You can pursue masters degree in English (M.A. in English). After that you can be a lecturer or a teacher. Lecturer job is a promising one both in government and private sector.
Apart from this you can pursue MBA after graduation. Several exams like CAT, XAT, SNAP are conducted every year. Many B-schools accept the marks of these exams. One thing to be kept in mind is that even Maths is asked in these exams.  But you could work on it with a bit of effort. You could join a coaching to improve yourself in Maths. The reason why I am emphasising on MBA entrance exams is that these also consists of English as a section. Since you are an English graduate, you will be having a better edge over this section compared to other students.
You can also go for journalism. You can pursue masters degree in journalism from a reputed college. There are different courses available for journalism. Find out what will be good for you. Some of the career options after journalism are news anchor, RJ, reporter in newspapers and news channels, dialogue writer etc.

All these exams consists of English section which will be an advantage for you. Government jobs are quite reliable as well as respectable.
You can work as a career counselor. You can go for freelance writing job. You can be an author.
You can open up a coaching class. Coaching classes need a bit of struggle in the beginning but once you are well established, it's quite a lucrative job. You can also open up a spoken English class and help people improving their spoken English. Lots of private firms and private banks are always in search of English graduates.

Daily Vocabulary Dose (DVD)

Hello readers! Having a good knowledge of vocabulary is of great use. It helps you in many ways. Good knowledge of vocabulary makes your speech and writing piece even more influential. Moreover if you are going to appear in competitive exams then you must have a good knowledge of vocabulary. Questions involving synonyms and antonyms will test your word power. But what can you do to improve your word power? I personally feel that learning the dictionary may not be a good idea for most of us. I have seen people trying to learn dictionary and then giving up soon. There are countless words in the English dictionary. Do you think you can learn all of them? Well, there are people who have managed to learn the dictionary as well. But lets try to do something realistic which helps the majority.
Here at The Learning Era I have come up with a solution to help my readers. I am introducing Daily Vocabulary Dose (a.k.a DVD).  I will be picking up words from newspaper everyday and writing their meaning. Along with that I will frame sentences using those words to give you a better understanding of the meaning of the word. This way if we learn ten new words everyday it means we are going to learn three hundred new words every month. Remember to bring out any significant change in our knowledge of vocabulary we need to be very persistent. With consistency we will improve our knowledge of vocabulary to a great extent.
Happy Learning! :)

Let's Celebrate Women's Day

Hello all the readers of The Learning Era! Wishing all of you a very Happy Women's Day. This is a day worth celebrating. We are so lucky to find women around us. I feel lucky to be born as a girl. A woman can play several roles. She could be a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a wife, a counselor, a guide. Its an age old saying that God couldn't be everywhere so he created mother. Such is the importance of women in our life. Today women are excelling in every field. They have not only restricted themselves to household chores but have shown their capabilities beyond that too. We hear successful stories of so many women. After two months from now when results of board exams will be declared, we will get to see the newspapers filled with stories of the girls making it to the top. Women have made their way to top industries. We have seen women topping exams as tough as civil services. The roles of women have changed significantly in the past few years. The views of the society towards women have also changed. Yes, at many places we are still not able to show equality towards women but I am not focussing on the darker side now. 

While talking about the achievements of women, I must take out some time to praise their families as well. I read somewhere "behind every successful woman is a family who believed in her and not the society". It feels great when I see a father saying that he is more focused towards getting his daughter well educated than towards getting her married. I also feel happy when I see a married girl appearing for exams. The scene when her husband comes to drop her to the examination center and wishes her good luck for the exams. Its a live example of watching India developing. 

I said in the beginning of this article that this day is worth celebrating. But can you tell me how are you celebrating this day? Are you going to cook food today and not letting the ladies of your house enter the kitchen for a day? Or are you going to buy some gift for them? Think about it. Is it enough to thank the women for all that they have done for us? Is one day enough to celebrate the importance of women in our life? The simple answer is NO! But then the question arises what can we do to honour the women whose presence in our lives make it worth living? Well, we don't have to do much. We just have to take few resolutions and implement them in our life.  Yes, you heard it right! Who said only new years are for talking the new year resolutions? Let's together take some resolutions to make the women feel special. Let me tell you about a resolution I took this year. I am not going to attend any "dahej wali shadi". I won't attend any marriage involving dowry in any form. And I feel that its the simplest yet quite effective way of protesting against dowry system. We all have read about women being burnt alive for dowry. There are parents who are ready to give huge amount of dowry but are not willing to spend on their daughter's education. We should also take a resolution of not judging a girl on the basis of her clothes. Just because she is not wearing traditional salwar kameez, doesn't mean she is characterless. Respect a girl irrespective of what she wears. Another great resolution for women's day will be to include the women in the discussions going on in the house. The discussion could be about anything between an upcoming family function to the financial matters and managing the budget. Gone are those days when women were supposed to do only household chores. Involve women in discussions and they may come up with some extraordinary ideas. Encourage woment of your house or whom you know to learn various skills. Encourage them to be self sufficient. Make them learn skills like driving and self defense. Have you seen women lifting weights in the gym? Don't consider women to be weak. And that will be the best way to give them a feeling of equality.

How are you celebrating this women's day? Share your ideas with me through the comment.

ASK THE LEARNING ERA: i am studying in 9th std... and i need a big help in writing section of english exams.....my teacher told me to read books,i read books also.but i am only able to score btveen 50to 55s out of 70 marks exams.....could u plzz tell me something to improve my writing skills????quick ans plzzz

Hey there! If you are scoring somewhere between 54-55 out of 70, it means that you are scoring approximately 80%. This isn't a bad marks though there are chances of improvement. Keep one thing in mind that the teacher should use red ink in your answer sheet only for giving tick marks. Don't give the teacher any scope of pointing out mistakes in your answer sheet. Pay special attention to grammar. Remember grammar is not only important in the grammatical section of English exam but all the other section ad well.  Tense and narration are very important part of grammar. If you don't have command over these seconds you are likely to lose your marks. Observe where you tend to lose your marks in writing section. Do you lose your marks because of the content or because of grammar. Don't make your sentences too long. Try using simple language. Avoid grammatical mistakes. Don't keep rewriting the same thing just for the sakw of filling up your answer sheet. These are few general tips to score more in English. Hope it helps.

Happy learning! :)
