person. Formal conversations are often held in a professional setting - with a doctor, lawyer,
banker, clergyman, builder, etc. as opposed to informal conversations with family & friends. I
think it's the situation or setting that makes it formal - for example, if you go to your lawyer‘s
office to discuss making your Will, that's formal; if you meet him in the pub that evening & chat
to him about the latest football scores, that's informal.
Informal is used when talking to friends only! A casual form of information sharing typically
used in personal conversations with friends or family members. Within a business environment,
informal communication is sometimes called the grapevine and might be observed occurring in
conversations, electronic mails, text messages and phone calls between socializing employees.

GROUP DISCUSSION
What is a GD?
GD or group discussion is generally used when a large number of candidates appear for a test
and around 50 to 60 % of them need to be filtered out of the process. Candidates are made to sit
in a comfortable arrangement and then made to discuss a topic. The topics may vary from
current, to abstract to general and even technical depending upon the level of the exam.
Examiners observe the students in the course of discussion and rate them for selection or
rejection depending upon the contribution made by the candidates during the discussion. The
duration for which a group discussion is allowed varies from a mere 5 minutes to around 40
minutes.
Types of GDs
A discussion is a discussion is a discussion, how can it have types? Well I have tried to
categorize GDs with the intention of helping students organize the information pertaining to the
variety of topics on which a discussion takes place.

First and foremost there are general topics eg - ―Management is only for men‖, or
―Engineers are better managers‖, or ―Exams must be banned‖ or ―It does matter‖ etc..
These are topics which have been around for a while and most of the students already have

 an opinion on these issues.

Then there are abstract and ―arbit‖ topics eg- ―walk and talk or walk the talk‖, ―pink pajamas
on the red fort‖, and ―geography is history‖ etc. These are topics on which most of the students
 find difficult to handle, but, with some preparation, are in fact the easiest to handle.

And finally there are current topics eg – ―Global warming is heating up the intercontinental
relations‖, ―Good Bye – Recession‖, ―Are we ready for commonwealth games?‖ etc. These
are issues that are currently being debated and discussed on the print as well as the electronic

media.
What is being assessed in a GD?
Assessment in a GD is a subjective process and therefore there are no objective criteria of

assessment developed so far. But, in any team process, the three most important skills are
Communication skills, Leadership skills and interpersonal skills. Hence, examiners who are
considering a candidate‘s aptitude for team work generally assess the following abilities-
Communication skills – Many aspiring candidates assume communication to be the art of

getting across their point of view by any means. Personally I believe that this is not entirely true.
I mean getting across your point of view is important; but it is not the only important aspect of a
GD. Communication is a three stage process; you speak, you listen and understand, and then you
respond. Each element is important from the examiners perspective. So, that brings us to a
logical question, ―Practically speaking what an examiner looks for when he is considering the
communication skills of a candidate? I think the following parameters give examiner a cue
1. Ability to articulate a point

2. Alertness throughout the discussion
3. Ability to listen patiently
4. Response to the points being made
5. Spoken skills in the relevant language
6. Body language
Leadership Skills – Most of the group discussions nowadays are leaderless discussions. And
unless specified otherwise, candidates are allowed to speak in a random order just like a
normal conversation. But, someone with a potential for leadership shows the potential for
leadership naturally. Look around for someone with a flair for leadership and you will see
these traits almost instantly. I think the examiners look for the following when they look at the
leadership potential of any candidate-
1. Clarity of thought
2. Ability to withstand criticism
3. Confidence
4. Ability to give direction to a GD
5. Problem solving
6. Knowledge of the subject
7. Ability to persuade
8. Ability to initiate a GD
Interpersonal skills – The term interpersonal skill refers to an individual‘s ability to interact
effectively within a group. Interpersonal skills are all about working with other people. Quite
often interpersonal skills are assumed to be equal to communication skills. This is more so
because of the importance of communication in developing interpersonal skills. Interpersonal
skills however are much more than mere communication. They include being able to support and
encourage others, being able to give and receive constructive criticism as well as being able to
negotiate. These also include the ability to listen to and to value other‘s opinions, and the ability
to convey your points to a group. The examiner would look for the following when considering
the interpersonal skills of an individual –
1. The tone of the candidate

2. Body Language
3. Ability to network with others
4. Level of aggression
5. Listening skills
6. Choice of words used by the candidate

PRESENTATION SKILLS
Preparing your oral presentation
First of all, think...
Think about what you want to achieve:

do you want to inform your audience, inspire them to think about your topic, or
convince them of a particular point of view?
Think about your audience:
what background knowledge do they have about your topic? Do they have any
particular interests? How are you going to involve them in your presentation?
Then...
Brainstorm your topic and write a rough outline.

