Kevin]]> 2016-07-07 23:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nr12485/SAQ/wish/116087738 1.I have learned the structure of the answer. In the SAQ writing ,we should show our stance firstly,and then state thesis ,give the evidence to support our opinions (each paragraph includes one point ), in the end , make a conclusion.                                                                                   2.I need to enhance the skill of resources organization and try to use the information extracted from reading text. I also need to improve the writing speed to meet the requirement of the examination.                 3.The muddiest point : why we also need to put forward the solutions when we just be required to “identify and evaluate the challenges”or “analyse the causes and effects” ? https://padlet.com/nr12485/SAQ/wish/116087760   Penny
