Question

How do I get full marks in the English Olympiad?

Community Answer

Practice. Look at previous years' papers, and this will give you an idea about the kind of questions you can encounter and the type of preparation you will need. Ask for guidance from your teachers, hire a tutor if necessary, and challenge yourself to do exercises and questions that seem tough to you. Increase your vocabulary. Try solving longer and tougher passages in less time. Work on speed and accuracy.

"The" precedes a specific item. "A" and "an" precede non-specific items. "A" for things that start with a consonant and "an" for things that start with a vowel.

Study the work of other people whom you consider to be good writers. Notice how they express their thoughts. You don't have to copy them, but let yourself be influenced by their use of words.
