Make sure you are healthy: Sickness can cause excessive feelings of tiredness and fatigue and will not allow you to concentrate on reading. If you are feeling as if you are not well, report to your parent, a nurse, or a doctor. Make sure you are well.
Eat when you feel like it: During the exam preparation period, you are advised not to overeat, and to avoid sleep. You need to eat little and light food whenever you feel like eating. Eat more fruits, drink milk and glucose. This will help you enhance retention.
Reduce your time on social media: Some people live their entire lives on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Messenger chat. This is so bad and catastrophic if you are preparing for exams. Try and reduce your time spent on social media during this time. Maybe after the exams, you can go back and sleep in it.

WAEC stands for West African Examination council; it is the examining body that delivers the basic O-Level examination for secondary school students in West Africa. Most, if not all, Nigerians who plan to further their education to the tertiary stage have to sit for the WAEC exams, also known widely as SSCE, or a combination of both that becomes WASSCE.

As with any examination, quite a lot of time is dedicated to the preparation stage , which is why it is normal to see one prepare for an examination of a few hours for months, or even years. This is also the case with WAEC examinations.

However, of all the subjects offered by WAEC, the English paper is often dreaded by secondary school students, mostly because of the way the WAEC English paper requires you to be creative with your answers.

But there is very little to fear if you know how to properly utilise WAEC English past questions to your advantage. The fear in question sort of evaporates when you infuse the element of using these WASSCE past questions to your utmost benefit.

Really, the beauty of having past questions to revise with is that it gives you a picture of what the actual exam will look like . In any case, the information and helpful ideas in this article should take you several steps ahead in preparing yourself for the SSCE English examination.

The Benefit of Revising with WAEC English Past Questions

Preparing for the WAEC English paper with past questions is perhaps the best way to ace the exam with confidence. Unlike many of the other exams that feature in WAEC, the English paper is peculiar because each answer is tailored to each individual, especially the essay and textual passages. Therefore, the English paper can be quite subjective because there is very little chance that your answers bear much similarity to another candidate’s.

As a result of this individuality in answers, most candidates often fret at the thought of what is required to pass the WASSCE English papers and the kind of questions contained therein. This is where the advantage of revising with past questions comes in. You might be wondering that past questions are also a great resource for other papers in WAEC. You are correct.

However, the very little difference is that the ultimate advantage of revising particularly with WAEC English past questions is the way it increases your creative confidence (because you might already be worried about the pressure of having your answers be unique to you) in preparing for the examination. It also helps build your creative and imaginative reaction to questions in the paper. When you see how these subjective answers are constructed in the past questions, it definitely prepares you for how to construct your own answers.

Using the WASSCE English Past Questions to your Advantage

Understand that the past questions are a weapon in your hand and, just as a sophisticated weapon is best utilised in the hands of right person, so are the past questions. Having the past questions with you is not enough. Using them to your advantage is.

Practice! Practice! Practice! This is the key to getting the best from the WAEC English past questions. You can choose to practice on your own but, before you decide this, you should be aware of the rules for the assessment. Knowing the rules for the exam will be a guide for how to comport yourself while practicing on your own in the comfort of your home or in alternative situations.

Either a teacher or a tutor can also help out in your preparation for the SSCE English paper. They are the experienced guides that can correct your path or provide the needed clarification for topics or areas that confuse or are beyond you. Another positive effect of having this support is that they can simulate the exam for you, taking note of timing and precision in answer construction, so you are in tune with what to expect in the examination hall.

It is quite important, whether practicing on your own or with a tutor , to try to enact the rules of the exam while answering the English past questions. Consider it your personal mock viva, although your school would also organise a mock assessment. In this case, see it as a bonus to practice getting more familiar with the past questions and living the exam setting experience. In planning to practice the past questions on your own, take note of the following:

Set your timer to the specified time allocation for the WAEC English exam.
Calculate the average time it takes you to move from one section of the English assessment paper to another.
Eliminate distractions by secluding yourself, especially when at home with parents and siblings.
Do not have your devices with you. Always understand that you’re creating an exam setting.

