CBSE Class 10 is a daunting time for most students as the fear of Board examinations increases and students scramble to make sure they are prepared to face the exams. English is one of those subjects where scoring marks is relatively easy if one puts in the effort and dedicates an appropriate amount of time to reading the lessons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Deleted Chapters\/Topics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As per CBSE, some chapters have been deleted in English Literature as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Hundred Dresses – I<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Hundred Dresses – II<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Animals<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The Hack Driver<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Section-Wise Tips to Remember:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Reading Comprehension:<\/b> Read the questions thoroughly before reading the passage in its entirety. Don\u2019t get nervous if the passage is long or carries difficult vocabulary. Skip irrelevant information as per questions asked and understand the thought flow to find the most appropriate answers. Read the options carefully in MCQs and eliminate the wrong answers based on evidence from the passage.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Writing:<\/b> Learn the formats of Letters properly and stick to formal tone and expression. Do not use a fancy, verbose writing style. Stick to a comprehensive, clear, and logical style of argumentation. For analytical paragraphs, use comparative phrases while preparing the report based on bar graphs, pie charts, etc. The conclusion of the report must be given in clear words, rather than using fancy quotes or idioms.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Grammar:<\/b> Practice Editing, Omission, and Gap-filling questions based on tenses, subject-verb agreement, prepositions, and other parts of speech. Do not worry about punctuation or spelling errors. Sentence Transformation questions based on Voice Change and direct and Indirect Speech must be carefully practiced in dialogue conversion and process writing format.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Literature:<\/b> Thorough revision of Literature chapters and poetry sections is a must. Read each line carefully to remember key details. Do not focus on merely remembering the summary of the chapters. Instead, do a line-by-line analysis of all implied idea-based questions that can be asked in the paper. Revise all the literary devices and figures of speech used in both prose and poetry sections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Understand the main idea of the questions well enough. Write short answers in a single paragraph and long answers in two to three paragraphs. The accuracy of writing should not be ignored while focusing on value points. Do not include lengthy summaries of the chapters unnecessarily while writing answers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Solve Mock Papers to Learn Time Management:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Practice mock papers to familiarise yourself with the updated paper pattern and learn time management. The sample papers give you a glimpse of a variety of questions that can be anticipated in the Pre-Boards & Board exams and thereby boost your readiness before the paper. Attempt the paper with a strategy that suits your paper attempting style. Always begin with questions you are most confident about to gain confidence. Once you have covered a major set of questions, proceed with the questions that take more reading time.<\/span><\/p>\n
