The Power of 'Must' vs 'Can'
In this text, we see how to tell people what is required and what is allowed. This is a key step for A2 learners to describe rules.
1. MUST (The Law) Use this when there is no choice.
- Students must learn three languages.
- New students must follow all rules.
2. CAN (The Option) Use this when it is possible or allowed.
- Students can keep their old languages.
Quick Shift: Must → 100% Necessary Can → It is possible
Words for 'Groups of People'
Notice how the text identifies specific people to make the rules clear:
- Students in Class 10 (Specific group)
- New students (New arrivals)
- Students with disabilities (Special needs group)
- Students from other countries (International group)
Pattern: [Person] + [Detail] = Clear Subject

CBSE Updates Implementation Plan for the Three-Language Policy
CBSE 更新三種語言政策的實施計劃
Introduction
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released new guidelines for the three-language policy required by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, offering temporary exemptions for certain groups of students.
中央中等教育委員會 (CBSE) 針對 2020 年國家教育政策 (NEP) 要求的三種語言政策發佈了新指引，為部分學生提供臨時豁免。
Main Body
The current rules require students to study three languages, emphasizing that at least two must be native Indian languages. To avoid sudden disruption, the board has introduced a gradual transition. For students who will be in Class 10 during the 2026-27 academic year, the old two-language system still applies. Furthermore, students currently in Classes 7, 8, and 9 have received a one-time relaxation; if they were already studying two non-native languages, they can keep that combination as long as they add one Indian language. For these students, the third language will only be assessed internally by the school and will not be part of the Class 10 board exam.
目前的規定要求學生學習三種語言，並強調其中至少兩種必須是印度本土語言。為了避免突然造成的混亂，委員會引入了逐步過渡的安排。對於在 2026-27 學年就讀十年級的學生，仍適用舊有的兩種語言制度。此外，目前就讀七、八、九年級的學生獲得了一次性寬限；如果他們已經學習兩種非本土語言，只要增加一種印度語言，即可保留該組合。對於這些學生，第三種語言將僅由學校內部評核，不納入十年級的董事會考試。
Full compliance with the policy will begin with the students entering Class 6 in 2026-27. These students and all future groups must take a board exam in the third language when they reach Class 10. To support this, NCERT is providing textbooks in 22 official Indian languages. Additionally, the board has allowed flexible hiring methods to solve teacher shortages, such as hiring retired teachers, using online lessons, and collaborating through school clusters.
全面執行該政策將從 2026-27 年進入六年級的學生開始。這些學生及未來所有年級的學生在進入十年級時，必須參加第三種語言的董事會考試。為了支持此項政策，NCERT 正提供 22 種印度官方語言的教科書。此外，委員會允許靈活的招聘方式以解決教師短缺問題，例如聘請退休教師、使用線上課程以及透過學校集群進行協作。
Certain exemptions have also been established for children with special needs, foreign students returning to India, and CBSE schools located outside of India. These changes follow a period of confusion after a previous order in May demanded immediate implementation. This order was challenged in the Supreme Court, where judges agreed to review the case due to logistical problems and academic difficulties for students.
針對特殊需求兒童、返回印度的外籍學生以及位於印度境外的 CBSE 學校，也設立了特定豁免。這些變動是因為先前 5 月的指令要求立即執行，導致了一段時間的混亂。該指令在最高法院遭到挑戰，法官考量到後勤問題與學生面臨的學業困難，同意對該案進行審查。
Conclusion
In summary, the CBSE has moved from a strict immediate requirement to a phased approach, providing relief to current students while preparing for full implementation starting with the 2026-27 Class 6 intake.
總結來說，CBSE 已從嚴格要求立即執行轉為分階段實施，在準備 2026-27 年六年級起全面推行之餘，也為現有學生提供了緩衝。

⚡ The 'B2 Bridge': Moving from Simple to Precise
At the A2 level, you likely say: "The school changed the rules because there were problems."
To reach B2, you need to use Formal Transition Verbs and Nuanced Nouns. Look at how this article transforms simple ideas into professional English.
🔍 The 'Upgrade' Table
| A2 Style (Simple) | B2 Style (Precise) | Why it's better |
|---|---|---|
| Change | Implementation | Describes the process of putting a plan into action. |
| Help / Give a break | Exemptions / Relaxation | Specific legal/official terms for 'not having to do something'. |
| Problem | Logistical difficulties | Explains why there is a problem (organization/timing). |
| Start | Phased approach | Shows that something happens in steps, not all at once. |
🛠️ Linguistic Focus: "The Power of the Passive"
B2 speakers use the passive voice to sound objective and official.
- A2: "Judges agreed to review the case." (Focuses on the people)
- B2: "This order was challenged in the Supreme Court." (Focuses on the action/event)
The Logic: In professional writing, what happened is often more important than who did it.
🚀 Quick Shift: From 'Easy' to 'Academic'
Try replacing these common A2 words with the B2 alternatives found in the text:
- Instead of 'fast' use 'immediate' (e.g., immediate implementation).
- Instead of 'enough' use 'compliance' (e.g., full compliance with the policy).
- Instead of 'fix' use 'solve' or 'address' (e.g., solve teacher shortages).