Things to Learn from Practicing with WAEC English Past Questions

The SSCE English paper is divided into sections that test your understanding of concepts in different areas of the language. There is the essay section which tests your ability to construct and develop an idea about a topic and produce a well-structured essay which reflects a command of vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Following closely behind are the comprehension and summary sections. They basically test your ability to analyse, interpret, and respond adequately to the provided texts to derive meaning from them. These sections form a major part of the fear that most secondary school students in Nigeria have about the WAEC English assessment.

The sections that come after these test your vocabulary, grammar, and spoken English skills . For many secondary school students, these appear easier, since one is only required to pick an option. But the danger here is that, if the knowledge of these multiple-choice sections is not perfected, the marks allocated to these multiple-choice sections, which form a substantial part of your marks, would be lost.

Whatever the case, there is very little to fear in the WAEC English paper if you practice adequately with the past questions and infuse the tips and instructions above.

But take note! Practicing with the WAEC English past questions would not be enough to guarantee success if there is a disregard for time. This is why it is strongly advised to always (or most of the time) practice the past questions under timed conditions to ensure that you operate as efficiently as the time allows. Many of us have found ourselves in situations where we had practiced adequately for an exam but, because of poor time management, failed to put down as much as we could before the time was up. That shouldn’t be the case with you.

Places to Find SSCE English Past Questions

In finding the right places for SSCE English past questions, you should first take note that there are online and offline resources to help you. These two forms, when utilised correctly, can prove to be the element of success you so desire in your WAEC English assessment.

There are electronic catalogues that are available to pick from which provide past question guides to prepare yourself for what to expect in the WAEC assessments across all subjects. Foremost among them is the official website for WAEC past questions . Although this is not equipped with downloadable materials, it provides the standard that you should work with to guide you away from the mistakes of past candidates.

There is a level of caution to be exercised, however, when scouting for websites that promise past papers for the WAEC English exam.

To avoid being misled, you can restrict your search to official or government-initiated websites.

Perhaps the best offline resources can be gotten through your teachers at school or, better still, your library, in the form of textbooks. Even if you don’t get resources for the WAEC exams from your teacher, you can still make them your guide in testing the level of your preparedness.

As you answer the past questions, don’t forget to resort to the rules in the marking schemes , which WAEC should provide to your school to help your teachers guide you from loopholes to avoid. Additionally, your teacher is also there to help you interpret and understand better what is required in each section of the exam through the marking schemes.

Alternatively, you can find experienced English tutors on Superprof to help you ace the WAEC English exam efficiently. You may find these tutors wherever you are in Nigeria or may choose to opt for a virtual class. All that matters is that you make the best of the tuition offered in preparation for the WASSCE English exam.

COMPREHENSION

Dele groaned and got out of bed. There was no clock on the mantel piece and the room was still dark, but he knew that he was already late for work, probably by an hour. He was a commercial bus driver and had to get started as early as 5.00a.m. and go almost non-stop till about 9.00 p.m. to be able to make the daily returns that the bus owner demanded.

On the previous day, he had attended an all-night party – a late uncle’s burial ceremony – where he had drunk himself almost senseless before crawling home in the early hours of the morning. Now, he got up shakily, splashed water on his face and hurried off to work, but not before carefully fastening on his upper left arm the amulet he had always worn for protection against accidents. A similar amulet hung concealed under the steering column of his bus. On his way, still feeling groggy, he caught his left toe against a stump and had some misgiving. It was a bad sign, and he was supposed to go back home and then set out again. But there was no time for that now, so he hurried on.

