HALL OF FAME

Janice glanced worriedly at her wrist watch. The time was already ten past seven. She had twenty minutes to make it to school on time. The sky was overcast. A slight drizzle rained down like a mist. It started raining cats and dogs as Janice reached the bus stop. She had ignored her mother’s advice to take an umbrella with her. She wondered how she was going to make itto school in the rain.

It was an idyllic Saturday morning. Fluffy white clouds hung in the clear cerulean sky. Granny Lucy was tottering to the market. Her heart was filled with light-hearted cheer and her mouth curled into a smile. She was looking forward to preparing a feast for her grandchildren, who were coming for dinner that night.

7 Essay Types at the O Level

Posted By Randall Chew

Hello everyone! I’m Mr Ng Guo Liang, an English Language Curriculum Specialist and Teacher at Lil’ but Mighty.

When I was still teaching in a secondary school, I often had to address many questions — from both parents and students alike — about the different composition or essay types being tested in the O Level examinations; chief amongst which were:

– What composition or essay types will appear in the O Level examinations? – What is the difference between a discursive essay and an argumentative essay? – What is the difference between a recount and narrative essay? – What is the difference between a descriptive and reflective essay?

There were (and are) of course, many other questions pertaining to composition writing for the O Level. The ones above however — those concerned with conceptualising the types of compositions — are the ones I have had to address the most. In this blog post therefore, I will list the various types of compositions that could be tested in the O Level English Language Paper 1, and attempt to very briefly describe each of them.

Before I continue, I must make a disclaimer. This post is not meant to be a comprehensive set of notes or guide detailing and explaining each individual essay type, their features, and nuances. I must make it very clear to my readers that what I write and elaborate on in this post should not be taken as the absolute and definitive word on the various essay types; we should note that different teachers, authors, publishers, and reference materials describe, explain, and conceptualise the various essay types differently (and very possibly with different terminology). That being said, the descriptions I’ll make in this post are meant only as a very brief explanation of the various types of essays so that you can better understand what they generally require students to address in the examination.

Should you wish to enquire about and discuss the individual essay types at a more comprehensive and deeper level than that provided in this post, you can do so with your English teacher in school, or contact us and we shall endeavour to address your queries!

In the O Level examination, the following essay types could be tested:

1. Narrative 2. Personal Recount 3. Descriptive 4. Reflective 5. Discursive 6. Argumentative 7. Two-Part Essays

1. Narrative Essays

Narrative essays, as the name suggests, are essays that narrate a story. Most students reading this post should, by the end of primary school, be familiar with narrative essays as this is perhaps the essay type that they see the most in primary school and in creative writing classes. These essays are generally fictional in nature, and adhere to how narrative stories are developed in terms of their plots (beginning —> build up —> climax —> events that lead to a resolution —> a resolution —> and a coda/conclusion). Although these essays are generally fictional, that is not to say that students cannot use their own experiences to address the question. As long as the experience is relevant to the question, and features a rising plot which leads to a resolution, students are free to use their own experiences to inspire the narrative essay.

Sample questions:

– Freedom. – A challenge. – Write a story about kindness. – ‘It was my proudest moment.’ Write a story based on this.

2. Personal Recount Essays

Similar to a narrative essay, a personal recount essay retells a series of events that should be written in a linear and sequential manner. A personal recount essay is not to be confused with a narrative one. Narratives are often fictional in nature, and generally adhere to a rising plot development structure (most often with a climax and resolution). Personal recounts however, are not fictional in nature, and often relate to an event or experience which is meaningful or memorable to you (in other words, you should have personally experienced or witnessed this event or experience taking place.) Depending on the question asked, it can, of course, include a plot structure with elements similar to a narrative. However, unlike narrative essay writing, it does not require students to adhere strictly to a rising plot structure.

Personal recount essays, by nature of the questions given, typically require students to include an element of reflection. This usually focuses on the impact and significance that an event or experience have on them, and their thoughts, feelings, changing beliefs and attitudes as the series of events unfold. Such reflections should be interspersed and woven in and between the paragraphs of the essay. This is different for narratives, where reflections typically appear in the coda.

– Write about an interesting day out with your family. – Write about a mistake you regret making. – Write about how you conquered one of your fears. – Write about a task which turned out to be more difficult than you initially thought. – Write about a time a great act of kindness took place.

3. Descriptive Essays

Descriptive essays contain and emphasise descriptive elements. That is to say, such essays are written to appeal to the five senses, and should create vivid mental images for the reader when it is being read. This genre goes beyond describing physical attributes, but abstract ones as well (e.g. feelings, ideas, or a situation), and often involves reflecting on why something or someone is special or important. Unlike narrative essays, descriptive essays do not require a plot structure or storyline. This essay type most typically require students to write about and describe in detail one of the following topics:

1. An object 2. A person 3. A place 4. An event or incident 5. An experience

– Describe an individual who has had a great influence on you. – Describe a memorable celebration. – Describe your typical day in school. – Describe an object which you hold dear.

4. Reflective Essays

Essays of this genre require the students to reflect on themselves. Despite the reflective element, this is not to be confused with a personal recount. Personal recounts require students to recount and reflect on an event or experience which actually took place. Reflective essays however, are not about an event or experience, but are more about the students themselves.

Reflective essays typically require students to reflect on and make observations about their own personality and character. As such, it is more philosophical and insightful in nature.

Sample Questions:

– What would you consider to be your best and worst qualities? – What is your idea of a perfect day? – What are the type of books you enjoy reading? – Write about some of the things you value most in life.

Expository Essays: Argumentative and Discursive Essays

The next two essay types fall under the category we call ‘expositions’. An expository essay is one that explores and considers in depth the different aspects and perspectives to a particular topic or subject matter. We typically see two types of expository essays appearing in the O Level examination: argumentative and discursive essays.

