VOCAB TEST:-

Lingua Franca conducted a VOCAB TEST on the 1st of feb.The response was overwhelming.Precisely,107 teams turned up.
The test was prepared on the GRE cum CAT pattern.There were 5 kinds of questions-synonyms,antonyms,fill in the appropriate word,one word substitution and analogies.We had shuffled the questions by making 3 sets-A,B & C to avoid unscrupulous means and to ensure that we got deserving winners.Each team consisted of 2 members.There were a total of 25 questions and the duration for the test was 30 min.
There were 4 winning teams.The 2nd place was shared by 3 teams.The winning team was awarded a cash prize of Rs. 200 while each runner up team received Rs. 100 each as a token of appreciation.The scores and solutions were e-mailed to all participants.
We will conduct many such tests in the future and thereby give opportunities to all the members to improve with every performance.

SUGGESTIONS:

To improve vocabulary,NORMAN LEWIS is a great help for beginners.But first and foremost reading the newspaper is extremely important,especially the editorial section.For preparing for various competitive examinations,GRE BARRONS is highly recommended.

RECRUITMENTS:-

Lingua franca held recruitments from 1st year students for joining the team of organizing members.It was delightful to know that a fairly large number of students were interested.They were interviewed by a panel of 7 senior organizing members of the society including the president,RUPALI TYAGI.We were impressed by the CVs’ of most registered people.But due to the limitation on the number of new organizing members,we had no choice but to consider the very best ones.Some interviews were carried out in the hostel also.Though the achievements and credentials of most were commendable, we finally narrowed down to 11 candidates whom we found most deserving and promising. The jury had laid emphasis on some of the following factors-confidence,eloquence of speech,team-spirit,leadership and communication skills.We hope that the newly recruited members who are now a part of our team will work diligently for the upliftment of the society.

The newly recruited 1st years are:-
1.NITISH
2.ROHIT
3.ANUJ
4.ETIKA
5.RITIKA

VOCAB TEST FOR BEGINNERS:-
