-- English educator and writer Lee Lin Cher has launched a free e-book, Superficial Guide to Situational Writing for Paper 1 of the Singapore-Cambridge SEC (O Level) English Examination, a light-hearted but useful resource designed to help students revise the core formats tested in O Level English Situational Writing.
The free e-book gives students a concise reference for common Situational Writing text types, including letters, emails, reports, proposals, speeches, articles, brochures and flyers. It combines bare-minimal formats, explanatory notes and deliberately short model samples so students can focus on recognising structure, purpose, audience and tone before developing fuller answers in the examination.

Written in Lee’s trademark humorous style, the guide uses playful examples and candid reminders to make revision more memorable. While the sample responses are intentionally brief, the e-book encourages students to use the formats as scaffolds rather than finished scripts, helping them avoid common format mistakes while still writing sufficiently developed answers.
“Many students know what they want to say but lose marks because they forget how a text type should look or sound,” said Lee Lin Cher. “This guide gives them quick, memorable format cues — with enough humour to make revision less painful.”
