General Paper is like some cheem topic that requires you to analyse the every fucking word in the question. So for example, here's one of the common test questions.
"Social change has diminished the importance of the family today" Discuss.
Which apparently killed some people because they didn't write according to what the question wanted.
Actually right, this is a trick question. You can never get your essay right if you attempt this question, because the keyword here is "today". That's the time frame you have to write about, that is to say, 24 hours. A typical essay will go something like:
Social change has diminished the importance of the family today. Today is a Thursday, so it ended late. Furthermore, today was a lecture day, and so it gave me a headache. i needed my family more than ever. Thus social change has not diminished the importance of family today. It might have yesterday, and it may tomorrow, but it has not today, the 14th of July 2006.
Therein lies the catch. Chances are the 'today' of which you write of in your essay will be different from the "today" when the teacher marks it. Therefore you will always be WRONG. So you know why you failed your gp.
Today i heard this phrase somewhere "father and mother with no children"
It's downright impossible. How can someone be a father or a mother if they don't have children?
Quote from my chem tutor wty: "Chem common test is like a game of chess, and studying the lecture notes is like mugging the rulebook." Words of wisdom indeed.
father and mother with no children
