Role of Dictionary and writing a good Answer

How many times do we understand the Questions Correctly? 

Eg: Do you Find any Diff between the following Questions?
       1. Describe Ashoka's policy of Dhamma.
       2. Comment on Ashoka's Dhamma

Is the answer for both the above are same or do they follow the same steps of Explanation?

No ..........

Because there is difference in the meaning of words Describe and Comment

If you look into Dictionary: Describe -> State the characteristics or appearance
Comment -> Give your View Point

So Friends we all generally come to conclusions after seeing the question and write answer in similar fashion for both.Before looking at dictionary also you just knew the meaning of words, But just knowing and Exactly knowing makes a huge difference. If we had known exact meanings we can change the style of writing accordingly. This is where we can fetch marks. Otherwise also there will be mention of Ashoka's Dhamma in both the answers. What the Question Demands will be met if we know exactly.

Hence a Very Dictionary should be on your table all times of your preparation. Even though we know good English, we will not be having the Insight knowledge of words.
A good Dictionary will help you understand complex topics also. Don't worry if you have to look into Dictionary a number of times also. You will be benefited in long run...

Here i would like to give you few words mostly which will appear in questions and Answer accordingly:

Describe
Discuss
Debate
Do You agree?
Evaluate
Elucidate
Examine
Trace
To what Extent.... etc

Once you understand this concept. Whenever you are studying a topic, you will analyse it in different directions.

Hope this helps you and Try to add more words by yourself. then you can write an effective answer to any question.