Research your topic. Don‘t get carried away—remember you have a limited time for
your presentation.
Organise your material and write a draft—think about the length of time you have to talk.
Summarise your draft into points to write on overheads and/or cards.
Plan and prepare your visual aids.
Rehearse your presentation and get its length right. Ask a friend to listen and time you.
Organising the content
Introduction (may be written last)
Capture your listeners’ attention: Begin with a question, a funny story, a startling
comment, or anything that will make them think.
State your purpose; for example:
‗I‘m going to talk about...‘
‗This morning I want to explain…‘
Present an outline of your talk; for example:
‗I will concentrate on the following points: First of
all…Then… This will lead to… And finally…‘
The Body
Present your main points one by one in logical order.

Pause at the end of each point (give people time to take notes, or time to think about
what you are saying).
Make it absolutely clear when you move to another point. For example:
‗The next point is that ...‘
‗OK, now I am going to talk about ...‘
‗Right. Now I'd like to explain ... ‘ ‗Of
course, we must not forget that ...‘
‗However, it's important to realise that...‘
Use clear examples to illustrate your points.
Use visual aids to make your presentation more interesting.
The Conclusion
It is very important to leave your audience with a clear summary of everything you
have covered.
It is also important not to let the talk just fizzle out. Make it obvious that you
have reached the end of the presentation.
Summarise the main points again, using phrases like:
‗To sum up...‘
‗So, in conclusion...‘
‗OK, to recap the main points…‘
Restate the purpose of your talk, and say that you have achieved your aim:
‗I think you can now see that...‘
‗My intention was ..., and it should now be clear that ...‘
Thank the audience, and invite questions:
‗Thank you. Are there any questions?‘
Delivering your presentation
Talk to your audience, don't read to them!
A presentation is not the same as an essay.
If you read out your presentation as if it were an essay, your audience will probably
understand very little and will lose concentration quickly.
So use notes, cue cards or overheads as prompts, and speak to the audience. Include everyone by
looking at them and maintaining eye-contact (but don't stare or glare at people).
Watch your language!
Keep it simple. The aim is to communicate, not to show off your vocabulary.
Emphasise the key points—and make sure people realise which are the key
points. Repeat them using different phrasing.
Check the pronunciation of difficult, unusual, or foreign words beforehand.
Use your voice to communicate clearly
Speak loudly enough for everyone in the room to hear you.

This may feel uncomfortably loud at first, but if people can't hear you, they won't
listen. Speak slowly and clearly.
Don‘t rush! Speaking fast doesn‘t make you seem smarter, it will only make it harder for
other people to understand you.
Key words are important. Speak them out slowly and loudly.
Vary your voice quality. If you always use the same volume and pitch (for example, all
loud, or all soft, or in a monotone) your audience will switch off.
When you begin a new point, use a higher pitch and volume.
Slow down for key points.
Use pauses—don't be afraid of short periods of silence. (They give you a chance to
gather your thoughts, and your audience a chance to think.)
Use your body to communicate, too!
Stand straight and comfortably. Do not slouch or shuffle about.

Hold your head up. Look around and make eye-contact with people in the audience. Do
not just address the lecturer! Do not stare at a point on the carpet or the wall. If you
don't include the audience, they won't listen to you.
When you are talking to your friends, you naturally use your hands, your facial
expression, and your body to add to your communication. Do it in your presentation
as well. It will make things far more interesting for the audience.
Don't turn your back on the audience!
Interact with the audience
Be aware of how your audience is reacting.

Are they interested or bored? If they look confused, ask them why.
Stop if necessary and explain a point again.
Check if the audience is still with you.
‗Does that make
sense?‘ ‗Is that clear?‘
Be open to questions.
If someone raises a hand, or asks a question in the middle of your talk, answer it. If you
can't answer it, turn the question back out to the audience and let someone else answer
it! Questions are good. They show that the audience is listening with interest. They
should not be regarded as an attack on you, but as a collaborative search for deeper
understanding.
Be ready to get the discussion going after your presentation. Just in case nobody has
anything to say, have some provocative questions or points for discussion ready to
ask the group.

