4 Useful Tips for Secondary School English - Edit Your Habits for Editing!

In this video, I will be focusing on the Editing component found in the O Level Paper 1. For those of you who are unfamiliar or new to this component, allow me to highlight these important points: 1. This section requires you to identify and edit grammatical errors in a prose text. This is different from the editing component in primary school where you need to identify grammatical as well as spelling errors. 2. The text consists of 12 lines, and the first and last lines are correct. 3. For eight of the lines, there is one grammatical error each. You are required to circle each error and write the correct answer in the space provided. 4. There are two more lines with no errors. You will need to identify these two lines and put a tick for each of the answers. This is also the component in which my students often make careless mistakes. They would always ask me the same question: How can I minimise the number of careless mistakes I make for editing? And so in this video, I will share four useful tips and habits you can all practise which can help you minimise the careless mistakes you make for this particular section. Watch on!
