The End is really near... GCE 'O' Levels are here and this is your final dash and run to the finishing line. All the best and I wish you the very best of luck! I have also attached a handout for your final download/ reference on the following weblink: http://myenglishcafe.pbwiki.com
Look for the EL Link that says "Linking Words". It is a MS Word File that contains some useful terms that will be helpful for summary. Please also read through all my old notes and remember some useful vocabulary terms to describe your characters.
Remember:
- Appearance
- Characteristic
- Mentality
For Situational Writing, please remember the "8 Elements"
1. Given Situation (Context)
2. Given Information (Tables, Diagrams, Speech Bubble etc)
3. Task (Report, Article, Speech etc)
4. Your Role (Who are 'you' in the given situation?)
5. Audience (Who are you addressing?)
6. Requirements (Items to fulfill and address in the written task)
7. Formats (Refer to 'Templates' Handout)
8. Style/ Tone (Persuasive, Polite, Courteous, Enthusiastic)
Comprehension-
1. Read Question very careful- You can do selective lifting but it cannot exceed a phrase (7words).
2. If asking for in your own words- please do not lift any word from the passage or even alter the verb form of the word. use a totally different word to substitute!
3. Summary- Cambridge is quite generous with this- there are usually more than 15 points. So finding 15 will not be a problem at all. Remember to count and write the number of words at the end of it. Do not cheat. Examiners will check.
All the best 4F!! :D
