00:13:10Very easy to score.
00:13:11There are certain things you have to remember.
00:13:14First thing is give a heading.
00:13:16Then you have to give an introduction.
00:13:19You have to write the statement of objective.
00:13:21You have to write the list of measures.
00:13:23You have to write a concluding sentence and you put your signature.
00:13:26Now you are thinking, what are these things?
00:13:28Okay.
00:13:29And why?
00:13:30I'm interrupting you for a second.
00:13:32In these segments, each segment contains a different number.
00:13:38There are marks allotted for different segments.
00:13:41Okay.
00:13:41So only for following the steps, the students can score well.
00:13:45Okay.
00:13:45Alright.
00:13:46Then comes how to attempt a proposal writing.
00:13:49Right.
00:13:49Okay.
00:13:49Now, the first thing is what is a proposal?
00:13:53Why a proposal?
00:13:55Proposal is a kind of a plan or a suggestion for a program which you put forward for approval
00:14:06for approval or consideration.
00:14:08So you have a plan in mind which is given in the question paper and for that plan you need
00:14:14to write a proposal.
00:14:16Now, what do you do with the proposal?
00:14:17If I can get back to the slide again, I'll tell you why I have written certain things in
00:14:22black and certain things in red.
00:14:24The slide, please, for the proposal writing, question number 2B.
00:14:28You see, you give a heading.
00:14:29Now, the things written in black are the things you have to include in the proposal.
00:14:35Without writing, give a heading.
00:14:37Don't write, give a heading.
00:14:38You just give a heading.
00:14:39But those three in red, introduction, statement of objectives and list of measures.
00:14:46These are the three sub-headings that you will need to write when you are writing a proposal.
00:14:53So you have to write introduction and then write the introduction.
00:14:57You have to write statement of objective and then you have to write the statement of objective.
00:15:01Then you have to write list of measures.
00:15:03Then you write down the list of measures.
00:15:05And then you end your proposal with a concluding sentence.
00:15:10And then finally, you put your signature.
00:15:13That is how you attend a proposal writing question.
00:15:17Now, let us take a specimen question for proposal writing.
00:15:21What will be the question?
00:15:24Let us take it.
00:15:26May we go to the next slide?
00:15:29So, here is a proposal, a specimen proposal.
00:15:32As the president of the student council, you want to organize a newspaper collection program.
00:15:41Write a proposal stating the measures you would take for an effective outcome of the program.
00:15:48So, your question is clear.
00:15:50As the president of the student council, you want to organize a newspaper collection program.
00:15:56Write a proposal stating the measures you would take for an effective outcome of the program.
00:16:02So, how do you go about writing the proposal?
00:16:05You see, there is a written proposal for you and you can see that.
00:16:11First of all, you give a heading.
00:16:12What is the heading?
00:16:13The next slide, please.
00:16:22Yes, proposal for newspaper collection program.
00:16:26That is your heading.
00:16:27Now, where are you getting the heading from?
00:16:29Now, you are getting the heading from the question paper itself.
00:16:32It is given in the question paper.
00:16:34So, you put down that heading.
00:16:35It is a proposal for newspaper collection program.
00:16:38Simple as that.
00:16:39You see how simply you can attempt your question.
00:16:42You do not have to think much.
00:16:44Then you give the introduction.
00:16:46Introduction, it is also called heading.
00:16:48But I am using the word introduction because I have already used a heading
00:16:52before that proposal for collecting newspapers.
00:16:55Now, what do you write in the introduction?
00:16:57We propose to have a newspaper collection program for a month to raise funds and contribute
00:17:07to missionaries of charity for social welfare.
00:17:11What have you written?
00:17:13First of all, you have written what you propose to do.
00:17:16So, you are repeating that.
00:17:18We propose to organize a newspaper collection program.
00:17:23You have got that in the question paper.
00:17:25Now, comes your thinking.
00:17:27Why do you want to do it?
00:17:29Your immediate reason for doing it.
00:17:32Why do you want to do it?
00:17:33You want to do it for raising funds.
00:17:36What are you going to do with the newspapers?
00:17:38So, you are raising funds.
00:17:40And what are you going to do with the funds?
00:17:42You are going to donate it to an organization for social welfare.
00:17:48So, you see, your introduction actually has your program and the reasons for having that program.
00:17:56Two reasons, remember students.
00:17:58But be careful what you are writing.
00:18:01You are writing the immediate reasons for the program.
00:18:04You see, it is as simple as that.
00:18:05Now, suppose you write newspaper collection program to collect newspapers.
00:18:15That is not what you are supposed to write.
00:18:19Because you have already written it as a newspaper collection program.
00:18:22So, it is understood it is to collect newspaper.
00:18:25But what are you going to do with the newspaper is important.
00:18:28You are going to raise funds out of it.
00:18:30That is an immediate thing that you have thought about.
00:18:32And why do you raise the funds?
00:18:34You raise the funds so that you can donate for social purpose.
00:18:37So, that is your reason for collecting the newspaper.
00:18:40So, that is your introduction.
00:18:42In the introduction, you write your proposal.
00:18:44And you also give the two immediate reasons or the two proper reasons for doing that thing.
00:18:52So, that it helps you in some way.
00:18:54That is what you have thought about.
00:18:55Your objective actually is that.
00:18:57Then you come to the next step.
00:18:58You see, you remember those three red subheadings that I had showed you earlier.
00:19:03First is done now.
