As we all venture into the heretofore unexplored world of the English Standard Grade prelim, a few last minute pieces of advice:
* Read Close Reading questions carefully, ensuring you are ABSOLUTELY sure what the question is asking you to do. Highlight or underline key parts of the questions if need be.
* An expression is only a few words long - not normally a whole sentence.
* If the question says 2-1-0, your answer should have two parts.
* Compare = look at the similarities (REMEMBER: 'PAIR'), contrast = look at the differences.
* Revise different types of imagery and sentence structure.
* Never choose questions which ask you to write an article, or 'give your views' in the writing paper.
* ONLY CHOOSE ONE QUESTION IN WRITING.
* Remember to use plenty of descriptive words and imagery to set the scene and describe character in creative writing.
* Reflect on the experience you had in personal writing.
* Take a couple of minutes at the end to make sure you've paragraphed your work properly.
GOOD LUCK!!
