What Mages says about Writing
Testimonials
Hear what some of our happy students have to say!
“This workshop was very interesting and it has taught me many new things that I have not learnt. For example, when we see the composition question, we need to enlarge the problem making it more complicated. By enlarging the problem, I find that I have more things to write and that makes the composition more interesting. I also learnt that by having a good introduction, it will interest the marker to continue reading.”
“I have overcome my fear of writing difficult pictures and I also learnt to make my composition more interesting by making the problem more problematic. Making the introduction more interesting to lure the reader and also using sensory words to describe movements or actions enables me to write a better story.”
“The workshop was very helpful and effective as I do see improvements in my writing. I am now able to expand my plot and write more interesting stories. I am now able to appreciate writing and I am looking forward for more of such workshops.”
“The workshop is very helpful for me and I see a lot of improvements in my writing. I learnt a lot of things such as I have to ‘show’ and not ‘tell’ as that would make my story more interesting. I also learnt how to make the problem more problematic as this helps to interest the reader more.”
“I enjoyed the workshop as now I do not feel writing is a chore but a fun activity. I am also not scared of writing a picture composition anymore.”
“I learnt to make the problem more problematic. I also learnt how to use ‘showing’ sentences rather than ‘telling’ sentences. I know now how to create suspense in the introduction.”
Programme
How Mages can help your child write better!
The programme is designed by renowned Writing specialist Mages. Mages is a trained teacher with more than a decade of experience teaching in one of Singapore’s premium schools.
The writing programme is meticulously designed based on the premise that young learners who aspire to write effectively must first and foremost cultivate the habit of writing in Standard English. Essentially, the students’ writing must be grammatically accurate, fluent, intelligible, and suitable for different audiences. This skill ideally should be developed from the early stages of their learning processes. Keeping this key criterion in mind, the programme adopts 3 broad methodologies to achieve the goal. These methods will then branch out to little steps and processes.
