PREFACE
“Way to success leads to success”
We are very happy and pleased to publish new updated version (for the year 2014-15)
of ‘Way to Success, A Complete Reference Guide’ for 10th English (both for paper I & II).
This idea sprouted due to the support of many students, parents and teachers who
benefited by our famous study material, which is published in www.kalvisolai.com during
the year 2011-12. ‘Way to Success–Complete Guide for 10th English’ was published in the
year 2012-13 and it was get updated in the year 2013-14. Large number of Students
benefited and began to use Way to Success as their sole companion in these two years.
Now we are proudly publishing new updated version of Way to Success Complete guide
for the year 2014-15. Every year we introduce innovative ideas and methods in our
product.
We have conducted ‘Model Public Examination’ for 10th English in February 2014.
Nearly 1500 students were benefitted. Rs. 50,000 worth prizes were distributed to
encourage the students to face the Public Examination boldly.
All our books are published by ‘Way to Success Trust’, a non-profit organisation.
The main aim of the trust is to enrich the student and teacher community.
“Destiny of our nation lies in the class rooms only”. In order to help the students
from rural community, we render this material with new innovations.
It’s a Self-learning Material in bilingual approach. Each unit is dealt with properly
based on the Government syllabus and Question pattern.
Our innovation is the ‘Practice Book’ which is supplied with this Study material. It
gives training to face the Public Examination boldly.
We assure you that this guide will serve you like a good friend to enhance your
dreams in the near future.
Our sincere thanks to Mr.K.K.Devadoss (www.kalvisolai.com), Mr. S.Mariappa
Pillai (Teacher) for their kind support.
We thank the trustees of Way to Success Trust Mr.V.Somu, Mr.K.Rajamanickam
Santha, Mr.A.Rajagopal Malarjothi, Mrs.M.Saraswathi, Mrs.H.Priyadharshini and
Selvi.C.Subha Anthoniammal who permitted and helped us to publish this book
successfully.
Best Wishes to All.