5. Argumentative Essays

In an argumentative essay, students are typically given an issue, topic, or subject matter on which they are supposed to take a clear stand, and argue for that stand they have taken. This essay type is ‘biased’ in that regard, and the aim of the essay is to persuade the reader, with the strength of their points and arguments, that the stand taken in the essay is the right one.

1. The key features of an effective argumentative essay are: 2. There must be a very clear stand taken on the topic/subject matter given in the question. 3. Points/arguments given are supported by facts, statistics, observations or examples. 4. Points/arguments appeal to logic and emotion. 5. Using a persuasive tone and register. 6. Considering the opposing views and being able to rebut or refute them – this makes an argumentative essay the most persuasive and effective.

– ‘People can only be happy if they feel they are treated fairly.’ Do you agree (2019 O Level 1) – Do you agree with the view that students should never engage in part-time work? – ‘Social media has destroyed communication.’ What is your opinion? – Who has more problems to deal with — adults or youths?

6. Discursive Essays

Like argumentative essays, a discursive essay focuses on and concerns itself with one particular topic or subject matter. Unlike the argumentative essay however, one is not required to take a stand on the subject matter. Rather than pushing for and validating only one particular perspective, students are required instead to discuss and explore the multiple perspectives regarding the subject matter in an unbiased manner.

What is important to note is that students can state a preference for a particular perspective or viewpoint at the end of the essay, but the tone and register of the essay should not be a persuasive one (i.e. the way the essay is written should not dominantly favour one particular perspective or viewpoint over others). It should be written in a manner which reflects that all the perspectives and viewpoints you discuss in the essay are equally valid (even if you do eventually state a preference for one at the end) — in essence, an effective discursive essay is one that achieves balance .

– What are the advantages and disadvantages of social media? – What are the qualities a good leader should have? – Discuss the implications of making home-based learning a permanent mode of education. – Discuss your views on discipline.

7. Two-Part Essays

As the name suggests, two-part essays are essays which could comprise features and elements of two different essay types. What you will typically see is a question which explicitly has two distinct and separate parts students would have to address. For instance, the question would not only require students to describe something or someone, but also require them to reflect on that particular thing they are describing in the essay; such that the essay becomes a ‘mixed-genre’ essay.

For two-part essays, students need to ensure that they address both parts of the question, and do not make the common mistake of devoting too much time and too many words to the first half of the question and neglecting the second half of the question.

– Write about a mistake you regret making. What lessons did you learn from it? – Describe an individual who has had a great influence on you. Why is this person so special to you? – Describe an object which you hold dear. Why is this object so important to you? – Write about a time you were misunderstood by others. How did you feel?

This brings us to the end of this blog post. Although there is much more to the respective essay types regarding their features and styles, I hope that I have managed to provide you with brief but lucid explanations that will make it a little easier for you to understand the various essay types that could be tested in the O Level.

Until my next post, and on behalf of the Lil’ but Mighty family, stay happy, stay safe, and stay healthy!

Argumentative Essay | The Ultimate Guide | O Level (1123)

If you want to know how to write a perfect argumentative essay , you will love this complete step-by-step guide I am about to share with you.

In fact, these are the exact strategies I used to ace this question in my English exam.

So keep reading.

But first of all, let me give you a brief introduction to the topic.

We'll take a look at:

What is an Argumentative essay?

You have heard of an argument, right? In simple words, it is the opposition or disagreement over something.

Argumentative writing is a genre (category) of writing in which you either speak in favour of a topic or against it. Plus, you use facts and examples to support your point of view.

Pretty simple, isn’t it?

In short, a well-written essay will:

Have a compelling topic introduction to engage the readers
Have a fair analysis of both sides of the argument
Persuade the reader to consider a (new) different perspective

Do not worry! We will take a look at each of them in detail.

But first of all, let me tell you how to properly select a topic before writing.

How to select the “right” topic?

If you want to know, how to properly select a topic, this is for you.

Look, selecting a topic can be crucial . Here is a simple example for you:

Question 1 : ‘Sport is not just good for exercise – it teaches us lessons about values and behaviour.’ Do agree? Give reasons and examples to support your view.

Question 2 : ‘We should always obey rules, both inside and outside school: there is never an excuse for breaking them.’ What is your opinion? Give reasons and examples to support your opinion.

Let’s suppose that these were the topics you were to choose one from. What would you do? Here is a simple step-by-step guide for you.

First of all, read both the questions twice and underline the keywords.
Then, make a brief (but quick) mind-map . This will show you how much information you have for the particular topic.
Select the topic that you find more interesting (and of course, for which you have better arguments).

Note : During the exam, MANY students just skim through the question (because they think they are running out of time). You DO Not have to do this. Take your time and decide which topic you will attempt.

When you know which topic to write on, it is time to move straight on to the next topic.

Format of Argumentative Writing:

Here is the format that you are going to use in your writing, “ the five-paragraph structure “.

Let’s take a look at each of them in detail now:

Introduction
Body Paragraphs (for arguments and counter-arguments)

Before moving ahead, let me tell you that each of these three sections has a unique structure . Let me show you how.

Introduction:

What do you know about an introductory paragraph already? The first part of your essay explaining what you are going to cover?

But here is a catch.

The introductory paragraph for an argumentative essay is divided into three parts :

Part 1 : Hooking your reader (grabbing the attention)

Part 2 : Background information

Part 3 : Thesis statement

Let me explain each part to you in detail.

The first thing you are going to do is to engage your reader (grabbing the attention). Look, a good introduction is the one that entices (attracts) the reader.

But, how can you hook your reader? Here are the three things you can do:

Throw up questions :

Sometimes, a couple of questions straight away can be enough to grab your readers attention (as you will see in the example below ).

