2017 A Level General Paper Results

Our A-levels 2017 cohort saw students from a range of junior colleges. While some were fairly strong in their language proficiencies, several students struggled with both content and language when it came to tackling the GP questions. Hence, it is with pride and delight that 72% of our GP students scored A's and B's, with 30% scoring 2 grades better than expected. Congratulations, class of 2017!

How to use "Whom" and  "Who"?
Many are often confused by the correct usage of the words "who", "whom" and "whose"; particularly "whom".

Interestingly, the word "whom" is not commonly used in modern spoken English, but rather in the formal written form. Generally, it is safer to use "who" if one is unsure, since the use of "whom" can be limiting.

The difference between these two relative pronouns is that "who" is used in the subject position of a sentence or phrase, whereas "whom" can only be used in the object position, or after a preposition.

Critical Thinking









Cloning: Should we be worried?
Scientists have successfully cloned two monkeys in China this year, using the same technique that created Dolly the Sheep. This is a big deal because monkeys are genetically similar to human beings. We are possibly one step closer to cloning humans.

However, just because we could does not mean that we should. Several ethical issues with regard to cloning may arise. For example, the rights of a cloned individual and a normal person might spark controversy. Furthermore, is it right to clone humans just to harvest their organs for transplants?


Questions to Consider

1. How can cloning of plants or animals benefit mankind?

2. Should humans be cloned? Explain your reasons clearly.