00:19:05Introduction.
00:19:05Okay.
00:19:06Now, we come to the next point.
00:19:09What is the next point?
00:19:10Statement of objective.
00:19:12Okay.
00:19:13Now, what is the statement of objective?
00:19:15What do you write here?
00:19:18Statement of objective.
00:19:20In the statement of objective, you have to write the broader reasons.
00:19:24You know, the sublime reasons.
00:19:27Why do you want to start this program at school?
00:19:30Why do you want to collect the funds in this manner?
00:19:33And why do you want to donate it to an organization?
00:19:35Because you have something bigger in mind.
00:19:39You want to inculcate certain habits in the student.
00:19:42You want to do something good.
00:19:44You want to teach something to the students.
00:19:46As a senior student, you have to do this.
00:19:49So, what are you planning?
00:19:51You write that.
00:19:52This program will help students to learn to contribute to social purpose.
00:19:58So, you see, just by bringing newspapers to school, they are learning to contribute for social purpose.
00:20:04And it will also inculcate habits of kindness among the students.
00:20:10These are the two sublime or the broader perspectives of it.
00:20:15You can also write, students will learn to save things for donating for bigger reasons or bigger purpose or for
00:20:23social purpose.
00:20:24Anything of that sort.
00:20:26So, that is more sublime reason.
00:20:27So, the objective that you are driving at.
00:20:30That means, what you want to achieve through this program.
00:20:34You have planned a program.
00:20:35You have reasons for doing it.
00:20:37Now, what do you want to achieve through that program?
00:20:40Just simply conducting the program is not enough.
00:20:42So, these are the objectives.
00:20:44So, you write the statement of objectives.
00:20:46Again, you write two such reasons in the statement of objectives.
00:20:52Why you want to go about with that program.
00:20:54So, the program actually is defined here.
00:20:57Your program, why you want to do it.
00:21:00What are the purpose that you want to achieve through it.
00:21:04Okay.
00:21:04So, that is the statement of purpose.
00:21:06So, the first two points are covered for proposal writing.
00:21:11Now, we come to the list of measures.
00:21:15You see the subheading, list of measures.
00:21:19What are measures?
00:21:21Measures means certain steps that you take so that your program becomes successful.
00:21:29So, you thought about a program.
00:21:31You are the senior student of the school.
00:21:33You are given a responsibility.
00:21:35You have thought about some kind of measures.
00:21:37How to go about with the program so the program becomes successful.
00:21:40Ma'am, I am interrupting for a second.
00:21:43There is a student on the phone.
00:21:46Onuma is calling from Patna.
00:21:47Hi, Onuma.
00:21:50Sorry, the call is disconnected.
00:21:52Ma'am, please carry on.
00:21:53Yes.
00:21:54So, I was talking about list of measures.
00:21:57It is given there in the title, list of measures.
00:22:00You enlist the points.
00:22:03Step by step.
00:22:04How you will go about with the program.
00:22:07So, what do you do for a newspaper collection program?
00:22:10The first thing, students will be told to bring newspapers to school.
00:22:16Simple thing.
00:22:17You see, it can easily come to your mind.
00:22:20Students will bring old newspapers to school.
00:22:24So, students are bringing the newspapers.
00:22:25The first step.
00:22:26What will be the next step?
00:22:27The students have brought the newspaper.
00:22:29Now, what?
00:22:30Somebody needs to collect the newspapers.
00:22:33Who is going to collect it?
00:22:35The house captains will be responsible for collecting the same from the students.
00:22:39So, you see, now you are delegating the job.
00:22:42You have involved a team.
00:22:43So, the house captains are looking into the matter.
00:22:46So, they are going to collect the newspapers from the students.
00:22:50All right?
00:22:51So, they are collecting the newspapers from the students and your next step is done.
00:22:55Now, what to do with that collection?
00:22:58You think, you have collected the newspapers.
00:23:01Where do you keep them?
00:23:02You have to store the newspapers somewhere.
00:23:05So, you have thought about something.
00:23:07What did you think about?
00:23:08The anti-chamber of the library may be used for storage of the newspapers.
00:23:16Now, look at the language.
00:23:19The anti-chamber of the library may be used.
00:23:24I'll tell you to emphasize on this point.
00:23:27May be used, you see.
00:23:29Why am I using the word may?
00:23:32You are asking for permission from the school authority to go about with your program.
00:23:38But, utilize the school premises.
00:23:40Now, who is going to grant you that permission to keep the newspapers and the anti-chamber of the library?
00:23:46The school authority.
00:23:47So, you can give a suggestion.
00:23:49So, you write may be used.
00:23:50That's a suggestion.
00:23:51All right?
00:23:52The school authority may accept that suggestion.
00:23:55May suggest something better.
00:23:56But, if you write, can be used.
00:23:59You know?
00:23:59That is a little rude.
00:24:01So, you have to know what kind of language to be used when you are writing such a thing.
00:24:06As a student, you must know how to present something.
00:24:10Like, you know, sometimes you say, ma'am, can I go to the washroom?
00:24:15Whether you can go to the washroom or not depends on you.
00:24:18But, you are asking for permission.
00:24:19So, what should you say?
00:24:20Ma'am, may I go to the washroom?
00:24:22It's like that.
00:24:23So, may be used to store the newspapers.
00:24:26Ma'am, may I interrupt you, please?
00:24:29Sure.
00:24:29There is a phone call for us.
