Welcome once again to our blog!!Welcome once again to our blog!!
We are back with a new set of the ‘Learn Vocabulary’ quiz series where we are going to ensure that you learn a word for the lifetime. The thing with good English writing skills is that you should have a diverse pool of words available at your beck and call so that your write-up does not suffer from the issue of repetition of a single word, time and again.
Being the Centre for Best SSC Online Coaching in Delhi / NCR, it is our promise that if you follow what we preach, your stock of words will definitely improve a lot. While learning new words, think about the job you are applying for. Where will English come into the picture in such jobs?
It will come into picture every single day when you communicate with your controlling office or in other official communication. Yes, we are trying to make you learn these words keeping in mind you will have to apply them on a regular basis. It is not just about knowing the synonyms and antonyms, but also knowing how to form sentences using the words you have learnt.
We sincerely hope that all of you will appreciate this effort of our team and we shall be able to help you in improving your vocabulary base for a lifetime. That is our motto. Go through the quiz. Attempt it, learn and more importantly, assimilate what you are learning. We wish you all the best for your journey.
