Lower Secondary Essential Essays

Many lower secondary students find essay writing a daunting challenge, because the requirements are different from PSLE. The purpose of writing shifts away from storytelling and personal recounts to include arguments, discussions, reflections, or a blend of different genres. The skills required for these genres do not come easily to most students. Therefore, essay writing becomes an uphill chore.

However, very few people are naturally gifted writers. Writers have to practice writing the same way musicians have to practice their instruments and athletes have to practice their form. Guided practice is what this book aims to provide for students.
