National Examinations Council
NECO English Language · Paper II — Essay
Written answers, marked against a rubric.
4 exam-style questions, written to the National Examinations Council format and free to read. The answers are here too — what they do not tell you is how many you would get right with a clock running.
1. Write an argumentative essay for or against the motion: examinations should be replaced by continuous assessment in Nigerian secondary schools.
2. Write an article suitable for publication in your school magazine on the topic: the effect of social media on the reading habits of young people.
3. You are the senior prefect of your school. Write a speech you would deliver at the send-off ceremony of the outgoing final-year students, advising them on how to face life after secondary school.
4. Write a letter to the chairman of your local government area complaining about the state of the road that serves your community, describing the effect it has had on residents and suggesting two things that could be done.
Reading these is not the same as sitting them.
Every question above is answerable given time. The exam does not give you time. Sit the whole paper on the real clock and the number you get back is the one that means something.
