⚠️ Expert Strategy: Letter vs. Story
In Question 6 (8 Marks), you have a choice between writing a Letter, a Story, or a Dialogue.
Our Advice: Always choose the Letter.
Why? The Letter has a fixed format (Examination Hall, Date, etc.) which guarantees 3-4 marks even if your body text has minor grammar errors. Stories are risky because one tense mistake can ruin the whole flow.

(Active/Passive Voice, Tenses)
