PREFACE

“Way to success leads to success”

We are very happy to publish this new updated version of ‘Way to Success, A Complete Guide 2017-18’ for 10th English Papers I & II.

This idea sprouted from the support of many students, parents and teachers who were benefited by our famous study material, which was published in www.kalvisolai.com during the year 2011-12. The first edition of ‘Way to Success–Complete Guide for 10th English’ was published in the year 2012-13 and it was updated in the years 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17. A large number of students benefited and began to use Way to Success as their sole companion in these five years. Now we are proudly publishing a new updated version of Way to Success Complete Guide for the year 2017-18. Every year we introduce many innovative ideas and methods in our product. Last year we have separated practice book and Question bank into two different books. This year we have given separate paragraph answers for gifted students. For slow learners, we give pictures to understand paragraph answers. New ideas have been introduced in grammar portions.

We have conducted ‘Model Public Examination’ for 10th English in the year 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. A large number of students benefited.

All our books are published by ‘Way to Success Publications’. Our main aim is to enrich the student community and the teacher community.

“The Destiny of our nation lies in the classrooms only”. In order to help the students from rural community, we offer this material at a low price.

It’s a Self-learning Material with a bilingual approach. Each unit is dealt with properly based on the Government syllabus and Question pattern.

Our innovation is the ‘Practice Book’, supplied with this Study material. A lot of exercises have been given there for each and every section. Students can take slip tests, unit tests and term tests. The Question Bank consists of 27 sets of full portion Govt. Questions. These tests and exams will give you training to face your Public Examination boldly.

We assure you that this guide will serve you like a good friend to realize your dreams in the near future.

Our sincere thanks to Mr.K.K.Devadoss, founder of www.kalvisolai.com and Mr.Somu, Managing Trustee of Way to Success Trust for their kind support. We thank our trustees Mr.K.Rajamanickam Santha, Mrs.M.Saraswathi, and Selvi.C.Subha Anthoniammal who have helped us to publish this book successfully.

Best Wishes to All. jtç àÉ fâvvxáá gxtÅ
