Lower secondary English editing

A common misconception is writing is just that: writing. However, a lot of effort goes into the process of developing a piece of writing to make it presentable; and editing is a critical element of this process. The new GCE ‘O’ Level Syllabus 1128 recognises this by introducing a section on editing. Lower Secondary English Editing is specially designed to develop the student’s skill in identifying and editing grammatical errors. With this as its sole focus, the student will get ample practice in helping him/her score in this specific section. Though the weightage of this section may be small, every mark makes a difference and perfecting one’s skill in this component will pull one closer to one’s desired grade in the English examination. The passages in this book are designed to expose students to a wide variety topics so that the knowledge and language skills they acquire through reading them may be applied to the other components of their English examination, giving them a holistic improvement in the langauge. We are confident that this book will give students the needed edge in their quest for academic excellence.