At the bus station, Dele quickly loaded his bus and sped off without any of the necessary checks on the vehicle. He had to make up for lost time. It was the rush hour, so the bus was overloaded as it often was, with many passengers hanging on to the doors. The tyres were threadbare, the brakes were faulty and the road was wet, but, still feeling a little sleepy, Dele sped on. Many passengers protested about his reckless driving, but he would not listen. After all, didn’t he have protection against accident?

As the vehicle took the last turn before its destination, Dele saw a broken-down truck blocking his side of the road. Under normal circumstances, he could have brought the bus safely to a halt, bur the circumstances were far from normal. The careering bus hit the parked vehicle, swerved wildly across the road and plunged into a ditch.

Dele’s surprise before he sank into oblivion was the failure of his supposedly protective amulets.

(a) Why did Dele wake up late?

(b) … he caught his left toe against a stump and had some misgivings . What does this tell us about Dele?

(d) Why was Dele unable to stop his faulty vehicle?

(e) What was Dele’s condition after the accident?

(f) After all, didn ’t he have protection against accident? What literary device is used in this expression?

(g) …wildly across the road…

(i) What grammatical name is given to the expression as it is used in the passage?

(ii) What is its function?

(h) For each of the following words, find another word or phrase which means the same and can replace it in the passage: i. probably;

ii. returns;

iii. groggy;

iv. misgiving

v. threadbare

vi. reckless.

(SUMMARY) [30 MARKS ]

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.

You cannot expect to go through life without meeting problems. Difficulties, perplexities and frustrations are an inevitable part of human experience. Accepting this idea of the inevitability of problems will help you to approach them in a robust frame of mind rather than thinking that you are a victim specially singled out by malignant fate. When confronted with a problem, the first thing to do is gather all relevant data to get acquainted with the facts of the case. Then write down exactly what the problem is, stating it simply in black and white. This gives you something definite with which to come to terms. The problem is assessed and you will now have something concrete to deal with.

Next, give serious thought to the problem, making sure that such thought does not degenerate into worry as worry accomplishes nothing. Aim at clear, dispassionate thought, viewing the problem as if it were a friend’s and not your own. Look at it from all angles and from the point of view of all concerned. You court disaster if you are entirely selfish in your outlook. The single important purpose of all this is to discover all possible solutions to the problem.

Having examined the problem broadly and impartially, carefully examine all the possible solutions or courses of action. The knowledge that you have done this will keep you from useless regrets later, when you can remind yourself that all courses of action were examined and you chose what appeared to be the best. Next, eliminate all proposed solutions which are seen on further thought to be impracticable.

You will now find that your list has been whittled down to two or three possibilities. At this stage it is often a good plan to get out into the open air. Go for a walk or a ride, preferably somewhere with wide horizons. There, out in the open, review the problem afresh. You will find it appears less formidable. Ask yourself how the difficulty will appear in ten years’ time or even one! This fresh review will enable you to make a final choice as you turn to the remaining solutions and, before you return home, decide which one you are going to adopt. As you go to sleep that night, let your last thoughts be upon your decision. If, in the morning, you still feel it is the best one to take, go ahead.

If you have a friend who is capable of giving sound advice, consult him. Do this before your final decision, so that you will have the benefit of his views before you decide. Talking things over with another is always a great help. It enables you to isolate the problem and to decide which on which factors are important. Even if the friend offers no advice, a sympathetic ear will help you. Furthermore, as you describe to your friend the courses open to you, you will see them in clearer light. Some will appear impossible even as you speak. Alternatively, one will appear most attractive.

In dealing with problems, remember the time factor. Although some problems solve themselves in time, and delaying tactics is therefore the best form of action for them, most other problems generally get more complicated the longer they are left. You should therefore get to grips with the problems immediately they occur.

All told, reasonable foresight and imagination can prevent many problems ever arising. Tact, thoughtfulness and responsible conduct can also keep life largely problem-free.

In six sentences, one for each , summarize the steps to be taken when faced with a problem and state why each step is necessary.

