TIPS

Directed Writing 1  Make sure you know all the format for each task required.     E.g.  formal letter, informal letter, report, article, speech and recount.   2  Remember to use all the points given.  Add some elaboration.     3  Do not spend too much time on this essay and neglect your CW.   Continuous Writing   1  Prepare two short stories of your own, just in case there is no other

choice.       A happy story and a sad story.  Do not memorise from the workbook or

anywhere else.    If you need to do that, change the ending, and the characters.

ESSAY WRITING – TIPS FOR SUCCESS• There are no shortcuts to writing good essays.  

1 - Answer the question Do not try to memorise an essay and use it as an answer.

2 - Be original Try not to use the usual boring plot that you have read before.  I always tell my students to relate real life experiences or write it from the heart.

3 - Don't thesaurize your composition Some students like to use bombastic words all over their essays.  It can make the essay very awkward if the vocabulary used is inapt.

4 - Spend some time on your introduction Plan your introduction carefully so that it grabs the attention of the reader.  Stay away from the "Everyone in this world......" introduction.

5 - Body paragraphs must relate to your introduction Make sure that your introduction leads to the paragraphs and all your paragraphs are cohesive.  Plan for only one main idea for each paragraph.

6 - Use transition Use transition markers to begin each paragraph as well as within the paragraph to ensure the smooth flow of the essays.

7 - Remember to write a good conclusionRemember to end your essay with an appropriate conclusion.  You can summarise your points, state the implication of a certain issue or state your hope for the future.

8 - Time managementSpare some time to check your work.  Watch out for spelling errors, grammatical errors esp tenses.

Read the question and understand it Draw a box, highlight or underline the lines to be

summarized (eg. From lines 13 – 43) Read the text again and underline or highlight the content

points Do not try to rephrase if you are not very good in English. It

is better toselect intelligently and join the sentences with connectors.

Content = 10 marks Language = 5 marksSo, it is better to go for content. If the sentences are lifted intelligently, you will get about 2 marks for language.

Memorise some synonyms as they are useful to replace single words. This will help you get more marks for language. 

Do keep within the word limit as points after 130 words are not taken into account.
