Reading Comprehension 06 - Factual 1
Reading comprehension is a very important aspect of study for anyone learning the English language, not just for those studying at Upper Primary school. The purpose of any language is to communicate and comprehension is the understanding of a communication, in this case a factual one.
You can communicate in written English or spoken English. In both forms of communication grammar is a vital component. While reading and writing are important for written communication, pronunciation and listening are important for oral communication.
Comprehension is defined, according to one of the dictionaries, as an exercise consisting of a previously unseen passage of text with related questions, designed to test a student's understanding. For a person to have a comprehension he must know the rules by which the passage is written or spoken. Only then can the person comprehend what is written or spoken.

To be a good reader or listener one must know the language well. Knowing the language well is achieved by learning grammar, spellings, pronunciation, different parts of speech and the various nuances of the language. It is said that practice makes perfect and the best way to learn is through reading and listening carefully.
Reading comprehension may be classified into several types depending upon what is being written. One of the types is factual writing. In factual writing there is very little scope for diverse interpretation and the writer writes what is factually there. Many news stories are factual writing and are printed in newspapers and reach hundreds or thousands of readers.

Mr Rajeev Sharma must realise that the PM was talking to the whole of India and not just the thinkers. In a speech that lasted about an hour, he touched upon subjects that he felt the people of India would like to listen to and probably act on his exhortations. On this he scored one hundred percent.
Sharma tore into the Indian psyche of being soft on male children as compared to female children. I am sure this will touch a chord in every set of parents and hopefully they will advise their male offspring to behave responsibly. All the other issues he touched upon would also directly affect the masses and the PM wanted positive action from his countrymen.
On internal security, defence and space, what could the people of India contribute if the PM had mentioned his plans? There is not much the Indian people can contribute directly in space and defence sectors. However, on internal security, he did indirectly touch upon it by exhorting all sections of society to shun all forms of violence, including communal. A lot of internal security issues would get sorted out if the communities live in peace and harmony among themselves. On defence and space, the PM would definitely talk to the people involved in those activities, which he has done admirably so far. Also, there is no merit in outlining your strategies in critical sectors such as defence.
