What is bad writing? One definition of bad writing is that it only entertains but does not edify. It does not raise 'important questions' regarding political or social ills but, instead, runs away from them. Put simply, bad writing reinforces popular attitudes even if it's at the cost of harming a cultural fabric. Bad writing's goals are self-serving. ________________________ (
a) It aims to make money for its publisher and author and win popularity for its writer without caring two hoots about the greater common good or making the reader think beyond the text.
(b) Good writing - especially fiction – on the other hand - is as man-made and culturally-constructed method of enquiry used to analyse and judge one's views.
(c) However, no text - and, by extension, an author - is universally or eternally good or bad.
(d) Thus, if good writing is to prevail, 'good writers' must slug it out in the open with 'bad writers'.

1-Policy failures come in many shapes and sizes. But they are almost invariably accentuated by the choices that have to be made in periods of financial shortage. Yesterday the coalition government found itself confronted by two of them, one in policing policy and the other in higher education. The failures are radically different in many details. But they have this in common: they are both serious failures, and they were both foreseeable. They could both have been mitigated by clearer policymaking at an earlier stage. ________________________ (
a) On the policing cuts, it is the opinion that Britain has more police officers than it needs.
(b) Instead each has been allowed to fester and become more difficult to solve politically.
(c) Downing Street must be thanking Prince Andrew for providing some distraction.
(d) Police numbers have increased without proper regard to social need.

It seems Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's top scientific adviser CNR Rao and his band of merry men - three reputed scientists from top scientific institutions of the country - have been cherry picking some interesting material from the work of other scientists and passing them off as their own. This is not the first time, people - reputed (and talented) people that is - have been caught doing such things. Often people - the kind-hearted ones - say imitation is actually the sincerest form of flattery. ________________________ (
a) But the truth is, not many people find it amusing when they find that their work has been picked up by someone else without giving them any credit.
(b) To cut a long and not-a-plagiarized-story short, the Indian scientists have apologized to Advanced Materials, a prestigious journal, for “reproduction of text from an article” that appeared in another journal, Applied Physics Letters, in 2010.
(c) In other words, the scientists forgot to issue a 'footnote' that the four contentious lines were picked up from another source.
(d) But the thing about plagiarism is that it is considered so if the offenders are caught.

Guys ..can some one tell which mockseries is best?what about Vistamind?
In an age of hurry like ours the appearance of an epic poem that is more than five thousand lines in length cannot but be regarded as remarkable. Whether such a form of art is the one most suited to our century is a question. Edgar Allan Poe insisted that no poem should take more than an hour to read, the essence of a work of art being its unity of impression and of effect. Still, it would be difficult to accept absolutely a canon of art, which would place the Divine Comedy on the shelf and deprive us of the Bothwell of Mr. Swinburne.
(a) For even on ortolans who could endure oratory? (
b) The subject of a work of art has, of course, nothing to do with its size.
(c) A work of art is to be estimated by its beauty, not by its size.
(d) We cannot help this.
Afghanistan is so dependent on foreign aid that it could face an economic crisis when the West ends its military intervention in the country in 2014, a United States Senate report warned yesterday, criticizing the way the US had sunk billions into unsustainable projects in the shattered country. The US is spending $320m (£195m) a month in Afghanistan on reconstruction projects alone and has spent $18.8bn since it invaded in 2001. President Barack Obama's administration has requested a further $3.2bn for projects in the coming fiscal year.
(a) The U.S. program of assistance to Afghanistan confers long-term stability to the Afghan geopolitical environment and blunts popular support for extremist forces in the region.
(b) Hence, there are plans to increase direct funding, but only when ministries are able to execute the development funds that they do receive, and do so accountably.
(c) However, a number of humanitarian situations in Afghanistan, most stemming from the years of war that preceded the U.S. intervention, need to be addressed first.
(d) Yet the expensive nation-building efforts haven't utilized Afghanistan's resources effectively.
