Application of grammar knowledge, vocabulary and literary techniques are the keys . This techniques are proven to work from our years of experience with teaching the children. As follow are the tips:
1) STOP memorising, be flexible. Many great writings are merely ideas adapted from another. Hence, reading model essays are important to help children generate ideas for a creative composition. However, how to the children apply what they have read to the exam questions? That is a technique needed to be learnt through professional guidance.
2)increasing vocabulary, variation of words are used to show very slight difference of feelings in the character. For example, surprised in comparison with shocked , both are feelings of astonishment but surprise is different. It is used to describe happy occasions. Hence, vocabulary is not only used to impress the markers but also to ensure the essay to be interesting.
3)grammar mistakes are unsightly. For example: John is running and shouted for help.
Could you spot the error in grammar?
Is should be was, as shouted is past tense.
"was running and shouting " would demonstrate the ongoing action
"was running and shouted" would show the two action happened at different time
Grammar is essential to ensure the flow in the essay.
Hope this helps!!
LOVE,
Little Teacher
