Please follow the syllabus, SBTET model paper and weightage in everything related C16-101
In life, we have essentially two psychological modes that we are in most of the time: reactive and responsive. The reactive mode is the one that feels stressful. In it, we feel pressured and are quick to judge. We lose perspective and take things personally. We're annoyed, bothered, and frustrated. Needless to say, our judgment and decision making capacity is severely impaired when we are in a reactive state of mind. We make quick decisions that we often regret. We annoy other people and tend to bring out the worst in them. When an opportunity knocks, we are usually too overwhelmed or frustrated to see it. If we do see it, we're usually overly critical and negative.

Blue Prints
& Model Question papers
Note :
The Text book for I year English in C-16 curriculum ( Common to all Engineering
branches) is the same one that was used in C-14 Curriculum. However, it is
proposed to modify the Unit Test and End exam Question papers slightly by
giving due weightage to all the topics. A special emphasis is given to enrich
vocabulary of the students by introducing a Long Answer question. Students are
expected to learn as many words as they can from all the possible lessons and use
them in their expressions.
While setting question papers:
· It is highly desired
that the questions should be clear, specific without any ambiguity and should
not miss the focus from the objective.
· There should be no
repetition of the questions and should be adhered to the given weightage.
· If the topic or
objective is present in both Short and Long Answer questions as per weightage,
see that the way of asking questions and sub topics are different.
· The format of asking
Short answer questions may be filling in the blanks, giving substitute,
rewrite, convert, using expression related to a situation…etc. It could be a
short note if it is based on writing skill.
· Every question should
have the instructions that are precise and clear.
· The marks should be
allotted to the right words/phrases/expressions for the Short Answer questions.
· The marks for Long
Answer questions may be allotted for content, relevant expressions, grammatical
accuracy and skill of writing a Paragraph / Report/ Letter / Resume. ..etc
· Try to frame the
questions of different grades based on their difficulty level like easy,
moderate, difficult. Frame suitable questions for Short/Long answer questions
based on the scope, length, number of sub points of that answer.
· Guide lines/A blue
print is given for framing each Unit Test and End exam Question paper to
maintain accuracy and uniformity.

rules of the public makes the problem more critical. Traffic sense should be
cultivated by the public and other road users. Traffic signals should be
seriously viewed. Offenders should not be spared. Pedestrians should be
encouraged to use footpaths and zebra lines for crossing the roads. All these
measures would help ease the traffic problem. Road safety would then be a
reality.

ii) What should road users cultivate?
iii) What is the purpose of Zebra lines?
iv)
Give the synonym for the following word:

oils of the cod and hali can be given to sick children.
Vegetable oil has been known from very long time. No household can go on
without it, for it is used in cooking. Perfumes may be made from the oils of
certain flowers. Soaps are made from vegetable and animal oils.
Another kind of oil is mineral oil. This oil that drives tanks, aero
planes and warships, motorcars and diesel locomotives. This is the oil that has
changed the life of the common man. This kind of oil comes out of the earth. It
burns well and so it is used as fuel. Many big ships now use oil instead
of coal. Many homes are still illuminated with oil burning
lamps.

Needless to say, our judgment and decision making capacity is severely impaired when we are in a reactive state of mind. We make quick decisions that we often regret.

Grammar may be defined as a system of rules for the use of language or as a
study of what is preferred and what is to be avoided in effective speech and
writing. We all speak and write, whether or not we are able to state rules
governing the words we use. To be effective, we must achieve clarity of
expression. We need to know how to present ideas forcefully without confusion
or unnecessary words, by choosing language suited to our purpose. In order to
use English correctly and gracefully, it is necessary to recognize and to
practice using good grammar. Listening to speakers who are accustomed to
speaking grammatically, helps to train the ear to correct usage. Simple,
idiomatic English is desirable for both writing and speaking, but it requires
some effort from language users.
i) How is grammar defined?
ii) How should we present our
ideas?
iii) How can one inculcate correct
usage?
iv) What
is required in writing and speaking?
v) Give the noun forms for the
following verbs :
a)
state
b) use