When you put questions in front of your readers at the start, chances are that they will go through the entire passage (essay) to find answers to those questions.

State a fact:

Think of this: Will you be engaged by the passage that mentions a fact or an interesting finding straight away?

I would! And good chances are that you would also be.

So if you know a fact about a topic , you can simply start off with that as well. For example, the first line for the topic “Is a university degree enough to get a good job?” can be:

“Do you know that graduates still out-earn people without degrees…”

Now, let’s move on.

The second thing you have to do is to give some background information .

Here’s why.

This will help your reader understand what the topic is all about . Plus, this information will also explain the main keyword as well.

So after grabbing your readers attention, give some background information so that your reader understands the main context and the problem.

When you are done with these two parts, move on to the third and the most important part of the introduction, the thesis statement .

In simple words, this statement lets your reader know about your viewpoint (opinion) about the topic.

And if I say that this one-to-two sentence statement presents the main idea of your essay, I will not be wrong. Plus, your thesis is the MOST important part of your introduction.

Note : Your thesis should be “crystal clear”. This means that you should clearly give your opinion about the topic.

Body Paragraphs:

An argumentative essay contains three body paragraphs (can be more) that give reasons and explanations on why you support your thesis.

Plus, you also give one or two counter-arguments (the arguments that oppose your thesis) to create a balance.

You should know that a typical paragraph contains a topic sentence (telling why your reader should agree with your opinion), examples and studies etc.

Note : You will apply the inverted pyramid technique over here. This simply means that you will give your strongest argument first (followed by the relatively weaker one).

Let’s take a look at this example:

Here is a paragraph in favour of the topic: “ Skills are more important than knowledge “.

Einstein said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge…” He further explained that knowledge is limited, while imagination encircles the world. All the information in this world is useless unless it is used in creative ways. For example, if a person knows a lot of facts, it is impressive. But, it is not useful. On the other hand, skills make information management and innovation (the most desired in the business world). In short, skills are what bring about development because they are practically applicable.

Now, here is a counter-argument paragraph for the same topic.

However, some people say that knowledge is more impotent than skills. The reason being is that skill is the end product of knowledge. If you have good knowledge about how to set a camera for a shoot, then you can practice that knowledge and the practice over time will make you skilful for that work. And since knowledge is an accumulation of experiences, it is more important.

In short, you support your thesis (that you made in the introduction) in the body paragraphs.

This takes us straight to the next part, the conclusion.

The Concluding Paragraph:

I have a question from you: What do you know about a conclusion, apart from that it is the last paragraph of your essay?

Let me tell you.

This is the paragraph where you re-state your thesis . Plus, you also give a brief summary of the arguments you made in the essay above.

Remember that conclusion is NOT the place to introduce new points. In fact, to write a good conclusion, you will have to appeal to your reader’s emotions.

We will take a look at all this with the help of an example.

Here is the concluding paragraph for the topic: “Skills are more important than knowledge.”

“In short, yes skills are more important than knowledge because skills can be practically applied. Moreover, skills lead towards development and birth innovation. But, knowledge is also important if it is practically applied.”

With this, let me share some amazing tips for you if you want to ace this topic in your exam.

Tips for Argumentative Writing:

Make your thesis crystal clear .

As I said above as well, you HAVE to state your thesis clearly.

For example, if you agree that “money can’t buy you happiness”, then state clearly : In my opinion, Yes! money cannot buy you happiness.

As just a quick reminder for you, the thesis will be mentioned in the introduction as well as the conclusion.

Be convincing .

Here’s a deal.

If you want your essay to stand out, you have to be persuasive (convincing). But, how can you do so?

Firstly, remember that people are easily persuaded by logic. Therefore, you have to give strong arguments in favour of your claim.

Quick Tip : Before writing anything, make a rough draft where you write all the arguments you have. Then, shortlist the MOST convincing arguments.

The second thing you can do is to use plenty of facts , examples and anecdotes (your personal story or experience) to support your claim.

Let’s suppose that you are writing on the topic: “University degree is more important than skill.”

In support of this argument, you could have stated that the 2016/17 HESA survey shows that 81% of people who finished their undergraduate degree three years ago are in full or part-time work.

In short, try to use case studies, facts and examples to support your opinion. Do not JUST give your opinion, but back it up as well.

Use effective transitions .

Now you might be wondering, what are effective transitions. These are the words (or phrases) that connect your ideas and paragraphs , effectively.

Simple isn’t it.

Effective transitions are essential if you want to create coherence (logic and unity).

Here is a list of transition words that you can use in your writing.

For similarity : In addition, In the same way, similarly, identically etc.

For Opposition : Besides, in contrast, on the contrary, unlike and above all etc.

For examples and support : For instance, specifically, to illustrate, undoubtedly and especially etc.

So, create unity and link between your arguments, as they help the reader to (better) understand your claim.

Avoid repetition :

Let’s be honest.

This is the biggest issue in argumentative writing. And, this problem can really impact your grade.

In simple words, repetition is talking about the same ideas (point) multiple times. This usually happens when you run out of unique ideas .

Remember that repetition makes your response unconvincing . Here is how can you deal with it:

First of all, make a rough draft before writing and write down all the points that come to your mind. When you will have all points in front of you, good chances are that you will not repeat any argument.

The second thing you can do is to read your writing aloud . Look, it is easy to lose track of what you are writing.

So when you read your work aloud, you will remember what you are writing . As a result, you will not repeat the same point.

Wrapping Up:

With this, our topic of how to write an argumentative essay has come to an end.

Now I turn it over to you.

Which part of this topic do you find the most challenging? Is it writing relevant facts or writing strong arguments. Do let me know.