6. Table Tennis: – Roselyn Joe: Silver Medal – Singles Category

We commend the outstanding performances of our athletes, coaches, and support staff who worked tirelessly to bring glory to our school. Their dedication and hard work have made us immensely proud.

Our public facilities, ranging from parks and playgrounds to community centers and public transportation systems, play a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for citizens. These spaces are meant to foster social interaction, physical well-being, and community development. However, it is disheartening to witness their neglect and the subsequent decline in their usability and appeal.

The maintenance of public facilities is not merely a cosmetic concern; it directly impacts the safety and overall experience of the people who utilize them. Cracked sidewalks, broken equipment, and poorly maintained infrastructure not only diminish the aesthetic value of these spaces but also pose risks to public safety. Moreover, the lack of regular upkeep sends a message of apathy and disregard for the well-being of the citizens who depend on these facilities.

It is essential that we address this issue collectively and hold both the responsible authorities and ourselves accountable for the state of our public amenities. The government should prioritize the allocation of sufficient resources and funds towards regular maintenance programs. Adequate staffing, training, and monitoring mechanisms must be in place to ensure that public facilities are well-maintained and safe for public use.

In addition, we as citizens need to develop a sense of ownership and responsibility towards these facilities. It is our duty to report any maintenance issues promptly and encourage our communities to participate in volunteer initiatives aimed at preserving and improving our public spaces. By actively engaging in the upkeep of these facilities, we not only contribute to the overall well-being of our neighborhoods but also foster a sense of pride and unity among residents.

I urge the authorities to take immediate action in addressing the neglect of public facilities and implement effective maintenance strategies. I also encourage your esteemed newspaper to continue shedding light on this issue and advocate for the improvement of our public infrastructure. Together, we can create a positive change and ensure that future generations can enjoy well-maintained and vibrant public spaces.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe that by highlighting this issue, we can inspire action and bring about the necessary improvements for the benefit of our communities.

Yours sincerely,

[Your Name] ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Reviving the Vibrancy of Clubs and Societies: Reigniting the Flame of Engagement in Schools

In the bustling hallways and classrooms of our school, an important element seems to have lost its spark – the clubs and societies. Once vibrant and bustling with activity, they now lay dormant, overshadowed by the ever-increasing demands of academic pursuits. It is high time we recognize the crucial need to revive these invaluable organizations and reintroduce their profound impact on our personal growth and development.

Clubs and societies serve as the heartbeat of any educational institution. They provide a platform for students to explore their passions and interests beyond the confines of the classroom. From debating and drama clubs to sports teams and environmental societies, these extracurricular activities offer students an opportunity to engage in activities they are passionate about, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie among like-minded individuals.

First and foremost, reviving the activities of clubs and societies enhances the holistic development of students. As we navigate through the challenges of academic life, it is imperative to strike a balance between academic pursuits and extracurricular involvement. These organizations not only cultivate essential skills such as leadership, teamwork, and time management but also provide an avenue for self-expression and creativity. By engaging in a variety of clubs, students can develop a well-rounded personality and uncover hidden talents, which may go unnoticed within the confines of a classroom.

Furthermore, clubs and societies serve as a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery. They act as a laboratory of experiences, enabling students to step out of their comfort zones and confront new challenges. For instance, a shy and introverted student might discover their flair for public speaking by joining the debating society. Similarly, a budding artist may find a platform to showcase their artistic prowess through participation in an art club. These transformative experiences shape character, build resilience, and instill a sense of confidence, paving the way for future success.

Moreover, clubs and societies foster a sense of community and social responsibility within our school. They provide a space where students from diverse backgrounds can come together, united by a shared passion or interest. Through collaborations, events, and community outreach initiatives, these organizations create opportunities for students to develop empathy, compassion, and a sense of social consciousness. Engaging in activities that benefit society instills a sense of pride and responsibility, nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also socially aware.

