English
English is argued to be the best language because it is universal, easy to learn, and can help in learning other languages. It is a universal language as many countries use it to communicate. It is easy for foreigners to learn English when visiting English-speaking countries. Knowing English also makes it easier to learn other languages like Japanese, Chinese, and Malay since some use the Roman alphabet or borrow English words. While English has evolved over time and is influenced by other languages, in Singapore it is often mixed with other languages.

It provides examples of when passive voice is used, such as in more formal or academic writing. It also discusses how to form passive sentences from active sentences by changing the subject and verb form. Tenses, negatives, questions, and verbs with prepositions or double objects are addressed when changing between active and passive voice.
Describing two pictures
The document provides tips for comparing two pictures in an English language exam. Students are shown two pictures and must compare or contrast the key details within 2-3 minutes. First, briefly describe each picture without details. Then note the similarities between the pictures using expressions like "similarly" or "likewise." Finally, highlight any differences using phrases such as "on the other hand" or "whereas." Follow this order and avoid overfocusing on one picture. Use vocabulary related to actions, landscapes, descriptions, feelings, times. Employ comparative structures, adverbs of degree, verbs of existence, and connectors to clearly show similarities and differences.