00:24:31Priyanshuk Deh is calling from Kolkata.
00:24:33Yeah, Priyanshuk.
00:24:34Tell me your question.
00:24:36Ma'am, I want to know about report writing of class 11.
00:24:41Okay.
00:24:42Yes, Priyanshuk.
00:24:43You just continue to follow.
00:24:45You try to follow our program and we will discuss it afterwards, ma'am.
00:24:49Sure.
00:24:49I will be coming to report writing, Priyanshuk.
00:24:51I will be discussing report writing for sure.
00:24:54All right.
00:24:55So, now I am done with the third step.
00:24:59So, you have planned to store the newspapers somewhere.
00:25:02Now, what is to be done?
00:25:03The newspapers are collected.
00:25:04The newspapers are stored.
00:25:06Now, the newspapers need to be sold.
00:25:08So, that is your next step.
00:25:10The newspapers may be sold at the end of the month.
00:25:13The collection may be sold at the end of the month.
00:25:16So, that is your next plan.
00:25:18Now, the newspapers are sold.
00:25:20What has come to your hands?
00:25:23Funds.
00:25:23You have already decided on what to do with the funds.
00:25:26So, the funds to be donated to the missionaries of charity.
00:25:30That is your next step.
00:25:32All right.
00:25:33So, you are planning the next step.
00:25:35Once the funds are collected, the funds may be submitted to the missionaries of charity for welfare purpose.
00:25:40You can think something more.
00:25:43You can say food materials to be brought for the missionaries of charity with that fund.
00:25:49Even that you can write.
00:25:51Now, you are the president of the student council.
00:25:54You have organized a program.
00:25:56You have delegated your job.
00:25:58Fine.
00:25:59But sometimes you need the supervision of a teacher.
00:26:03If the teacher is there, you know the program will be conducted well because everybody is going to listen to
00:26:08that teacher.
00:26:09All right.
00:26:10So, what do you do?
00:26:11And sometimes, you know, you love to involve teachers into your activities so that the teacher also appreciates what you
00:26:16have done.
00:26:16So, now you are giving another suggestion.
00:26:20The whole program may be supervised by our SAPW teacher.
00:26:25And you name your SAPW teacher.
00:26:26Again, may be supervised.
00:26:28You are requesting your SAPW teacher to supervise that program.
00:26:32It is your program.
00:26:33And you are requesting your SAPW teacher to supervise the program.
00:26:37You see, your list of measures are done.
00:26:40Simple thing.
00:26:40What have you done?
00:26:41You have thought about a plan.
00:26:42Now, when you think about a plan, you definitely have a plan how to go about.
00:26:47So, you decided on that.
00:26:48And you have jotted down the steps.
00:26:50And your proposal is done.
00:26:52Now, what do you want?
00:26:54You want your proposal to be accepted.
00:26:56So, you just end up with that one simple sentence.
00:26:59Hope our proposal will be accepted.
00:27:02And you put your signature.
00:27:04Since you are making a proposal, you also put your signature.
00:27:07In this case, because you are the president of the student council,
00:27:11So, you put your designation.
00:27:13Neetu Kulkarni.
00:27:14President.
00:27:16Students council.
00:27:17And your proposal is done.
00:27:19Ten marks are for you.
00:27:20You see?
00:27:21That is so easy.
00:27:24This is a new thing in your syllabus.
00:27:26You have to know how to attempt it.
00:27:28And once you attempt it, you can do it well.
00:27:32Word of caution is, this is a compulsory question.
00:27:34There is no choice.
00:27:35So, whatever situation is given to you, you should be thinking about it, planning it, and then writing it.
00:27:42So, you see, during this time when you are at home, you can think about all kinds of programs that
00:27:48you can organize at school.
00:27:50Plan out a proposal.
00:27:52Write about the statement of objectives.
00:27:55Think about the introduction to that program.
00:27:57And write the list of measures.
00:27:59Once you practice in this way, you see, when you join school, then when the proposal writing comes to you
00:28:07as a class assignment, you can easily attempt it.
00:28:11Because you are prepared.
00:28:12You know what it is.
00:28:14That is proposal writing.
00:28:16It's very simple.
00:28:18Nothing to worry about it.
00:28:20Only thing is that you have to know what to write.
00:28:22Because if you miss out any step, then you may lose out on mark.
00:28:26If you write one reason instead of writing two, you may write it in two sentences, in the introduction, in
00:28:33statement of objective, or you may write it in one sentence, including those two points.
00:28:38But the two points are necessary.
00:28:39You have to have two points.
00:28:41So, these things you have to practice.
00:28:43Once you practice, it will be so easy with you.
00:28:46You will know what to do when you get a proposal.
00:28:48And you will just list down the measures.
00:28:50So, we are done with proposal writing.
00:28:53Okay, ma'am, there is another call for us.
00:28:55May we take this?
00:28:56Ritik Basu is calling from Rao Kela.
00:28:58Kia, Ritik.
00:28:59Good morning, ma'am.
00:29:00Good morning.
00:29:01Good afternoon.
00:29:03Ma'am, I will doubt that why did you get here?
00:29:08Now, you see, there are ten marks for proposal writing.
00:29:11Ten marks allotted to you, Ritik.
00:29:13Now, when you attempt the question, there are three subdivisions which you have to write.
00:29:19And there are other things besides.
00:29:21So, naturally, the mark will be divided between the points that you include and the expression part.