Muybridge created a sort of flip book by setting up a row of cameras and then having an animal walk across the . Then he
programed every one of the cameras to go off one after the other. The animal was photographed in every single position so that people
could study the animal's movements. Later, Mr. Muybridge's were displayed in the University of Pennsylvania. Once film
projectors were invented, a lot of people could study things such as a jaguar , an ostrich walking or a horse . These
things were new to them. Nobody had seen these things before. Soon, scientists invented a way to record their using a single
camera. They no longer had to take a lot of pictures using a row of cameras. The video had been born.

Section II Reading Comprehension: Multiple Choice (This part carries 10 Marks)

Instruction: Read the Passage Carefully and Answer the Questions
Conflict had existed between Spain and England since the 1570s. England wanted a share of the wealth that Spain had been taking from the
lands it had claimed in the Americas.
Elizabeth I, Queen of England, encouraged her staunch admiral of the navy, Sir Francis Drake, to raid Spanish ships and towns. Though these
raids were on a small scale, Drake achieved dramatic success, adding gold and silver to England's treasury and diminishing Spain's
supremacy.
Religious differences also caused conflict between the two countries. Whereas Spain was Roman Catholic, most of England had become
Protestant. King Philip II of Spain wanted to claim the throne and make England a Catholic country again. To satisfy his ambition and also to
retaliate against England's theft of his gold and silver, King Philip began to build his fleet of warships, the Spanish Armada, in January 1586.
Philip intended his fleet to be indestructible. In addition to building new warships, he marshalled 130 sailing vessels of all types and recruited
more than 19,000 robust soldiers and 8,000 sailors. Although some of his ships lacked guns and others lacked ammunition, Philip was
convinced that his Armada could withstand any battle with England.
The martial Armada set sail from Lisbon, Portugal, on May 9, 1588, but bad weather forced it back to port. The voyage resumed on July 22
after the weather became more stable.
The Spanish fleet met the smaller, faster, and more manoeuvrable English ships in battle off the coast of Plymouth, England, first on July 31
and again on August 2. The two battles left Spain vulnerable, having lost several ships and with its ammunition depleted. On August 7, while
the Armada lay at anchor on the French side of the Strait of Dover, England sent eight burning ships into the midst of the Spanish fleet to set it
on fire. Blocked on one side, the Spanish ships could only drift away, their crews in panic and disorder. Before the Armada could regroup, the
English attacked again on August 8.
Although the Spaniards made a valiant effort to fight back, the fleet suffered extensive damage. During the eight hours of battle, the Armada
drifted perilously close to the rocky coastline. At the moment when it seemed that the Spanish ships would be driven onto the English shore,
the wind shifted, and the Armada drifted out into the North Sea. The Spaniards recognized the superiority of the English fleet and returned
home, defeated.
Q 13. Sir Francis Drake added wealth to the treasury and diminished Spain's _________.

Instruction: Read the Passage Carefully and Answer the Questions
Marie Curie was one of the most accomplished scientists in history. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered radium, an element
widely used for treating cancer, and studied uranium and other radioactive substances. Pierre and Marie's amicable collaboration later helped
to unlock the secrets of the atom.
Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a professor of physics. At an early age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a
blithe personality. Her great exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with her studies after high school. She became disgruntled,
however, when she learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to women. Determined to receive a higher education, she defiantly left
Poland and in 1891 entered the Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her master's degree and doctorate in physics.
Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists of her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and
Pierre were married in 1895 and spent many productive years working together in the physics laboratory. A short time after they discovered
radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie was stunned by this horrible misfortune and endured heart-breaking
anguish. Despondently she recalled their close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research. The fact that she had two
young daughters to raise by herself greatly increased her distress.
Curie's feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her husband as a physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was
the first woman to be given a professorship at the world-famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for isolating
radium. Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from her long exposure to radium, she never became disillusioned about her
work. Regardless of the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of the physical world.
Q 18. The Curies' _________ collaboration helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.
friendly
competitive
courteous
industrious

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 19. Marie had a bright mind and a ______ personality.
strong
lighthearted
humorous
strange

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --
Q 20. When she learned that she could not attend the university in Warsaw, she felt _________.
hopeless
annoyed
depressed
worried

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 21. Marie _________ by leaving Poland and traveling to France to enter the Sorbonne.
challenged authority
showed intelligence
behaved
was distressed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q 22. ________ she remembered their joy together.
Dejectedly
Worried
Tearfully
Happily

