Paragraph (example):
As soon as I stepped out of school, the sky turned dark and the wind slapped my face. A burst of thunder exploded above me, and my fingers began to tremble. Within seconds, rain poured like buckets and my uniform was completely soaked. I clutched tightly onto my bag and ran, but the path was slippery and I stumbled over a loose stone. Through the heavy rain, I caught a glimpse of a small bus stop. I dashed towards it and hid under the shelter. When the thunder faded into the distance, I finally felt relieved and let out a long breath.

B5) Timed Situational Writing (12 minutes) — Formal tone
Task: Write an email to your school principal raising concerns about irresponsible online behaviour.
Targets: accountable, integrity, raise concerns, breach of trust, While it is true that, As a result
Model paragraph (example):
While it is true that social media allows students to connect quickly, it can also become a platform for harmful behaviour. I would like to raise concerns about several incidents where messages were shared without context, causing classmates to misinterpret one another’s intentions. This has led to a breach of trust and increased tension within the cohort. As a result, some students feel anxious about coming to school. I believe it is important to remind students that they must be held accountable for what they post, and that integrity should guide their actions both online and offline.
B6) Summary Compression Mini Example (Secondary)
Step 1: List points (no paraphrase)
- rumours spread fast
- people misinterpret
- trust breaks
- harm lasts long
- accountability needed
Step 2: Compress + paraphrase
Online rumours spread rapidly and are often misinterpreted, leading to a breakdown of trust and long-lasting harm; therefore, students should be held accountable for their actions.
B7) Weakest Paragraph Rewrite (Secondary)
Weak paragraph (before):
Online behaviour is important. Students should be responsible. If they are not, bad things happen and people get hurt.
Rewrite (after):
Online behaviour has real consequences. Students should be held accountable for what they post because a careless comment can be misinterpreted and cause a serious breach of trust. When such incidents are ignored, the harm often spreads, and rebuilding relationships becomes far more difficult.
