First time writing GCSE English and I got grade 5, I was so surprised. It all happened because of you. Thank you Mr Everything English. You are the best!!!
What I would do is first identify what the statement says then strongly agree and find evidence from the source which shows whatever the statement says. Here it says that the situation is really dangerous so imagine that is ur point for a paragraph and find the evidence to back it up.
Thank you so much’ I’m speechless about how well you explain it make it look like a peace of cake to do’ before I saw your channel I was clueless about how to even touch the question but now I have so much clarity about what I need to do in exam and now I’m confident enough to say that I will go smash the exam in June. YOU ARE BETTER THAN MY COLLEGE TEACHER! THANK YOU SO Much
i have a question: do we get marked based on the quality of the point? or is a simple point such as "Zoe acts slow to realise that the situation was dangerous as though nature can do nothing to her" be enough. I found that your points are always highly developed and in class we are taught to keep it short and to the point, hence why I am wondering this.
Most of your marks are based on your reference, technique, explanation and zooms on quotes. The point is normally supposed to be short, as I've been told the same as you :)
it’s not really based on the quality of your point, it’s more based on the fact that your point your evidence and analysis link and match. so if the quote is “the jewellery shops were like fairy palaces”, your point might be the writer presents the jewellery shop as magical/beautiful/majestic. any one of those points is a very good point. don’t over complicate your point. you just need to be clear. also don’t repeat your point in your analysis.
I’d say you definitely need original and insightful points if you want to reach the highest marks, but you don’t get directly marked on the quality of your point so if you have a simple point with really good analysis and explanation, you can still get full marks!
yeah the point doesn't have to be lengthy, if you have a short and clear point, u still get the same amount of marks, its more about the content and how u explain
How's this for the Ugwu text? I strongly agree with the statement, the writer uses a variety of symbolism and metaphorical imagery in order to demonstrate how Ugwu shifts to a feeling of disappointment, juxtaposing his previous emotion of excitement. The writer uses a range of metaphorical imagery, in order to demonstrate how grand Ugwu’s excitement is, which ultimately foreshadows how it is impossible to live upto, as seen through the metaphor when he was “too choked with expectation”. The verb “choked” suggests when something is unable to breathe, potentially threatening their life. It could also refer to an object which is lodged within a person’s throat, causing their airways to become blocked. Compounding this with the noun “expectation” shows that his expectation is so large, it poses a threat not only to him, but to his excitement as it chokes it, eventually making it capitulate, and thus bringing an onset of disappointment. Furthermore, the fact that it metaphorically blocks his throat could show that his expectation prevents him from thinking realistically (as it is stuck within him), and thus, reality could never truly match his excitement - it is impossible to do so. This therefore shows that his disappointment later on was inevitable, as his expectation was blown out of proportion and although it may have brought short-term excitement, it can only ultimately lead to a disappointing result. Aswell as this, the writer also employs natural imagery to represent the excitement Ugwu feels at the potential unlimited freedom, through the metaphor “bungalows here were painted the colour of the sky”. The noun “sky” could refer to the atmosphere of the Earth, which seems seemingly endless but infact does have an endpoint after further inspection. It could also be referring to an object which reflects the light hitting it, taking on the colour of the object below it. Extrapolating this to the bungalows shows that upon first glance, the bungalows may seem to contain absolute freedom, but in fact it is just an illusion and there is an extent to the freedom they offer. Moreover, they are just reflections of the world around them, providing no more freedom, and thus excitement, than the area Ugwu is attempting to escape from - the presentation is just in a different form. Furthering this, bungalows - unlike regular houses - only have 1 floor, showing the constraints the new job actually provides, and how the freedom is just in fact a mirage, which is unable to satiate Ugwu’s excitement when further looked upon, leading to once again an inevitable disappointment. Furthermore, the writer uses symbolism to represent the culmination of Ugwu’s disappointment, as he “stood by the door, waiting”. The symbol and noun “door” could be seen to represent an exit, in order to leave an area. It could also be seen as metaphorically being an opportunity, waiting to be taken. The fact that Ugwu is standing by the door, “waiting”, shows that he may wish to leave, due to the overwhelming disappointment of his expectations being let down. Furthermore, he is not only wishing to leave, but he is wishing to search for new opportunities, showing that he still wants to satiate his exorbitant excitement - and avoid disappointment - and sees this opportunity as now a dead-end, showing that his pure excitement has burnt out, and has been replaced by a feeling of disappointment, almost loss. The writer uses a variety of imagery and symbolic objects in order to portray Ugwu’s progression of emotions as originally being gleeful and full of excitement, then later juxtaposed as being disappointed due to his expectations being failed - this was inevitable as his expectations were so large, reality could not hold true to it. Appreciate if anyone could rate it, thanks!
