life lesson.
37:53Something far beyond just writing the date.
37:55In any case, you've written date for letter.
37:57Why will I test you again?
37:59When you invite somebody to your school, when you ask somebody to participate in something,
38:04you give them notice.
38:06The rule is usually, if it's in the same town, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days.
38:13If it's for another town, I'm telling you, I advise you with travel being what it is now.
38:17Please take three weeks.
38:19So, let's have this.
38:20Today is the 19th.
38:22However, we fixed for the 4th of May.
38:27That's a good day in Kolkata anyway.
38:29All right?
38:29So, our art competition will be held on the 4th of May, 2020.
38:40See?
38:40What is the teaching point?
38:42Not the date.
38:45How do you invite people?
38:47Yes.
38:48All right?
38:49So, you've got one mark here.
38:50Children, you've got one mark here.
38:51You get half.
38:52I'll show this half a mark like this.
38:5514th of May at what time?
38:584th May.
38:58I'm sorry.
38:594th May at what time?
39:01Very important lesson now.
39:04How do you write time?
39:06What is AM?
39:08What is PM?
39:11What is PM?
39:11What is noon?
39:13I'm appalled, children, that we have come to class 10 without learning this.
39:18My children are still writing this.
39:22This is AM.
39:24This is not AM.
39:26AM stands for ante.
39:31And M stands for meridian.
39:33Ante meridian means before noon.
39:37Then 12 o'clock, that witching hour, is noon.
39:41One second after that becomes to post-meridian.
39:45Ante meridian, post-meridian.
39:48What a powerful lesson.
39:50How do you write time?
39:52So, let's come back to this.
39:56My name is Duster.
39:57Oh, here it is.
39:57Duster, yes.
39:58Yes.
40:01So, what is a good time to start an art competition?
40:04Shall we start at 9 in the morning?
40:05Yeah.
40:06So, we'll begin at 9.
40:08See how time is written.
40:10A?
40:11Yes.
40:122.
40:143 hours is enough.
40:15Paint will dry.
40:1712.
40:19Noon.
40:19Noon.
40:21If it went on to 5 minutes past 12, it will become 12 PM.
40:26See how AM is written.
40:28Children, don't make a mistake.
40:30See?
40:30We say, no, the devil is in the detail.
40:33Look after the details.
40:35These are not just examination skills.
40:39These are life skills, children.
40:41Doing things correctly.
40:43Doing things correctly.
40:44With care.
40:46With concentration.
40:47Just, this requires a little.
40:49You have to make up your mind.
40:50That I will not accept shoddy work.
40:52I will not give up shoddy work.
40:54I will always do my best.
40:55This is the way to do it.
40:57Just practice this.
40:58This is a life skill.
41:009 AM to 12 noon.
41:02Now listen.
41:03Where is this competition going to be held?
41:06It's going to be held in the art room.
41:10In the art room of the centenary school.
41:14Art room, small place.
41:16Centenary school, big place.
41:18If it's a science exhibition, it will be held in the physics laboratory of St. Joseph's Boys.
41:26If it is a debate competition, it will be held in the auditorium of St. Mary's High School.
41:34Smaller to bigger.
41:36Smaller to bigger.
41:38When you give people directions, how do you tell them?
41:40Come to the centenary hall of St. Joseph's Boys School.
41:44Smaller to bigger.
41:46You understand what powerful lessons are coming out of this time, Marks?
41:52Marks are important, children.
41:54They are not the most important thing.
41:55There is much beyond that.
41:57And out of these lessons, we become better people.
42:02Mark.
42:03So, where is this art competition?
42:05We said it will be held in the art room.
42:08Sorry.
42:11Comma.
42:12Where is this art room?
42:14We call it this, no, not Silver Jubilee, no.
42:16We have to call it the centenary school.
42:25Okay.
42:25Now, look, children.
42:27One mark, one mark.
42:28Half a mark, half a mark.
42:31Half a mark, half a mark.
42:32Yes.
42:35Written correctly.
42:37How do you write an address?
42:39Let's go back to our friendly letter writing.
42:41First the apartment, then the locality, then the city.
42:45First the apartment, then the locality, then the city.
42:49That is the format.
42:51Okay.
42:52That's why you told that format is very important.
42:56Format is a certain discipline that we bring into our work.
42:59So, art room, centenary high school.
43:02Then, up to here we are fine children.
43:05We are really, really fine.
43:07Now, trouble strikes.
43:09I am a child of the school.
43:11How are we doing for time, miss?
43:12Just five or seven minutes.
43:14Okay.
43:15Okay, I am rushing this.
43:16I am rushing this.
43:17Okay.
43:21Up to here we are fine.
43:23I am an outsider.
43:24I am looking at all this.
