STUDY MATERIAL 2015-16 CLASS XII ENGLISH CORE (301) PREFACE Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan is a pioneer organization which caters to the all round development of the students. Time to time various strategies have been adopted to adorn the students with academic excellence. This support material is one such effort by Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, an empirical endeavor to help students learn more effectively and efficiently. It is designed to give proper platform to students for better practice and understanding of the chapters. This can suitably be used during revision. Ample opportunity has been provided to students through master cards and question banks to expose them to the CBSE pattern. It is also suggested to students to keep in consideration the time-management aspect as well. I extend my heartiest gratitude to the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan authorities for providing the support material to the students prepared by various Regions. The same has been reviewed by the Regional Subject Committee of Patna Region who has worked arduously to bring out the best for the students. I also convey my regards to the staff of Regional Office, Patna for their genuine cooperation. In the end, I earnestly hope that this material will not only improve the academic result of the students but also inculcate learning habit in them. M. S. Chauhan Deputy Commissioner CONTENTS
