Introduction to Continuous Writing

This time, I would like to share about the types of topics that are asked in Continuous Writing.

The reason why I keep discussing about writing part is that, in my opinion, Paper 1 is easy to score with enough preparation and skills. Besides, you won't fail in this paper if have read widely and good language. More importantly, Paper 1 carries 85 marks! It plays an important part to help you score well in English 1119.

Ok, back to the main topic, there are basically 6 kinds of topics as shown below:

1. Descriptive writing
2. Narrative writing
3. Argumentative writing
4. Reflective writing
5. Expository writing
6. One-word essay

However, only 5 of them are being tested, and you are required to choose 1 from the 5 topics.

To score in this section, you have to know which kind of writer you are and which kind of writing you are more confident of. Then, tackle the particular type and practise till you feel comfortable with it.

Details on each type will be discussed on the next blog. Stay tuned!
