Seventh Assignment: Delivering Oral Presentation
Important not: All the students should note that your respective class English Teacher will assign you with the topics for your Presentations and necessary input required.
Eighth Assignment: Paragraph writing
Assignment No: 8 Paragraph Writing
Exercise:1The following sentences are about the weather and how to dress while touring Beijing, China. There is too much information here for one paragraph. Some of the sentences are specifically about the weather. Put the number of those sentences in the box below marked Weather. Other sentences are about how to dress while touring Beijing. Put the number of those sentences in the box below marked Dress. Each set of sentences has one that is general enough to be a topic sentence. Circle those two sentences.
Once you have identified the above sentences as to whether they are talking about weather or dress
and found the topic sentences, arrange the sentences in a logical order and write (on a separate sheet
of paper) a paragraph about each topic.
Weather Dress
1. ____ 1. ____
2. ____ 2. ____
3. ____ 3. ____
4. ____ 4. ____
5. ____ 5. ____
6. ____ 6. ____
1. Winter is freezing cold.
2. Autumn is best as the temperature is mild and the sun is out a lot.
3. Beijing's four seasons are distinctly recognizable.
4. In the warmer months, T-shirts and light pants or shorts are the best bet.
5. It is easy to dress for touring Beijing.
6. In the autumn, jeans and a sweater are usually fine.
7. For touring during the day, wear casual clothes.
8. Bring nice clothes for going out at night.
9. The temperature in spring is nice, too, but it is very dry and windy.
10. Summer can be unbearably hot.
11. In the colder months, it is wise to dress in layers; long underwear and jeans, shirt, sweater and
a down jacket.
Exercise:2
Each of the following paragraphs has a sentence that is irrelevant. Draw a line through that sentence.
Example:
There are many things you can do to help the earth’s environment. You can
recycle newspapers, clear plastic and aluminum cans. You can buy products
made from recycled paper. Also, you can purchase drinks in glass bottles or
aluminum cans instead of plastic containers. Glass and aluminum are easier
to recycle. I enjoy recycling.
Paragraph 1
Responsibility is an important part of being an adult. We should meet our obligations by
being reliable, accountable, and dependable. We should follow through on our promises. It is
important to be one time for appointments that we have agreed to. I am often late for my
appointments. Be someone your friends can count on. Students should do their homework on
time. By creating a habit of reliability, people around us will see us as responsible individuals.
Paragraph 2
Bird watching is a great hobby. Many birdwatchers began watching birds as children or
young people. Birds hold a fascination with many people because there are almost always birds
around to see. Butterflies are great to watch too. Birds are easy to learn to identify and fun to
watch. Backyard bird feeding is a good way to get started watching birds by bringing them to
your yard.
Exercise:3
Pick one of the topics below and write a topic sentence about it.
Things you like to do on Friday night
How you did for fun in high school or grade school
A memorable holiday
Next, you write at least 10 supporting sentences (on a separate sheet of paper/class notebook) about the topic. Don’t worry about proper capitalization, punctuation, and grammar at this point. Review the supporting sentences and make sure that they all support the main idea of the topic sentence. Cross out any sentences that do not support the main idea. Those sentences are irrelevant.
Finally, write a paragraph, using the topic sentence and relevant supporting sentences form above. Be sure to use correct capitalization, punctuation and article use.

Fourth Assignment
Idioms
An idiom is a phrase, or a combination of words, that has developed a figurative meaning through frequency of use. Idioms are often shared across languages through numerous translations. They can be useful and even fun to use, but are also bound to confuse any new speaker of a language who isn’t familiar with the phrase’s cultural relevance.
The following list of idioms will be in alphabetical order, with an explanation and contextual example provided for easier comprehension.
actions speak louder than words
- Definition: Refers to the idea that it’s better to do something than just talk about it.
- Example: “He always tells his girlfriend that he loves her, but he never actually does anything nice for her. Someone should teach him that actions speak louder than words.”
add fuel to the fire
- Definition: Something that worsens an already bad situation.
- Example: “I wanted to intervene when they were yelling at each other, but that would have just added fuel to the fire.”
all bark and no bite
- Definition: Being verbally threatening, but unwilling to do anything significant.
- Example: “He keeps threatening to shut down our paper after we ran that article about him, but I don’t think he will. In my opinion, he’s all bark and no bite.”
at the drop of a hat
- Definition: A willingness to do something right away.
- Example: “Our boss expects us to show up in her office at the drop of a hat, even when we’re in a meeting with clients.”
beating around the bush
- Definition: Avoiding the main issue.
- Example: “I kept trying to steer the conversation back to his alibi, but he wouldn’t stop beating around the bush, bringing up things totally off-topic.”
a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
- Definition: It’s better to have a small, secured advantage than the possibility of a bigger one. It’s better to stick with what you have than risk it for something greater.
- Example: “Someone offered me $100 to buy my old TV. I was hoping to sell it for $200, but I have a feeling this is the best offer I’ll get for a while, and I need that money now. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, right?”
blessing in disguise
- Definition: Something good and beneficial that did not initially seem that way.
- Example: “It was raining so hard that our cab was late, and we were late to our reservation at the restaurant. Turns out everyone who ate there that night got food poisoning. I guess the bad weather was a blessing in disguise!”
break a leg
- Definition: Something you say to someone you want to wish luck on.
