2019 O Level Model Essay

‘it was my proudest moment.’ write about a time when you felt like this..

2019 O Level English Examination Question

I was the last speaker to deliver my speech in the room. Our school team sat just a meter or so away, so nervous I could physically feel anxiety radiating from them. Every painful hour of training we submitted ourselves to was for this moment. So far, it had gone well: we had trounced so many of the so-called elite debate teams, cementing our status as the underdog. No one expected a team of seemingly-quiet girls to have come this far, but here we were, in the finals, against a team that had won the championship for ten years in a row. 

Our coach held our hands tightly as we walked towards the lecture theatre where the results would be announced, reassuring us that we did well, and that accomplishing a guaranteed silver medal was still good enough. However, secretly in our heart of hearts, we hoped we would take the gold. Otherwise, what was all that training for?

I was so nervous I kept quiet, feeling the sweat trickle down the back of the school’s formal uniform that was set apart for only students who participate in the most prestigious competitions. My tie suddenly felt tight and uncomfortable, but I did not dare to loosen it and sully our image. Walking into the blessed air-conditioning of the lecture theatre, we sat down and awaited our fate. Unfortunately, we were seated next to our competitors, who kept pointing at us and laughing condescendingly, as if they were expecting the win.

“And the winner of the Singapore Debating Championships is…”

He trailed off into silence but I swore you could hear our collective hearts pounding in sheer anxiety. 

When he cried out our school name, I could not even react. It was like an absolute dream when everyone started bursting into tears of joy, while I stared, stunned, until I finally realised what happened. We won. The underdogs won. We, the quiet, unassuming team that had just barely made it to this high-level division via the qualifiers won. Our competitors looked disgusted and refused to shake our hands, choosing instead to cast us looks of disdain.

It was then my team and I stepped forward with courage we never knew we had, and turned around to face our opponents.

“You will display proper gentlemanly behaviour and sportsmanship, or you will forever be known as bad losers,”

I managed to say, as politely as I could, even though I wanted to scream inside me. Staring them directly in the eye even though I was at least a head shorter than them, I refused to break my gaze.  

Finally, they looked away, then embarrassedly stuck out their hands.

That was when I felt the proudest of myself and of my team. It was not the gold medal that went around our necks, not the championship trophy that we got to bring home, but the act of standing up against people who truly believed we would not make it. We had struggled through so much to make it this far and we deserved that respect. Even though we had to demand it, I still proudly reached out and shook their hands. From that day on, we would not just be known for our debating prowess, but for the fact that even though we seemed like pushovers, we were incredibly strong. Our gold medals shone brightly under the lights, but our faces and spirits shone ever brighter.

Teacher’s Commentary

• Building Tension We knew we were going to have fun with this question! We wanted to build up the tension and have it culminate at the point where we could describe where the writer was at her proudest.
• Championship Setting We picked a championship setting because it was the most relatable setting. We thought of setting it up so that it would seem that we were proudest because our hard work had won us the tournament.
• Competitor vs Home Team  It was important to show the build-up as to how and why we were so proud. So, we developed the contrast between the main team and the competitor’s team.
• The Twist  The climax was not the win as expected, but rather the moment where their characters were tested. Since the main team of the story was described as quiet and unassuming, speaking up against the more arrogant competitor’s team would be a surprise that no one would expect in the story.
• Reflection Finally, it was important to have some reflection as to why that was the proudest moment. This part would differentiate this writing from other students who chose the same 2019 O Level English examination topic. While other students would write about hard work paying off, we would talk about standing up for ourselves.

7 Essay Types at the O Level

• Posted By Randall Chew

Hello everyone! I’m Mr Ng Guo Liang, an English Language Curriculum Specialist and Teacher at Lil’ but Mighty.

When I was still teaching in a secondary school, I often had to address many questions — from both parents and students alike — about the different composition or essay types being tested in the O Level examinations; chief amongst which were:

– What composition or essay types will appear in the O Level examinations? – What is the difference between a discursive essay and an argumentative essay? – What is the difference between a recount and narrative essay? – What is the difference between a descriptive and reflective essay?

There were (and are) of course, many other questions pertaining to composition writing for the O Level. The ones above however — those concerned with conceptualising the types of compositions — are the ones I have had to address the most. In this blog post therefore, I will list the various types of compositions that could be tested in the O Level English Language Paper 1, and attempt to very briefly describe each of them.

