Given below is a very interesting account of an author’s purpose of writing. Skim these passages quickly and answer the questions given at the end.
Have you ever wondered why authors write? Sometimes they are inspired to create stories. Other times they write to provide information about an interesting topic. Some authors write to convince us about something. Whatever the circumstances, authors have reasons for writing; this is called, the “author’s purpose.” The three most common types of author’s purpose are: to entertain, to inform, and to persuade.
Think about the last time a story made you laugh, cry, or tremble with fright. These types of stories are written with a particular purpose in mind: to entertain the reader. Authors write many kinds of stories to entertain, including humorous fiction, realistic fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, and fables. While fiction entertains, non-fiction has a different purpose.
Many non-fiction writings or texts are written with the purpose of giving information about an interesting topic. Authors who write to inform must research their subject to ensure that they convey accurate information to the reader. Some examples of texts that inform are encyclopedia entries, news articles, expository non-fiction books, and interviews. All of these types of writing give information about certain topics.
Sometimes authors write because they want to convince their readers about something. This is called argumentative, or persuasive, writing. Oftentimes, texts that are meant to persuade use specific techniques to make the reader care about the subject and to think about it in a certain way. These techniques might be found in letters to the editor, argumentative essays, or persuasive speeches. Next time you read a text, see if your can figure what the author is trying to tell you. It might be easier than you think. Just ask yourself: what is the author’s purpose?
1. Which of the following is most likely the title of a passage in which the author’s purpose is to entertain?
A. Why dogs are Smarter than Cats
B. An interview with J.K. Rowling
C. The Adventures of Waldo Wizard
D. An Argument for Shorter Classes
2. According to the passage, authors who write to inform want to
A. provide information about a certain topic
B. make the reader laugh, cry or scream
C. Convince the reader to do something
D. invite the reader to critique their work
3. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is
A. to persuade
B. to convince
C. to entertain
D. to inform
4. Based on its use in paragraph 3, it can be understood that the word convey belongs to which of the following word groups?
A. document, chronicle, note
B. communicate, pass on, relay
C. hide, obscure, cover
D. detect, locate, discover
5. According to the passage, texts that are meant to persuade often
A. do not get as much attention as texts that entertain or inform
B. are very entertaining because they convince readers to laugh
C. use specific techniques to make the reader care about the subject
D. require a lot of research in order to ensure accuracy of information.
Q.1 Complete the following statements by giving a suitable reason for not accomplishing the mentioned tasks. (10)
i. I was unable to help you in the hour of need
ii. She could not attend the lecture,

Q.5 Read the following paragraph and identify the topic sentence, the concluding sentence and the supporting details. (10)
Caused by a number of viruses, contracting cold is common among people throughout the world and there are innumerable signs, cures and precautions associated with it. Although numerous theories exist regarding how to “cure” the cold, including taking doses of vitamins C, there is a little evidence to support any of them. In case of suffering from cold, the doctors usually advise to take bed rest, plenty of fluids and aspirin for relief of pain and discomfort. These are some of the most tried and true remedies. The rule of thumb is to keep your resistance level high. Also, avoiding people with newly developed cold appears to be the best strategy, since it is mostly contagious during the first 24-hours. Depending on the nature of the symptoms and seriousness, patients need to take appropriate measures and all of us need to be especially alert during changing seasons as these are the times when cold strikes… so believe in proverb “Prevention is better than cure”!!!

The neighbours of the deceased reported that………..
Q.9 All of us have memories, good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant, happy or sad. When we think about past, we feel nostalgic, which means remembering beautiful and happy past incident or events of life. Do you remember any such incidents or events which make you happy when you recall them during your free times? Write a paragraph based on such types of memories. (10)
Q.10 Good readers try to find out what is going to happen next when they read something. This is called prediction as mentioned in Unit 9. Here are two paragraphs. Read the first sentence of each paragraph and predict what is going to follow next? Write other details, which you think can fit into this paragraph. (10)

Given below is a very interesting account of an author’s purpose of writing. Skim these passages quickly and answer the questions given at the end.
Have you ever wondered why authors write? Sometimes they are inspired to create stories. Other times they write to provide information about an interesting topic. Some authors write to convince us about something. Whatever the circumstances, authors have reasons for writing; this is called, the “author’s purpose.” The three most common types of author’s purpose are: to entertain, to inform, and to persuade.
Think about the last time a story made you laugh, cry, or tremble with fright. These types of stories are written with a particular purpose in mind: to entertain the reader. Authors write many kinds of stories to entertain, including humorous fiction, realistic fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, and fables. While fiction entertains, non-fiction has a different purpose.
Many non-fiction writings or texts are written with the purpose of giving information about an interesting topic. Authors who write to inform must research their subject to ensure that they convey accurate information to the reader. Some examples of texts that inform are encyclopedia entries, news articles, expository non-fiction books, and interviews. All of these types of writing give information about certain topics.
Sometimes authors write because they want to convince their readers about something. This is called argumentative, or persuasive, writing. Oftentimes, texts that are meant to persuade use specific techniques to make the reader care about the subject and to think about it in a certain way. These techniques might be found in letters to the editor, argumentative essays, or persuasive speeches. Next time you read a text, see if your can figure what the author is trying to tell you. It might be easier than you think. Just ask yourself: what is the author’s purpose?
1. Which of the following is most likely the title of a passage in which the author’s purpose is to entertain?
A. Why dogs are Smarter than Cats

D. invite the reader to critique their work
3. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is
A. to persuade

A. document, chronicle, note

D. detect, locate, discover
5. According to the passage, texts that are meant to persuade often
A. do not get as much attention as texts that entertain or inform
B. are very entertaining because they convince readers to laugh

Q.5 Read the following paragraph and identify the topic sentence, the concluding sentence and the supporting details. (10)
Caused by a number of viruses, contracting cold is common among people throughout the world and there are innumerable signs, cures and precautions associated with it. Although numerous theories exist regarding how to “cure” the cold, including taking doses of vitamins C, there is a little evidence to support any of them. In case of suffering from cold, the doctors usually advise to take bed rest, plenty of fluids and aspirin for relief of pain and discomfort. These are some of the most tried and true remedies. The rule of thumb is to keep your resistance level high. Also, avoiding people with newly developed cold appears to be the best strategy, since it is mostly contagious during the first 24-hours. Depending on the nature of the symptoms and seriousness, patients need to take appropriate measures and all of us need to be especially alert during changing seasons as these are the times when cold strikes… so believe in proverb “Prevention is better than cure”!!!

HI Sir,
I am a student from UAE. Can you plz guide me from where i can prepare short question answers of Pak Studies. As i have only one book sent by the university. Is that sufficient. Kindly guide me how many words should be written to answer short questions and how many pages for long answers as i am new in this system and this is my first semester.
Regards,
ALI
Yes, I think Book is enough for preparation, Short answer should be at least 10 lines. Means two short questions in one page is enough to get good marks and for longs answers they should be from 4 to 6 pages each.