00:29:26Because it is an English language paper, so definitely we are going to see the language part, the way you
00:29:32handle the language.
00:29:33As I said, if you write can instead of may, maybe half a mark will be deducted.
00:29:37But that is how the mark division is decided.
00:29:42Different points will have different kinds of mark allotment.
00:29:46And finally, we will also judge you, judge your writing by the kind of language that you are using.
00:29:53So, a major portion of the mark will be on the content, the matter.
00:29:56But some portion of the mark, out of those ten marks, will be kept aside for your linguistic expressions.
00:30:02If you make any errors, marks will be deducted.
00:30:04No error, the whole marks for expression are yours.
00:30:07In this case, we will discuss it further after break.
00:30:10And it is now time to take a short break.
00:30:12And after that, along with the proposal writing, we will discuss about the report writing also.
00:30:18Shomak Taviruti, Phiraj Bok.
00:30:19Shomak Taviruti, Phiraj Bok.
00:35:35Good afternoon, Kinjal. Can you hear us?
00:35:38Yes, ma'am. I can hear.
00:35:40Yes, Kinjal.
00:35:41Your question.
00:35:42Ma'am, I have a question that you have told us to write a signature at the end of the
00:35:46proposal.
00:35:47Definitely.
00:35:47But I cannot find the signature column specified in the council's format that has been specified by the council's proposal
00:35:55writing format.
00:35:57So, is it necessary to write the signature?
00:36:00And if it is so, what is the mark specified for the signature writing?
00:36:04Thank you, Kinjal, for the question.
00:36:06Now, why are we teaching you these things? Report writing, proposal writing.
00:36:10These are all taught to you so that in near future you can utilize them.
00:36:15You know, when you leave school, you are on the threshold of leaving school, classes 11 and 12.
00:36:19So, when you leave school, you have to plan out a proposal.
00:36:23You have to write out a report.
00:36:24So, you should know how to write a complete thing.
00:36:27Who are you writing a proposal?
00:36:29So, you must put a signature.
00:36:31That is the kind of a look.
00:36:32Like there is no mark for the heading that you give.
00:36:35But that gives a sense of completion.
00:36:38So, you have to know how to attempt an answer and how to write that correctly.
00:36:42So, you put a signature.
00:36:44And the specimen, you yourself mentioned Kinjal.
00:36:47That is a specimen given in the council website.
00:36:50So, that is for you to know how to go about writing a proposal.
00:36:53But when you write, it is your own writing, you end up with a signature.
00:36:58Okay?
00:36:58And then you give your designation.
00:37:00Now, again as I told you before, that the mark allotment will definitely be divided between the matter part.
00:37:07Matter is what you write in the points and in the expression.
00:37:12So, this may be included in the expression part.
00:37:15Alright?
00:37:16So, you need to put a signature to give it a sense of completion.
00:37:20I hope Kinjal, you are answered.
00:37:22Yes, ma'am.
00:37:23There is another student with us.
00:37:24Hello.
00:37:25Who are you?
00:37:26Please introduce yourself and your question.
00:37:28Hello, ma'am.
00:37:29I am Sukita from Tamil Nadu.
00:37:31Okay.
00:37:31Yes.
00:37:32I have a question regarding the report writing, ma'am.
00:37:36Should we write it down in paragraph or just list it separately?
00:37:40Thank you for the question.
00:37:41I will be doing report writing.
00:37:43I know that is the compulsory section of the paper.
00:37:45So, I will be doing report writing.
00:37:47I need proposal writing first because that is the newest segment in the question paper.
00:37:51I am coming to proposal writing.
00:37:53Keep watching and you will get your answers.
00:37:56Alright?
00:37:57Yeah.
00:37:58Yes.
00:37:58Now, I deal with question number 2A.
00:38:03Directive writing.
00:38:04Question number 2A is called directed writing.
00:38:07Directed writing.
00:38:11It is also called an exercise on amplification.
00:38:19It is also called a composition based on points.
00:38:24I am writing all the three names for you.
00:38:29So, that you can understand what you need to do for this exercise.
00:38:35It is directed writing because direction is given to you.
00:38:39If you go through any question paper, you will see there is a situation given to you for this question.
00:38:45Then, what you need to do?
00:38:46Well, certain points are given in the question which you need to amplify.
00:38:51So, it is directed writing.
00:38:53You are given the direction.
00:38:53What you have to write.
00:38:55How you have to write.
00:38:56You have to amplify the given points.
00:38:58And then, it is also called a composition based on points.
00:39:02Because, you are writing is just like a composition.
00:39:05But, you have to include the points that are given.
00:39:08So, it is a composition based on points.
00:39:10So, I hope I have answered the last question that was asked to me.
00:39:13Will it be written in paragraphs?
00:39:15Of course, if you are writing a composition, you need to use paragraphs.
00:39:18So, that must be written in paragraphs.
00:39:20Two or three paragraphs.
00:39:22Ideal for writing a report.
00:39:24So, that is the kind of question that you get for question number 2A.
00:39:28There are various kinds of directed writing.
00:39:31I will be discussing it if I have time at the end of the program.
00:39:34In detail about all those things.
00:39:36Today, I will be discussing on report writing.
00:39:39The easiest, the simplest, which you need to write for classes 11, 12, both the classes.
00:39:45And how it will help the students.
00:39:47Definitely.
00:39:48Now, how will report writing help the students?
00:39:51Again, when they leave the school, they go out.
00:39:54They need to write a report on so many things.