Before I continue, I must make a disclaimer. This post is not meant to be a comprehensive set of notes or guide detailing and explaining each individual essay type, their features, and nuances. I must make it very clear to my readers that what I write and elaborate on in this post should not be taken as the absolute and definitive word on the various essay types; we should note that different teachers, authors, publishers, and reference materials describe, explain, and conceptualise the various essay types differently (and very possibly with different terminology). That being said, the descriptions I’ll make in this post are meant only as a very brief explanation of the various types of essays so that you can better understand what they generally require students to address in the examination.

Should you wish to enquire about and discuss the individual essay types at a more comprehensive and deeper level than that provided in this post, you can do so with your English teacher in school, or contact us and we shall endeavour to address your queries!

In the O Level examination, the following essay types could be tested:

1. Narrative 2. Personal Recount 3. Descriptive 4. Reflective 5. Discursive 6. Argumentative 7. Two-Part Essays

1. Narrative Essays

Narrative essays, as the name suggests, are essays that narrate a story. Most students reading this post should, by the end of primary school, be familiar with narrative essays as this is perhaps the essay type that they see the most in primary school and in creative writing classes. These essays are generally fictional in nature, and adhere to how narrative stories are developed in terms of their plots (beginning —> build up —> climax —> events that lead to a resolution —> a resolution —> and a coda/conclusion). Although these essays are generally fictional, that is not to say that students cannot use their own experiences to address the question. As long as the experience is relevant to the question, and features a rising plot which leads to a resolution, students are free to use their own experiences to inspire the narrative essay.

Sample questions:

– Freedom. – A challenge. – Write a story about kindness. – ‘It was my proudest moment.’ Write a story based on this.

2. Personal Recount Essays

Similar to a narrative essay, a personal recount essay retells a series of events that should be written in a linear and sequential manner. A personal recount essay is not to be confused with a narrative one. Narratives are often fictional in nature, and generally adhere to a rising plot development structure (most often with a climax and resolution). Personal recounts however, are not fictional in nature, and often relate to an event or experience which is meaningful or memorable to you (in other words, you should have personally experienced or witnessed this event or experience taking place.) Depending on the question asked, it can, of course, include a plot structure with elements similar to a narrative. However, unlike narrative essay writing, it does not require students to adhere strictly to a rising plot structure.

Personal recount essays, by nature of the questions given, typically require students to include an element of reflection. This usually focuses on the impact and significance that an event or experience have on them, and their thoughts, feelings, changing beliefs and attitudes as the series of events unfold. Such reflections should be interspersed and woven in and between the paragraphs of the essay. This is different for narratives, where reflections typically appear in the coda.

– Write about an interesting day out with your family. – Write about a mistake you regret making. – Write about how you conquered one of your fears. – Write about a task which turned out to be more difficult than you initially thought. – Write about a time a great act of kindness took place.

3. Descriptive Essays

Descriptive essays contain and emphasise descriptive elements. That is to say, such essays are written to appeal to the five senses, and should create vivid mental images for the reader when it is being read. This genre goes beyond describing physical attributes, but abstract ones as well (e.g. feelings, ideas, or a situation), and often involves reflecting on why something or someone is special or important. Unlike narrative essays, descriptive essays do not require a plot structure or storyline. This essay type most typically require students to write about and describe in detail one of the following topics:

1. An object 2. A person 3. A place 4. An event or incident 5. An experience

– Describe an individual who has had a great influence on you. – Describe a memorable celebration. – Describe your typical day in school. – Describe an object which you hold dear.

4. Reflective Essays

Essays of this genre require the students to reflect on themselves. Despite the reflective element, this is not to be confused with a personal recount. Personal recounts require students to recount and reflect on an event or experience which actually took place. Reflective essays however, are not about an event or experience, but are more about the students themselves.

Reflective essays typically require students to reflect on and make observations about their own personality and character. As such, it is more philosophical and insightful in nature.

Sample Questions:

– What would you consider to be your best and worst qualities? – What is your idea of a perfect day? – What are the type of books you enjoy reading? – Write about some of the things you value most in life.

Expository Essays: Argumentative and Discursive Essays

The next two essay types fall under the category we call ‘expositions’. An expository essay is one that explores and considers in depth the different aspects and perspectives to a particular topic or subject matter. We typically see two types of expository essays appearing in the O Level examination: argumentative and discursive essays.