In light of these significant benefits, it is essential for our school community to rally together and rekindle the flame of engagement within our clubs and societies. Teachers and administrators must play an active role in creating an environment that encourages and supports extracurricular involvement. They can organize workshops, awareness campaigns, and orientations to showcase the myriad opportunities available to students. Additionally, regular meetings, competitions, and events must be planned and executed to maintain interest and participation.

Likewise, it is incumbent upon us, the students, to seize these opportunities and actively engage in clubs and societies. Let us step forward, join these organizations, and wholeheartedly contribute our time, talent, and passion. By doing so, we will not only enrich our own lives but also create a vibrant and dynamic school culture that celebrates diversity and individuality.

In conclusion, reviving the activities of clubs and societies is vital for the holistic development and growth of students. These organizations provide a fertile ground for personal exploration, skill development, and social engagement.

Once upon a time in a small village nestled among rolling hills, there lived a kind-hearted farmer named Thomas. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family, cultivating his land with utmost care. However, the village had experienced a drought for several months, leaving the fields parched and barren. Thomas watched helplessly as his crops withered away, his hopes fading along with them.

One morning, Thomas received news that a neighboring village had been blessed with rain and their fields were flourishing. Filled with determination, he decided to seek assistance from his prosperous neighbors. With a small sack slung over his shoulder, he set off on a long journey towards their village.

Arriving tired and hungry, Thomas humbly explained his situation to the villagers. Moved by his plight, the villagers were willing to help but couldn’t spare much due to their own needs. A kind farmer named Robert approached Thomas and offered him half a loaf of bread, apologizing for not being able to provide more.

Thomas gratefully accepted the half loaf, understanding that half a loaf was better than none at all. With renewed energy, he set off on his return journey, cherishing the small hope that the half loaf represented. As he walked, he contemplated the saying, “Half a loaf is better than none,” and realized its profound truth.

Back in his village, Thomas shared the bread with his family. Though it was a modest portion, it brought nourishment and lifted their spirits. Inspired by the half loaf, Thomas devised a plan. He gathered his fellow farmers and proposed they pool their resources to combat the drought collectively. Though skeptical at first, the villagers agreed, realizing that half a loaf was better than none when faced with adversity.

Together, they dug channels to redirect water from a distant river to their fields, implemented efficient irrigation techniques, and supported one another in their efforts. Despite the ongoing drought, the collective action yielded positive results. The crops began to grow, and hope returned to the hearts of the villagers.

Word of their success spread, and neighboring villages sought guidance from Thomas and his fellow farmers. They willingly shared their knowledge and resources, emphasizing the power of unity and the importance of making the most of limited resources. As the villages banded together, the effects of the drought were mitigated, and the communities flourished.

The saying, “Half a loaf is better than none,” resonated throughout the region as a symbol of resilience and resourcefulness. It reminded people that even in the face of adversity, it was crucial to make the most of what they had, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.

Years later, the drought ended, and the villages thrived. Thomas, now regarded as a wise elder, continued to impart the lessons he learned from that half loaf of bread. He emphasized the importance of gratitude, humility, and the power of unity in overcoming challenges.

And so, the saying “Half a loaf is better than none” became a timeless reminder that with determination, cooperation, and a positive mindset, even the smallest of provisions can lead to great achievements. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

How to write an excellent WAEC essay

I was completely clueless about writing strategies when I was in secondary school preparing for WAEC. Of course my friends came to me seeking guidance…

I was completely clueless about writing strategies when I was in secondary school preparing for WAEC. Of course my friends came to me seeking guidance on how to write their essays. My approach and answer to their quest was to grab a pen, train it at the paper and to begin writing furiously to beat time. After I had written paragraphs, I told them: “like this.” Of course it worked for me. But I don’t think it did for my friends/students.

