● Role of active and passive :- 

Active and passive voice play an important role in our day-to-day communication. Active voice focuses on the person who performs an action and makes sentences clear, direct, and natural. 

 Passive voice focuses on the action or the person/thing receiving the action and is often used when the doer is unknown, unimportant, or when the action is more important. It is commonly found in notices, news reports, formal writing, and official communication. Thus, both voices help us express ideas clearly and appropriately according to the situation.

Role of Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns are words used in place of nouns to refer to people or things. They include I, we, you, he, she, it, and they. They make sentences clear, natural, and less repetitive.

For example, instead of saying “Riya went to the market. Riya bought a book. Riya came home,” we can say “Riya went to the market. She bought a book and came home.”

Personal pronouns make sentences more effective by:

Avoiding repetition – Rahul is my friend. He is helpful.

Making sentences shorter and smoother – Meena is studying. She is preparing for exams.

Making communication natural – I like music. We enjoy listening to it.

Showing who is speaking or being addressed – I am ready. You can come with me.

Thus, personal pronouns improve clarity, fluency, and effectiveness in both speaking and writing.


Examples of Personal Pronouns


■ We are going to college.

■ You are very helpful.

■ Rohan is my friend. He is kind.

■ Priya is a good student. She studies regularly.

■ The dog is hungry. It needs food.

■ My friends are coming. They will arrive soon.

■ My brother and I play cricket together.

■ The teacher asked us to complete the work.

■ I met Rahul yesterday. I talked to him about the project.

■ This book belongs to Meena. It is hers.

■ The children enjoyed themselves at the picnic.

Example showing effectiveness:

❌ Riya went to the library. Riya took a book. Riya started reading the book.

✅ Riya went to the library. She took a book and started reading it.

Reading Skills

Reading skills are the abilities that help a person understand, interpret, and remember written information. Reading is not only about recognizing words; it also involves understanding the meaning, main ideas, details, and purpose of a text. Good reading skills help students learn faster, improve vocabulary, understand difficult topics, and communicate better. Reading skills are useful in education as well as everyday life, such as reading books, newspapers, notices, messages, and instructions.

There are two main types of reading:

1. Skimming

Skimming means reading a text quickly to get its general idea or main point. We do not read every word carefully. Instead, we look at the title, headings, first and last lines, and important words.

Example:

If you quickly read a newspaper article to understand what it is mainly about, you are using skimming.




2. Scanning

Scanning means reading quickly to find specific information in a text. We already know what information we are looking for, so we search for particular words, numbers, names, or facts.

Example:

If you look through a timetable to find your train's departure time, you are using scanning.




In short:

Skimming → Finding the main idea quickly.

Scanning → Finding specific information quickly.
