I am afraid I will be out of topic...
so let say the title is silence,

It was a silence day, supported by an inclement weather...
-----------------------------------------------
so if I put silence just in one line, it can be counted as out of topic?

As long as you're writing a story, 'out of topic' doesnt apply.
But try to make your story relevant to the title word. Yeah, I suppose you could put the title word in just one sentence, but beware though, "It was a silence day" is a wrong sentence smile.gif

Erm,i'm an spm leaver so if u dun mind,i wanna drop a few lines here lol~
Erm, english in spm is quite lenient in a way..
Many ppl frm my batch had scored A1/A2 although they usually get b4/c5 in normal exams..
I dun believe in miracles so i think its bcoz the standard is low?
4give my abrupt manners..
Those so-called A1 went to take IELTS and fared badly..Around 3 stg..
Which showed that eng standard in spm is quite low..
The thing u need 2 focus is on the Triple one nine (319?? ^^)
Anyways, that's just my view so good luck for spm..
Cheers..
Btw, try 2 get max marks for paper 2 n the guided writing..
U cn screw up the long essay but it wont be so bad if ur marks in paper 2 n guided is high..

As for open title essays such as stars,girls and etc, i recommend dun take as its very subjective and therefore chances 2 lose marks is high..
Go for factual essays which u can do n bombard with facts n etc..

xD

I for one never liked writing factual essays.
For me it's always story writing, as the topic is entirely up to me and I'm free to write about anything and everything I desire. =P
Depends on the individual really, some people are strong with presenting facts which require concrete and concise English, while creative writing requires well, creative language and decent usage of adjectives. smile.gif