The only improvement on the above approach was to tell them what my teachers told me and what many English teachers tell their students: “Use outline,” that way you would be guided on what to write. Although this is a fair point, the benefit of outlining is rather limited. For a student who doesn’t know how to argue persuasively or doesn’t understand that writing is like joining a conversation or having a discussion, outlining wouldn’t help. He would do the outlining alright, but that wouldn’t improve the quality of the writing. It would be “step one, I will write this nonsense, then followed by that nonsense, I will also not forget to write the other nonsense.”

I managed to pass the English language paper and so did many of my friends. But I’ve since learned that for any writing (actually for anything) I do, it helps to develop a system on how to accomplish it, so that when inspiration refuses to prod you with its mesmerizing fingers, one would wheel out the system and produce content at will.

Some teachers are doing an amazing job, where some get it wrong however, is when they focus on grammar and other technicalities like proper address and punctuation. But you have to have content before you think about punctuation. Many students already have sufficient punctuation skills anyway, what is usually the challenge is producing the words. And essays are nothing but words properly arranged. So what approach can students use to easily generate the words at will and under the pressures of the examination? This is the question I try to answer today.

A more appropriate question would be, if I were a secondary school student preparing for WAEC, how would I approach the essay question?

I would use two things: a strategy and a template/steps. My strategy would be to answer any question that gives me an opportunity to argue. Luckily, out of the five (they used to be six in the late 80s and 90s) essay questions, four of them satisfy this condition. I bought the past questions book from Amab, a bookstore belonging to a friend in Minna yesterday to prepare for this column. While reading the book, I observe that out of the five questions, at least two are letters (formal and informal), one is a speech or debate, one is an article suitable for publication and the last question is usually a story that illustrates and ends with a moral of some description.

Only the last question could be viewed as not providing the opportunity for argument – but even that is arguable.Why do we choose questions which offer the opportunity for argument? This is due to the fact that it is the nature of man to argue – including about things he knows nothing about. If you doubt my claim, visit any group on the social media. It’s where people join discussion without first asking what the discussion is about. A commenter on the U.K. Guardian website accurately described this phenomenon: “Ah, the internet, where strongly-held opinions are strongly put, and facts be damned.”

Except that it is not only on the internet that people have strong-held opinions. They do so too offline. And even if someone doesn’t have an opinion, he can instantly generate one depending on the question you ask.

That’s why, when I want to elicit a lot of comments on my Facebook page, I couch a post in the form an argument. For example, “what is your assessment of this administration in the last two and half years?” would not generate as much reaction as “do you think this administration has performed well or poorly and what reasons do you have to justify your opinion?” now watch as everyone becomes a skilful debater.

It is for the same reason why questions are easier to respond to than statements. If I say, “write about WAEC” you may struggle to come up with words to use in your response, but if I say, “in what ways do you think WAEC has been useful to schools and students in West Africa?” now you don’t have to think deeply before you’re able to answer that question. That’s why when writing becomes a challenge for me, as it often becomes, I simply ask relevant questions such as why, how and so what.

Now that I’ve my strategy, the second thing I need is a template and the steps to follow for the student to easily produce more words than he or she needs. The next column will address that. Therefore, whether you’re a student preparing for WAEC or a teacher preparing students or anyone who no longer wants to suffer from paucity of words when writing should read this column next week.

The 5-Paragraph Essay: A Simple Way to Write WAEC Essay

– Dr Ibraheem Dooba

When we were in secondary school, we had excellent English teachers. However, while they taught us essay writing, they paid scant attention to how to write it. That is, we were not shown the moves that matter in essay writing. This means that while we could tell a good essay from a bad one, we didn’t know the steps to follow to write good ones. So, we were left to shoot in the dark, sometimes we hit the target, some days we missed. Today, I want to remove students from the uncertain situation.

I understand that senior secondary students have started writing their NECO examinations and that they will sit for the English language exam on the second of August 2021.

Accordingly, the 5-paragraph essay is one useful tool that any student can use to write the required 450 words effortlessly. As the name implies, this essay is written in five paragraphs: one each for the introduction and conclusion and three paragraphs for the body.

