Village Christmas


Book Description

From the author of Cider With Rosie, Village Christmas is a moving, lyrical portrait of England through the changing years and seasons. Laurie Lee left his childhood home in the Cotswolds when he was nineteen, but it remained with him throughout his life until, many years later, he returned for good. This collection brings to life the sights, sounds, landscapes and traditions of his home - from centuries-old May Day rituals to his own patch of garden, from carol singing in crunching snow to pub conversations and songs. Here too he writes about the mysteries of love, living in wartime Chelsea, Winston Churchill's wintry funeral and his battle, in old age, to save his beloved Slad Valley from developers. Told with a warm sense of humour and a powerful sense of history, Village Christmas brings us a picture of a vanished world.

A Workbook on Functional English Year - 2021-22


Book Description

‘A Workbook on Functional English’ is a book of a few pages but very rich in contents to provide adequate revision to the students, if they solve the given exercises meticulously. The essentials of the language aspects have been covered, looking at their requirements. It happens that after going to the higher classes, a few language concepts become faint in the memory. So, this will be an opportunity for them to come out of it. The exercises are based on myriad topics under various categories such as LOTS (Low Order Thinking Skill Questions), MOTS (Middle Order Thinking Skill Questions) and HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill Questions) along with a Corporate Vocabulary Repository and Tense Chart. After solving the exercises meticulously with interpretation, a feel of confidence will certainly come among them. So, it is apt to say that without vibrant thoughts, fire within, vigorous practice, cleaning mental cobwebs in the subject and esoteric opportunities, it is difficult to have gravity in the subject. It is only by earnest endeavour; one’s task gets accomplished and not by just planning. The exercises have been so easily and meticulously prepared that the requirements of the students may be met with fairly and squarely. It is suitable enough to make the learners interested in learning. I strongly believe that no obstacle in insurmountable. Hardships and obstacles are not meant to be evaded, but to be mastered. I wish the students all the very best for their future endeavours.
