Being an Old Ravian, you’re instinctively inclined towards Civil Service in Pakistan.. I’ve started growing this aspiration to secure in competitive exams (CSS/PMS) for past 2 years and I’ve been lately working over it since the pandemic started and I got more time to kill! I’ve worked on academic requirements needed for the Exams but I still believe I’m lacking serious essay writing and articulation skills for the competitive exams as well as Interview preparation for such exams.. The latter of which can be groomed utilizing the Amal Academy Platform… However the essay articulation skills , I’m still finding answers for it like what are the metrics?

To improve the essay articulation and enhance my writing skills and to #JustStart this journey, I took the following three steps during the past week:

1. Joined the platform CSS Examined :

This is a contemporary educational consultation service for competitive exams. They support CSS aspirants through their research based analysis. The platform is highly recommended for a nascent CSS Aspirant…

2. Subscribing to “The Intercept”:

The Intercept is one of the most popular and independent new firm that provides the most unflinching in-depth analysis on global current affairs.

I really admire the articulation of The Intercept as it gives editorial freedom to its journos and their articulation is beyond stupendous..

3. Discovering creating writing skills through Ted Talks:

I believe The Ted Talks channel on YouTube is much more than Emotional Intelligence based learning platform, It really gives you numerous worldviews to delve about a particular subject… This week I watched this one video by John Dufresne called 'How to write a story’ and I’ll share you the link to it:

For anyone who wants to enhance their writing and articulation skills, this video will really provide you the metrics for it…
