Specific Suggestions for Student's Needs 针对学生需求的具体建议

Essay Structure & Application: 论文结构与应用：

For 6-mark application questions, practice writing out a full paragraph that smoothly integrates 2-3 pieces of evidence from the extract. 对于6分的应用题，练习写出一个能流畅整合文本中2-3条证据的完整段落。
When answering 'Discuss X' questions worth high marks (12 marks), explicitly state in the plan that you will address Factor A fully before moving to Factor B. 在回答高分（12分）的“讨论X”问题时，明确在计划中说明将在转向因素B之前完全论述因素A。
