The grade-9 habit 🌟
For the top marks, keep **two groups of words** clear and linked. First, the **jobs** - who someone is: દાક્તર (daktar) doctor, ઇજનેર (ijaner) engineer, શિક્ષક (shikshak) teacher, ખેડૂત (khedut) farmer. Second, the **words about work** itself: કામ (kaam) work, નોકરી (nokri) job, પગાર (pagar) pay, તક (tak) opportunity. Learn each with its script AND transliteration, and you will recognise them instantly in the exam.
