Bcs Preliminary Preparation: English Literature

.
41 তম বিসিএস প্রিলির জন্য ৪/৫ টা
বই ঘেটে ঘুটে English Literature এর বিগত প্রশ্নসমূহ হাতে লিখে
নিয়েছিলাম। তারপর টপিকস
অনুযায়ী সাজিয়ে নোট
করেছিলাম।আসলে সেই সময়টায়
ইংলিশ নিয়ে জোর দিব, আরও কাজ
করব, এমন অন্য কিছু ছিল না।নোট্
করেছিলাম – যেন সবাই যতটুকু পারে,
আমিও যেন কমপক্ষে ততটুকু পারি।
English Literature এর উপর আমি খুব বেশি
জোর দেয়ার পক্ষপাতী না।কারণ
এটা লিখিত বা অন্য কোথাও
কাজে দিবে না।এছাড়া
পিএসসিও চাবে না কেউ Literature
অনেক অনেক মুখস্ত করে ইংলিশ এ
পার পেয়ে যাক।আমার মনে হয়,
সর্বোচ্চ ৭০% কমন থাকতে পারে। PSC
এখন vocabulary, বিশেষত communicative
English এর উপর বেশি জোর দিচ্ছে। ৩৫,
৩৬ তম বিসিএস এর প্রিলি ও লিখিত
সেটার ইঙ্গিত দেয়।