Remember that this topic is very important from an examination point of view for GCE O Level English (1123). So, do practise a couple of past paper questions as well.

Thank you for reading and staying with me till the end. Stay tuned for more.

9 Tips for English Summary Writing (O Levels)

O-Level Comprehension: Summary Writing

The summary question is usually the last question in Paper 2 Section C (non-narrative comprehension) and it carries 15 marks. For this question, you are required to condense the main points of certain paragraphs into 80 words or fewer.

To score well for the summary question, you need to pay attention to the two main components that make up the marking rubrics: Content and Language. Content is worth 8 marks; Language is worth 7 marks.

So how do we go about maximising our scores for the summary question?

But before you go on reading… You might want to download a pdf copy of this article as it is quite long!

1. Allocate Sufficient Time for Summary

Students with poor time management tend to leave very little time for summary and end up having to rush through the segment.

As a result, they either write a half-baked summary, or worse, not attempting it at all. This is such a pity because it is not difficult to score well for the summary question. A well-planned and well-written summary can mean the difference between an average Paper 2 score and an excellent one.

So allocate 25 – 30 mins for it. Give it the time it deserves!

2. Use Synonyms of Question Keywords to Help You Search for Content Points

It’s crucial that you identify the focus of the summary question. To write any good response, you first need to know the question requirements.

After you identify the keywords in the question. try penning down synonyms for these keywords.

This is helpful because the passage very often uses synonyms of the keywords as signposts or signal words. This makes your task of searching for content points much easier!

Do not make the fatal mistake of diving into your search for points without fully understanding the question. You might include the irrelevant points or miss out on a potential content point.

Let’s apply this tip and see how we can break down the 2017 O-Level summary question:

3. Identify the Number of Parts That Constitute the Question

A summary typically consists of one or two parts. Here’s a table to show you the trend of past year summary questions:

Notice that the parts are joined by the conjunction “and”. This means that to identify the parts, you can simply look out for the word “and”!

Bonus tip: Most of the time, students are required to look for 4-5 content points per part. So tally up the number of points you have for each part and check if you’ve got 4-5 content points per part.

Now, let’s look at how to search for content points.

4. Search for Relevant Content Points

Don’t let exam stress take over. Firstly, select points only within the designated paragraphs! You will not be given credit for points from other paragraphs.

Do not rush your search.

For every sentence you come across, ask yourself if it addresses the summary requirements. If it does, label the content point; if it doesn’t, move on to the next sentence.

What if you’re not sure if it is a content point? When in doubt, make a little note. Perhaps you could add a question mark after labelling the content point.

Pay close attention to connectors, conjunctions, and transitional devices. They are signposts that help you determine whether the content point is relevant! Here are some common connectors that are found in text passages:

Connectors of addition: Additionally, also, and
Connectors of cause and effect: Thus, Therefore, so, because
Connectors of contrast: but, yet, however, nevertheless

Make sure you have at least 8 content points.

Bonus tip: Since content is worth 8 marks, it is recommended that you give an extra content point (9 points in total) just in case one of the content points is incomplete or inaccurately conveyed.

5. Leave Out Unnecessary Information

Many students have problem differentiating “important information” from “unimportant information”. “Everything looks important to me!” Does this sound familiar? If you try to include every detail in the text, you’re not doing it right. If everything is important, nothing is important. So, focus on the main points and leave the rest out.

Do not include the following in your summary (unless otherwise specified):

Examples are there to illustrate the author’s main point. They often come in the form of quotes, statistics, date, facts and figures, etc. Common connectors that are used as signposting include “for example”, “for instance”, “such as” or “like”. Include the main point; leave out the example.

Irrelevant details

Every detail must address the summary question. If it doesn’t, it is irrelevant. Be sure to ask and answer the question “Is this relevant to the summary requirements?” each time you label a content point!

Redundancy or repetition of ideas

The same point can be conveyed using different phrasing. Authors sometimes do this for emphasis. It’ll be your duty to recognise that the same idea is being repeated and to exclude that as a content point.

This brings us to the next problem — students not including necessary supporting details.

6. Do Not Leave Out Necessary and Important Details

Another common mistake is that students take only the main point and leave out supporting details of the point. This is a mistake when the details are important and necessary!

A main point without important details is considered an incomplete content point. This means you do not get awarded that content point.

Important reminder: Some students think that all adjectives and adverbs can be excluded. This is a misconception! It depends on the focus of the summary question; adjectives and adverbs are sometimes very relevant to the question. If so, remember to include them as part of your content point.

Here’s an example of how to apply Tips 5 and 6. Let’s practise using the summary question and text from the 2021 O-Levels:

Can you distinguish between the relevant and irrelevant details? Try this out on your own and compare your answers with ours on the next page.

The remaining points are found in the other paragraph. Now that you have learnt how to select content points, let’s move on to the next step!

7. Paraphrase by Changing Word Forms or Using Synonyms

Here’s a word of warning: it is not recommended to do a word-for-word substitution using synonyms. You risk distorting the meaning of the content point and this will cost you marks for both content and language! Only use synonyms if you are confident that they convey the same meaning and can be used in the same context.

Don’t fret if you do not have a wide vocabulary. A simple way to paraphrase is to play around with the parts of speech or word classes.

There are four main word classes: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Transforming words from one word class to another ensures that you retain the meaning.

It is recommended that you use a blended approach: combine the use of synonyms with the transformation of word classes.

Let’s look at an example using the 2021 O-Level summary question:

Robots can be used to support human activity when they…

The most important thing is that you have accurately conveyed the author’s meaning. Always prioritise securing your marks for content before considering ways to improve on your choice of synonyms.

Effective paraphrasing goes beyond basic word substitution. Simply using synonyms without paying attention to collocations and sentence structure can result in awkward expression, which will impact your marks for Language.

