Preface
The curriculum and curricular materials have been developed and revised on a regular basis with the aim of making education objective-oriented, practical, relevant, and job-oriented. It is necessary to instill the feelings of nationalism, national integrity, and democratic spirit in students and equip them with morality, discipline and self-reliance, creativity, and thoughtfulness. It is essential to develop in them the linguistic and mathematical skills, knowledge of science, information and communication technology, environment, health and population, and life skills. It is also necessary to bring in them the feeling of preserving and promoting arts and aesthetics, humanistic norms, values, and ideals. It has become the need of the present time to make them aware of respect for ethnicity, gender, disabilities, languages, religions, cultures, regional diversity, human rights, and social values so as to make them capable of playing the role of responsible citizens. This textbook has been developed in line with the Secondary Level English Curriculum, 2071 (2014) by incorporating the recommendations of various education commissions and the feedback obtained from various schools, workshops, and seminars, interaction programs attended by teachers, students, and parents.
