Most of us have probably had frustrating times when we couldn’t see to get our brain
going. We simply sit blankly struggling to get the right ideas. And we’ve also known states of
high concentration – when we get our best work done at a fast pace. How can one get oneself
into his/her most productive state, one’s own personal zone?
Psychologists who have worked in the field of maximum performance and neurologists
who have studied what happens to the brain in such states provide useful advice. Psychology
Professor Michael Posuer of the University of Oregon points out trying a task for the first
time increased blood flow and electrical activity in the brain. But with practice brain blood
flow and electrical discharges decreased. The more we practice concentration, Posuer
believes, the less brain activity is necessary. And mental skills perfected in one area can be
transferred to others. [LN 1015] AUGUST 2018 Sub. Code: 4706

Self-talk can also lead to increase performance. It can take one’s mind off distractions.
“Focusing on words keeps people in one-point concentration” says Rou Pekala, of the Mid-
Atlantic Educational Institute in Pennsylvania.

4. Mention one advantage of perfecting mental skills in one area.
5. What is self-talk?
V. Precise writing: (1 x 10 = 10) Write one third of the following passage.
English education and English language have done immense goods to India, inspite of
their glaring drawbacks. The notions of democracy and self-government are born of English
education. Those who fought and died for mother India’s freedom were nursed in the cradle of
English thought and culture. The West has made contribution to the East. The history of
Europe has fired the hearts of our leaders. Our struggle for freedom has been inspired by the
struggles for freedom in England, America and France. If our leaders were ignorant of English
and if they had not studied this language, how could they have been inspired by these heroic
struggles for freedom in other lands? English, therefore, did us great good in the past and if
properly studied will do immense good in future.
English is spoken throughout the world. For international contact our commerce and
trade, for the development of our practical ideas, for the scientific studies, English-is
indispensable “English is very rich in literature,” our own literature has been made richer by
this foreign language. It will really be a fatal day if we altogether forget Shakespeare, Milton,
Keats and Shaw.
