EX No: III READING COMPREHENSION

Exercise 1
1. Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions
AF capable of two-front war, countering China: Air Chief B S Dhanoa
Making it loud and clear that the Indian Air Force has the capability to take on China and
Pakistan simultaneously, if the situation demands, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa
admitted that they have ‘Plan B’ ready for it despite force’s depleting combat strength. IAF chief’s
statement came days after the Army chief General Bipin Rawat had said that the country should
be prepared for a two-front war, stressing that China had started “flexing its muscles” and there
seemed to be no scope for reconciliation with Pakistan, whose military and polity saw India as the
adversary.
“We need strength of 42 squadrons to carry out full spectrum operations, but it doesn’t
mean we can’t fight a two-front scenario. There is a Plan B,” Air chief Marshal Dhanoa said, while
maintaining that the though the possibility of two-front war scenario is ‘low’. IAF at present
operating with 32 squadrons and on the verge of losing out more squadrons as MiG 21 and MiG
27 fleeting is ageing and the Air Force would achieve its sanctioned strength of 42 fighter
squadrons by 2032. IAF will have 83 indigenous Light Combat Aircaft Tejas, 36 Rafale and 36
additional Sukhoi fighter jets by end of 2019. In response to Pakistan’s recent boast of short-range
nuclear weapons to counter India, IAF chief said the Air Force has the capability of locating, fixing
and striking across the border, but making it clear that any decision on a surgical strike would be
the government’s.
Speaking at the customary press briefing ahead of the Air Force Day, Air chief Marshal
Dhanoa indicated that the tension at the China border still continues, despite both armies had
decided to disengage at the standoff site at the tri-junction at Dokalam after over two months. The
IAF chief said Chinese troops were currently present in the Chumbi valley, which is in the
Dokalam Plateau, and added that a peaceful resolution of the issue would be in the interest of both
countries.
“The two sides are not in a physical face-off as we speak. However, their forces in Chumbi
Valley are still deployed and I expect them to withdraw as their exercise in the area gets over,”
Dhanoa said. The Chumbi Valley is north of Doklam. Doklam is remote, uninhabited territory
claimed by both China and India’s ally Bhutan. It is believed that barely 10 kilometres from the
location of the standoff, China is expanding an existing track, reinforcing its claim to the disputed
and remote Doklam Plateau. China is trying to reinforce its claim in the area, which has been
objected both India and Bhutan, with nearly 500 troops.
About 350 troops were deployed by India at the face-off site and a similar number of
Chinese soldiers were camping in the area since June 16 after Indian troops stopped the Chinese

12
soldiers from building a road in the disputed area. Incidentally, Nirmala Sitharaman is also
traveling to Sikkim and Arunachal in the weekend to take stock on the situation after Dokalam
crisis.
About a possible confrontation with China, he said India’s air power was “adequate”. At
the same time, he talked about what China could or could not do from Tibet. “Our capability is
adequate,” he said. Clarifying that no air force assets were used during the Myanmar operation and
the surgical strike in PoK, IAF Chief maintained that a war-like situation may arise if the IAF
crossed the border. “Surgical strike is a decision that has to be taken by the government. The IAF
has the capability to carry out the full spectrum of air operations,” he said. “The IAF is prepared
to fight at a short notice in full synergy with the other two sister services should the need arise,”
he said, adding that the force was in a high state of readiness to fight a war.
IAF also briefed about force’s expansion plans including acquisition of S-400 Triumf long-
range air defence missile systems from Russia and 36 Rafale combat jets alongwith mid-life
upgrading of Mirage 2000, Mig 29s and Jaguar fleets, adding that the IAF was working to fully
achieving a network-centric operational capability.

Exercise 2
Biofuels and the Environment
Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and
companies rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many
involved in the sector could be jeopardising future profits if they do not consider the long-term
impact of what they are doing carefully. It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply
chain of any green fuel project in order to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding
environment and social structures. The report produced by the investors expresses concern that
many companies may not be fully aware of potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.
Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-
friendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried
that this will lead to destruction of rain forests. Food prices could also go up as there is increased
competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN warned that
biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that
land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest. There is
already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important
biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to
create palm oil plantations.
An analyst and author of the investors’ report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate
change but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and
environmental impacts thoroughly. There should also be greater measure taken to increase
efficiency and to reduce demand.
1. ____ are worried about the boom in biofuels.
a. Few people
b. Many people
c. Only these leading investors

2. Biofuel producers ____ know about the possible problems.

a. do not
b. might not
c. must not

3. Environmentalists believe that increased production of corn and soya.

a. has destroyed rain forests.
b. may lead to the destruction of rain forests.
c. will lead to the destruction of rain forests.

