Solved Precis for competitive examinations.

Before I start the exercise of Precis writing let me share some important things with you about the precis. 

Precis is a short summary of a paragraph. But writing Precis is more than just making the paragraphs short. Writing precis requires skill so that you do not miss out a point and capture all the main essence in one single small paragraph. Therefore, for writing a precis you need to follow a particular set of rules and that is why it is important to understand the Rules of precis writing.

The motive of writing a precis is to make the reader understand the main essence of the paragraph in a shorter format. 

In other words, A precis is a brief summary of a book, article, speech, or text. The basic characteristics are conciseness, clarity, completeness, and coherence.

Write the precis of the following paragraph and suggest a suitable title.

In every country people imagine that they are the best and the cleverest and the others are not so good as they are.

The Englishman thinks that he and his country are the best; the Frenchman is very proud of France and everything French. The Germans and Italians think no less of their countries and many Indians imagine that India is in many ways the greatest country in the world. This is wrong. Everybody wants to think well of himself and his country. But really there is no person who has not got some good and some bad qualities. In the same way, there is no country which is not partly good and partly bad. We must take the good wherever we find it and try to remove the bad wherever it may be. We are, of course, most concerned with our own country, India. Unfortunately, it is in a bad way today. Many of our people are poor and unhappy. They have no joy in their lives. We have to find out how we can make them happier. We have to see what is good in our ways and customs and try to keep it, and whatever is bad we have to throw away. If we find anything good in other countries, we should certainly take it.