00:39:57You know, when they are walking somewhere.
00:39:59When they are in college, they have to report something.
00:40:01So, they should know how to report an incident.
00:40:04Report a thing.
00:40:05And they must know the kind of language they should use.
00:40:08And what are the informations they need to put in a report.
00:40:11So, that is why they are taught report writing.
00:40:13So, report writing definitely will help them in good state.
00:40:16Then, beyond the school gates also.
00:40:18So, that is why we teach them report writing.
00:40:20And how do we help them learn it easy?
00:40:24The question paper gives them certain points.
00:40:26How to go about with the report.
00:40:28Now, I have a sample question.
00:40:30Say, write a report titled
00:40:51Midnight Fire Destroys Market.
00:40:59That is the first point given to you.
00:41:02Kind of market.
00:41:04Approximate number of shops.
00:41:06Shops affected.
00:41:08Loss of life and property.
00:41:10Rescue operation.
00:41:13Eyewitness account.
00:41:14And probe.
00:41:15Now, this is your question paper.
00:41:18So, you have got your points.
00:41:19And you know what is to be written.
00:41:22The question mentions, write a report titled.
00:41:25You are given the hint.
00:41:27So, you give the title.
00:41:28Midnight Fire Destroys Market.
00:41:30The job is done for you.
00:41:32It is easy.
00:41:33Sometimes, the question paper may also say,
00:41:35write a report on a fire at a marketplace.
00:41:38But you know what you need to do.
00:41:40When you are writing a report,
00:41:41you need to give a title first.
00:41:44The heading.
00:41:44Ma'am, if you give me permission,
00:41:46I can take another call.
00:41:47Sure.
00:41:48Students from Madhya Pradesh.
00:41:49Snehal Singh is on.
00:41:53The call is disconnected.
00:41:55I'm sorry.
00:41:56Ma'am, please.
00:41:59So, what do you need to write first on a report?
00:42:02You need to write a headline.
00:42:13You are reading the newspapers.
00:42:15You get newspapers every day.
00:42:17Now, that is another thing you can do during this time.
00:42:19Those of you, you are not into the habit of reading the newspaper.
00:42:22You can always read a newspaper now.
00:42:24You have the e-newspapers.
00:42:26You can go through them.
00:42:26And you will find every news begins with a headline.
00:42:29So, that is the first thing.
00:42:30You need to give a headline.
00:42:31Now, for this particular question,
00:42:33the headline is given.
00:42:34Midnight Fire Destroys Market.
00:42:36So, you have your headline.
00:42:37And you put it as a headline.
00:42:39Then, what do you have?
00:42:40You have a byline.
00:42:43Now, what is this byline?
00:42:45Byline is, who is writing the report?
00:42:48Again, you see, the importance of your identity, the signature.
00:42:53So, what do you write for report?
00:42:54You write, Midnight Fire, whatever is the heading given to you.
00:42:59And then, you write by a staff reporter.
00:43:05This is the format of a report.
00:43:07So, you need to write that.
00:43:09So, that is the byline.
00:43:11So, that is the next point.
00:43:12The byline.
00:43:13So, the first point, the next point.
00:43:16Byline.
00:43:16And then, you need to have a date line.
00:43:21The third important thing for a report.
00:43:23If you are following newspapers, you know what is written at the beginning of every news,
00:43:27every important news.
00:43:28You have the place written.
00:43:29I am from Kolkata.
00:43:31I will write Kolkata.
00:43:32Kolkata.
00:43:34I will write.
00:43:35You write today's date.
00:43:37April 25.
00:43:39Give a comma.
00:43:402020.
00:43:42Now, of course, in the newspaper, this 2020 is not given because this date is already given
00:43:47on top of the newspaper itself.
00:43:49But when you are writing just a report, you give the full date.
00:43:52You have learned how to write date in class 10.
00:43:55So, you write this.
00:43:56You put a colon.
00:43:58And you begin your report right from here.
00:44:01Right beside that.
00:44:01And you come back here.
00:44:03So, this is how you are continuing your report.
00:44:06And you complete one paragraph.
00:44:08Then you go to the next paragraph again from here.
00:44:10And you continue the next paragraph.
00:44:13Now, can we take another call?
00:44:14Yes, sure.
00:44:15Bhargavi Mehta is calling from Orissa.
00:44:17Hello, Bhargavi.
00:44:19Yeah, good afternoon, ma'am.
00:44:20Good afternoon.
00:44:21I would like to ask some technical questions.
00:44:24Like, where am I supposed to put the signature?
00:44:26For which question?
00:44:28For which question?
00:44:29Regarding the proposal writing.
00:44:30For proposal writing.
00:44:31Put it on the right-hand side.
00:44:33So, just like you have done for the open letter format.
00:44:36Okay.
00:44:37Okay, on the right-hand side.
00:44:40Yes.
00:44:40Am I supposed to leave lines in between or write it as a straight one?
00:44:44If you leave lines in between, you give a neater picture to your paper, to your answer.
00:44:49So, you can always leave a line in between.
00:44:52And then you underline it.
00:44:53Okay, ma'am.
00:44:54Am I supposed to underline that introduction and statement of purpose?
00:44:57Again, if you do that, you are very clear.
00:44:59You are drawing the attention of the examiner that you have included all the sub-points,
00:45:03the sub-headings.
00:45:03So, you can always do that.
00:45:05Just with the pen.
00:45:06No need to change your pen into a pencil.
