Social Issues & Trends@SG: From Buildings to Gardens, Wildlife and Food

Students struggle to rise beyond anecdotal observations whenever they attempt to evaluate ideas with local perspectives in mind or AQ or Singapore-based questions in Paper 1. It's quite sad and ironic that we can't even talk about our own society properly, let alone compare it with others in mind.

This is an updated version of an earlier resource uploaded on Discovery.
Try to know 'something' of everything. Pick your favourite site and focus on 3-4 good ideas and examples in each.

Thing is, you never know. With SG 50 around the corner and the fact that the paper was set 2 years ago, any theme may be featured. The objective is not so much to test. Your markers in England are looking forward to hearing well-substantiated perspectives about your life and experience here.

You deserve to be heard and rewarded-