Bonus tip: do you know you can use antonyms to paraphrase too? For example, when describing a robot that “keeps on working”, we can use “working nonstop” or “working ceaselessly”. So when you can’t think of a synonym, try thinking of an antonym instead.

8. Use Linking Devices to Improve the Flow of Your Points

To bring cohesion to your summary and improve fluency, use sentence connectors to link your points together.

Addition connectors: and, additionally, furthermore, moreover, besides etc.
Cause-and-effect connectors: therefore, hence, because, thus etc.
Contrast connectors: however, although, yet, unlike, contrarily, whereas etc.

Be smart! Avoid using connectors that take up multiple words like “in addition”, “as a result”, “on the other hand” etc.

Using the right conjunctions or connectors can increase your language score 

9. Check Your Work!

After writing your summary, count the number of words and make sure you haven’t exceeded the word count.

Warning : All summary responses are counted and any content in excess of 80 words will be crossed out.

So what should you do if you have exceeded it? Check that your response does not include:

unnecessary details (examples, repeated ideas, irrelevant details);
long-winded expressions

As a rule of thumb, each content point should span an average of 10 words.

Lastly, run through this checklist of questions before submitting your work:

Did I make any Subject-Verb Agreement (SVA) errors?
Did I make any Tense errors?
Did I use any incomplete sentence fragments?
Did I use any comma splices?

Bonus tip: use a variety of simple, compound and complex sentences if possible.

This concludes our 9 tips on how to effectively tackle the summary question. Apply these tips when working on your summary practices to improve your confidence during exams. All the best for your exams!

6. Do Not Leave Out Necessary and Important Details attention

4 Summarise the ways in which robotic technology can be helpful to humans.

Use only information from Paragraphs 4 and 5.

There is no doubt that human beings have essential qualities that go beyond productivity – empathy, compassion, dedication, and the ability to make fine judgements, to name a few. These cannot be provided by a robot worker, meaning human beings are still essential in most fields of work. There is also a growing belief that we should seek to use artificially intelligent machines alongside human workers, allowing robots to, for example, retrieve dangerous materials that may harm a human. They could also do time-consuming, laborious jobs which demand a meticulous approach free from human error, such as inspecting every pipeline and bolt on a ship. Robots can also work in extreme environments, such as deep in the oceans or on hostile planets in outer space, where human limitations and vulnerabilities may hinder progress. Mining robots help save lives as they work deep underground, in addition to enhancing efficiency by mining around the clock, which can lead to increased profits.

# From the Passage Is this relevant? Reason — There is no doubt that human beings have […] to name a few. x This is about the qualities of humans, not robots. — These cannot be provided by a robot worker, meaning human beings are still essential in most fields of work. x No mention of how robotic technology is useful. — There is also a growing belief that […] alongside human workers, x No mention of how robotic technology is useful. 1 allowing robots to, for example, retrieve dangerous materials that may harm a human. √ Although the phrase “for example” is used, the “example” here is one way in which robots can be helpful.

It is a main point for this summary.

2 They could also do time-consuming, laborious jobs √ Definitely a main point. 3 which demand a meticulous approach free from human error, √ Notice that being meticulous and error-free is distinct from being “time-consuming” and “laborious”. This is therefore relevant additional information — such as inspecting every pipeline and bolt on a ship x Example of Point 2 4a Robots can also work in extreme environments, √ Definitely a main point. — such as deep in the oceans or on hostile planets in outer space, x Example of Point 3. 4b where human limitations and vulnerabilities may hinder progress. √ Explains why the robots’ ability to work in extreme environments is helpful to humans. Leaving this out renders the content point incomplete. — Mining robots help save lives as they work deep underground, √ Similar to Point 3; working deep underground is an example of “extreme environments”. Recommended to subsume this under Point 3. 5 in addition to enhancing efficiency by mining around the clock, which can lead to increased profits. √

Definitely a main point.

7. Paraphrase by Changing Word Forms or Using Synonyms Paraphrase

From the passage Paraphrased … retrieve dangerous materials that may harm a human. … handle hazardous substances which can threaten humans’ safety They could also do time-consuming, laborious jobs which demand a meticulous approach free from human error do time-consuming, labour-intensive tasks that require precise and error-free execution

8. Use Linking Devices to Improve the Flow of Your Points To bring cohesion to your summary and improve fluency, use sentence connectors to link your points together.

The Beginner's Guide to Writing an Essay | Steps & Examples

An academic essay is a focused piece of writing that develops an idea or argument using evidence, analysis, and interpretation.

There are many types of essays you might write as a student. The content and length of an essay depends on your level, subject of study, and course requirements. However, most essays at university level are argumentative — they aim to persuade the reader of a particular position or perspective on a topic.

The essay writing process consists of three main stages:

Preparation: Decide on your topic, do your research, and create an essay outline.
Writing : Set out your argument in the introduction, develop it with evidence in the main body, and wrap it up with a conclusion.
Revision: Check your essay on the content, organization, grammar, spelling, and formatting of your essay.

Instantly correct all language mistakes in your text

Upload your document to correct all your mistakes in minutes

Essay writing process, preparation for writing an essay, writing the introduction, writing the main body, writing the conclusion, essay checklist, lecture slides, frequently asked questions about writing an essay.

The writing process of preparation, writing, and revisions applies to every essay or paper, but the time and effort spent on each stage depends on the type of essay .

For example, if you’ve been assigned a five-paragraph expository essay for a high school class, you’ll probably spend the most time on the writing stage; for a college-level argumentative essay , on the other hand, you’ll need to spend more time researching your topic and developing an original argument before you start writing.