00:45:09Only with the pen you can do that.
00:45:11Ma'am, the statement of objective and introduction paragraph five or point five?
00:45:16It's two sentences.
00:45:18If you have followed the specimen that I have shown you, it's two sentences.
00:45:22So, when you are writing two sentences, that's a paragraph in itself.
00:45:26All right?
00:45:27Okay.
00:45:27Thank you, Bhakri, for calling us.
00:45:30Yes, ma'am.
00:45:30Okay.
00:45:31So, now you are writing the report like this.
00:45:34Now, what do you write in the first sentence?
00:45:38I said it's a composition based on points.
00:45:40So, often you wonder when you are beginning with question one, composition, how to write
00:45:45a composition, how to begin the composition.
00:45:47You often ask your teacher how to begin.
00:45:49Report writing, because it's composition based on points, directed writing, it's given
00:45:54to you.
00:45:54You have to write the most important thing when you are writing a report.
00:45:59When you are reading a report, first thing, as a reader, if you are reading a report,
00:46:03what do you want to know?
00:46:04What has happened?
00:46:06Where has it happened?
00:46:07When did it happen?
00:46:08And those three things are given in the question paper itself.
00:46:12So, what has happened?
00:46:13A devastating fire wrecked a walk or destroyed the lockdown market at Mayor Road at around
00:46:2212.30 a.m. last night.
00:46:26Means the necessary WH questions, ma'am.
00:46:29Definitely.
00:46:30So, when you are writing that, you see, if you write last night, because your date is
00:46:3325th April, so people will understand.
00:46:36Or else, you may also write, destroyed the lockdown market on 24th April night.
00:46:43That also you can write.
00:46:44That's, you are including the first point, date.
00:46:47At what time?
00:46:48At around 12.30 a.m.
00:46:50Nobody can be very exact about the time.
00:46:53You see, because people have seen the smoke, the fire, and then they realize there is a
00:46:56fire.
00:46:57So, when did the fire start exactly?
00:46:58People don't know.
00:46:59So, at around, you see, this is the language.
00:47:02This is the formal language you need to use and the precise language.
00:47:05So, you give an idea and a credible idea.
00:47:08So, people can believe what you are writing.
00:47:10All right?
00:47:11So, you write that.
00:47:12So, that is your first sentence done.
00:47:15Then, kind of market that is given in the question.
00:47:18What kind of a market it was?
00:47:20So, what kind of a market is it?
00:47:22You can write.
00:47:22The market is famous for its garment stores.
00:47:25The market had about 250 shops in it, out of which, about 150 are totally destroyed.
00:47:37250, write the complete thing.
00:47:40Students, it is an English language paper.
00:47:42So, write in detail.
00:47:43250 shops.
00:47:45The market housed about 250 shops, most of which were garment stores.
00:47:51So, you are including those points.
00:47:53So, you see, that is your first paragraph.
00:47:56Now, you go into the details and you go into the second paragraph.
00:48:00All right?
00:48:01The kind of loss of life and property.
00:48:05The fire has just taken place.
00:48:07All right?
00:48:08So, what do you write?
00:48:09It is estimated, since last reports came in, that the loss of property was huge.
00:48:16It may amount to quite a few...
00:48:22...acts.
00:48:23It's a report.
00:48:24You are just reporting it.
00:48:26So, you don't have the correct estimate.
00:48:27So, it is estimated.
00:48:28There is a fair estimate.
00:48:30Okay?
00:48:30So, you write that.
00:48:32And then, when you are writing a report of any incident, this is an essential point.
00:48:37Eye witness account.
00:48:38Somebody has seen something happening.
00:48:40So, you see, it can be the neighbor.
00:48:41It can be the night guard.
00:48:44So, you quote what the man has said.
00:48:46All right?
00:48:47So, you write the name of a person.
00:48:50Mr. Anut Sina, comma, a neighbor residing close by said,
00:48:56I was about to go for sleep when suddenly I noticed smoke through the window of my room.
00:49:03I rushed out into the balcony and I saw flames of fire coming out from the market and I raised
00:49:10a cry.
00:49:11Close the quotes.
00:49:12So, that is what he has seen.
00:49:13So, I am including another point.
00:49:15Eye witness account.
00:49:18Loss of life is another point.
00:49:20If you are a little benevolent, kind-hearted, right?
00:49:23Since it was night time, there was no loss of life.
00:49:28However, certain flower sellers, shops were there at the rear of the market, were trapped in the fire.
00:49:35You see why you are writing this?
00:49:37Because you are trying to bring in the next point, rescue operation.
00:49:41These people were saved with the efforts of the local people before the fire brigade came in.
00:49:48It took about 20 minutes for the fire brigade to come in.
00:49:51Now, what is this fire brigade point?
00:49:54You have already written about rescue operation.
00:49:56But the fire brigade needs to come because it is a fire.
00:49:59So, that is an additional point.
00:50:01You can also wait till the fire brigade comes and write fire brigade people came and started the rescue operation.
00:50:07But by that time, it will be quite late.
00:50:09So, then we have to report about loss of life.
00:50:12So, this is how you go about.
00:50:14You see your next paragraph.
00:50:16And finally, you end.
00:50:17Government ordered a probe to the whole incident.
00:50:22You may also add,
00:50:23The government announced a kind of compensation for the shop owners so that they can restart their business.
00:50:32Now, this point, you see, the government has planned to give some kind of help to them.
