Good luck for your English Paper tomorrow

Dear all,

All the best for your English papers tomorrow. A few more tips and recaps before you sit for the paper.


  1. For situational writing, please remember the different formats from email, letter writing, note to report writing and letter of complaint/compliment. Remember to sign off appropriately. 
  2. For composition, stick to simple words and sentence structures if you find that writing is a huge problem for you. Minimal mistakes is better than having lots of mistakes.  For those who have a problem developing stories, stick to picture compositions. Look at the characters and settings and elaborate on your ideas. Remember to give a main idea and the supporting details. 
  3. There should at least be 4 paragraphs! (Introduction, 2 for main ideas and details and one for conclusion)
  4. For your main paper, please use the PRE-READING THINKING ACTIVITY for your comprehension passages! You can use point forms to jot down what you know and what you want to know on a given space. Do not use the space on your comprehension open-ended question!
  5. Highlight key words and draw arrows. 
All the best. You can search the blog using the search function on the right hand side for recaps on situational writing / composition tips / synthesis and transformation / pre-reading thinking activity skills. 

All the best!

Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