4. Biofuels might,
a. drive food prices up.
b. drive food prices down.
c. have little or no impact on food prices.

14
5. The increased production of palm oil.
a. just affects the environment.
b. just affects people
c. affects both people and the environment.
Exercise 3
4 Metro stations to get bicycle docking points

Vidhana Soudha will be among the Metro stations to get cycle docking stations. The Public
Bicycle Sharing system (PBS) in the city could have nearly 4,000 unisex bicycles equipped with
GPS and 350 docking stations at places that witness high footfall. Four Metro stations in the
Central Business District (CBD) area are set to have such bicycle parking lots in their vicinity
according to a proposal sent recently by the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) to the
state government for approval.

In his state budget speech on March 15, Chief Minister had mentioned that the ‘bicycles
on hire’ scheme would be taken up in select clusters in Bengaluru. The Phase-I of PBS, which
could cost between 60 crore and 70 crore, plans to cover 20 sqkm of the city’s total area of 790
sqkm, said N Murali Krishna, special officer, DULT. “The docking stations would be positioned
within 300m to 500m of one another,” he said. Such stations will come up on or near MG Road,
Vidhana Soudha, Indiranagar and Cubbon Park Metro stations. Each docking spot will have a
length of 12m and a width of 3m to 4m.
An internal survey carried out to identify cycle parking spots has also identified BDA
complexes, traffic and transit management centres, BBMP offices, and areas in the vicinity of
public parks. “The plan now is to run the hiring scheme between 6 am and 10 pm though it could
be increased up to 11pm in stations close to Metro stations if there is a demand for it,” the special
officer said. Swipe card and take a cycle DULT has also recommended creating a special purpose
vehicle in partnership with stakeholders like BMRCL, BMTC, BBMP to administer the project.

15
 Elaborating on the operations aspect, a DULT official said that a person hiring a bicycle
needs to go online and register for a swipe card using an identity card or walk into one of the
registration centres that will come up in future. “One just needs to use the swipe card which works
on Radio Frequency Identification Technology to unlock the vehicle and take it around. It need not
be brought back to the same place and can be parked at any other docking station available near
one’s destination,” he added.
People are not allowed to take the vehicles back home at night. “The whole idea is to make
the bicycle readily available for others who want to make use of them,” Krishna said. To popularise
the scheme, the public would be permitted to use the bicycle free of cost for up to one hour. “The
cyclist will be charged `5 for every succeeding hour,” he said. The system is quite robust and the
GPS keeps track of the movement of the bicycle. “If a cycle is lost or stolen, it can be easily
tracked,” he added. There will be a redistribution vehicle which will ensure that cycles are rushed
to the docking stations where the demand is high.
In an interview given to CharanSadu of The Times of India on April 1, Darpan Jain,
commissioner of Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT), said that the bicycle sharing
system will ensure last mile connectivity to commuters. “It will promote non-motorized transport,
particularly for short commutes. Besides offering people last-mile connectivity to other modes of
transport, PBS will help tourists explore the city,” he was quoted as saying. Chief Minister
Siddaramaiah had, in his budget speech, proposed the idea of a bicycle sharing system to be set up
in Bengaluru. Special officer of DULT Murali Krishna told TNIE that the sharing system will
function from 6 am to 10 pm. Commuters can avail the service by registering online or at
registration centres that will come up later. Using a swipe card, commuter can avail the bicycle
service.

EX No: IV RESUME WRITING

A Resume summarizes the most important information an employer needs to know

when hiring a person. The job seeker’s relevant qualifications, training, and work
history are listed under easily understood resume headings such as “Summary of
Qualifications,” “Professional Experience,” or “Education.”

A Job Application Letter is written to apply for a specific position. It is a

persuasive message that sells the applicant’s talents to a prospective employer. It
persuades the reader to believe in his/her suitability for a particular position. It is
basically a self-promotion instrument used by the applicant to boost his/her professional
value and career prospects.

The key elements in an application letter are

1. Gaining the reader’s attention.
2. Building the reader’s interest in the applicant’s candidature.
3. Convincing the reader that the applicant is the best candidate.
4. Motivating the reader to act.

These four elements should be included in three parts of the letter: an opening that
gains the reader’s attention, a body that builds the readers interest and convinces the
reader that the applicant is the best candidate, and a closing that motivates the reader to

18
 act.

