Using this Book

Why was this book written?

It was written to help you improve your knowledge of idioms in English. Idioms are fixed expressions whose meaning is not immediately obvious from looking at the individual words in the idiom. You will come across a great many idioms when you listen to and read English. So it is important that you learn about the meaning of idioms and about how they are used. You can use this book either with a teacher or for self-study.

We wanted to encourage language learners to have a balanced approach to idioms in English. Sometimes in the past, teachers used to argue that it was a waste of time for learners to study idioms as they might start using them in an inaccurate or unsuitably way. But idioms are in such widespread use that it is inappropriate to ignore them. This book focuses just on those idioms which the modern student needs to know and it aims to provide the information and practice which will help you understand and use them correctly.

How were the idioms in the book selected?

There are a great many idioms in English, but some of them sound rather old-fashioned or are not very widely used. The 1,000 or so idioms which are worked on in this book were all selected from hose identified as significant based on computer searches of huge language databases: the CANCODE corpus of spoken English, developed at the University of Nottingham in association with Cambridge University Press and the Cambridge International Corp-us of written English. These databases show us how the idioms have actually been used by native speakers of English in conversations, newspapers, novels, and many other contexts. The idioms selected are all also be found in the Cambridge International Dictionary of Idioms were additional examples and usage notes will also be found. You can search this dictionary online by going to the following website.

CPEC & Pakistani Economy: An Appraisal (Download Book in PDF)

CPEC & Pakistani Economy: An Appraisal (By: Dr Ishrat Hussain)

Introduction

One of the common reservations expressed about CPEC is that it lacks transparency and non‐availability of complete information. The terms and conditions of financing at which the Chinese companies are participating in these projects are not fully known and the likely future financing burden on Pakistan’s balance of payments is not obvious. This booklet attempts to address some of these issues to the extent that the projects have been planned, agreed upon, finalized and implementation is under way. Only approximately half of $ 45 billion committed originally for CPEC would be utilized for these projects. Pakistan’s liability is therefore at present limited to this $ 23‐25 billion only. Many other projects are at feasibility stage, discussion or negotiation stage between the two governments or on hold. No amount has either been committed or disbursed for these projects and the liability of Pakistan has not yet arisen. It must be kept in mind that the planning of CPEC follows four stages and frim information would flow only when we reach that stage. These stages are:

CSS Essay Strategies for the alleviation of property

Q.1   Strategies for the alleviation of poverty (CSS 2005)

Solved CSS Essay: Poverty Alleviation

“Poverty anywhere is a threat to prosperity everywhere”. It is a scrooge and one of the worst curses and miseries that a human can face. According to Homer. “This, this is misery! The last, the worst, that man can feel”.

Poverty can be measured either in absolute terms, for example, the number of those who cannot afford more than two pairs of shoes, or in relative terms, for example, the number of the poorest ten percent of house-holds. In either sense it is a concept, which is defined arbitrarily. Poverty exists not only because incomes are low, but also because the needs of certain low income households are high.

Poverty has many dimensions, which include economic, political, social, environmental and human dimensions. In economic terms a county, a region or a household is poor when the per capita income of a country or the income of a household is very low. Similarly the purchasing power of a poor country or household is below a certain minimum standard; there are low medical care and health facilities, productivity is very low and there is illiteracy.
