Tips for Lit


In a play, you must know what happens in each act, and more specifically the organization of the scene structure--how one follows from and builds upon another.


Dialogue in both plays and novels is crucial. You must have detailed knowledge of the major dialogues and soliloquies and the part they play in the development of plot, and the development and drawing of character.

Post-Prelim

"Failure is only a moment in time... This does not mean that he will fail in life."



~Mrs Chua Yen Ching, Principal of Northlight School

Write 'Right' English

"I always have a dictionary in the drawer of my work-desk, both in the office and at home, and I use it frequently. It helps me understand the meaning of words and their usage so that I use the right word and avoid using words incorrectly.

This habit started in primary school, but over the years, my dictionaries have grown in size and are somewhat bigger than the ones I used in primary school."

~Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean (also Minister-in-charge of the Civil Service and Minister for Defence)