 EX No: VI GROUP DISCUSSION

A GD is a methodology used by an organization to gauge whether the

candidate has certain personality traits and/or skills that it desires in its members.
In this methodology, a group of candidates is given a topic or a situation, a few
minutes to think about the same, and asked to discuss it among themselves for
20 minutes. Some of the personality traits the GD is trying to gauge may include:
• Ability to work in a team
• Communication skills
• Reasoning ability
• Leadership skills
• Initiative
• Assertiveness
• Flexibility
• Creativity
GDs can be topic-based or case-based.
Topic based GDs can be classified into three types:-
1. Factual Topics

29
 2. Controversial Topics
3. Abstract Topics
Reasons for having a GD
• It helps you to understand a subject more deeply.
• It improves your ability to think critically It helps in solving a particular
problem.
• It helps the group to make a particular decision.
• It gives you the chance to hear others ideas.
• It improves your listening skills.
• It increases your confidence in speaking.

The main areas tested in GD are:

Content: Content includes logical arguments on the subject. Collect the important points on the
given topic and use them as a weapon for discussion. Be relevant to the topic and don’t discuss
irrelevantly.
Communication skills: Communication is a dual process from both the perspectives of listeners
and speakers. Listening is also important like speaking. Listen carefully while others speaking and
make your points in a clear and concise way. Make a note of important points and build on other’s
points and give a conclusion to the discussions made by the entire team.
Group dynamics: GD is designed to test your behavior and influence in your group. Formal
English language and mutual respect are considered while speaking. Do not give strong concluding
statements at the beginning of the discussion. Learn to disagree politely if required without saying
the words’ I disagree.
Leadership: Leadership means ‘not controlling the group’ and it is an activity to guide the group
in terms of content. A good leader allows the group to express their views and conclude the given
topic.

Elements of effective Group Discussion:

• Get prepared well before the GD on your subject related topics.

• Prepare well on some related questionnaires.

30
• Do research before the interview on your area of subject.

• Express clearly and communicate well during the GD.

• Don’t respond harshly to the interviewer and don’t argue with other participants.

• Be polite and try to convince the team members.

• Don’t interrupt others while they are speaking and listen carefully while others speaking.

Sample Group Discussion:

Are digital payments secure enough for the Indian economy to go cashless?
Renuka : Yes, it is a bold move taken by PM Modi ji, he is looking forward to making India as
digital India and also wants to stop black money hoarder’s, after thinking on these two points we
can say it is a correct decision. Even a street vendor is having Paytm and learning digital payment
from others to go cashless. We have to learn new things & must have to change for better, and this
decision was a good idea but not better.
Sathya: I would like to add that India as a nation is not ready for a digital economy. Only 5% of
the population is doing online transactions and remaining is doing in a conventional way. There is
lack of e-channels, banks, ATMs etc in most of the rural part of the country and also due to illiteracy
among people, they are not adopting this medium of payment. If we want to go cashless than there
should be enough resources like smartphone, connectivity at cheapest cost, No ADDITIONAL
FEE on transaction.
Ajith: According to me, digital payment is a good initiative for the rich people who have a good
knowledge plus good internet in their hand but somehow the poor or illiterate people who earn
their livelihood could definitely be cheated. So it is definitely good idea but not the best.
Priya: As per my view, Digital payments are not secure. The maximum number of uneducated
people and farmers suffer a lot. They may be cheated and disappointed by robbers. Small retailers
do not have enough resources to invest in electronic payment infrastructure.
Manju: As digital payment is just started, the companies are securing the payments from hackers
and the pin, no one can easily get. It is secured until very good hacker raise in the nation.

31
Ajith: According to me digital payments are not secure enough for the Indian economy to go
cashless. Because the cyber security in India is very poor. The cybercrimes are increasing day by
day. The Facebook account of the owner of Facebook “Mark Zuckerberg” was hacked.
The Twitter Account of the Vice-president of Indian national congress party “Rahul Gandhi” was
hacked. Few months before the ATM passwords of SBI was hacked, then how can we say that
digital payment is safe. In conclusion, I want to say that our government needs to improve our
cyber security then we can realize that digital payment is secure.
Renuka: The digital payments are secure enough to go cashless but in India, some challenges are
seen like converting cash into digital money towards the adoption of digital wallets. To make a
habit change, if the benefit is large enough, consumers will switch in masses. By making wallets
swifter and safer than cash, I believe consumers will move to a digital wallet.
Vijay: Digital payment is secured but still you can find some of the cases of hacking accounts. It
is the responsibility of every individual not to disclosed account details. But even after proper care
the account is hacked then it is the responsibility of Bank to recover individual debt. Strict laws
required being passed regarding digital payment. It can be put in practice with a full swing
Rajan: Yes, it is secure for the Indian economy to go cashless but it is quite difficult process for
rural people because they don’t have that much of knowledge and they don’t have experience of
online things so as per my confirmation on this topic is negative because it is takes too much
time in a 10 to 15 years maximum. Everyone don’t have Paytm and net banking.
Sathya: I’m totally against this topic. According to report by times of India 28% of Indian are
illiterate and among the literate people 20% of them are unable to use smartphones or PCs and
30% of locality area is not under high-speed internet facility so it would be very difficult for them
to cope with cashless society. There comes a big question what about cyber crime
Renuka :In my point of view, in the case of digital payments each and every transaction is
accounted, so the chance of bribery is reduced. Increased cash accounts to more corruption so a
cashless society makes way for a corruption less society. The illegal transactions can be reduced.
Vijay:Well, I personally think that going for cash less payments is not secure till now. Many apps
like Paytm, ICICI Bank app, PayNow are not providing much security. If they provide security
like one-time password or before sending we need to use a username password then we can go for
cashless. Although its great opportunity for us to go towards progress.

