    Not forgetting English! jocolor

    Ask anything with regards to Expository,Situational, Report Writing, Narratives, Descriptives, Recounts, One-word essay Comprehension Vocabulary Summary etc etc.

    I shall start the ball rolling!

    To Mr Tan:

    How are we able to guarantee that we've got all the points pinned down for summary writing without missing out on any important ones OR stating down extras?

    Hmmm I really have no idea how to answer that question. But always go for more content - there usually are 20 points in there, with you required to spot 15 of them to score the max 15 points. Other than that, if there were a way og "guaranteeing" all the points, everyone wud get full marks right? haha

    But wont more points mean more words?
    And if we paraphrase/cancel/generalise etc. won't it take the meaning away?

    peng wai: vicious cycle of what?

    lin rui: yes, so its a fine balance! to achieve that balance is the skill of summary writing. preserving meaning in as little words as possible.

    Summary: To convey the meaning in as little words as possible.

    Can Summary be interpreted this way?

    Man the summary was kind of tough today
    I came across a situation where I had to purposely squeeze in/break up points just to meet the 15 to 20 point requirement. Such a dilemma!
