Are you looking to extensively prepare for English essays and precis papers for the CSS or PMS exams? Then, let’s join Sir Syed Kazim Ali to learn Advanced English grammar and communication skills to write your ideas and arguments coherently, make assertions and support them with relevant evidence to qualify for the CSS and PMS English essay and precis papers.
Extensive English Essay and Precis Course
Nearly 50,000 aspirants start preparing themselves each year for the CSS examination in Pakistan. However, except for the second and third-attempt aspirants, almost all aspirants who begin their preparation do not give English their due importance. Instead of learning English grammar functionally, from its basic to advanced level, and written communication skills with extensive and rigorous practice and evaluation, they start preparing for other subjects. As a result, although they quickly grasp their compulsory and optional subjects, they cannot address examiner questions from their perspectives, which is crucial to qualify for any paper. And this is why you always see aspirants unsatisfied and confused when attempting either a 20-marks question or essay and precis.
Whether it is CSS or PMS, English papers in both examinations are divided into essays and precis. To talk about the precis paper, aspirants think that learning grammar books and memorizing some error rules can help them qualify for this paper. So, they keep practising sentence corrections and grammar exercises from various books, which do not help them crack the paper in the examination. English, for sure, has dozens of cryptic grammatical rules, many of which the CSS PMS examiner does not test. But without any doubt, the CSS and PMS precis papers are not set out to test grammar rules; they, instead, are set up to check your clarity of the written expression and your language sense. So, as long as you do not learn the functionality of the parts of speech, sentence structuring, appropriate vocabulary usage, and English grammar from basic to advanced level, you cannot crack this paper.
Let’s consider the following sentences.
- Crossing the road, a motorbike almost struck me.
The sentence is wrong because it does not communicate the intended meaning to the examiner. The grammatical meaning of the sentence is that a motorbike was crossing the road. However, the intended meaning is that as I crossed the road, a motorbike almost struck me.
- Similar to a floppy disk, data is usually stored in the hard disk in sectors.
The sentence is wrong because it also does not communicate the intended meaning to the examiner. The grammatical meaning of the sentence is that the data is similar to a floppy disk. However, the intended meaning is that “Similar to a floppy disk, the hard drive stores data in sectors.”
What is an essay paper?
As far as an essay paper is concerned, qualifying for this paper requires you to have a good command of English written communication skills, and based on how rationally, analytically, and logically you write and transfer your viewpoints and ideas to the examiner. Contrary to the misconception propagated by some inept teachers and academies, from the essay’s outline and introductory paragraph to the critical analysis and conclusion, an examiner evaluates your articulation, grammar, structuring, vocabulary, viewpoints, attitude, and tone. Nevertheless, aspirants build an analytical approach by learning quality books and content alone; they don’t even practice and learn to give their thoughts words. As a result, despite having a great deal of knowledge regarding subjects, aspirants cannot satisfactorily transfer their ideas to the examiner. Thus, if you have better writing skills, analytical approaches, and knowledge, you can easily give your ideas a motion required to qualify for the paper. Undoubtedly, an English essay paper demands you to write your perspective on the selected topic rather than reproducing sentences and paragraphs you cram from the newspapers. It is a fact that even the most learned aspirants cannot understand the flow of coherent ideas and can make occasional errors – especially in essays and precis papers – and that is where Sir Syed Kazim Ali comes in. For years, he has been the best CSS and PMS English teacher in Pakistan, with the highest success rate of his students.
