The darn SEQs

Ok, since I didn't go through SEQs very much in class, I shall talk about them here then...

Some people have asked me what to study for SEQs and if certain topics will be tested in the exam. Girls, girls, girls. Sigh. You have 3 chapters to study for, and I told you that all of them are important didn't I? Yes I understand that you have a lot to study as well for the other subjects, especially for those who have another exam on the day of the SS exam, but then if I had a choice, I wouldn't be saying that.

Girls, the 3 chapters are really important, so pls try not to skip studying any chapter ok? Don't worry, just read the notes I've given you in class and you'll be fine. Really. If any of you has somehow lost (!!!) your handouts, let me know and I'll see if I can give you another copy before Wednesday.


Now, SEQs. Remember the template I've given you on answering SEQ questions? That is precisely the template you HAVE to follow for the exams ok? And pls don't forget, PEEL. Any of those 4 important categories left out in your answer, and you will not get the full marks for your answer.

Point
State your point as clearly as you can. For example, How far do you agree that Ms Teo is the most beautiful woman in the world?
How do you state the first point?
"I agree that Ms Teo is the most beautiful woman in the world to a great extent. (Muahaha) Her sense of fashion is something that inspires everyone whenever she goes for her lessons."

Evidence
Any evidence to prove your point?
"Once I saw her wearing this gorgeous navy blue dress, which actually sort of looks like our school uniform. It is a pinafore-like dress, except without our white shirt inside."

Elaboration
Explain your evidence further to show how it proves your point.
"That dress Ms Teo wore has this certain stunning effect on her naturally beautiful silhouette. It emphasises her classic beauty whenever she wears that dress to school. This shows that Ms Teo, without doubt, is the most beautiful woman in the world."

Link
Always remember to link it back to the question!
"Therefore, from the above evidence, we can see that the clothes Ms Teo wears contribute to her natural beauty and thus making her the most beautiful woman in the world."


Ok, you can stop puking now.

Anyway, this simple example is just a simplified version of how your SEQ answer should look like. Comprehendo?