43:27And I say, so what?
43:29So what?
43:30What is my response to all this information?
43:33As you grow older, you will be meeting people and you will be trying to tell them something.
43:38You will try to sell them a project.
43:40You will try to make them accept something that you are marketing.
43:48What should be their response?
43:50How do you respond?
43:51I have got all, this is all information.
43:53Rainbow, Silver Jubilee Art Competition, 4th May, 9 a.m., 12 noon, art room, centenary high school.
43:59Very good.
44:00So what?
44:01So then, having read this information, what is my response?
44:05How do I respond?
44:06I will say, all pupils, all students.
44:11I like the word pupils better.
44:12Not today, but maybe some other day.
44:13I will tell you why.
44:14All pupils from classes 8 to 9, we will make it classes 8 to 10.
44:298 to 10 should register their names.
44:41Yes.
44:42With the art teacher.
44:48One sentence.
44:50Just one sentence correctly written.
44:53Sometimes one sentence may become two sentences.
44:55That's all.
44:56And I will tell you what the problem is here.
44:59The problem is, children do not know that register with, enroll with.
45:06Give up your names to.
45:08You know what?
45:09It's the prepositions.
45:11It's the same grammar question that you've tumbled on.
45:15If it's art.
45:18If it's art, you register your name.
45:19If it's sports, you go for heats.
45:22If it's debate, there are auditions.
45:24See, these terms you learn.
45:26And always learn the preposition that goes with the term.
45:31Register with.
45:32Enroll with.
45:34Give up your names too.
45:35No question.
45:37No question.
45:37No, ma'am.
45:38No more question.
45:39Actually, I am going to tell you.
45:41I am going to tell you that there are common mystics that are common mystics that are not prepositions.
45:56Children, because prepositions are not rules.
45:59It acts as a listening skill.
46:01If you have not listened to correctly spoken English, you fall on the prepositions.
46:06They will say register their names too.
46:10Enroll their names too.
46:12Eta kintu.
46:13And this is a primary school matter.
46:15The proper listening skills will ensure that you get one mark.
46:19My experience tells me, all this they are okay.
46:23We will fall here.
46:25Any assignment, ma'am?
46:27Friendly letter writing and notice?
46:29Any assignments?
46:31Yes, I can give plenty of assignments, ma'am.
46:34Okay, okay.
46:34You practice.
46:35You keep practicing format.
46:37Children practice format separately.
46:38Just practice format separately.
46:40Practice body with those two arrows that I told you.
46:44Underline those question words, put the two arrows.
46:47And the assignment for this notice writing, the creativity, the title creativity, the creativity of the title, you continuously practice.
47:01If I had a pet dog, what would I name it?
47:04Then ask yourself, why?
47:06If I owned a sweet shop, what would I name it?
47:08Why?
47:09Just keep doing this with yourself and you'll come up with them.
47:12You'll be amazed at your own power.
47:15Miss, I have 20 seconds.
47:16I'll go, okay.
47:17Please, please, please.
47:18I want to say something to you.
47:19This is outside the scope.
47:20I have not asked my...
47:22I have not asked the counsel.
47:23I have not asked the anchor.
47:26See, we live in uncertain times.
47:28I never, ever thought in my wildest dreams that I'll stand in a photo studio and talk to a group
47:33of cameramen or technicians.
47:36I never thought that.
47:38All of you are into, with your computers, you have your online classes, you have your digitalized textbook.
47:49All very well.
47:50I have nothing against you.
47:50I'm doing well.
47:51Please go ahead.
47:52That is the learning of the new century.
47:54That is the learning we live with these times.
47:56But I want to say this on behalf of all your teachers, not just your English teachers.
48:01I want to say this on behalf of all your teachers, many of whom I know, many of whom I
48:05don't know,
48:06but I speak on behalf of every teacher.
48:10Children, we miss you.
48:13We miss coming to school.
48:16We miss coming to class.
48:19We miss seeing you, jumping around, changing your places, fighting with each other, pushing each other, whatever.
48:24We just miss you.
48:26We want you to stay well.
48:28We want you to stay home.
48:30Stay safe.
48:32Look after yourself.
48:34But at the same time, we hope and pray that when this blows over, we'll all be back together again.
48:40Thank you very much.
48:42I have the same word you say.
48:48Shortly choose a word I have.
48:50I have the same word you say.
48:53I have the same word you say.
48:54Very nice, ma'am.
48:56I am so humbled.
48:57I am done, ma'am.
49:02If there are any questions, I will be happy to take them.
49:04Okay, I am very, very, very, I mean, I just wanted to speak in my language, I mean, I mean,
49:11I am so humbled, such a novel experience for me, I am so unused to all this camera, light, section,

49:23much.
