Think write too much liao. Coz I give my stand on all 3 options but in the end still say internet is my choice.its not "the more the merrier" hor...its the substance of what U write.
Tried and proven.Not in English paper though.

I wished i could do that but it aint good feeling

ok...lets set the record straight a little bit...TS wouldnt get a 0...but the concern is not about how many marks...its the grade.
0 mark = F9 grade
39 marks = F9 grade
apart from the length....how TS structure the essay also helps...like varying length of sentences,with correct punctuations and tenses....all these will help in deciding if TS can scrape past with a C6 or D7(Not a pass grade but its a useful fail grade)
TS...what did U get for prelim English?

Haha, I also wrote on the same topic here too, and I spent so much time I did only 10% of section 2; I'm almost sure I'm going to fail paper 1 (though I have enough confidence for paper 2 - and it just happens that they talk about cats, one of my favourite animals, in there
), but I do hope I get at decent marks for my effort on section 1.When I saw the paper, it was a tough choice between 2 and 4 (greed and the internet question); I ended up randomly choosing question 4 and wrote how young people choose the internet because of it's instantness and how they also have the freedom to contribute to it; I mentioned things like R.S.S., Digg.com, and YouTube, lol.
I also added on and mentioned things like how information overload is creating a lot of stress in our society, and how information online is not always accurate, though I rushed on this part as I was running out of time.
Looking back though, I sort of regretted not doing the question on greed; I was thinking of writing about the recent financial crisis, greedy Singaporeans, and such.
I do hope I get a good score on this part, and I pray hard I don't fail that hard on this paper - I'm also hoping my performance on paper 2 and my orals will pull things up.
