Today, we had the English Language Paper 1 for the End of Year Examination (EOY). There were two sections. Section 1 - Free Writing - had a word limit of 350 to 500 words, and we were advised to spend 1 hour on it. I spent 1 hour and a few more minutes on Section 1 - and wrote 5 pages (700-something words). It was only until after the exam that I realized how much I had written. For Section 2 - Functional Writing - the word limit was 250 to 350 words. I wrote 231 words, below the required word count by 19 words.

Guess I'll be penalised heavily. I hope the Chinese Paper 1 tomorrow goes well.
