Situational Writing Practice

This will be the last piece of marked situational writing piece you are writing in Secondary School. Please do the 2014 GCE O-level situational writing piece found here. 

1) Your response must be typed written on Google Doc in Arial Font, Font size 12. You should have a margin of 2.5cm all around. Leave a blank line when you start a new paragraph. Submissions in the wrong file format will not be marked.

2) You should write no more than 500 words. This is in line with the 2014 Cambridge examiner report that students who "...wrote in excess of the suggested word limit...did not necessarily increase the effectiveness of the content and frequently resulted in a rushed or incomplete Section C."

3) Upload your response here .

Those of you who submitted for the second submission for Project Ace and Project Beta, I intend to mark it and return it to you. You will get it back in time before I set the very final piece of written work for the class. My apologies for the delay.

Pre-prelim comprehension package

Dear students,

The answers to the comprehension practice package distributed in class can be found here. You can find the question papers in the same folder if you need them.

Two papers do not contain Section A. They came to us that way, with missing pages. So it is not a printing error.

This set of 5 practice papers should last you till Term 3 Week 9. You should aim to complete 3 papers before prelims as revision, and do the other 2 after prelim.
