some last words...

I realised that SAJC already has the outline for the "S&T solves environmental prob" question so I shall not do another one. Just note that for this qn, it might be best to show that although S&T can give us many tools to better tackle environmental problems, we cannot rely solely on S&T to solve them because it must come together with changes in mindset and lifestyles.

I can't think of very much else to give you...just some ideas that came up from my consultations today:

1) Exaggerated/Overrated questions (e.g. the benefits of globalisation are overrated)
- such questions basically state that the benefits of globalisation are not as great as they seem. So if you agree that the benefits are overrated, you need to show me how the problems can often be more significant than the benefits
- so for such questions, it might be better to use the layering style (e.g. discuss benefit -> however, there are also problems that may overshadow the benefit)

2) AQ
- for questions that are not about your society, it may be better to just say 'for example, in Singapore...' rather than say 'in my society, Singapore,...'. This is to prevent the marker from thinking that you didn't understand the question
- of course, if the question is about your society, then you MUST say 'in my society Singapore'

3) Read compre questions carefully! If there are different parts to the question (e.g. prelim question about 'dangerously confused', the 2 parts are 'dangerous' and 'confused'), make sure you answer all the different parts

Till the next set of last words...
