Unidentified SG

didn’t you listen in class when your teacher is talkin ?

joeacid SG

Hmm... can anyone teach me how to approach the question?
i've went to the library to search for infos. And i've gotten information on the theories and concepts of consumer demand and the theories on the movements and shifting of the demand curve.

But even after combining all the 5-6 books info, i realised that all of them are similar(I know Coz IT IS similar). But, having to do this question with 2000 words and 100 marks.... zzz i really dunno.

Can anyone tell me how to approach it? or the bone of the question? Thanks Smile

you can use examples in your paper to add up to 2000words.

joeacid SG

ic... but i can't be using too many examples to cover it up right? Very Happy
Any other ways? Smile

p|gGyPeN SG

I'm sure there's enough to make up 2000 words from all that you've looked up the 5-6books

unless you're on the wrong track or that the 5-6bks are not econs text Mr. Green

joeacid SG

nono, i mean those demands theories are all ard the same.
And to beat ard the bush for the whole 2000 words after i've done with those needed stuffs are useless mah. So, i'm trying to figure out to deal with that.

The curfe for the supply is going down, while the curfe for demand is going down. Slowly do and you’ll know.

alamak...so easy...1of the basics of econs lo...
move along curve due to PRICE CHANGE!
whoole demand curve hftts becoz of non-determinants of demand!!

This is one of the reason why you need Social Studies Essay Questions when you are in Secondary School.

zzz do u guys really understand what i'm asking?
I'm referring to those, "u know who" who are not answering to wat i'm asking. u shld know who u are.

Like i said earlier, i already understand the basics of everything abt the demand curve but its the marks and the number of words that is giving me problem. Can any1 give me some advise? Very Happy

Ask your previous teacher who taught you Accounting/Economics lor.

joeacid SG

i tried, but they say its an assignment, so they cant teach anything~ and what u mean by previous teacher? =.=

^spidee^ SG

This is a rough idea of how to break it up:

1. Introduction (100 - 200 words)

- define the basics of economics (eg. it is a social science)
- give brief intro of how consumer demand creates markets for commodities by combining it with supply.
- end introduction by specifying what issues you are going to address in the body of the essay (you can either rephrase/repeat the question asked, so that the reader understands what you are going to address later)

2. Body (1500 - 1700 words)

- list, define and explain the various theories on consumer demand
- illustrate and discuss the difference between the 2 curves.

3. Conclusion (100 - 200 words)

- basically a summary of what you've written in the body.

Hope this helps! Mr. Green

joeacid SG

hmm... thanks alot~! This is something like what i'm looking for~! hehe thanks Mr. Green

^spidee^ SG

no problem! hope you get a distinction! Mr. Green

joeacid SG

yuko-ogura SG

Which book is that?

Oh apart from that... since there's this plagism rules ard there, so i can't really copy also. And like u said, it really looks like a 25m question and that is the main problem i hav here. It shldn't be a problem if its really a 25m. Now that its 100m + 2000 words, it really gave me headache~ Sad

redspot books are highly recommended for O lvl and A lvl students.can be found in popular bookstores.

at least it works for me.failed geog like mad during prelims but read the redspot guides.managed to hit a distinction for geog during O lvls.dat book power right?

hmm..not asking ya to copy..know the meaning of reference?u can get ur way thru being undiscovered if u do it the smart way. Smile

nono..dun get me wrong..it sure looks like a yearly essay qn i see in A lvl books.the key is..one answers it according to the marks allocated.

25 marks..u give key contents to this qn.more like skeleton.

wad do u expect to see for a 100-mark essay then?

details,details,details!fill in the flesh and the organs of the body urself though.i forgot all the econs stuff le.

to me,a 100-mark 1000-word essay would be to cover everything from tip to toe abt the qn the tcher asked u to do.

every tiny weeny details should be in.juz rmb to paragraph points,eg one paragraph for the factors leading to the shift of point on the demand curve and then sub-paragraphs for the explanation of the factors etc.examples and illustrations should be included to further elaborate and explain points too.

i wish u all the best. Wink