The good thing about this tool is that you can use it to write any of the six questions in the essay section – from the formal letter to the article for publication.

But if I were a student writing the examination, I would choose to answer the debate question or the informal letter. The debate is easy to tackle. However, there are some years (such as WAEC 1997) that do not feature the debate question – even though such omissions are rare. When that happens, you should choose to write an informal letter.

In this article, I will show you how to write an essay using the 5-paragraph technique, then I will use one of the WAEC (1996) questions to implement the steps.

Here is a summary of how to write the essay: in the introduction, tell the readers what you want to tell them. In the body, tell them (using three or more points). Finally, use the conclusion to tell them that you have told them. Let me explain each step.

Introduction

The goal of the introduction is to tell your reader what the essay is about. Therefore, the introduction of a debate is divided into three parts: the greetings, stating your position (whether you’re opposing or proposing) and a brief mention of your three points.

Example: “Mr Chairman, the panel of judges, the time-keeper, my co-debaters, ladies and gentlemen. I stand before you today to oppose the motion that says ‘the female child is more beneficial to her parents than the male child’. In doing that, I will support my position with the following three points: one, the male child is the only one guaranteed to keep the family name. Two, it is the male child who shoulders the responsibility of providing for the family and the male presence in the family is enough security. In the next paragraphs, I will argue each point in detail.”

The body has three paragraphs. One paragraph for each point. Some students find the body to be the most difficult part to write. After writing the first sentence of their point, they get stuck. They don’t know how to explain the point to increase their word count. I have a solution. For every paragraph, follow five steps: one, state your point. Two, use meta-commentary to repeat the point once or twice (setting it off by using phrases like that is, this means that, in essence, etc.). Three, give an example. Four, use a proverb, a quote or a metaphor and explain it. Five, introduce a naysayer. That is, argue the viewpoint of your opponent and immediately attack it. For example, “my opponent will argue that female children are more beneficial to their parents because they help in the kitchen. But that argument is weak if you consider the fact that it is the male child who provides the food for the parents. So I believe that the person who provides is more useful than the person who prepares.”

Then move on to the next point. If you follow the above five steps for each paragraph, you would never be short of what to write again. To demonstrate, let me write one complete paragraph.

“First, the male child keeps the family name. This means that it is the boy who perpetuates the father’s name. In essence, the girl will get married and adopt her husband’s name. For instance, my friend’s sister got married and changed from Maryam Ahmad Bukar to Maryam Mahmud Sodangi. Since they are the only children of their parents, it became the sole responsibility of my friend to maintain the father’s name. I agree with our religious teacher who was fond of saying “you boys are supposed to be the providers, the protectors and guardians to your female relatives. You should remember this responsibility. A boy is never too young to learn this.” The essence of my teacher’s counsel was to prepare us to shoulder our responsibilities and be the pillars of our families and communities. I know that the opposing speakers would say that some cultures, such as Islam, allow – even mandate – their women to keep their fathers’ names. I concede that this is true. But you should also concede that even in the Islamic culture, some women prefer to use their husband’s names.”

Easy isn’t it? I generated 178 words in the paragraph above because I followed the five steps. Two additional paragraphs will fetch you 500 words. So you should follow the same steps for the remaining two points. If you do that, your problem would be having too many words. But that is a better problem to have than having too few.

The conclusion is like the introduction except that it restates what you have already stated and why that is important. So it also has three parts: one, restate your position. Two, mention the three points again. Three, mention why your position is important and why it should be accepted.

“In conclusion, I am opposed to the motion say says boys are less beneficial to their parents and poignantly argued my position with irrefutable facts; namely, the male child is the only one guaranteed to keep the family name, it is he who shoulders the responsibility of providing for the family and it is the male child who offers security for the family. This position is important because while it is commendable to fight for the equality of women, it is completely unacceptable to demote and demean the men in the process.”

I wish you the best grade in your examination.
