Is kitab ke baare mein
This is the official Class 12 English textbook from the Balochistan Textbook Board, Quetta, compiled under the National Curriculum 2006. It contains 17 reading units that mix prose, poetry and a play: it opens with The Last Address of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ), moves through stories like The Caliph and the Gardener, The Blanket and Hatchet, essays like Patriotism, Dignity of Labour and Gender Inequality, poems including The Spider and a Fly, If, The Rubaiyat of Omer Khayyam and It Couldn't be Done, and closes with the play And Now Miguel and the speech I have a Dream!
Every unit is built around the same skills framework: Reading and Thinking Skills (comprehension, scanning, skimming, inference), Writing Skills (essays, research reports, business letters, job applications and resumes), Oral Communication (presentations, interviews) and a Grammar, Pronunciation and Vocabulary section (participles, tenses, narration, active-passive voice and more). A glossary and a teacher's guide round out the book.

Ustad ka mashwara
Bacho, English mein number lene ka tareeqa: har lesson ke comprehension questions khud likh kar tayyar karo, aur grammar wala hissa roz thoda thoda parho — ek din mein sab ratne se nahi hoga. Poems (If, The Spider and a Fly) ke central idea aur poet ke bare mein 4-5 lines lazmi yaad rakho, paper mein pooche jate hain. Writing skills wale hisse — essay, application, resume — ki practice copy mein likh kar karo; sirf parhne se haath nahi banta.
