Hello everyone. It seems that the mid-year examination is approaching and it is revision time. I am going to guide you in the answering technique for the novel section, The Railway Children.  I will show you how you can use the same character evidence and for different questions

You can find the sample answers in different labels in this blog: Characters, Lesson, Plot. I will update more sample answers in the near future.  Happy learning!
