Quick questions on Planning your essay: N(A)-Level Continuous Writing
3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is choosing the best topic?Show answer
You are given four topics in different styles (a personal recount, a discursive question, a description, a story). Pick the one you can develop best with real, specific detail, not just the one that sounds easiest. Ask: do I have a clear example or experience for this? Can I think of three points or events?
What is too many points, no depth?Show answer
Cramming six thin points is worse than developing three well. Plan one clear idea per paragraph.
What is no clear ending?Show answer
Stopping suddenly when time runs out loses the conclusion mark. Plan the ending from the start.