5. Argumentative Essays

In an argumentative essay, students are typically given an issue, topic, or subject matter on which they are supposed to take a clear stand, and argue for that stand they have taken. This essay type is ‘biased’ in that regard, and the aim of the essay is to persuade the reader, with the strength of their points and arguments, that the stand taken in the essay is the right one.

1. The key features of an effective argumentative essay are: 2. There must be a very clear stand taken on the topic/subject matter given in the question. 3. Points/arguments given are supported by facts, statistics, observations or examples. 4. Points/arguments appeal to logic and emotion. 5. Using a persuasive tone and register. 6. Considering the opposing views and being able to rebut or refute them – this makes an argumentative essay the most persuasive and effective.

–  ‘People can only be happy if they feel they are treated fairly.’ Do you agree (2019 O Level 1) –  Do you agree with the view that students should never engage in part-time work? –  ‘Social media has destroyed communication.’ What is your opinion? –  Who has more problems to deal with — adults or youths?

6. Discursive Essays

Like argumentative essays, a discursive essay focuses on and concerns itself with one particular topic or subject matter. Unlike the argumentative essay however, one is not required to take a stand on the subject matter. Rather than pushing for and validating only one particular perspective, students are required instead to discuss and explore the multiple perspectives regarding the subject matter in an unbiased manner.

What is important to note is that students can state a preference for a particular perspective or viewpoint at the end of the essay, but the tone and register of the essay should not be a persuasive one (i.e. the way the essay is written should not dominantly favour one particular perspective or viewpoint over others). It should be written in a manner which reflects that all the perspectives and viewpoints you discuss in the essay are equally valid (even if you do eventually state a preference for one at the end) — in essence, an effective discursive essay is one that achieves balance .

–  What are the advantages and disadvantages of social media? –  What are the qualities a good leader should have? –  Discuss the implications of making home-based learning a permanent mode of education. –  Discuss your views on discipline.

7. Two-Part Essays

As the name suggests, two-part essays are essays which could comprise features and elements of two different essay types. What you will typically see is a question which explicitly has two distinct and separate parts students would have to address. For instance, the question would not only require students to describe something or someone, but also require them to reflect on that particular thing they are describing in the essay; such that the essay becomes a ‘mixed-genre’ essay.

For two-part essays, students need to ensure that they address both parts of the question, and do not make the common mistake of devoting too much time and too many words to the first half of the question and neglecting the second half of the question.

– Write about a mistake you regret making. What lessons did you learn from it? – Describe an individual who has had a great influence on you. Why is this person so special to you? – Describe an object which you hold dear. Why is this object so important to you? – Write about a time you were misunderstood by others. How did you feel?

This brings us to the end of this blog post. Although there is much more to the respective essay types regarding their features and styles, I hope that I have managed to provide you with brief but lucid explanations that will make it a little easier for you to understand the various essay types that could be tested in the O Level.

Until my next post, and on behalf of the Lil’ but Mighty family, stay happy, stay safe, and stay healthy!

• Fine Out More

Mr Ng firmly believes that there is a strong correlation between effort and eventual success, and that finding success in English is something that is attainable by all of his students regardless of their background and starting point. He has a strong love and passion for the language and hopes to inspire that same passion in his students through his lessons. That being said, he looks forward to bringing out the best in his students and guiding them to fulfil the potential they all have.

Hall of Fame O Level

Time is always a scarce resource. what are your views.

By Low Huey Sze, CHIJ St. Theresa Convent – Achieved A1 in ‘O’ Level English Language

Time is very slow for those who wait; very fast for those who are scared; very long for those who lament; very short for those who celebrate; but for those who love, time is eternal. – William Shakespeare

Time is never on Man’s side. It is a paradox. Man can never get enough of it, yet there is no way we can get any more of it than what has already been assigned to us in our lifetime.

Like Shakespeare’s poetry, “Time is very slow for those who wait…” When we are young, we cannot wait to grow up and time is deceivingly slower. The brashness of youth makes us think we have an unlimited amount time and we see only the infinity of it. It feels like we can waste days on end and it would not even make a dent. It makes us believe that old age is a fate that will never happen to the young. All we want to do is be grownups; we chase down the minutes, hours and years until we are old enough to get our license, graduate, work, marry and move out of our parents’ nest. We wait for time to pass, anxious and unappreciative of the days that seem to crawl past in our slow adolescence. Adulthood comes too soon, and we all will wake up from the deception of the slowness of time too late; only to realise time is scarce.

