English Literature এর উপর আমি খুব বেশি জোর দেয়ার পক্ষপাতী না।কারণ এটা লিখিত বা অন্য কোথাও কাজে দিবে না।এছাড়া পিএসসিও চাবে না কেউ Literature অনেক অনেক মুখস্ত করে ইংলিশ এ পার পেয়ে যাক।আমার মনে হয়, সর্বোচ্চ ৭০% কমন থাকতে পারে। PSC এখন vocabulary, বিশেষত communicative English এর উপর বেশি জোর দিচ্ছে। ৩৫, ৩৬ তম বিসিএস এর প্রিলি ও লিখিত সেটার ইঙ্গিত দেয়।