00:50:38This is not included in the question.
00:50:41You may include it because that is an integral part of a report on fire.
00:50:45You may include that.
00:50:46But in doing so, if you are leaving out a point, say probe, then you are losing out on the
00:50:52mark allotted for that point.
00:50:54Probe.
00:50:55Remember, students, whatever is given in the question paper carries marks.
00:51:00Ma'am, here I would like to ask you something.
00:51:03The points you are telling that whatever is mentioned in the question, all of the points should be covered by
00:51:11the student.
00:51:11Mastering the answer.
00:51:12Yes.
00:51:13Is there any compulsion that the students have to write the entire answer accordingly or sequentially?
00:51:20The sequence of the points, no.
00:51:22They can group down the points.
00:51:24They can include the points in any order.
00:51:26But there should be some kind of a justification.
00:51:29You see, because report writing is a formal writing.
00:51:32The language is formal.
00:51:33So, one should follow the other.
00:51:35Suppose they begin with a casualty.
00:51:37And then they come down that there was a fire in the market.
00:51:40That is not a good report.
00:51:41That is a half-asset report.
00:51:42So, they are writing in formal language, precise.
00:51:44You see, students, the question paper will have the number of words mentioned for every question.
00:51:50Question number one, question number two.
00:51:52Question number two, the number of words are lesser because you have to know how to write in a precise
00:51:56manner.
00:51:57That means the language should be formal.
00:52:00So, you should know which kind of language, which words to bring in, how to write, a concise thing,
00:52:07so that your report writing looks neat.
00:52:09Nobody wants to know about your emotion here.
00:52:11People are reading a report to get the information.
00:52:14So, you give them the information.
00:52:15Ma'am, regarding this topic, we have another student on phone.
00:52:20Kunal Das is calling from South Shavish for Kunal.
00:52:23Yes, Kunal.
00:52:24Ma'am, I want to ask that is any flashy word near to be in the paragraph?
00:52:32Flashy word means...
00:52:34All right, Kunal.
00:52:35I know.
00:52:36The term Kunal has used as flashy words.
00:52:39Some people say flowery words.
00:52:41Some people say proverbs to be used.
00:52:45Okay.
00:52:45This is an English language paper.
00:52:48What the teachers are looking for there is your correct usage of English.
00:52:52You have to write correct English.
00:52:54You see?
00:52:55So, that is why the question with which the program began, how can you utilize this time?
00:53:00The more you read students, the more you will know how to write correct English.
00:53:05That's all we need from you.
00:53:06If you know how to use correct words, you don't need to use, you know, all on a sudden,
00:53:11an exorbitant English word which does not go with your language otherwise.
00:53:15So, you just write correct English.
00:53:16So, when you are writing a report, if you use short sentences with the correct English
00:53:22words and correct grammar usage, you get your marks.
00:53:25But if you write all on a sudden a word that does not suit, you know, people were overwhelmed
00:53:32with tears when they saw the fire.
00:53:34Now, that's not a language to be used for a report writing.
00:53:37The neighbors were overwhelmed with tears.
00:53:39They were hue and cry for the fire.
00:53:41Okay.
00:53:42But overwhelmed with tears.
00:53:43No.
00:53:43All these emotional words can go into your composition writing.
00:53:47Not for report writing.
00:53:48Report writing is precise to the point.
00:53:50People want to know what has happened, where and when, and what are the effects of it.
00:53:54There is another question for us, ma'am.
00:53:56Orkith Chaudhuri is calling.
00:53:58Yeah.
00:53:58Orkith, hello.
00:53:59Good afternoon.
00:54:00Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:54:01I have a question that in report writing, we have to mention the cause of the fire.
00:54:07The probe is ordered because there is a probe given.
00:54:10You can always add a probability.
00:54:11Probability, like it may be the result of a short circuit somewhere, or maybe an accident
00:54:16from a splinter from a shop.
00:54:18That is the probability.
00:54:20If the point is given in the question, cause of fire, all right, then you may include this
00:54:27as a point.
00:54:27But here, the point is given probe.
00:54:30Probe means an investigation.
00:54:31So, how do you know the cause of fire before the investigation is done?
00:54:35So, you can write probe.
00:54:37The fire may have been caused.
00:54:39You can always give a probability for that when you are writing this report, this particular
00:54:44report that I am talking about.
00:54:45Because it is an immediate thing.
00:54:47All right?
00:54:48So, the cause of fire you may include as a point for the report.
00:54:51Okay.
00:54:52All right?
00:54:53Now, that is how you finish off a report writing.
00:54:56Two paragraphs, three paragraphs, write down the points.
00:54:59Now, to ensure that you have included all the points, the moment you finish writing each
00:55:04point, put a small tick on your question paper for that point.
00:55:08So, you know that you have not missed out any point.
00:55:10Because maybe you have the rough idea that you have included a point and you might have
00:55:14missed out.
00:55:14So, put a tick.
00:55:16That is the kind of habit you can always, you know, take into so that you don't miss out
00:55:21any point.
00:55:22So, that is how you do a report writing.
00:55:24One part of question number 2A, one kind of question number 2A, report writing.
00:55:30There are various other kinds to report writing.
00:55:39So, question number 2A, you may get, as I showed you, a report.
00:55:45That is a newspaper report.
00:55:49You may also get something called a feature article.
00:55:53You know, you write an article for your magazine, for your school magazine.
00:56:00Okay?
