Dear Aunoo,
Spur means to encourage somebody to try harder to achieve something. In the heading 'President spurs MPs', President wants to encourage MPs so that they may try hard to achieve their goal.
Bigotry is a noun that means the state of feeling or the act of expressing, strong, unreasonable beliefs or opinions. The sentence 'keeping Bigotry out' suggests staying that feeling or action out or avoid them.
Hope this clarification will help u to understand the words.
Thanks a lot for your interest to explore the meanings of the words.

NJ Mam,
what's the short-cut method of learning English? we are very busy with Exam. duty (A-D)
-
BCdas Sir,
I'm also busy with 12 duties. you might get 'off' duty in some slots. But I'm not getting any. In the previous semesters, specially when u r in the xam commitee, u probably noticed that I had the duties both in Science faculty & English Dept.
Short-cut method is not always good & truly speaking, there's no short-cut for learning English. you'll get lots of 3-month course in English. From that course u may learn only the basic of the language. If u want to be skilled in English..u've to go through a regular practice.
Thanks Bidita for making a contribution in this topic!