WRITING MEMO
What is a memo?
A memo is:
a hard-copy (sent on paper) document
used for communicating inside an organisation
usually short
contains To, From, Date, Subject Headings and Message sections
does not need to be signed, but sometimes has the sender's name at the bottom to be
more friendly, or the sender's full name to be more formal. If in doubt, follow your
company style.
How to write a memo
Memos should have the following sections and content:
1. 'To' section containing the name of the receiver. For informal memos, the receiver's given
name; e.g. 'To: Andy' is enough. For more formal memos, use the receiver's full name. If the
receiver is in another department, use the full name and the department name. It is usually
not necessary to use Mr., Mrs., Miss or Ms unless the memo is very formal.
2. 'From' section containing the name of the sender. For informal memos, the sender's other
name; e.g. 'From: Bill' is enough. For more formal memos, use the sender's full name. If the
receiver is in another department, use the full name and the department name. It is usually
not necessary to use Mr., Mrs., Miss or Ms unless the memo is very formal.
3. 'Date' section. To avoid confusion between the British and American date systems, write
the month as a word or an abbreviation; e.g. 'January' or 'Jan'.
4. Subject Heading.
5. The message.
Unless the memo is a brief note, a well-organised memo message should contain
the following sections:
a. Situation - an Introduction or the purpose of the memo
b. Problem (optional) - for example: "Since the move to the new office in Kowloon
Bay, staff have difficulty in finding a nearby place to buy lunch."
c. Solution (optional) - for example: "Providing a microwave oven in the pantry
would enable staff to bring in their own lunchboxes and reheat their food."
d. Action - this may be the same as the solution, or be the part of the solution that
the receiver needs to carry out; e.g. "we would appreciate it if you could
authorise up to $3,000"

astonishing, the hierarchy of the company organization was also observed.
A team comprising of H.R, a project manager and two developers received us. First we
were taken to the conference hall where a brief presentation on the visit was given. Next we were
taken to all departments with the instruction that we were not supposed to disturb the work of the
any the staff there. We also gained knowledge about the programming concepts, we learnt how
to work with the programs to get solutions in a creative manner.
The visit came to an end at 3pm with refreshment at the cafeteria. We left the premises at
4pm. On the whole the visit was very useful. We hearty thank our HOD for giving this useful
opportunity to rebuild ourselves.
Thanking you,

IELTS and TOEFL
IELTS (International English Language Testing Service) and TOEFL (Test of English as a
Foreign Language) are the two main English language tests available for prospective college
students from non-English speaking countries. Depending on your native language and pre-
college curriculum, taking either the IELTS or TOEFL may be a necessity. Although similar in
ambition and focus, these tests differ broadly in their approach and testing criteria.
The Basics
Both IELTS and TOEFL are designed to test your proficiency with the English language,
especially your ability to communicate effectively in a classroom setting and fit into a
predominantly English-speaking culture. Consequently, while SAT/GRE/GMAT test your verbal
ability, including reading comprehension, vocabulary, etc. IELTS and TOEFL only test how
comfortable you are with the English language. That doesn‘t mean these tests are a cakewalk, but
you won‘t be stretched nearly as thin as with the SAT, GRET or GMAT.
IELTS or TOEFL is usually a requirement for students from countries where English is not the
primary language. In some countries, taking either of these tests may also be required for
obtaining a visa. At the same time, high scores in the standardized tests – SAT/GRE – or a
English-heavy course curriculum at the high-school or Bachelor‘s degree level (for students
applying for Master‘s and PhD‘s abroad) may exempt you from these requirements, though this
is the exception, not the norm. In 90% cases, you will be required to take either the IELTS or
TOEFL.
What They Test

Both IELTS and TOEFL are divided into four sections:
Reading: This section is meant to test your basic reading abilities. You‘ll be shown 3-4
passages followed by questions on the same. The passages are usually easy* – something
you‘d find in any common academic textbook – and cover a wide range of topics, from
journalistic pieces to first person accounts.
Listening: This section tests your ability to understand spoken lectures and conversations
– a crucial part of academic and social success in a foreign country. You will be asked to
recordings of 3-4 lectures and discussions, followed by questions on the same.
Writing: The writing section tests your writing ability. Don‘t worry; nobody expects you
to pen the next Grapes of Wrath here. You will mostly be asked to write a summary of an
academic discussion, and express your opinion on a topic. This section primarily tests
how you organize your thoughts, and whether you can write fluent English that would be
acceptable in an academic setting.
Speaking: This section checks whether you can speak coherently on a given topic. This
may be broken down into several tasks. Some may take the form of an interview
(IELTS), while some may require you to listen to a discussion and express your thoughts
on the same.
Differences between IELTS and TOEFL