Just do 3 paragraphs. Just to make it quicker do OPETE overview point evidence technique explain (twice). If u go into the exam knowing exactly what quote ur looking for nd how to write it it’ll come quicker to ur head nd won’t waste time thinking of what to right. Hope that was some how helpful x
@@charis5513 idk I’ll just try my best as when I watched his video the time he takes to write the paragraph and that length and finding quotes seems to take along time
@@charis5513 sry for the late response I’ve always been awful at English and last exam I got 31/80 which isn’t good at all and My target grade is like a 4 or 5 I think and till yesterday I didn’t memorise language techniques like oxymoron juxtaposition, pathetic fallacy and all that and I revised that whole day watching this mans videos and I felt like I did really well. I did the exact amount of paragraphs as he said. I feel like I got a 6 at least but I wasted a lot of time on q2 and q3 as I couldn’t find language I found sibalance but I didn’t know if it had to be 3 or more words and now I realised it doesn’t but, at least I tried my best.thx for asking btw :)
i normally partially agree and then introduce evaluation and that normally gets me higher marks. would you say i should still change it to strongly agree?
I do the same because sometimes half of the statement can be contradicted to a degree, in my opinion. And if your getting high marks on it, I say stick with it. Mocks was the time to see what works for you and staying with it rather risking it now for your GCSE’s. But at the end of the day is up to you. Hope you pass GCSE’s! :)
you should usually strongly agree, i like to build onto my agreement so i can use statements like “My agreement strengthens when…” or “I agree strongest at this point because…"
Brother I have test tomorrow about a book called “boys don’t cry” apparently it’s GCSE and idk what to with that she said it’s gonna be a question on the book but normally I watch your vids for help but you don’t have this
My teacher says we should agree and disagree, make a balanced statement. Should I do that as that is how she should think the question is marked or strongly agree or disagree?
For each paragraph should it have a different point (same point in terms of the question but different sub points)? or should it all just be apart of one point and each paragraph after the first should start of like 'Another example of this....'.? Also reading from other comments, should the last paragraph be a small conclusion or another PRTEZEL? whats the need for a conclusion when were linking in every PRTEZE(L)
I want to know if in question 4 there is different and irrelevant ending,what to do? How to end ? Or leave the irrelevant part of the text ?kindly reply I am waiting for the response?
Sorry But why do you always only write one paragraph? Are we really supposed to write3 of these i feel like i wont have timee, id just spend 20 mins on one paragraph
@@user-cn9pj3iw3s well this is what I did after reader response. I wrote 'Thus justifying the statement and then Id like quote the statement kind of And elucidate why my argument shows that the statement is correct.
You are great! but don't take me wrong, you took between your planning of 1 paragraph and writing the paragraph almost 9 minutes and we suppose to use 5 min each with the planning which I see it impossible. My point is that English is not my first language I'm traying to pass this GCSE test in order to be able to study in London. But the time it goes against me all the time. What is the advice? Thank you!!
Yes, but tbh, having three paragraphs already means having at least three quotes. But I do suggest including 2 quotes in each paragraph for each point to get marks for layers of meaning.
i forgot to comment again lol. i loved the extract so section A went great. i planned my answer to q5 ages ago so all i had to do was adapt my description to the steer. overall i think i got 65/80. if paper 2 goes as well this one did then i might be able to get an 8 :) literature paper 1 tomorrowww
I have to say I just did my paper 1 mocks and section a was one of most boring texts it was about scorpion and had very little obvious structural devices and very few language devices. I feel bad for you guys that did gcses last year.
Just a question: I've heard some people say you can reuse quotes from the previous question(s) for Q.4 as each question is marked by a different examiner (?). Is this true? As in, can I copy the same paragraph I have already written or tweak it a little?
When I use prtezel, I can never figure out what to write for the 3rd paragraph bc I run out of things to write. So are 4 simple peel paragraphs enough?
embed the quotation when you’re writing. for example: the writer decribes max to be ’as cold as ice’ which highlights blah blah. but if you are referring to structure like a short sentence, you can put in the lines yes.
don't worry just revise a lot more and find revision techniques that work best for you, you don't have a lot of time left if ur gcse's r next week but u can certainly do a lot in these 4 days that can impact ur grade. i rlly recommend these vids. and just do past papers and get your teachers to mark them... best of luck
Mr English just a ? Would you agree some people no matter how much they study they might move up a little but if u don’t have the brain capacity u just dnt have it. Desperately wanting to learn, some people just don’t reach the mark. Not saying give up keep trying but it is the sad reality some ppl have the intellect with a cold heart and some have the softness of the heart but are less intelligent.