- Example: “Is tonight your big performance? Break a leg!”
chip on your shoulder
- Definition: When someone is upset about something that happened a while ago.
- Example: “He has a chip on his shoulder from years of being bullied as a kid.”
come hell or high water
- Definition: Possible obstacles in your path.
- Example: “I promise you, come hell or high water, we are going to make it to your party tonight!”
cry over spilt milk
- Definition: Complaining about a loss or failure from the past.
- Example: “She was mad that he broke her vase, but it was an accident, and there’s no use crying over spilt milk anyway, so she forgave him.”
cut to the chase
- Definition: Skip the irrelevant parts, and go straight to the main point.
- Example: “Why don’t you just cut to the chase, and tell me where you hid my phone!”
hit the nail on the head
- Definition: Do or say exactly the correct thing.
- Example: “I really hit the nail on the head when I guessed they were getting married.”
piece of cake
- Definition: Something that is easy to understand or accomplish.
- Example: “My math homework last night was a piece of cake! I finished it ten minutes.”
slap on the wrist
- Definition: A mild punishment, such as a scolding.
- Example: “The cop pulled me over for speeding, but it was my first time so she just gave me a slap on the wrist.”
spill the beans
- Definition: Tell a secret.
- Example: “My three-year-old spilled the beans about the surprise birthday party we were planning.”
taste of your own medicine
- Definition: When someone receives the same treatment, usually negative, that they gave someone else.
- Example: “That kid is always beating up other kids on the playground. I wish someone would give him a taste of his own medicine.”
Exercise For students : Use above idioms in your own sentences and write them in your MSBTE English Practical Manual assignment no: 12

Pronouns
Pronouns
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a common
noun or a proper noun. There are different kinds of pronouns.
Personal Pronouns:
The words I, you, he, she, it, we and they are called
personal pronouns. They take the place of nouns and
are used as the subject of the verb in a sentence.
My name is David. I am the youngest in the family.
This is my father. He is a teacher.
This is my mother. She is a lawyer.
I have a brother and two sisters.
They are Peter, Sharon and Jenny.
I have a dog. It is called Lucky.
Lucky, you are a good dog.
Good morning, children! You may sit down now.
My family and I live in a big city. We have an apartment.
The subject of a sentence is the person, animal,
place or thing that does the action shown by the
verb.
There are three groups of pronouns: first person,
second person and third person.
The person speaking is called the first person.
The first-person pronouns are I or me (in the singular) and
we or us (in the plural).
The person spoken to is called the second person. The
second-person pronoun is you (in both singular and plural).
The person (or animal, or thing) spoken about is called the
third person. The third-person pronouns are he or him, she or
her, and it (in the singular), and they or them (in the plural).
The word I is always spelled with a capital letter.
The pronoun he is used for men and boys, she for
women and girls, and it for things and animals.
Here is a table to help you.
Subject Object
First person singular : I me
Second person singular: you you
Third person singular : he him
she her
it it
First person plural : we us
Second person plural : you you
Third person plural : they them
Reflexive Pronouns
The words myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves are called reflexive pronouns. They refer to the person or animal that is the subject of the verb.
I made this cake myself.
Be careful with the knife. You’ll cut yourself.
Michael is looking at himself in the mirror.
Susan has hurt herself.
Our cat washes itself after each meal.
We organized the party all by ourselves.
Come in, children, and find yourselves a seat.
Baby birds are too young to look after themselves.
Interrogative Pronouns
The words who, whom, whose, what and which are called interrogative pronouns.
These pronouns are used to ask questions. Who can be used as the object of a verb as well
as the subject. Whom is used only as the object.
For example, you can say:
Whom
Whom are you playing with?
What
Who
Who is he talking to?
Who are those people?
Whom are you playing with?
Whom is he talking to?
What is your dog’s name?
What are you talking about?
What is the time?
Which
Which of these bags is yours?
Which do you prefer?
Whose
Whose is this umbrella?
Whose are these gloves?
The Capital Letter
The Capital Letter
The capital letter is also called a big letter or uppercase
letter, or sometimes just a capital.
[A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z]
When do you use a capital letter?
1. Use a capital letter for the first letter in a
sentence:
The dog is barking.
Come here!
2. Always use a capital letter for the word I:
I am eight years old.
Tom and I are good friends.
3.Use a capital letter for the names of people:
Alice, Tom, James, Kim, Snow White
4. Use a capital letter for the names of places:
National Museum, Bronx Zoo, London, Sacramento
5.Use a capital letter for festivals, holidays,days of the week, months of the year:
New Year’s Day, Christmas, Labor Day, Mother’s Day,
Sunday, Monday, Friday, January, May, July, October
Revising Basic English Grammar:What is Grammar?
What is Grammar?
[Here’s an old children’s rhyme about the eight parts of
speech of English grammar. It gives you an idea of what
grammar is about. Read and remember it.]
Every name is called a noun,
As field and fountain, street and town.
In place of noun the pronoun stands,
As he and she can clap their hands.
The adjective describes a thing,
As magic wand or bridal ring.
Most verbs mean action, something done,
To read and write, to jump and run.
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As quickly, slowly, badly, well.
The preposition shows relation,
As in the street or at the station.
Conjunctions join, in many ways,
Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase.
The interjection cries out, “Heed!
An exclamation point must
follow me!”
