Congratulations to those who have done well and shown improvements!
For those B graders, you still have time to catch up if you don't give up now.
To Yuan Bin, I hope this serves as a wake-up call. Complacency is the biggest enemy of success.

SW - Letter to Residents (Lost Rabbit)
Take note of the following common mistakes:
1. 2nd October 2008 --> Wrong
2 October 2008 --> Correct
'nd' is not necessary after the numeral 2. Some pupils wrote as 2th!
Some left out the year.
2. I had lost... --> Wrong
I lost ---> Correct
"had lost" is past participle. Refer to the first point. It says 'the date
you lost your rabbit', NOT 'the date you had lost your rabbit'.
3. blk 53 --> Wrong
Blk 53 --> Correct
This is a proper noun. Hence, the first letter must be capitalised.
4. Blk 53 -->incomplete information
lift lobby at Blk 53 --> complete information
5. The two physical features is... --> Wrong
The two physical features are... --> Correct
Subject-verb agreement. Subject (The two physical features) is plural.
6. favourite food and favourite toy are not examples of physical features.
Physical features refers to characteristics of the physique/body.
The two physical features are:
- female
- brown and white
7. heart condition. --> Wrong
a/her heart condition. --> Correct
'a heart condition' is a singular noun. Hence, it needs a quantifier. In
this example, the quantifier is 'a'.
Suggested answer:
4 October 2008
Lost Rabbit
Dear residents
I have lost my pet rabbit, Dottie, on 2 October 2008 (1m). I was at the lift lobby of Blk 53 (1m) when I found out that my rabbit was missing.
Dottie is a female (1m) and has brown and white fur (1m). She is in need of care because of her heart condition (1m). I can be contacted at 97897894 (1m).
Thank you for your attention.
Regards