EX No: VII PRESENTATION SKILLS

What is a Presentation?
A presentation is a means of communication, which can be adapted to various speaking
situations, such as talking to a group, addressing a meeting or briefing a team. To be effective,
step-by-step preparation and the method and means of presenting the information should be
carefully considered.

34
Guidelines for making Power Point Presentation:
1. Slides should include key points only, one idea per slide.
2. Avoid using complete sentences. Instead, use short phrases that capture the important
points.
3. Follow the “6*6” rule – Use about six words per line, six lines per slide (excluding the
title).
4. Use the same font, size, colour, and capitalization format throughout your presentation.
5. Open each bulleted point with a noun or verb in active voice.
6. Always use data labels and keep them horizontally so that the audience can read it easily.
7. Avoid border areas; maintain enough ‘white space’ on the slides to ensure that the
graphics or the texts are easy to read.
8. Use two-dimensional graphs for easy reading.

Structure of Presentation:
• Have a beginning, middle and an end. Use short sentences.

35
Consider
• Who are the audience?
• What points do I want to get across?
• How much time have I got?
• What visual aids are available? PowerPoint projector? Flip chart? Don’t necessarily use
these. Sometimes the best presentations are the most informal.

Introduction
• Welcome the audience.
• Say what your presentation will be about: the aims and objectives.
• The introduction should catch the attention. Perhaps a provocative statement or a
humorous anecdote:
• The Middle should outline your argument or develop your story
• State two or three main points and allow everything else to support these.
• Don’t try to say pack too much content in before the conclusion. Use graphics or
anecdotes to add variety.

Conclusion
• Briefly summarise your main points.
• Answer any questions.
• Thank the audience for listening. Look at the audience again, smile and slow down.
• The end should be on a strong or positive note

Tell them what you will tell them (introduction), tell them (development), tell them what you
told them.

EX No: VIII MOCK INTERVIEW

Interview is an interaction between two or more persons usually with a question and
answer pattern. The process is a means of gathering relevant data about a candidate for a particular
job position. It is a structured mechanism for professional evaluations for employment as well as

40
methods such as group discussion and oral presentation.

Guidelines for a successful job interview:

1. Dress for success. Professional business clothes are always appropriate, regardless of the
type of job. Proper hygiene and a tidy appearance are important.
2. Be there on time. Try to arrive 5 or 10 minutes early to be safe. Find out ahead of time
where you are going and how long it will take to get there. Drive or travel the route a day
or two ahead, at the same time of day on the day of the interview. Confirm how often the
buses run.
3. Let your personality shine. Don’t be afraid. Employers want passionate employees, so
be yourself. Just remember to always keep it professional.
4. Be confident. Feeling nervous in an interview is perfectly normal; just don’t let your
nerves overpower your interview. Eye contact and a calm, clear speaking voice are
excellent ways to show your confidence.
5. Watch your body language. During your interview, relax and sit naturally, but don’t
slouch in your chair or lean on the interviewer’s desk. Avoid chewing gum, or fidgeting
with jewelry or your hair.

41
 6. Be professional. This begins with a smile and a firm handshake. Remember, this is your
first introduction to the organization, so be polite to everyone you meet and turn off your
cell phone.
7. Listen and ask for clarification, if you need it. Remember to listen carefully to the
interview questions so that you actually answer the question, and never interrupt. If you
don’t understand something, don’t be afraid to ask for clarification.
8. Let them know what you have to offer. When answering the questions, let the employer
see what you have to offer their organization. Talk about your past experiences and
accomplishments without bragging, and tie those experiences to how they can help you
contribute to their organization.
9. Think before you speak. Although you want to be open and honest in your interview,
avoid talking about your personal or financial problems.
10. Don’t linger. Leave as soon as the interview is over, making sure you don’t linger. Shake
the interviewer’s hand again, restate your interest in working for the organization, and
thank them for the interview.

Answer the following questions:

1. Tell us about yourself.

42
2. What are your key strengths and weakness?

3. What are your short term and long term goals?

4. What do you want to achieve in the next five years?
