  Mathematics is a subject of prime importance. It has practical utility in our day-to-day life. From morning to evening, we need to deal with numbers. The better we are at calculations, the bigger we grow in our life. Majority of students dislike mathematics, as they find it very difficult to understand. But, learning with right methods removes mathematics anxiety, and makes this subject very interesting. Mathematical calculation is a fundamental requirement in most competitive examinations. Hence, it is as indispensable subject. Buddham teaches you mathematics in a simplified way, and you are sure to succeed.  Utilize your vacation, and improve your mathematics.

  It is said that Mathematics is the queen of all subjects. It is true. Mathematics is a tool that solves problems of every other subject. It is a subject of great relevance to our daily life. Mathematics involves subject knowledge. But here we are talking about aptitude and reasoning which involve logic rather than knowledge. In most competitive examinations, questions are asked from aptitude and reasoning. Why do they ask aptitude and reasoning but not mathematics?  The answer is simple. They want to check your logic and inner ability rather than what you have learned.

Read the following sentences: "They came in order one by one.", "They repeated it again and again", "He is my cousin brother.", "Shall we proceed further?", "I will revert back soon.". You see that each of these sentences has the repetition of an idea. We can simply say: "They came in order., "They repeated it", "He is my cousin brother.", "Shall we proceed ?", "I will revert soon.  Tautology is a phrase or a sentence that says the same thing twice. It is needless repetition of an idea. Sometimes, tautology can be used in literature to emphasize an idea. But it is a faulty style of writing, as it adds unnecessary words.

  "Has anyone seen God?", "Can anyone fight with a lion?', "Is anyone mortal?", "Do you ever care for me?", "Have I ever troubled you?". Look at the above-given sentences which look like questions. But, are they questions, or they are answers? These are implied answers. When you use these sentences, you actually mean to say: "No one has seen God.", "No one can fight with a lion.", "No one is mortal.", "You do not care for me.", and "I have never troubled you.". Such questions are called rhetorical questions. A rhetorical question is a question that is asked in order to create a dramatic effect rather than to get an answer. Most of us use it in our daily conversations to convey our thought in a dramatic style. It is also an effective tool for writers to grab readers' attention.  It is good to be assertive. But, at times, you should use rhetorical questions. Buddham encourages you to im...

 Among all the four activities of communication; listening, speaking, reading & writing, listening is the one that we do more than other activities. We listen or hear for most of the time duration we are awake. Our ears rest only when we are in a sleeping state. There is a difference between listening and hearing. Hearing is just receiving the sound. We hear some noise, we hear sounds of thud, splash, blast, etc. Listening, on the other hand, is a serious activity. It needs our attention. When we listen to sounds, we understand the meaning, and we react. To be a good listener and to make others listen, it is important to classify the listeners. There are four types of listeners: active listeners, passive listeners, evaluative listeners & non-listeners. It is very interesting to know about these listeners. Active listeners are those who are very attentive and they listen to the whole conversation and grab everything. Passive listeners are those who listen to some part of the...

 There are many who struggle to speak English. When they are in a situation where they need to interact with others in English, they feel a lot of hesitation. Some people spend a lot of time learning grammar with the hope that it will enable them to speak in English. There are others who are good at grammar and also good at writing skills, but when it comes to speaking, they find it difficult. Again, there are some individuals who have an opinion that learning a good number of words will work for them, and they will start speaking one day. But, to no avail. Learning vocabulary and grammar does benefit learners, but the thing which is most important for learning to speak is practice. One needs to speak in order to learn to speak. A cricketer can learn to play cricket only by playing. A cook can learn cooking only by cooking. Theoretical knowledge does not help us much in learning or developing a skill. So, if anyone is interested to improve his or her speaking skill, he or she needs...

Before we discuss which is the better method of learning the usage, let us understand what we all need to learn about a particular word. Apart from the meaning of a word, we need to understand its parts of speech, its connotation, its phrasal use, and its collocation with the other word.  Every word has a role to play in a sentence. A word may c...

  Do you often forget the meaning of a word? Does it often happen to you that even if some words look familiar, you are unable to recall the meaning of those words, and you keep consulting a dictionary to search those words?  Yes, it is common for most of you to forget the meaning of the words that you have learnt. Building vocabulary is difficult, but retaining vocabulary is even more difficult for most of you. But isn't forgetting a natural thing? Don't you think it will be unnatural if you remember everything that you read or learn? All of us forget, and it is common and natural. This implies that we should not complain much about lack of retention or forgetfulness. But yes, we can surely try to retain most of the things that we learn or we have learnt. Let us be very specific about our topic: it is vocabulary. So, what all suggestions have you got from your seniors about how to retain words that you learn?

  Communication skill is one of the most important human traits. Human beings are sentient beings and social beings. We can feel and think. And we are willing to live in a group of other individuals for our physiological and our psychological needs. We have feelings, thoughts, and emotions which we need to exchange with others for our basic survival and better living.  Communication skill is our ability to convey our feelings, thoughts, and emotions, and it is also an ability to understand others' feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Human beings start communicating even before their birth when they are in their mother's womb. An expectant mother starts interpreting her child's cravings, this means that the child in the womb knows how to convey its feelings. The process continues after birth and goes on for the entire life of human beings while they are in social situations, in academic institutions, and in workplaces. The process continues till death. We can communicate with ...