Now that we know what the IELTS and TOEFL actually are, let‘s look at the key differences
between them.
Acceptance
IELTS is mostly a British test. Hence, it is more readily accepted in universities within the
commonwealth. This includes colleges in Britain, New Zealand, Canada and Australia. Many
American universities accept the IELTS as well.
TOEFL was initially developed at the Center for Applied Linguistics at Stanford University. As
such, it has very wide acceptance in US universities. Almost every American college will accept
the IELTS, though that can‘t be said for the IELTS.
As a student, you can should consult the testing requirements of your target universities. Broadly
speaking, if you‘re applying for colleges in the British Commonwealth, go with IELTS.
Otherwise, take TOEFL. It isn‘t uncommon for colleges to accept either scores, regardless of
what testing requirements state.
Availability
Because TOEFL is an older test than IELTS, and because more students apply for universities in
US than Australia or Britain, TOEFL boasts a higher number of test centers as well: 4,500
centers spread across 165 countries.
IELTS, on the other hand, has only 900 centers globally, though this shouldn‘t be an issue as
they have a center in pretty much every major international city.
Both IELTS and TOEFL are offered 48 times per year.
Types
TOEFL offers just one type of test – the TOEFL iBT (Internet-based Test). Some centers also
offer the Paper-based Test (PBT) which is just a paper version of the iBT.
IELTS offers two types of tests:
Academic: This test is used for meeting the admission requirements of universities. It is
harder, with the tests concerned primarily with performance in an academic setting.
General: This is a general purpose test used to meet visa requirements when immigrating
to a country. It is easier with most questions concerned with performance in a real world,
social setting.
The IELTS test taker split is almost equally divided into 50% academic, and 50% general test
takers.
Cost
Testing fee for both TOEFL and IELTS varies between $150-$250 depending on your location
and test type.
Scoring
The TOEFL is scored out of 120 points. IELTS scores are based on a 9 point scale with half-
point increments. Since the TOEFL is scored on a wider point range, some students feel it to be
fairer than IELTS, where a few mistakes might degrade your score by a point or two.
Section Specific Differences

Besides the above, there are a few section specific differences among the tests as well:
Writing
Since IELTS is offered by the British Council, it accepts both UK and US English spellings.
TOEFL, on the other hand, uses predominantly US English spellings. If you‘re more comfortable
with UK than US English, consider taking the IELTS and vice-versa.
Listening
Expect to hear a variety of different accents on the IELTS Listening section. This may include,
but isn‘t limited to, British, American, Australian and Canadian accents.
TOEFL, on the other hand, employs the standard American accent. If you watch a lot of
American movies or TV shows, you‘ll find this much easier to handle than an Australian or Irish
accent on the IELTS. You can learn more about the standard American accent in this course.
Speaking
The IELTS speaking section is actually a one-on-one interview. Question topics can range from
the academic (―talk about the theory of evolution for a minute‖), to the mundane (―what is
your favorite hobby and why?‖).
The TOEFL speaking section involves speaking into a microphone. Most questions will be
academic in nature. You will also be asked to listen to a lecture or academic discussion and voice
your thoughts on the same (such questions are called ‗integrated tasks‘ on the TOEFL).
If you‘re more comfortable speaking into a mic than sitting across an interviewer, you‘ll find the
TOEFL Speaking section way easier.
Closing Words
The differences between TOEFL and IELTS are few but not inconsequential. Depending on
where you want to study – US or UK/Australia – you may choose either one of them. They cost
roughly the same, have the same duration (approx. 3 hours) and validity (2 years), and are
offered nearly year round.

arms, etc.)
Understanding the Interviewer

An interviewer must make hiring decisions. To do this THREE basic issues must be covered in
the questions they ask:
1. Can you actually do the job? Is your experience, training, education, aptitude and
interest sufficient so you would be productive for me?
2. Who are you? What are you like? What characteristics and traits do you possess?
3. Will you fit in with the others in my company/organization? Will you be part of a
problem
4. or part of a solution?

Choose a partner and determine who will be the interviewer and who will be
the interviewee first.
As the interviewee, decide what you would like feedback on. Be specific (body language,
using the STAR correctly, nervous gestures, etc)
After the practice interview. The interviewer will provide feedback ONLY on what
the interviewee requested
Switch places
Post-Interview
Reflect on interview – note unexpected questions or answers that need polishing
Send a Thank You email / card (within 24 hours)
Follow up (clarify during interview)
Prepare for a second interview
