General English will also be one of the section in the bank clerical exams.

Most of the bank exams, they will not put negative marking for this section.

So, if that is there, there is a chance to attempt all the questions from this section.

Anyway as you are telling poor in English, I request you don't use that poor again. It reveals that you are pessimistic about yourself.

So instead of saying that, I am average and I am eager to know, say in this manner.

For English, Comprehensions will be coming.Mostly two passages will be asked and from these passages, you ewill be asked questions.

In order to answer the questions, you should be able to read the passage fast and to understand the essence of the passaged. So I should suggest you develop this habit in your day to day life.

Several questions will have special emphasis on Grammar.
So be good enough in all the Grammatical aspects.

Focus specially on tenses and prepositions. These will be useful in correction of sentences.

Vocabulary is also important. Synonyms will be asked. So try build up your vocabulary as much as you can.

Daily learn 5-10 new words and try to implement them in your regular conversations.

dear friend, to prepare your English section you should first try to develop your vocabs. it can be handled easily if you will be in touch with any english newspaper regularly.try to practise at least 10 words daily. thats all. Then only you can understand difficult words given in bank clerical exams. you can refer "word power made easy" to develop your vocabs.....

second thing is that you have to learn grammar part strongly. i.e. prepositions, article, tense pattern etc.
good luck.

Hi

I feel that English proficiency can only come by regular practise and reading Novels, correlating words with instances of a novel strikes the most in the mind and hence it is easier to learn and remember as you have a story to relate with the new word, while you can also get some ready available solutions availale for other Bank PO exams like the one i am giving you here,

Latest News

Canara Bank P.O. Exam, 2009 : English Solved Paper


Canara Bank Probationary Officers Exam., 2009
(Held on 15-3-2009)
English : Solved Paper

Directions—(Q. 1–15) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.

John Maynard Keynes, the trendiest dead economist of this apocalyptic moment, was the godfather of government stimulus. Keynes had the radical idea that throwing money at recessions through aggressive deficit spending would resuscitate flatlined economies- and he wasn’t too particular about where the money was thrown. In the depths of the Depression, he suggested that the Treasury could “fill old bottles with banknotes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coal mines” then sit back and watch a money-mining boom create jobs and prosperity. “It would, indeed, be more sensible to build houses and the like, “he wrote, but “the above would be better than nothing.”

As President-elect Barack Obama prepares to throw money at the current downturn-a stimulus package starting at about $800 billion, plus the second $350 billion chunk of the financial bailout-we all really do seem to be Keynesians now. Just about every expert agrees that pumping $1 trillion into a moribund economy will rev up the ethereal goods-and-services engine that Keynes called “aggregate demand” and stimulate at least some shortterm activity, even if it is all wasted on money pits. But Keynes was also right that there would be more sensible ways to spend it. There would also be less sensible ways to spend it. A trillion dollars’ worth of bad ideas-sprawl-inducing highways and bridges to nowhere, ethanol plants and pipelines that accelerate global warming, tax breaks for overleveraged McMansion builders and burdensome new long-term federal entitlements-would be worse than mere waste. It would be smarter to buy every American an iPod, a set of Ginsu knives and 600 Subway foot-longs.

It would be smarter still to throw all that money at things we need to do anyway, which is the goal of Obama’s upcoming American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan. It will include a mix of tax cuts, aid to beleaguered state and local governments; and spending to address needs ranging from food stamps to computerized health records to bridge repairs to broadband network to energy-efficiency retrofits, all designed to save or create 3 million to 4 million jobs by the end of 2010. Obama has said speed is his top priority because the faster Washington injects cash into the financial bloodstream, the better it stands to help avert a multiyear slump with double-digit unemployment and deflation. But he also wants to use the stimulus to advance his long-term priorities : reducing energy use and carbon emissions, cutting middle-class taxes, upgrading neglected infrastructure, reining in health-care costs and eventually reducing the budget deficits that exploded under George W. Bush. Obama’s goal is to exploit this crisis in the best sense of the word to start pursuing his vision of a greener, father, more competitive, more sustainable economy.

