  err, actually it's quite easy

  just take a stand, say yes or no (assuming u are saying 'yes')

  then list 3 'yes' reasons, maybe 1 or 2 counter 'no' arguments, and last yr conclusion, then wa la, yr essay is done

  just follow the structure, nothing should go wrong

  The question is also quite odd in my opinion.

  Hi,

    It is important to analyse the key words in the phrase too. What do we mean by 'foreign power', 'developing country', 'help' and 'in need'?

    Thanks!

  Cheers,

  Hi,

    I forgot another important key word 'ever'.

    In my opinion, one should look at real-life examples too.

    Thanks again!

  Cheers,

  GP tests your general knowledge (plus your english language writing skills).  Therefore you need to be widely read and know at least some of the basics of almost anything and everything.

   

  In this age of the internet, there is really no excuses not to be able to find information about any topic.

  Hi,

    It is also crucial that one validates for accuracy, reliability and quality the information sourced from the Internet. Thanks!

  Cheers,
