<p>“Youth and the task ahead”, sounds horrendous!</p>

4202

<p>IT IS. Honestly, ghastly doesn’t even begin to cover it. </p>

<p><em>curses English</em></p>

4203

<p>It’s in English! :confused:</p>

<p>That’s even worse! (I’m grinning from ear to ear :smiley: Horrible aren’t I?)</p>

4204

<p>Yes, you are, and we all hate you. :stuck_out_tongue: Honestly, I don’t know why I switched to CBSE – the English portion is just painful.</p>

4205

<p>At any rate; we seem to have had this conversation many a time over the past few days… we honestly have to find something else to talk about!</p>

4206

<p>ahh I just love the annoying devil (except some of his ‘****’ jokes xD)</p>

<p>Youth and the Tasks ahead is this sermon-lecture about what we need to do to save India from… itself? Herself, I guess.</p>

<p>What India Can Teach Us is marginally better, but still sucks.</p>

<p>I like Machines and the Emotions (Bertrand Russell! <3), though my teacher said she hated it.</p>

<p>On Conduct in Company… is another… boring… lesson… </p>

<p>Ellipses!</p>

<p>I’m currently reading this:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/proftvs/Chp3_1.html[/url]”>http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/proftvs/Chp3_1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>It’s about “Lines Written In Early Spring”</p>

<p>very good.</p>

4209

<p>

</p>

<p>Sounds like something almost Victorian!</p>

<p>Just what do you study in English, I mean it just seems to be a tad wierd. For us we’ve got two papers, Lit and Lang, Lang’s got 2 essays, comprehension & grammar, Lit’s got 2 references and 3 critical analyses…</p>

4210

<p>watch this too…</p>

<p>It is Victorian. Letter from Lord Chesterfield to his son.</p>

<p>We study lessons, and write stuff.</p>

4212

<p>We just answer questions on the lessons, do unseen passages - answer questions, write an invitation / notice / advertisement and reports and letters and article.</p>

<p>We also get tested on how well we make notes about a passage. Yes, notes, Like 1, 1.1, 1.2</p>

4213

<p>:eek: (I’m beginning to like that emoticon), my sympathies; you can’t call that English!</p>

4214

<p>CBSE English is @$#@$#%@$%@$%$#@%$@%@$@%$@. Though I’m reading a chapter called The Other Side of The Hedge by E M Forster and there’s big reason why I LOVE it, ** it has been deleted from this year’s syllabus ** and I’ll have no satisfaction unless go through it thoroughly…</p>

4215

<p>For once, I agree with bas. That’s the only remotely interesting short story in the portion, and they had to go and delete it. <em>sigh</em></p>

4216

<p>Machines and Emotions is also good, though I’d have liked Bertrand Russell (being the mathematician he was) to be a bit more analytical… he sounds too judgemental at times…</p>

4217

<p>Daily Round-up: 103 posts! :)</p>

<p>Very much a spikes and troughs sort of a day. (I’m studying physics, don’t blame me :)</p>

<p>Oh and with the ticking of the clock in my time zone over to 12:01: Precisely a week left to go. :)</p>

4218

<p>I agree with bas on the The Other Side of the Hedge…</p>

<p>I get the first post of the day.</p>

<p>Wish me luck on English.</p>

4219

<p>Best of luck to all CBSEers! Let your creative juices flow! :)</p>

4220

<p>Best of Luck! (And judging by what I know of CBSE English, may your creative juices remain stifled! :))</p>