Unfortunately, while 21st century Washington has demonstrated an impressive ability to spend money quickly, it has yet to prove that it can spend money wisely. And the chum of a 1 with 12 zeros is already creating a feeding frenzy for the ages. Lobbyists for shoe companies, zoos, catfish farmers, mall owners, airlines, public broadcasters, car dealers and everyone else who can afford their retainers are lining up for a piece of the stimulus. States that embarked on raucous spending and tax cuttng sprees when they were flush are begging for bailouts now that they’re broke. And politicians are dusting off their unfunded mobster museums, waterslides and other pet projects for rebranding as shovel-ready infrastructure investments. As Obama’s aides scramble to assemble something effective and transformative as well as politically achievable, they acknowledge the tension between his desires for speed and reform.

The points that we should remember while taking up an English test are -
1) Learn the basics and proper usage of grammar
2) Should avoid spelling mistakes
3) Make sure that the sentence formation are clear and concise

This is important for the purpose of communication on the part of the candidate. Here a candidates comprehension, vocabulary are checked. As are his abilities to line up a group of sentences in the right order. Here too time is of the essence. This section is not very difficult for any English speaking person, but even then practicing is important to improve speed and to minimize errors.

my dear friend
here you need to concentrate on english grammar and spellings.but in the examination will get one paragraph of story under story will have 5 questions but the answers are included in the a bove story.so that's why here you need to make practice this type of paragraph answers by making all previous papers and one more thing is some sentence he will jump one word and ask find that word.so this type of questions you need practice spelling mistakes than you will find correct answers and prepare articles like A,AN,THE.this type of questions are also chance to come in the examination.so finally be prepare english grammar perfectly
good luck
regards

hi dear,
General English will also be one of the section in the bank clerical exams.

Most of the bank exams, they will not put negative marking for this section.

So, if that is there, there is a chance to attempt all the questions from this section.

Anyway as you are telling poor in English, I request you don't use that poor again. It reveals that you are pessimistic about yourself.

So instead of saying that, I am average and I am eager to know, say in this manner.

For English, Comprehensions will be coming.Mostly two passages will be asked and from these passages, you ewill be asked questions.

In order to answer the questions, you should be able to read the passage fast and to understand the essence of the passaged. So I should suggest you develop this habit in your day to day life.

Several questions will have special emphasis on Grammar.
So be good enough in all the Grammatical aspects.

Focus specially on tenses and prepositions. These will be useful in correction of sentences.

Vocabulary is also important. Synonyms will be asked. So try build up your vocabulary as much as you can.

Daily learn 5-10 new words and try to implement them in your regular conversations.


thanks

English paper in bank Clerical exam judges the candidate in the following arena viz comprehension; prepositions, correct/ incorrect, fill in the blanks (using verbs, preposition, articles etc), Para jumbles, sentence corrections, Synonyms, Antonyms, Grammatical errors, idiom & phrases, questions on passage, one word substitution, general grammar and questions on passage. The standard of the questions will be of 10+2 level.

syllabus of English section for IBPS clerk exam:
1.English grammar
2.Comprehension
3.Vocabulary
4.Sentence correction

Pay attention to the grammatical mistakes as they can change the meaning of the sentence. It is advisable that the candidate spends some time in learning the usage of grammar.

Another blunder made by the candidate in bank exam is the spelling mistakes. The best way to avoid this mistake to re-check the paper and make sure that there are no such errors in the paper.

Make sure that while putting down your thoughts and ideas on paper, the sentence formation is correct. The candidate should improve his/ her way of speaking good English to perk up sentence formation.

The candidate should make a habit of reading English newspaper on a regular basis especially the editorial part as it helps in improving comprehension skills and better understanding of the language.

Reading newspapers also helps in improving vocabulary; the candidate should note down the difficult words and look up for their meaning in dictionary.

Read good grammar books of 10th level like Wren and Martin and practice sets for English language on a regular basis. Check your score, go through the questions in which you faced difficulty, and practice them accordingly.

Thanks....
