===================================
পিএসসি এর বিগত ১৮ বছরের English Literature এর উপর
প্রশ্ন শেয়ার করলাম।৩৮তম বিসিএস প্রিলির জন্য ৪/৫
টা বই ঘেটে ঘুটে English Literature এর বিগত প্রশ্নসমূহ
হাতে লিখে টপিকস অনুযায়ী সাজিয়ে নোট করা
হলোঃ
.
❑ English Literature এর উপর খুব বেশি জোর দেয়ার
পক্ষপাতী অনেকেই না।কারণ এটা লিখিত বা অন্য
কোথাও কাজে দিবে না।এছাড়া পিএসসিও চায় না
কেউ Literature অনেক অনেক মুখস্ত করে ইংলিশ এ
পার পেয়ে যাক।আমার মনে হয়, সর্বোচ্চ ৭০% কমন
থাকতে পারে। PSC এখন vocabulary, বিশেষত
communicative English এর উপর বেশি জোর দিচ্ছে। ৩৫,
৩৬,৩৭ তম বিসিএস এর প্রিলি ও লিখিত সেটার
ইঙ্গিত দেয়।
