leave 40mins for summary.

dun leave the last few 10/20 mins for summary.

for qtns...needs training one...+ skills
use ur own words -> find the sentence, change keywords...
for others, juz copy straight from passage.

by right, questions are supposed to guide you in summary...so still must do qtnts then summary.

I draw lines last time so that each line write 5 words

Then I write inside. Very easy to count number of words. From there u do your cancellations and changes so that it is within the word limit. Then if got time, rewrite everything nicely. If no time, just submit it

O level you did the same or what...?

=/ mid year i did this and some teacher came up to me..."Is this your draft? You have to write it in a paragraph."

from that time onwards, i never use that thingy liao.

Summary - 25m too.

15m - content
10m - language...
