Dear Parents or students,

Thank you for your interest in the June Holiday Revision Programme for General Paper.

The June Holiday Revision Programme focuses on ensuring that all students acquire the

necessary essay writing and comprehension skills required for their General Paper

examination. During the programme, all students will be taught on how to develop their

spontaneous thinking skills to create a persuasive and systematic order of argument and

express their arguments in the respective paragraphs to support the development of an

effective essay. As for the comprehension, the focus is on the skill development on reading,

extraction of information and answering techniques that will enable to comprehend the

different types of questions for their comprehension paper.

As for factual knowledge, it will be conducted during our regular tuition class after the June

Holiday Revision Programme. Our General Paper Programme seeks to enrich the students

with at least nine topics of factual content that will adequately prepare the students thenecessary knowledge to answer most of the essay writing questions. During the June

Holiday Revisionary Programme, one topic of factual content will be taught and used as the

basis of teaching for skill development.

We hope the information that we have provided would be of great help to you and, if you
