This book is not an assessment guide. It aims to help students build a systematic approach to tackling essay writing for the GCE O-level English Language paper. Written specifically for Singapore students preparing for the new 1128 Syllabus, the book incorporates a step-by-step method to teach students to write better paragraphs and essays. Students who wish to excel in the art of writing will find its contents particularly useful in helping them to polish their writing skills, leading them invariably to getting a higher score in the examination. In writing this book, I have used the experience gained from more than a decade of classroom teaching in government and private schools in Singapore. Over the years, I have tweaked my teaching methods in response to the changing times and the different cohorts of students under my charge. The improved teaching methods that I have adopted in this book, hopefully, will benefit students in search of time-saving methods they can tap to improve their writing skills. The skills taught here are also useful for other academic writing.
