Preface
Speech is Siler and Silence is gold!, "hich is an o#solete idea toda$, #ecause these are
the da$s "here one has to e%press ones ideas, thoughts,a#ilties er$ clearl$ . &hen it comes
to the pro'essional students, No one needs to tell a#out the importance o' the
communication skills 'or them.
Engineering students 'rom the rural #ackgrounds are not in'erior to the students 'rom
metro cities in an$ area e%cept in the Communication Skills. ( strongl$ #eliee that the$ can
pick up these essential skills "ith some e''ort. ( call this #ook as a kick)starter 'or the
students, "ho "ant to #e good speakers or a "riters. (' a student uses a pre"ritten speech
in this #ook and speks on the dais, it "ill help in a great deal to his*her con'idence. &ith
that con'idence he*she can prepare a script on his*her o"n and can make "onder'ul
speech. So is the case "ith the pre)"ritten letters gien in this #ook
(n order to create an English speaking Enironment, "e hae made a rule that all the
students and 'acult$ should communicate e%clusiel$ in English in the college Premises. ( am
glad that Sudheer has gien the most 're+uent$ used e%pressions in the classes*la#s in the
second chapter o' the #ook. ,he students and 'acult$ , can reproduce those e%pressions
accordingl$.
&e kno" ho" important is the Compering*anchoring-s role in making an eent
success'ul. ,his is the 'irst time ( hae come across a #ook that tells $ou ho" to do the
anchoring in the eents. ( congratulate .r.Sudheer Kumar.N, 'or his e''orts. ( hae spotted

the success in his career as an author, placement o''icer and as "ell as a lecturer.

Dear Students,
0eing a lecturer in English 1epartment is a challenging 2o# #ecause it is the onl$ department that is
e%pected to sho" the results o' its "ork immediatel$. 3or instance, i' a student 2oins in the ( 0.,ech

their 'inger at the English 1epartment. All the su#2ects in the pro'essional courses hae practical
applications. Students learn computer languages like C!, C44! etc and No one #others ho" man$

not to 'ind 'ault "ith an$#od$ #ut at the leel o' Engineering, Students are e%pected to put that

e%pressions at the right time and $ou are #eing mocked at ( kno" $ou 'eel ashamed o' this
"eakness. Let us not e%pose our "eakness to the societ$. Let us not gie a chance to others to mock
at us. 6ence this #ook is an e''ort to uphold $our pride. 7ou need some time to improe $our English
#ut at the same time "e can not aoid using English in our da$ to da$ li'e or at least in the college,
"here all the communication is supposed to happen in English. ,hat is "h$ ( hae "ritten this #ook
to help $ou out in
"riting letters 'or arious needs to arious people o' arious ranks
0eing an E.CEE* comp8re 9anchor: 'or the college da$ cele#rations or an$ other

___________________________________________________________________
Comp8re 9anchor: pla$s a ital role in making an eent success'ul. An anchor o' the eent can
radiate energ$ #$ #eing liel$, #$ using the right tone and modulation, #$ using impressie
e%pressions, #$ using the right #od$ language, #$ dressing sensi#l$ etc. 6ere are some tips gien 'or
the anchors<
Tips for the Anchors:
=. Some Anchors tend to gie importance to accent and 'luenc$ rather than clarit$. An anchor
should tr$ to speak loudl$ and clearl$ rather than striing to use American accent. .an$
people think that 'luenc$ is speaking more num#er o' "ords per minute, "hich is
completel$ "rong. 3luenc$ means speaking "ithout haing #reaks. Speak at a reasona#le
pace +uite clearl$. 7our tongue should touch the hard palate o' $our mouth strong enough
'or $our oice to sound clearl$ to the audience.
!rit or American, flaunt that accent only if you know how to do it
correctly, else you could "ust end up making a fool of yourself#
)an e%cerpt 'rom an article on 'ake accent in 1eccan chronicle on =
Septem#er C>=>
C. An anchor o' the eent must consider himsel' as the representatie o' the college
*organiDation that is organiDing that particular eent. 7ou need not hesitate to use the "ord
(! to start the proceedings.
E. .inimiDing the use o' paper to do the anchoring helps $ou in maintaining e$e contact "ith
the audience.
4. @emem#er that the lectern on the dais is not to hide $oursel' #ehind it.
F. &ear a smile on $our 'ace, "hich acts as an antidote to $our nerousness and makes $our
tone impressie.
Welcoming the guests on to the dais
0e'ore initing the guests on to the dais, it is essential to #rie' the gathering a#out the essence o'
the eent and a#out $our institute. ( hae here gien a sample introduction<

