Hi,

Please provide us with the specific essay question, so that we could reply relevantly according to its context. A general treatment method is never a good strategy for something that could be subjective.

Thanks.

Cheers,

Short answer : Yes

Personal recount is written as 1st person whereas narrative may be written in both 1st person and 3rd person depending on the marker. But I would advise you to always stick to 1st person for personal recount and 3rd person for narrative since u are probably taking the O levels. Grammar and tenses are the same for both qns except for the pronoun.

What wenshih say is true ,

this is very subjective .Depends on how the question is asked

for example "Describe an incident you are forced to admit mistake over things you have not done "
