Whom is this site for?
Are you studying Cambridge's A Level course with General Paper as one of your subjects? Do you want to boost up your vocabulary? Or do you want to improve your English Language? If your answer to any of these questions is yes then this site is for you!
What is General Paper?
General Paper is an AS level multi-disciplinary subject, which can be studied in A Levels of Cambridge University. There are some variations of this paper which are given below:
Majority of the students attend the International syllabus: either General Paper 8004 or General Paper 8001. Paper 8004 requires you to write two essays, each from a different section whereas, Paper 8001 requires you to write one essay and solve a comprehension passage among the given alternatives.
General Paper 8009 is the Mauritian version and General Paper 8806 is the syllabus exclusive to Singapore, both of which are much similar to General Paper 8001. Both are localized to meet the specific needs of the students there and perhaps to adjust the time-zone difference.
Materials available in this site
The main aim of this site is to provide help, support and resources to the General Paper students so as to make them able to write good academic essays as required by the curriculum of General Paper. To meet this purpose the following resources are available in this site:

The sample GP essays are available in two categories. Sample A graded Essays consist of 5 essays which scored A in the Cambridge examinations. These were provided to me by my GP instructor while I was doing A levels.
My Essays consists of the essays exclusively written by me. The total number of essays in this category has already crossed 24, and I’ll be adding more essays in the days to come.
2. Comprehension Passage Solutions
Just like the sample essays, the articles in this category are the sample solution of the comprehension questions of Paper 2 of 8001 syllabus. The questions of Mauritian and Singaporean Paper 2 are not much different. Therefore, this section will also be useful to the students of both countries.
