Has anyone written any Chinese essays these holidays?

[Andiio]

If so, how many? (And what text types?)

[ytwacker]

I've done 3 so far...
Two were speeches and the other was a letter I'm pretty sure.
Not as much as I should be doing.

3 was the set standard.. which i am planning to do in the next 3 or 4 days ... recently, practising for DS and general convo.
Also, as a hint just focus on two writing style.. and practise them. It's a good idea to do a lot of reading and listening too, you don't want to lose any marks there. Finally, if you have time, translation as well.
GOOD LUCK
祝你们好运！

It is definitely a good idea two focus on two writing styles and become perfect at the two. This allows you to cover the essay really well while also not limiting yourself to too little essay options. Personally, I prefer persuasive and evaluative essays because there is more of a structure you can follow but of course it depends on whether you are an analytical writer or a creative writer.

Yes, especially for 评估文 I love how you can use the same 成语 over and over again.

eg. 众说纷纭
