General Guidelines for GUIDED WRITING

[30 marks -- 40 minutes]
1. Always read the question carefully and highlight what you need to do (task). Check the tone/pronoun
needed.
2. Use the 40 minutes wisely:
Use 5 minutes to plan your essay and organise your thoughts (what to write,how to elaborate on the points
given). Then, use 30 minutes to write and 5 minutes to edit.
3. Remember to use all the points given. Cross out the points you have used so that not a single point is left
out.
4. Remember to give relevant details or elaborate the points given. Use wH- questions to help you
develop your points.
5. Vary your sentence structures so that your essay is not dull and monotonous.
6. Try to include an introduction (may copy from the question and check if you need to change the pronoun)
and a conclusion.
7. Also, make sure your paragraphs are well-organised.
8. Read through your written piece and edit it.
