How to prepare for General Paper (GP) essays.

Subscribe to trusted news sources. BBC News, CNA, Straits Times, etc.
Use social media (wisely). Follow reliable thought leaders, news channels and academic institutions on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube or Telegram.
Set up a daily news routine. (What better excuse to use social media!) Dedicate at least 10 mins a day to catching up on current affairs.
Make digital notes for easy reference. Summarise in 2-3 lines and write down key points and quotes that you can use in your essays.
