I will address both of these points in my blog today.
What is the right type of language?
The right type of language in Secondary 3 English subjective writing should have these features:
I) It should be current
The current language is when you use words and phrases which are suitable to our context today.
The present context is about issues that define our society. Read up about this or watch some documentaries.
If you wish to write about culture and food, pick words like cuisine or fusion food. Calorie count and ‘diet friendly’ food will be interesting words that can add value in your writing.
Note that I have taken these words from trending topics.
These are current ideas so the words are current.
Current words should reflect the way people talk and think these days.

a) It should be based on accurate accounts
