The contents in the book will surely enable the learners to identify the chronological sequence of ideas given that this will go a long way to give precision in the learners work and help cultivate a positive attitude to English.
Earlier on the English papers captured the various contents differently. Only Poetry, Oral Literature, Compositions and Grammar have been captured between 2000 and 2005.