Being an adult, we would soon understand that the scarcity of time comes from the fact that it is finite. Time is a non-renewable resource, regardless of your power, achievements, family background, or even wealth. Everybody ends up the same way regardless who they are, for time is always equal and limited. In the mere blink of the cosmic eye, we will join the billions of our ancestors who have lived, died, and become indistinguishable from the piles of bones buried six feet underground. Time has become a scarcer resource.

Upon entering old age, we would soon realise that “time is always a scarce resource”is an understatement. In fact, time is the scarcest resource and always will be. New diamond and gold deposits are discovered, and new bills are printed. Such is not the case with time. Nothing that any of us do in this life will allow us to accrue an extra second, and nothing will allow us to regain the time misspent. Once time has passed, it is gone forever. As much as we recognise the value of time implicitly in our daily transactions, we squander time. A classic example is we are unwilling to invest several hundred of dollars on a new business proposed by an acquaintance, but assuming he invites us for dinner, we are willing to take an hour out of our packed schedule to meet for dinner. We do it out of courtesy despite the fact that it will consume our most precious resource.How ironic. Hence, I think we should constantly remind ourselves about the scarcity of time and be more conscientious about how we spend our time.

In a nutshell, time is relentlessly impartial. There is never more time when we need it. There are no extras, no hand-outs and no bonuses. Time gives no allowances to anyone; it does not matter how rich we are or how much money we make. The bitter truth is that the time we waste has no preference for the rich, beautiful or the intelligent. It has an odd way of reminding us that it really does not care if we are rich or poor, it will get us either way. We need to be aware that there will come a day when we look back and realise there is more time behind us than there will be in front of us. The scarcity of time is always real – it is, and will always be, the scarcest resource in the universe.

Hall of Fame Secondary (Year 4)

Life as a teenager.

By Brandon Gunawan, ACS (Independent)

Teenagers, and their parents, are often confounded by unpredictable behaviour, and volatile emotions, which seem to arise like tornadoes from out of the blue. In addition, teenagers often experience a parade of identities, which seem to change as fast as a runway model’s wardrobe. A teen brain is heavily influenced by massive hormonal messages, as well as current needs and experiences, thus it is constantly being reshaped and reconstructed. This phase is likened to a major overhaul where old behaviours and emotions are switched off to make room for new needs. Hence, teenagers engage in activities, such as staying up late, dressing in the latest fashion trends or even going after idols, that their parents find difficult to accept. Teenagers are simply going through personality changes, such as having new perspectives and reactions, until adolescence recedes.

Teenagers today are slaves to trends. Do you agree?

By Low Tjun Lym, School of Science and Technology

Teenagers are social creatures, often requiring the acceptance of a group or face the threat of being isolated. The coming of age prompts self-discovery. Teenagers persistently seek out their own identity. They yearn to become part of a group that reaffirms self-identity, be it nerds, jocks or the artistically inclined. They long for a sense of belonging to a group. This is most prominently seen in groups where teenagers all wear clothes of the same, probably overpriced, brands, listen to the same music, usually Korean Pop, or watch Japanese animation, commonly known as “anime”. Following these trends will generate some form of social acceptance, as well as a large bank of conversation topics, for teenagers. Trends represent the pinnacle of pop culture, sought after relentlessly by adolescents to fill their psychological need for social inclusion and to boost their otherwise unstable self-esteem. As long as teenagers care about the social aspect of their lives, they will remain moths surrounding the flame of the hottest trends.

[o levels] asking for sample english essays which students have wrote!

hi i'm about to take o levels soon and from what i read all over reddit, the best way is to write essays and let my teacher mark. yet, i can never hit 21/30 mark for continuous writing. if lucky, i can hit twenty. most of the time its just nineteen. thus i am here to politely request for students who have written narrative/personal recount/descriptive/reflective sort of essays and have gotten twenty one and above. i really really hope to get an A for english even though it really seems impossible now (im a bordeline b3- 65). if you could send me any tips on english as such i would appreciate too hehe.

if even better, i wouldnt mind if any of you can send situational writing too!! thank you for your help in advance.

one question: if i repeatedly keep doing english tys will i get A hehe

also just another question, for SWs, do yall think article/report will come out for Os? because i had close to no practices on them this year and im kinda worried.

edit: what did i do to receive so many upvotes, and much lest an award?? omg
