Primary PSLE Chinese Composition: Proven Steps to a High-Score Essay in 50 Minutes | Singapore Chinese Tutor Ms Chen
Students who usually write well but perform poorly in exams often struggle with time constraints: they take over 2 hours to practice, but only have 50 minutes during the exam. The key solution is advance preparation. By memorizing high-scoring introduction and conclusion templates tailored to the four main PSLE composition question types, students can directly apply them during the exam, completing these sections in just 5 minutes. The remaining time can then be focused on developing the body of the composition, effectively overcoming time limitations to easily achieve scores above 30, or even reach as high as 37.

The primary reason students underperform in composition during exams is poor time management. During practice, they may spend over two hours writing, but the exam strictly limits them to fifty minutes. This time includes analyzing the question, planning, and using a dictionary, leaving only about thirty-five minutes for actual writing, which hinders their ability to perform to their full potential. However, with a strategic preparation approach, students can still write high-scoring essays within this limited time.

The key lies in preparing in advance for the four common composition question types (e.g., good deeds, learning from mistakes) and pre-designing templates for them. For instance, the first paragraph, second paragraph, and conclusion can be memorized beforehand. Students simply need to quickly adapt these templates to the exam topic, eliminating the need to waste time thinking during the test. This allows students to finish the introduction in about five minutes, then focus twenty-five to thirty minutes on writing the body/content, and finally spend five to ten minutes completing the outcome and conclusion.
Although this method has an exam-oriented nature, it effectively helps students achieve high scores under time pressure. By memorizing and practicing templates and refined model essays provided by the teacher, students can steadily improve their scores, even reaching a high level of 37 marks. In conclusion, advanced preparation and template-based training are crucial for overcoming the time constraints in exams.