Receive feedback on language, structure, and formatting

Professional editors proofread and edit your paper by focusing on:

Academic style
Vague sentences
Style consistency

See an example

Before you start writing, you should make sure you have a clear idea of what you want to say and how you’re going to say it. There are a few key steps you can follow to make sure you’re prepared:

Understand your assignment: What is the goal of this essay? What is the length and deadline of the assignment? Is there anything you need to clarify with your teacher or professor?
Define a topic: If you’re allowed to choose your own topic , try to pick something that you already know a bit about and that will hold your interest.
Do your research: Read primary and secondary sources and take notes to help you work out your position and angle on the topic. You’ll use these as evidence for your points.
Come up with a thesis: The thesis is the central point or argument that you want to make. A clear thesis is essential for a focused essay—you should keep referring back to it as you write.
Create an outline: Map out the rough structure of your essay in an outline . This makes it easier to start writing and keeps you on track as you go.

Once you’ve got a clear idea of what you want to discuss, in what order, and what evidence you’ll use, you’re ready to start writing.

The introduction sets the tone for your essay. It should grab the reader’s interest and inform them of what to expect. The introduction generally comprises 10–20% of the text.

1. Hook your reader

The first sentence of the introduction should pique your reader’s interest and curiosity. This sentence is sometimes called the hook. It might be an intriguing question, a surprising fact, or a bold statement emphasizing the relevance of the topic.

Let’s say we’re writing an essay about the development of Braille (the raised-dot reading and writing system used by visually impaired people). Our hook can make a strong statement about the topic:

The invention of Braille was a major turning point in the history of disability.

2. Provide background on your topic

Next, it’s important to give context that will help your reader understand your argument. This might involve providing background information, giving an overview of important academic work or debates on the topic, and explaining difficult terms. Don’t provide too much detail in the introduction—you can elaborate in the body of your essay.

3. Present the thesis statement

Next, you should formulate your thesis statement— the central argument you’re going to make. The thesis statement provides focus and signals your position on the topic. It is usually one or two sentences long. The thesis statement for our essay on Braille could look like this:

As the first writing system designed for blind people’s needs, Braille was a groundbreaking new accessibility tool. It not only provided practical benefits, but also helped change the cultural status of blindness.

4. Map the structure

In longer essays, you can end the introduction by briefly describing what will be covered in each part of the essay. This guides the reader through your structure and gives a preview of how your argument will develop.

The invention of Braille marked a major turning point in the history of disability. The writing system of raised dots used by blind and visually impaired people was developed by Louis Braille in nineteenth-century France. In a society that did not value disabled people in general, blindness was particularly stigmatized, and lack of access to reading and writing was a significant barrier to social participation. The idea of tactile reading was not entirely new, but existing methods based on sighted systems were difficult to learn and use. As the first writing system designed for blind people’s needs, Braille was a groundbreaking new accessibility tool. It not only provided practical benefits, but also helped change the cultural status of blindness. This essay begins by discussing the situation of blind people in nineteenth-century Europe. It then describes the invention of Braille and the gradual process of its acceptance within blind education. Subsequently, it explores the wide-ranging effects of this invention on blind people’s social and cultural lives.

Write your essay introduction

The body of your essay is where you make arguments supporting your thesis, provide evidence, and develop your ideas. Its purpose is to present, interpret, and analyze the information and sources you have gathered to support your argument.

Length of the body text

The length of the body depends on the type of essay. On average, the body comprises 60–80% of your essay. For a high school essay, this could be just three paragraphs, but for a graduate school essay of 6,000 words, the body could take up 8–10 pages.

Paragraph structure

To give your essay a clear structure , it is important to organize it into paragraphs . Each paragraph should be centered around one main point or idea.

That idea is introduced in a topic sentence . The topic sentence should generally lead on from the previous paragraph and introduce the point to be made in this paragraph. Transition words can be used to create clear connections between sentences.

After the topic sentence, present evidence such as data, examples, or quotes from relevant sources. Be sure to interpret and explain the evidence, and show how it helps develop your overall argument.

Lack of access to reading and writing put blind people at a serious disadvantage in nineteenth-century society. Text was one of the primary methods through which people engaged with culture, communicated with others, and accessed information; without a well-developed reading system that did not rely on sight, blind people were excluded from social participation (Weygand, 2009). While disabled people in general suffered from discrimination, blindness was widely viewed as the worst disability, and it was commonly believed that blind people were incapable of pursuing a profession or improving themselves through culture (Weygand, 2009). This demonstrates the importance of reading and writing to social status at the time: without access to text, it was considered impossible to fully participate in society. Blind people were excluded from the sighted world, but also entirely dependent on sighted people for information and education.

See the full essay example

The conclusion is the final paragraph of an essay. It should generally take up no more than 10–15% of the text . A strong essay conclusion :

Returns to your thesis
Ties together your main points
Shows why your argument matters

A great conclusion should finish with a memorable or impactful sentence that leaves the reader with a strong final impression.

What not to include in a conclusion

To make your essay’s conclusion as strong as possible, there are a few things you should avoid. The most common mistakes are:

Including new arguments or evidence
Undermining your arguments (e.g. “This is just one approach of many”)
Using concluding phrases like “To sum up…” or “In conclusion…”

Braille paved the way for dramatic cultural changes in the way blind people were treated and the opportunities available to them. Louis Braille’s innovation was to reimagine existing reading systems from a blind perspective, and the success of this invention required sighted teachers to adapt to their students’ reality instead of the other way around. In this sense, Braille helped drive broader social changes in the status of blindness. New accessibility tools provide practical advantages to those who need them, but they can also change the perspectives and attitudes of those who do not.

An essay is a focused piece of writing that explains, argues, describes, or narrates.

In high school, you may have to write many different types of essays to develop your writing skills.

