Hello friend, can you be more specific about the kind of help we should give you? I found something great online... google this: thestar.com.my/education/story.asp?file=/2008/8/24/education/1832700&s ec=education - "tips on directed writing"

Maybe you have some writing samples we can look at, and we'll give suggestions.

My favorite place to study is my room. i feel calm in it because it is mostly big. there is a bookcase on the wall and a window on the either side of the door that i can see the street when I open it. the colour of my room is blue and i think this colour give me a feel of calm and relaxation,but there is a problem, all the time there are alot of people and cars in the street and it makes too much noises and i can not concentrate on my studying or listening to the tape.

just as i thought:) well the teenagers wala thing u rote was kindda xeeding the word limit by 50 - 70 words! u do no dat once the word count is above 500 words the examiner wouldnt bother reading it?

which school do u go to?? arnt the teachers ny help? im doing my o levels too:) well as far as directed writing is concerned never go for argumentative writing! descriptive are the easiest and if you have a wild kindda imagination then go for the one word topics and write a story on it! o btw if you write a narrative make sure it has no dialouges and always write the narrative or story in past tense.

in case of a descriptive essay avoid repetition of words and use lost ov adjectives for a single characteristic like maybe wn talking about someones eyes you could write HIS SHINING, DEEP BLUE EYES or HER SOFT, ROSY RED LIPS . in case of a story set the scene first (describe the sounds smell and things around you) and then add in alotta emotions into the story! :) O and one last thing watever you choose to write, alwayz make a plan first! seperate half n hour for planning and the 2nd half for actuallu ritin d story!

hope i was helpful enuf:)

i was told to not attempt descriptive because you need a good grasp of figures of speech like personification metaphors and similes. Besides this, you are not suppose to use I or My in descriptive. For example if you are describing your grandparents you can't write ' I was so pleased to meet him' an so forth

i second meeshal that you must not include dialogues in narratives
so i guess story is the easy way out