A'ter the #rie' introduction, the anchors should inite guests on to the dais. &hile initing the guests
on to the dais, ,he Anchors should a,oid using the same expression to inite all the guests on to the

Aood A'ternoon Eer$#od$. ,oda$, ( "ould like to e%tend a "arm "elcome to the ( 0.,ech students.
Let me 'irst congratulate $ou all 'or choosing the #est college in the region. ,o achiee $our goals or
e%pectations, $ou need to do some small things right, the$ are small things #ut $ig things happen
"hen you do the small things right.
,he 'irst thing that ( "ant $ou to do is to #e regular to the college. 7ou should not miss an$ classes
or la#s. Students tend to think that the$ need onl$ ?FR o' attendance to attend the e%aminations
$es, it is enough to attend the e%ams #ut not enough to #ecome merit student. 7ou should not miss
an$ classes or la#s
,he ne%t thing ( suggest $ou is to do a"a$ "ith the procrastination or postponing. So man$ sure$s
hae proed that it is the #iggest enem$ to man$ students. Especiall$ $ou the ( 0.,ech students hae
to 'ight against this enem$. 7ou can #e a #it lethargic as $ou hae #een idle 'or almost 'or Q months.
7ou hae to 'inish stud$ing the topics that hae #een taught in the classes on the same da$ itsel' as
soon as $ou go home. 3or that $ou need to #ur$ $oursel' in #ooks 'or at least 'our hours a da$.
Learning the core su#2ect inside out is so important #ut there is one more important thing that eer$
student should learn almost parallel "ith $our core su#2ect is English language! $ou should spend
at least one hour a da$ to learn English. /' course, $ou hae to communicate onl$ in English in the
college campus. 7ou should not 'eel sh$ to speak English. 1o not think that i' ( make mistakes "hile
speaking in English, people "ould make 'un out o' me. ,hat "on-t happen in Anurag. Eer$#od$ "ill
appreciate $ou speaking in English. No #od$ minds i' it is a #roken English or Spoken English
( asked $ou to spend 'our hours 'or stud$ing core su#2ects and one hour 'or learning English
language, "hich means that $ou need to spend at 'ie hours "ith $our studies. 7ou ma$ think that it
is not possi#le. ( can con'identl$ sa$ that it is possi#le proided that $ou should aoid the
time"asters. ,he time "aster num#er one is $our mo#ile phone. &e do not allo" the students to
carr$ their mo#ile phones into college campus rather than "e 'orcing $ou, $ou should hae a sel'
control oer using phone. 3or all the parents "ho are here, ( "ould like to stress that i' $ou "ant
$our son or daughter to prosper in their career, $ou should not gie him a mo#ile phone. ,he time
"aster num#er t"o is the teleision. 7ou should stop gluing to the teleision in order "ork on some

Anurag Engineering College has #een the most pre'erred college in the region. 7ou might not hae

Ethics in .rofessional Education
Aood morning on and all, ( am S$am o' ((( 0.,ech .echanical, "ould like to speak on the topic Ethic

teaches the technical e%pertise o' the 'ield, #ut also instructs the "hole human #eing a#out the

,he most important part o' an$ career is training. (' $ou "ant to #ecome an$thing 'rom a cook to an

Communication in the pro'essional organiDations happens mostl$ in "ritten. Students, the moment

re+uest, complaint or an$ 'or an$ other reason. ,he$ are perple%ed #$ this and mistook it as the @ed
,apism. Something gien in "riting has some adantages<
,here is a lesser chance 'or the message to #e misunderstood.
(t can #e used 'or the purpose o' maintaining a record.
Authorities take complaint in "ritten more seriousl$ than the oral one.
No one can eade this as long as he*she is in the pro'essional organiDation as a student o r an
emplo$ee. ,he audience 'or these letters is the higher o''icials. (t is not a good practice to "rite
letters to the higher o''icials "ith so man$ spelling and grammatical errors. Although making
mistakes is part and parcel o' learning, making some #lunders and taking them to the higher o''icials
"ill not help $ou in 'ul'illing the purpose o' $our "ork. (n this chapter, ( hae gien read$)to)use
letters 'or needs that a student comes across eer$da$. ,he 'ormat and the e%pressions used in the
