In the examination, you may be given a choice of several topics. Our advice is that you choose a topic that is most familiar to you. Narrative or descriptive topics are easier. Normally you will be required to write not less than 200-250 words. We advise you to get use to writing within that constraint as examiners may ignore anything written exceeding the number of words allowed.
