Spend five minutes planning every composition
A quick outline with hook, three body points, and conclusion prevents mid-essay drift. Examiners reward coherent structure over vocabulary alone.
Match tone to situational writing formats
Formal letters, reports, and speeches each need distinct openings and closings — practise one format per week in Term 3.
Show, don't tell, in continuous writing
Replace abstract adjectives with concrete detail — 'she trembled' beats 'she was nervous'. Tutors mark sample paragraphs against O-Level rubrics.
Leave ten minutes for proofreading
Subject–verb agreement and tense consistency cost marks in otherwise strong essays. Build proofreading into every timed practice.