Academic essays at college level are usually argumentative : you develop a clear thesis about your topic and make a case for your position using evidence, analysis and interpretation.

The structure of an essay is divided into an introduction that presents your topic and thesis statement , a body containing your in-depth analysis and arguments, and a conclusion wrapping up your ideas.

The structure of the body is flexible, but you should always spend some time thinking about how you can organize your essay to best serve your ideas.

Your essay introduction should include three main things, in this order:

An opening hook to catch the reader’s attention.
Relevant background information that the reader needs to know.
A thesis statement that presents your main point or argument.

The length of each part depends on the length and complexity of your essay .

A thesis statement is a sentence that sums up the central point of your paper or essay . Everything else you write should relate to this key idea.

The thesis statement is essential in any academic essay or research paper for two main reasons:

It gives your writing direction and focus.
It gives the reader a concise summary of your main point.

Without a clear thesis statement, an essay can end up rambling and unfocused, leaving your reader unsure of exactly what you want to say.

A topic sentence is a sentence that expresses the main point of a paragraph . Everything else in the paragraph should relate to the topic sentence.

At college level, you must properly cite your sources in all essays , research papers , and other academic texts (except exams and in-class exercises).

Add a citation whenever you quote , paraphrase , or summarize information or ideas from a source. You should also give full source details in a bibliography or reference list at the end of your text.

The exact format of your citations depends on which citation style you are instructed to use. The most common styles are APA , MLA , and Chicago .

O Level History Elective Paper 2273: How to Ace the Paper!

History Elective and Social Studies is one of the three Combined Humanities options. Some people think that History is a useless subject and prefer to choose Geography or English / Chinese Literature. However, I assure you that it is not. History is not just about past events; it is also about analysing, evaluating and making judgements about these events. These critical thinking skills are important for your child’s future, even if they do not study History.

O Level History Elective: What do we learn?

Unlike lower secondary history, O Level History Elective does not feature Singapore. O Level History Elective is in fact modern world history. If you want to know why the current world is this way, you need to learn history. The following are the topics:

Impact of World War One.
Rise of authoritarian regimes and its impact in the interwar years.
World War II in Europe and the Asia–Pacific.
Cold War and the bi-polar world order.
Manifestation of the Cold War outside Europe.
Reasons for the end of the Cold War.

The first unit covers the impact of World War One, especially on Germany. The students then continue with two case studies to explore the rise of dictatorship in Europe. The two case studies are Russia (Stalin) and Germany (Hitler).

Students then study the reasons for the outbreak of World War Two in Europe and Asia and the reasons for the defeat of Germany and Japan. The events of the war are not emphasized.

Finally, students learn about the reasons behind the Cold War and use the case studies of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Korean War to explore different facets of the Cold War. Finally, they learn the reasons for the end of the Cold War.

As mentioned, other than content, the exam tests critical thinking skills. They are similar to Social Studies:

Draw inferences
Analyse and evaluate information through different perspectives
Differentiate between fact and opinion
Compare and contrast different viewpoints
Detect bias
Construct well-supported arguments and make reasonable judgement and recommendations

O Level History Elective: Paper Format and Assessment

The paper is divided into two sections just like Social Studies. Section A consists of Source-Based Questions and is worth 30 marks in total. The content that can be tested in this section are the four case studies (Stalin, Hitler, Cuban Missile Crisis and Korean War).

Section B has two Structured Essay Questions worth 20 marks in total. The two questions are further divided into two sub-questions. The student only needs to answer one question of his or her choice.

The O Level History marking scheme is similar to Social Studies as it also uses the Levels of Response Marking Scheme (LORMS). This marking scheme emphasizes the quality of answer and students who explain their reasons well will score for history.

What can parents do?

This subject requires specialist knowledge of specific content. Despite this, parents can still nudge their children into picking up more knowledge about this period:

Encourage students to watch shows based on modern world history. There are many dramas, films and documentaries set in this period.
There are a lot of YouTube resources of this period. Just ask your children to look up Google.
Always link back the present day to events that happened to the past. For example, why did America end up as the dominant superpower in the world?

I have a special section that features additional resources that students can access. Click here to read more about it.

In addition, I have prepared sample essays for students to refer to. They can be found below:

Treaty of Versailles
League of Nations
Rise of Stalin
Stalin’s Rule
Rise of Hitler
Hitler’s Rule
Reasons for World War II in Europe
Reasons for the Defeat of Germany
Reasons for World War II in Asia-Pacific
Reasons for the Defeat of Japan
Reasons for the Cold War
Cuban Missile Crisis
Reasons for the End of the Cold War

Critical Thought English & Humanities is your best resource for English, English Literature, Social Studies, Geography and History.

My experience, proven methodology and unique blend of technology will help your child ace their exams.

José Andrés: Let People Eat

A woman wearing a head scarf sits on a cart next to a box of food marked “World Central Kitchen.”

By José Andrés

Mr. Andrés is the founder of World Central Kitchen.

In the worst conditions you can imagine — after hurricanes, earthquakes, bombs and gunfire — the best of humanity shows up. Not once or twice but always.

The seven people killed on a World Central Kitchen mission in Gaza on Monday were the best of humanity. They are not faceless or nameless. They are not generic aid workers or collateral damage in war.

Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, John Chapman, Jacob Flickinger, Zomi Frankcom, James Henderson, James Kirby and Damian Sobol risked everything for the most fundamentally human activity: to share our food with others.

These are people I served alongside in Ukraine, Turkey, Morocco, the Bahamas, Indonesia, Mexico, Gaza and Israel. They were far more than heroes.

Their work was based on the simple belief that food is a universal human right. It is not conditional on being good or bad, rich or poor, left or right. We do not ask what religion you belong to. We just ask how many meals you need.