00:56:01Or you may be told to write an article about a tourist place that you have visited for
00:56:06some magazine.
00:56:07Alright?
00:56:08That is a kind of a feature article.
00:56:10Again, the points will be given to you.
00:56:11You just have to elaborate on the points.
00:56:13That's a feature article.
00:56:14You also have a speech writing.
00:56:17You know what is a speech?
00:56:19On various occasions, you hear people delivering speeches.
00:56:24You also sometimes deliver a speech on your own.
00:56:27If you are the head boy of the class, sorry, the head boy of the school, the prefect of your
00:56:31class, your house captain.
00:56:33Then you have to write a speech.
00:56:34Sometimes you should know how to write a speech.
00:56:37Even for the speech writing, you will be given the points.
00:56:40The occasion, kinds of things you have to include in the speech.
00:56:44Suppose as the head boy of the school, you are delivering the speech for the farewell function.
00:56:50What do you have to include?
00:56:51The points will be given to you.
00:56:52Your years spent in school, your experience at school, message to the junior students.
00:56:57All these points will be given to you.
00:57:00And on that, you elaborate.
00:57:02Must include in speech writing is the salutation.
00:57:07You see, you have to wish them first.
00:57:09Good morning, good afternoon, that you have to wish.
00:57:11Then we also have review.
00:57:15Review of book that you have read.
00:57:22Review of film that you have watched.
00:57:26Or review of a cultural program that you have watched.
00:57:33You see, these are the various kinds.
00:57:36Also, you have personal profiling.
00:57:46Now, review of a book, a film or a cultural program.
00:57:50What is a review?
00:57:53Sometimes, if you are habituated in reading a newspaper, then you must have come across a kind of film review
00:57:59or book review.
00:58:01It is, you judge the book.
00:58:04You know, you have read a book or you have watched a film.
00:58:07What kind of a movie it is?
00:58:09What kind of a book it is?
00:58:10Yes, and then you talk about the movie.
00:58:14Why are you writing this review?
00:58:15You are writing this review so that other people may go and watch.
00:58:18So, you see, when you write the review of a book, you don't really give the whole story of the
00:58:22book.
00:58:23But you write about it.
00:58:24There is some interesting...
00:58:35My first question is that, what should be the page limit in report writing and also in proposal writing?
00:58:43Page limit.
00:58:44Right.
00:58:45I have told you there is a...
00:58:47Yes, there is a second.
00:58:48My second question is that, when you report writing, what is so mean, headline by line, do we have to
00:58:55write it in the middle or in the left or in the right?
00:58:58Is there any position given for that writing?
00:59:02Okay.
00:59:03I am going to answer that.
00:59:04Headline.
00:59:05When do you write the headline?
00:59:06You write it in the middle of the page.
00:59:09That is your headline.
00:59:13Then, when you write the byline, you write it from here.
00:59:16You know, slightly away from the beginning of the headline.
00:59:21So, you come to the middle of the headline and you write the byline.
00:59:24And dateline, as I told you, if this is your page, I will show you.
00:59:31This is the page that you are writing in.
00:59:33So, this is your headline.
00:59:35This is your byline.
00:59:37And from here, right from the margin, you start your dateline beginning with the place.
00:59:42Though it is called a dateline, but you write the place and then you give the dateline.
00:59:45Then you give the column.
00:59:46Then you start the sentence.
00:59:48And you come back here, right at the margin.
00:59:51So, that is your paragraphing format.
00:59:53So, this is your headline.
00:59:54This is your byline.
00:59:55And this is your dateline.
00:59:56That is done.
00:59:57Ma'am, now it is time to give some assignment on this work.
01:00:01All right.
01:00:01Now, as I told you, students, you may utilize this time for practicing a lot on this paper.
01:00:09I told you the guidelines.
01:00:11You may visit the council website.
01:00:13Go into the pupils' performance analysis.
01:00:16Go through the specimen question, the question for the previous years.
01:00:19Pick up a question from that.
01:00:21Solve it out.
01:00:22Go to the pupils' performance.
01:00:24And you can judge yourself what you are doing.
01:00:26Any exercise you can take up from the things that I have mentioned here.
01:00:30The Council for Indian School Certificate Examination has arranged for these classes so that you can utilize this time.
01:00:37Okay.
01:00:37You can utilize this time ideally.
01:00:41Okay.
01:00:42In an ideal manner, not in an idle manner.
01:00:46Not in this way, but in this way, remember.
01:00:49So, you utilize this time, students, so that you can improve on your language.
01:00:54The more you read, the more you write, you can think about anything and just write it out.
01:00:59You know, sometimes when you are too emotionally overwhelmed and you are writing out something, you go back to it
01:01:05after a week and you find surprised at yourself, you know, your own capability of writing.
01:01:10You can write wonderfully well when you are driven by the urge to write.
01:01:14So, write out things.
01:01:16Even these exercises, proposal writing, report.
01:01:20So, easy to score.
01:01:21So, you just write that.
01:01:23Practice with any kind of exercises that you can.
01:01:26You have your previous year's question paper.
01:01:28The more you practice, the more you can be prepared for any kind of question that may come.
01:01:33Because questions for the Council are very interesting.
01:01:37Points are given to you.
01:01:38They give you enough scope to imagine things, to think about ideas.
01:01:42So, you can always have a good practice with those things.
01:01:45Ma'am, thank you so much for such instructing you for having an elaborate discussion on proposal.
