English Paper 2 WASSCE (PC), 2021

Question 5

     

    Write a story that illustrates the saying: Once bitten, twice shy.


Observation

The candidate is required to write a story that illustrates the saying: Once bitten, twice shy which means an unpleasant experience induces caution. Many of the candidates that attempted this question wrote interesting stories to illustrate the saying. However, a few wrote irrelevant stories which failed the structure of story-telling: beginning-climax-conclusion. Poor use of language also marred their narration.
