The Lemon Orchard.
It was a great story! The plot was weaved so carefully and intelligently that every small detail reinforces the whole essay! I was so amazed that my jaw nearly dropped! Since the first time when we were asked to read the story, I overlooked those minor details. I wonder if we should consider doing that in our essays; the examiners might not capture it though.
Anyway,multi-sensory approach is the way to go. For it will help the reader to visualize what you have in mind. Just like in this story, I can totally see and feel what exactly happened! I guess this standard is what we should work towards for our O'levels.
I have also learnt the usefulness of dialouge(s)! Though I usually use about 6~9 of them in my essays, some of them, I feel, after reading this story, are redundant. Why? They don't tell the readers more about the essay! In The Lemon Orchard, even though the author only wrote about the "during" part, we all knew what happened before and going to happen. So, it can be concluded that dialouge(s) are to improve the readers understanding.
