How do I score good marks in English?
I've been getting many compliments for my answers in English exam. (I'm not bragging)Here are some of the impressive pointsIncrease your vocabulary.Try to write Rich English, by using effective and impressive words, which are quite tough and beyond your mates understanding.Use quotes and sayings. You can use Instagram or Tumblr to get good quotes, there are many such pages which have got English content of a high level. That would help you a lot! (Personal experience and now when people ask me how I get such good marks in English when nobody else can, I'm like I just use Instagram.)Use your creativity to answer. Don't mug up things which your teacher make you to write, rather answer on your own. As the teachers get bored off reading the same answer which she taught over and over again. So even you miss out something in your answer she wouldn't mind as you've written something unique.Make sure that you begin and end the answer in a very emphasizing way! It going to get you bonus marks!Write important things in quotation marks.Bring a moral message through your answer. (Depends on the question though)Try to spice up your answers using examples from our daily life, including current affairs.Read, read and read.Always make the answers interesting and use stuff to make the reader want to read.Here are some of my English answer sheets pictures.Letter writing : This is out of 5.Story writing : This is out of 10Novel answer : This is out of 10I don't have images of complete answers so please don't read and judge. I just clicked them to keep myself motivated.PS. - Don't judge my handwriting. I was in a hurry.
Do i need extra curricular activities for college?
You don't necessarily need a lot of extra-curricular activities to get into a good school. What colleges look for is that you have been committed to your academics as well as being committed to something that interests you. Some people think that they have to join every club and activity to get into the best college but that isn't necessarily true. If you commit a great deal of your time to something like a sport, community service, etc then you have a good chance. Just be yourself. Commit to you academics 100% and find something that you truly love to do then show that the schools how much you love it.
