Breaking Down Essay & Short Answer Questions
最常见的是人们在考试的分析部分斗争。问题似乎似乎太乱了，很多是写的，但并不是说。
In order to understand HSC English questions, first and foremost read the question fully – this way you get an idea of what’s being asked and what you might need to do or include in your answer.
要带您通过如何分解和分析HSC英语的论文或简短的回答问题，这是我们将使用逐步带走的示例！
Step 1: Highlight Key Words and Sections
Then go through with a pen or highlighter and break the question apart!
If the questions has to parts or ‘sections’ use a different colour for each so that they’re easier to identify.
Now we’re ready to start interpreting what the question is asking.
Step 2: Outline Each Key Word or Section
You do this by taking each outlined section individually and defining the key words and then write a short sentence about what this means in relation to the question or topic!
“Individual’s identity”
个人=一个人，identity=一个人是谁。
这意味着你将处理一个人格的身份以及他们对自己的感受。
“They perceive”
They= the individual,感知=解释，理解或尊重。
This means you’re going to be focusing on how the character understands, thinks or feels about something.
“与他人和世界的联系”
Connections= relationships or links,其他= other people,世界=自然，环境，社会等
这意味着您正在考虑角色如何与其周围的人，地方和社会相关。
“How is this view represented”
How= in what way,看法=上面的概念/想法，represented= shown.
这意味着您将通过不同的文学技术，场景等显示问题的第一部分（“个人的身份......”）的方式写入。
“Prescribed text and ONE related”
This simply means you should be referring to both the text you were prescribed in class and one text you studied yourself. Make sure to include quotes and specific references.
第3步：根据您的轮廓重写问题
By joining these explained meanings together, we’re able to create a rewritten question that’s much easier to understand;
Who a character is, as an individual, is shaped by the way they understand their links to other people and nature, the environment and society.
以上的想法是在您的规定文本和相关文本中显示的想法？
那是什么意思？
通过看这个问题的第一部分，我们可以完全理解被问到的内容。点点关键的想法或“问”每个部分，你完全有你需要做的事情！
What to Write
- Write about one specific character and who they are
- 写关于他们的感受their links to people/places/society
- Write about how those feelings influence who the character is
- Write about specific scenes, techniques, etc. that show this
- Use quotes and examples from your prescribed and related texts
At the end you’ll have about five dot points – which may seem like a lot, but really it’s just breaking the question into smaller, easier to digest ideas!
Your turn!
现在你可以尝试分解一个问题！使用下面的示例，尝试将其分解为部分，然后简化条款并将其重新放回可理解的问题。点点指向你的'写什么'部分，你已经准备好了！

打破创意写作问题
在理解问题方面，创意写作往往是一个主要的恐慌点，主要是因为你得到了创造性！
Still, many people get confused about exactly what creative questions may want from them. You pretty much use the exact same ‘breakdown method’ for creative questions as you do for analytical, so let’s check out an example!
Step 1: Highlight Key Words and Sections
Then go through and begin highlighting or outlining important terms. Make sure you also look for key ideas in any stimulus sentences, like those in the box.
现在我们准备开始解释！
Step 2: Outline Each Key Word or Section
因为这是一个创造性的问题，我们可以跳过定义，而是专注于关键的想法。
“个人”
您的创意作品应专注于开发性格和某人的意义。由于时间限制，最好将重点关注一个，最多两个字符。
“Place in a community”
这篇文章应该看看在角色的地方eir community, be it a community of friends, peers, co-workers, townspeople, society as a whole, etc. It should emphasise how the character does find or has found their place there.
“ONE of the sentences as the first sentence.”
这个非常重要！您的创意响应需要从其中一个句子开始，但它不仅仅是将它放在前面。确保句子创造了故事的基调，对叙述来说是值得重要的。
Sentence 1 – “solitude” and “lonely”
These two words immediately tell you that your creative piece should deal with ideas of solitude and loneliness.
您可以通过将一个字符迁移单独成为一个团体的一部分，或者通过发现独处并不意味着他们必须孤独。确保这些主题位于故事的中心。
Sentence 2 – “little world” and “reveal”
This sentence looks at the ideas of someone’s own personal world (people and places around them) and revelation/discovery.
你的故事可以专注于发现他们如何属于自己的社区，或者思考他们在周围的人/地方的思考是他们自己的“小世界”。
句子3 - “他们的”和“城镇的香水”
使用“他们的”意味着你可能必须在这个故事中包含一个以上的角色，而句子的其余部分则展示了周围环境的关注。
The language is also more descriptive, so your story should follow the ‘show not tell’ rule and look at people within a set environment.
第3步：根据您的轮廓重写问题
This question is asking you to develop a creative piece that focuses on one or two characters and how they found a place in some form of community. It also wants you to use one of the stimulus sentences as your opening, so make sure you use it in a significant way.
You only have to choose one of the three sentences to begin your creative piece with, but you have to choose wisely! The sentence will introduce the key theme/ideas you look at in your response, and potentially the style (descriptive for the last sentence).
那是什么意思？
After breaking down what the question is asking and the different sentences you can use, it’s time to answer it!
Choose one of the sentences and begin dot pointing what you need to include in your creative piece.
写什么
- 写下1-2个字符以及它们如何适应一个地方/小组/社会
- 写下发现/正在发现它们适合的地方
- 使用其中一个刺激句作为第一句
- Write about the character’s own personal world (places, experiences)
- 写下它是如何向他们透露的 - 通过事件，想法等。
These points are the key elements of the question and show you exactly what you’re being asked to do! This makes it way easier to write a kickass creative response.
Your Turn!
Now try your hand at breaking down a creative question! Using the example provided break down the question and the stimuli one by one. Then choose a stimulus and dot point your ‘What to write’ section!
“No one should be ashamed to admit they are wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that they are wiser today than they were yesterday.”