From Day 1, we have fed Israelis as well as Palestinians. Across Israel, we have served more than 1.75 million hot meals. We have fed families displaced by Hezbollah rockets in the north. We have fed grieving families from the south. We delivered meals to the hospitals where hostages were reunited with their families. We have called consistently, repeatedly and passionately for the release of all the hostages.

All the while, we have communicated extensively with Israeli military and civilian officials. At the same time, we have worked closely with community leaders in Gaza, as well as Arab nations in the region. There is no way to bring a ship full of food to Gaza without doing so.

That’s how we served more than 43 million meals in Gaza, preparing hot food in 68 community kitchens where Palestinians are feeding Palestinians.

We know Israelis. Israelis, in their heart of hearts, know that food is not a weapon of war.

Israel is better than the way this war is being waged. It is better than blocking food and medicine to civilians. It is better than killing aid workers who had coordinated their movements with the Israel Defense Forces.

The Israeli government needs to open more land routes for food and medicine today. It needs to stop killing civilians and aid workers today. It needs to start the long journey to peace today.

In the worst conditions, after the worst terrorist attack in its history, it’s time for the best of Israel to show up. You cannot save the hostages by bombing every building in Gaza. You cannot win this war by starving an entire population.

We welcome the government’s promise of an investigation into how and why members of our World Central Kitchen family were killed. That investigation needs to start at the top, not just the bottom.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said of the Israeli killings of our team, “It happens in war.” It was a direct attack on clearly marked vehicles whose movements were known by the Israel Defense Forces.

It was also the direct result of a policy that squeezed humanitarian aid to desperate levels. Our team was en route from a delivery of almost 400 tons of aid by sea — our second shipment, funded by the United Arab Emirates, supported by Cyprus and with clearance from the Israel Defense Forces.

The team members put their lives at risk precisely because this food aid is so rare and desperately needed. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification global initiative, half the population of Gaza — 1.1. million people — faces the imminent risk of famine. The team would not have made the journey if there were enough food, traveling by truck across land, to feed the people of Gaza.

The peoples of the Mediterranean and Middle East, regardless of ethnicity and religion, share a culture that values food as a powerful statement of humanity and hospitality — of our shared hope for a better tomorrow.

There’s a reason, at this special time of year, Christians make Easter eggs, Muslims eat an egg at iftar dinners and an egg sits on the Seder plate. This symbol of life and hope reborn in spring extends across religions and cultures.

I have been a stranger at Seder dinners. I have heard the ancient Passover stories about being a stranger in the land of Egypt, the commandment to remember — with a feast before you — that the children of Israel were once slaves.

It is not a sign of weakness to feed strangers; it is a sign of strength. The people of Israel need to remember, at this darkest hour, what strength truly looks like.

Under Development: WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria

Relive epic adventures with an all-new event arriving in the 10.2.7 content update— WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria. Experience the wonders of Pandaria anew, but with fresh new loot— and (almost) unlimited power.

What is WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria?

World of Warcraft Remix is a time-limited event which allows players to re-experience the entirety of the Mists of Pandaria expansion at an accelerated rate from level 10 through 70. All loot has been completely overhauled and has powerful new effects allowing players to shape their experience, power up, and power on. Features include:

Accelerated Leveling and Content allowing you to take on nearly every quest, scenario, dungeon and raid.
Create a new WoW Remix character starting at level 10 to adventure through the event up to level 70.
A mountain of loot: Get powerful items from everywhere— quests, chests, creatures, bosses.
Customizable items allowing you to power up as far as you can go to take on tougher content.
Convert unwanted items into Bronze which can be used to upgrade items or purchase cosmetics.
Keep what you collect: Take your collection of transmogs with you into The War Within .

Available to Everyone

No expansion purchase is needed, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is required to begin this fast-paced adventure through Pandaria. This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of pandamonium by simply installing the modern (live) World of Warcraft client.

WoW Trial Accounts will also be able to experience this WoW Remix without a subscription or Game Time through level 20. Purchase a subscription or Game Time to continue beyond level 20.

Accelerated Leveling and Content

With WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria there will be no slowing you down and you’ll be able to take on nearly every quest, scenario, dungeon, and raid right out of the gate with accelerated leveling from 10-70. View the chart below for the availability of each type of content.

Creating Your New Identity

Create a new modern World of Warcraft character to undertake your adventures in Pandaria, collect a variety of powerful new items and transmogs, then take your transmogs with you when you continue your adventures in World of Warcraft®:The War Within ™ . All Remix characters created during the event will convert to a standard character to play within modern World of Warcraft at the end of the event.

From the realm Character Selection screen, players will be given the option to create a new WoW Remix character, beginning at level 10, which will only be able to play with characters taking part in the event.

Characters in the selection screen which are only available to play in the World of Warcraft Remix event will have an icon next to the character name so they can easily be identified when choosing which mode of World of Warcraft you intend to play through.

Once you’ve created your character, you’ll begin your new journey in the Timeless Isle and meet up with the infinite dragonflight and Eternus who will set you on your path.

New Loot, New You

In WoW Remix, players have the opportunity to collect a variety of items from just about anywhere: quests, chests, creatures, bosses, and more. New customizable items will be yours for the taking and each item slot has their own unique identity with spell gem sockets. These sockets come with exciting turbo-charged new effects similar to trinkets.

Each time you loot new items, you’ll have the chance for powerful new upgrades allowing you to push the limits further and faster than ever before with uncapped progression. As you progress, you’ll gradually become more and more powerful as items also grant increased permanent stats.

Here are just some examples of the types of gems you might find:

Equip: Summon a storm. Call down 5 bolts of lightning every 1 second. Each bolt inflicts 25,885 Nature damage to an enemy within 30 yards. During the storm, 3 flowers grow around the caster.
