lpx88 SG

Haha well different people have different preferences.You normally do which qn?

felirox SG

mid year and prelims i did those oen topic qn..then i realised i scored average marks. so this coming monday,i think i'll be doing the narrative qn. well for expository qn,if you're very good in english,there's no obstruction for you to do tt qn... I really hope this monday eng paper 1 compo topics wont be an absurd one.

wonderamazement SG

Start off with quotes? Or a view expressed by someone…

lpx88 SG

Oh...Those 1 topic is those questions where they give u a topic to discuss on 1 ah? AKA Expository/Argumentative qns la..Icic...Cause i when i wrote it for prelims tcher say my conclusion CMI. So pulled down about 1 mark or so

felirox SG

but my teacher told me one topic qn u can either write expository essay or create a story with tt one word and i did the 2nd option.

lpx88 SG

Oh ya...those type of qns yep...Besides memorising formats for letter writing u doing anything else 2 prepare for monday's papers?

I'll say this, its the O levels now, and i think its best not to attempt something that hasnt reaped quite good results before, im sure you dont want to risk losing marks because of that. its not as if this were the prelims, if you understand what im getting at

but hey, im just stating an opinion, you dont need to listen to me Very Happy . i'll be doing narrative, cause thats my forte

felirox SG

well,learn some new vocabs and how to apply them and read model compositions? as for compre,just practice doing the tys?