The Central Board of Secondary Education Modifies Implementation Framework for the Three-Language Policy
中央中等教育委員會修改三語言政策的實施框架
Introduction
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued revised guidelines regarding the three-language formula mandated by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, introducing transitional exemptions for specific student cohorts.
中央中等教育委員會 (CBSE) 已針對 2020 年國家教育政策 (NEP) 規定的三語言方案發布修訂指南，為特定學生群體提供過渡期豁免。
Main Body
The current regulatory framework mandates the study of three languages, stipulating that a minimum of two must be native Indian languages. However, the board has instituted a phased transition to mitigate systemic disruption. For the 2026-27 academic cohort in Class 10, the existing two-language system remains operative. Students currently in Classes 7, 8, and 9 are granted a one-time relaxation; those previously enrolled in two non-native languages may retain that combination provided they incorporate one Indian language. Crucially, for these specific cohorts, the third language (R3) will be subject only to internal school-based assessments, with a formal exemption from the Class 10 board examination.
目前的監管框架要求學習三種語言，並規定其中至少兩種必須為印度本土語言。然而，委員會採取了分階段過渡，以減輕系統性干擾。對於 2026-27 學年的 10 年級學生，現有的兩種語言制度仍然適用。目前就讀於 7、8 和 9 年級的學生將獲得一次性寬限；先前選修兩種非本土語言的學生，只要納入一種印度語言，即可保留該組合。至關重要地，對於這些特定群體，第三語言 (R3) 僅需進行校內評估，正式豁免參加 10 年級的委員會考試。
Full adherence to the policy will commence with the cohort entering Class 6 in 2026-27. These students, and all subsequent batches, will be required to undergo a board examination in the third language upon reaching Class 10. To facilitate this, NCERT is providing dedicated textbooks in 22 scheduled Indian languages. To address potential pedagogical deficits, the board has authorized flexible staffing modalities, including the utilization of retired personnel, virtual instruction, and the leverage of Sahodaya school clusters.
全面執行該政策將從 2026-27 年進入 6 年級的學生群體開始。這些學生及隨後的所有批次，在進入 10 年級時將被要求參加第三語言的委員會考試。為了促進此項安排，NCERT 正在提供 22 種法定印度語言的專用教科書。為了解決潛在的教學不足，委員會已授權靈活的人事模式，包括利用退休人員、虛擬教學以及槓桿化 Sahodaya 學校集群。
Institutional exemptions have been codified for children with special needs under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016, as well as for foreign students returning to India and all CBSE-affiliated institutions located outside Indian territory. These adjustments follow a period of administrative volatility; a May 15 circular had previously mandated immediate implementation, which was subsequently contested in the Supreme Court. A bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has agreed to review petitions citing logistical inadequacies and academic hardship, with further hearings scheduled for July.
根據 2016 年《身心障礙者權利法》，針對特教需求兒童、返回印度的外籍學生以及所有位於印度境外之 CBSE 附屬機構，已將其豁免制度化。這些調整是在一段行政波動期後做出的；5 月 15 日的通告此前要求立即執行，但隨後在最高法院遭到質疑。由印度首席大法官 Surya Kant 領銜的法官小組已同意審查引用後勤不足與學業困難的請願書，進一步聽證會定於 7 月舉行。
Conclusion
The CBSE has transitioned from a rigid immediate mandate to a phased implementation strategy, providing temporary relief to current secondary students while preparing for full compliance starting with the 2026-27 Class 6 intake.
CBSE 已從僵硬的立即強制執行轉向分階段實施策略，為目前的就學學生提供暫時緩解，同時為 2026-27 年進入 6 年級起的全面合規做準備。

The Architecture of Bureaucratic Precision
To bridge the gap from B2 to C2, a student must move beyond meaning and master register. This text is a masterclass in Nominalization and De-personalization, the hallmark of high-level institutional English.
🧩 The Linguistic Pivot: From Action to Entity
B2 learners typically describe events using verbs (e.g., "The board changed how they implement the policy"). C2 mastery requires transforming these actions into abstract nouns to create a sense of objective authority.
Observe the shift in the text:
- "...introducing transitional exemptions for specific student cohorts" (Instead of: "allowing some students to wait").
- "...to mitigate systemic disruption" (Instead of: "so the system doesn't break").
- "...administrative volatility" (Instead of: "the administration kept changing its mind").
🔬 Analysis of 'Nominal Clusters'
Notice how the author stacks adjectives and nouns to condense complex legal realities into a single phrase. This is called lexical density.
"...flexible staffing modalities..."
- Flexible (Qualifier) Staffing (Functional attribute) Modalities (The abstract core).
By using modalities instead of ways or methods, the writer signals a level of professional distance and formality required in judicial or governmental discourse.
⚡ The 'C2 Upgrade' Matrix
To replicate this style, replace common verbs with their noun-based counterparts coupled with precise verbs of motion or state:
| B2 Approach (Active/Simple) | C2 Approach (Nominalized/Academic) |
|---|---|
| They wrote the rules. | The framework was codified. |
| It caused hardship. | It resulted in academic hardship. |
| They are using retired staff. | The utilization of retired personnel. |
| The court is looking at it. | The bench has agreed to review petitions. |
Scholarly Insight: C2 proficiency is not about using the 'biggest' word, but about the strategic removal of the 'human agent' to lend the text an air of inevitability and impartiality.
