    Try PEEL to write your paragraph
    Point:what your idea.
    Example:give an example of the idea
    Explains: explain the effect and cause of the example.
    Link: Connect to the question and your point

      Sonia Wadhwani so for example:
      Point: one cause of world war two was the unfair clauses of the treaty of versailles.
      Example,: for example, Germany was named the main reason the war occured even though all countries were participants.
      Explain: due to the particitipation of orher countries during the fight hitler could not be the sole blamed party. Moreover, the land taken from germany as well as the high reperations made a ww2 inevitable. The question was a matter of when it was going to happen.

    I actually prefer essay questions and detest multiple choice as they are very tricky. I usually do an outline of what I am going to write about to help me organize my work. Since I know my professor well, I know what he/she is looking for. Give them what they want and you always get the highest grade in the class :)

    P.S. Essays have never been an issue for me. These are the time limits that put a great pressure on you. Thus, no draft should be written, only catchy phrases, ideas and strong points. At least this works when it comes to taking Cambridge exams/ university non-technical exams.

  • @marylancelot
    @marylancelot 6 лет назад +2

    Essay questions are my favourite type of questions. In Finland matriculation exams last 6 hours and you have to answer 6 essay questions. Most of my friends absolutely hated these tests but to be honest, I kinda enjoyed taking them. Also what I find amusing is that in these essays you are supposed to repeat the question. Thesis statements aren't used until in university.

    in our school we use the format of TEEL
    Topic sentence
    Example
    Explanation
    Link
    for the two E's doesn't matter how you order them eg: explanation and example. you can also extend yourself by doing
    topic sentence
    example
    explanation
    example
    explanation
    Link
    only works on body paragraphs

    • @bxyanda
      @bxyanda Год назад

      I feel that the explanation should come after example, because you would state something, then explain, not vice versa. Also, a paragraph should generally have one main idea, so 2 examples would be messy

    Hi Frank,
    Your videos are really useful. Can you make a video on how to pass a verbal exam?
    In Serbia, most of our exams are verbal. Meaning, we need to know the whole textbook, like you do, but the exams are conceptualized a bit differently - we go into the classroom full of students, and professors call out one by one, and everyone, when it's their turn pulls out 3 questions from a pile of questions. You always have 5-10 min to write a concept, and then give the answers. Of course, professors will usually stop you to ask some sub-questions on the spot. How would you tackle the oral exams? So, it's not 1, it's about 7-12 per year.
