v o:1. What is the origin of'Hat-trick' and how

did it derive?

Pakistan chief Justice Iftikar Chaudhary

who was removed by Pakistan President...

Centre sits on proposal'(heading)

A proposal submitted by the state...

Please clarify my doubts.

- N.Satyam Emerald, Ramakrishnapur

: Origin of the word 'Hattrick' -riginally in 1858. An English bowler

tephenson who in1858 took three wickets

three balls in a row got a hat as a present

for his feat. Money was collected on the spot

from those watching the game, a hat was

bought on the spot and it was presented to

Stephenson.

This feat of taking three wickets, from then

onwards came to be known as a Hattrick. In

the beginning bowlers who got Hattrick were

presented hats. The term later was extended

to other games like hockey, football etc.

2) In American usage curriculum vitae and

resume (pronounced) Wu/ size ' ) are the same. They aredetails of your educational qualifications,

the jobs you have done, your experience,

etc., with your name and address which you

send when you apply for a job. Usually cur-

riculum vitae is more detailed than a

resume. A resume is brief.

3) That is a journal ists convent ion. Even in

Spoken English, we sometimes say 'I comehere to seek your support,' though we say

this after reaching the place, that is after the

action is completed. In English, the present

simple sometimes is used to refer to imme-

diate past.

a) and b) - The headline is usually in the pre-

sent tense and the report following it is in the

present perfect/ past simple, depending on

whether the time is stated or not. This has

been explained in our earlier answers to the
