May I know when do we need to use a header like the one below in situation writing. I have went through some assessment books, most of the reports and emails only requires Dear Sir, ...... and ends with Yours sincerely. Thanks.

Hi, I actually called MOE regarding format in Situational Writing and the officer who called me back only answered with this: There is no prescribed format.

Go figure what that means...

Q: Some of the electronic equipment (WAS) destroyed in the fire and can no longer be used.

Why is the ans was but not were?

This is because equipment is an uncountable noun. There is no such word as equipments.

Hi, I actually called MOE regarding this issue and the officer who called me back only answered with this: There is no prescribed format.

Hi,


Can someone help with this Q5, the answer key for \"undaunted\" is \"unfazed\" but why not \"unflinching\" ? Thanks.

Q5. undaunted
unfazed
uncertain
unresolved
unflinching


I was on tenterhooks even before the race began. My (1) nervousness was obvious to those around me. My heart was pounding so quickly I was sure it was (2) loud and clear from a distance. The doctor had reminded me that taking part in the competition would mean a (3) worsening of my condition but I was adamant to represent my school in the race as it was my only chance. When I heard the starter gun, I took off like a deer pursued by its hound. Then what the doctor feared most happened; my kneecap (4) yielded to the pressure. \"No, please, no!\" I cried to myself. The gnawing pain grew. Me legs weakened and I collapsed. When I came to, I was unable to walk and my movement was restricted. However, I was (5) undaunted.

The answer is unfazed because it means to be resilient in the face of difficulties, like undaunted.
Unflinching is not possible because you would have to use it like \"She showed an unflinching determination.\" You cannot say \"I was unflinching.\"

Hope this helps.

Hi,


Are the ans correct to these S&T ? If incorrect, can help to explain ? Thanks.

(1) A lady spoke to you a minute ago. She is my teacher.
Ans : The lady who you spoke to a minute ago is my teacher.

(2) Only Paul paid attention to the instructor. No one else paid attention to the
instructor
Ans : No one else except Paul paid attention to the instructor.

(1) A lady spoke to you a minute ago. She is my teacher.
Ans : The lady who spoke to you a minute ago is my teacher.

The grammar rule here is 'who' comes before a verb, whereas 'whom' is usually sandwiched between 2 nouns.

(2) Only Paul paid attention to the instructor. No one else paid attention to the
instructor
Ans : No one else except Paul paid attention to the instructor.
This is correct.
