Essay on "MOTIVATION FOR EXAMINATION".

 When we hear about the word, "EXAMINATION", our mind and brain- both become tensed and stressed. We become anxious by thinking what to do, when to do etc. But if we think deeply about it, we definitely realize that all these tensions are of no use, they are only putting pressure on our nerves.


So today we are going to know something more about the terrific word, "EXAMINATION". We have to know first what is examination:-

           An examination is the process of checking or testing one's knowledge or proficiency in a subject. Examination can be verbal, in the written form or computer-based.


But now we have to think why do we become so tensed because of the examination. There are many reasons of it:-

      1. If we are not prepared well for the exam, then we can be tensed.


       2. If we don't have the depth on that particular topic or subject, then tension may come.


        3. If the exam is verbal, then the problem may arise because of the lack of vocabulary and speaking power.


        4. If it is any physical test, then the tension may come because of the lack strength in our body.


    There are many more reasons available. But particularly these are the most prominent problems of the students.


   Here I will tell you some very important points which you should remember always and which will help you to control your tension and reduce your anxiety :-


    1. If you think more, but study less, then it is of no use. We should invest our time in studying rather than thinking.


   2. If we are aware of our weakness, means if we know which topic or which portion of the subject is not prepared, we have to concentrate on that.


     3. We should practice writing lots of time. From the very childhood, we always hear, "READ LESS, WRITE MORE". We should take it as a MANTRA. Actually if we write any topics for many times, it becomes stored in our mind. So, we should do that.


     4. We have to concentrate on our daily routine. We should maintain a proper routine for the whole day. It is not only about the study, it is also about the diet and sleep. We should take a balanced diet before and during the examination. It will keep our body fit. We also have to take a sound sleep to make our brain work properly and actively. 


      5. We should practice talking to someone to increase the confidence for the verbal exam. 


      6. If it is any physical test, we should incorporate yoga, exercise, cardio in our daily life. It will make our body stronger and we definitely look smarter.


So if we follow these simple but effective solution, we don't have to be worried about the examination. We have to prepare ourselves from the early time, so that in the time of exam, it doesn't become the reason of worriness, rather we can think that it is the time to know and judge ourselves that how much we learn about something.

Explanation of Nouns:Numbers

Follow the two sentences:
1. He has a pen.
2. I have six pens.

In the first sentence, "a pen" is suggesting one pen but in the 2nd sentence, "six pens" suggest many pens.

In the English Language, Number is of two kinds:
1. Singular Number (suggests one)
2. Plural Number (suggests many)

Now we have to learn some rules through which we can change a singular noun into a plural one.

Rules:

1. We can change a singular number into plural by adding "-s".

                 Eg. Cow - cows
                        Dog - dogs
                        Pen - pens

2. If the noun ends with 's', 'ss', 'sh:, 'ch', 'x', 'z' etc, then it takes "-es" to become plural.
      
                   Eg. Bench - benches
                         Bus - buses
                         Ass - asses

3. The noun which ends with 'o' and has a consonant before it, takes "-es" to become plural.

                  Eg. Buffalo - buffaloes
                         Mango - mangoes
                         Tomato - tomatoes
# But some exceptions are there which do not follow this rules.

This kind of words are - canto, Dynamo, kilo, memento, piano, solo photo etc.

4. If the noun ends with 'o' but has a vowel before it, then it takes only "-s" to become plural.

                    Eg. Cuckoo - cuckoos
                          Audio - audios
                          Radio - radios

5. If the noun ends with 'y' and is followed by a consonant, then in the plural 'y' will be removed and "-ies' will be used.

                    Eg. Country - countries
                           Cherry - cherries
                           Lorry - lorries

6. Now, if the noun ends with 'y' but is followed by a vowel, then it takes only "-s'' to become plural.
 
                     Eg. Boy - boys
                           Tray - trays
                           Monkey - monkeys

7. There are some nouns which ends with 'f' or 'fe'. In this case 'f' and 'fe' will be removed and it will be replaced by "-ves".

                    Eg. Self - selves
                           Leaf - leaves
                           Wife- wives

# In this some exceptions are there. This kind of words are - turf, scarf, safe, roof, handkerchief, grief, gulf, chief etc.
In these words, 'f' is not replaced, only "-s'' is added with them 

8. There are some words in which only inner vowels are changed to make them plural.

                  Eg. Mouse - nice
                         Tooth - teeth
                        Goose - geese

9. By adding "-en" or "-ren", some words are changed into plural form.

               Eg. Ox - oxen
                     Child - Children
                     Brother - brethren
   
10. In the matter of Compound Nouns, "-s" or "-es" is used with the main word to make it plural.

       Eg. Father-in-law - Fathers-in-law
              Milk-man - milk-men
              Maid-servant - maid-servants

11. There are some words which are not changed in their plural form. It remains same all time.

               Eg. Deer - deer
                     Sheep - sheep
                     Fish - fish

12. There are some words which always remain plural.

Eg. Cattle, people, jeans, scissors, spectacles etc.

13. There are some words which look plural but maen singular.

Eg. News, means, tennis, cards, piles, diabetes etc.

Parts of Speech

There are eight kinds of parts of speech. They are-
1) Noun
2) Pronoun
3) Adjective
4) Verb
5) Adverb
6) Preposition
7) Conjunction
8) Interjection


Noun:

A noun is a naming word. It can be a name of a person, a place, a thing, a class etc.

Examples: 

Darjeeling - name of a place
Rahim- name of a person
Jupiter- name of a planet
Sun- name of a star.

Pronoun:

A pronoun is a replacing word. It is used in the place of noun.

Examples:

I, we, he, she, they, it.

Adjective:

An adjective is a word which is used in a sentence to modify a noun or a pronoun. It can tell us about the quality, quantity of a noun or a pronoun.

Examples:

1) They are intelligent students.
2) I have two cars.
3) She is beautiful.

In these sentences, 'intelligent', 'two' and 'beautiful' suggest the quality and quantity of 'students', 'cars' and 'she'.

Verb:

A verb is a action word. It talks about the work or function. It is a doing word.

Examples:

Sleep, talk, write, read, take, get, achieve, see, work etc.

Adverb: 

An Adverb modifies a verb or an adjective or an Adverb itself.

Examples:

1) She is running very fast.

In this sentence 'very' and 'fast' are used as an Adverb.

Firstly,"fast" modifies the verb "is running" and then "very" modifies the Adverb "fast". So both of the words work as adverbs.

Preposition: 

A preposition is used in a sentence to create a relationship of the noun or pronoun with the other words of the sentence.

Examples:

The cat is sitting under the table.
 
In this sentence, 'in' used to create the relationship of the noun 'cat' with the other words of the sentence.

Some prepositions are- in, at, into, under, on, about, among, between, onto, of, from, by, with etc.

Conjunction: 

A conjunction is a word which can connect two or more words,or phrases  or even  sentences.

Examples:

1) She is beautiful but cruel.

Here 'but' connects 'beautiful' and 'cruel'.

2) Are you coming here or Shall I go?

Here 'or' connects two sentences 'are you coming here' and 'shall I go'.

Interjection:

An interjection is a kind of words which is used in a sentence to express our feeling better.

Examples:

1. Bravo! You are amazing.
2. Alas! She is no more.
3. Ouch! It is hurting.

In these sentences, 'Bravo', 'alas' and 'ouch' are to express our surprise, sorrow etc.