@@user-sc9sh1qw2p intelligence gives people a headstart and it makes them far quicker at doing things. however most things in life can easily be achieved with hard work, sure some things cant be achieved without talent or are stupidly hard to do so but thats life and we should fight hard against it to achieve our dreams
@@nabilshah9184 Here's the idea I had in mind shah, yeah sure intelligence does give you a head start but it can only put you at a certain limitation because of specific variables. In this case the exams content thoroughly is the only limitation, as nothing extra or less is going ot be provided for another individual and the variable is your effort, which is controlled. Essentially everyone does the same exam, everyone gets taught in the same way somewhat and everyone gets the same school resources regardless. What makes you distinct from the person sitting next to you in that exam hall is who put the most effort in, who strived to look for further resources and who actually cares about their exams. Everyone has the same capability, when it comes to a certain amount of content in the same exam for the same students in the same classroom.

How's this for the Ugwu text?
I strongly agree with the statement, the writer uses a variety of symbolism and metaphorical imagery in order to demonstrate how Ugwu shifts to a feeling of disappointment, juxtaposing his previous emotion of excitement.
The writer uses a range of metaphorical imagery, in order to demonstrate how grand Ugwu’s excitement is, which ultimately foreshadows how it is impossible to live upto, as seen through the metaphor when he was “too choked with expectation”. The verb “choked” suggests when something is unable to breathe, potentially threatening their life. It could also refer to an object which is lodged within a person’s throat, causing their airways to become blocked. Compounding this with the noun “expectation” shows that his expectation is so large, it poses a threat not only to him, but to his excitement as it chokes it, eventually making it capitulate, and thus bringing an onset of disappointment. Furthermore, the fact that it metaphorically blocks his throat could show that his expectation prevents him from thinking realistically (as it is stuck within him), and thus, reality could never truly match his excitement - it is impossible to do so. This therefore shows that his disappointment later on was inevitable, as his expectation was blown out of proportion and although it may have brought short-term excitement, it can only ultimately lead to a disappointing result.

The noun “sky” could refer to the atmosphere of the Earth, which seems seemingly endless but infact does have an endpoint after further inspection.

Moreover, they are just reflections of the world around them, providing no more freedom, and thus excitement, than the area Ugwu is attempting to escape from - the presentation is just in a different form. Furthering this, bungalows - unlike regular houses - only have 1 floor, showing the constraints the new job actually provides, and how the freedom is just in fact a mirage, which is unable to satiate Ugwu’s excitement when further looked upon, leading to once again an inevitable disappointment.
Furthermore, the writer uses symbolism to represent the culmination of Ugwu’s disappointment, as he “stood by the door, waiting”. The symbol and noun “door” could be seen to represent an exit, in order to leave an area. It could also be seen as metaphorically being an opportunity, waiting to be taken. The fact that Ugwu is standing by the door, “waiting”, shows that he may wish to leave, due to the overwhelming disappointment of his expectations being let down. Furthermore, he is not only wishing to leave, but he is wishing to search for new opportunities, showing that he still wants to satiate his exorbitant excitement - and avoid disappointment - and sees this opportunity as now a dead-end, showing that his pure excitement has burnt out, and has been replaced by a feeling of disappointment, almost loss.
The writer uses a variety of imagery and symbolic objects in order to portray Ugwu’s progression of emotions as originally being gleeful and full of excitement, then later juxtaposed as being disappointed due to his expectations being failed - this was inevitable as his expectations were so large, reality could not hold true to it.

@@simran4687 what did u get for ur language
In 7:10 doesn’t the juxtaposition have to be in the same sentence, or can it be in different sentences. Can you pls help me out with this
can be in different setences yeh
Juxtaposition can be two similar ideas together, hence it can be in different sentences. An oxymoron however, has to be two words next to e/o.
TYSM guys :)
Brother I have test tomorrow about a book called “boys don’t cry” apparently it’s GCSE and idk what to with that she said it’s gonna be a question on the book but normally I watch your vids for help but you don’t have this
My teacher says we should agree and disagree, make a balanced statement. Should I do that as that is how she should think the question is marked or strongly agree or disagree?
For AQA u just choose one viewpoint
For each paragraph should it have a different point (same point in terms of the question but different sub points)? or should it all just be apart of one point and each paragraph after the first should start of like 'Another example of this....'.?
Also reading from other comments, should the last paragraph be a small conclusion or another PRTEZEL?
whats the need for a conclusion when were linking in every PRTEZE(L)
Ok so we can use the same quotes as from other questions but can we copy the paragraph from another question answer u wrote for this question
I think so just make sure it applies to the statement
Could you do for lit paper 1 aswell 😁
He probably will but after doing the paper 1 question 5 language video because lit paper 1 is the week after
@@VypaGaming yh true!! Might aswell focus on this exam first
I want to know if in question 4 there is different and irrelevant ending,what to do? How to end ? Or leave the irrelevant part of the text ?kindly reply I am waiting for the response?
I love you sir Tamora is my exam for GCSE you helped me a lot and just love u sir you are so helpful. Peace
how important is to embed quotes in your opinion
Very
you have saved my life thanks bro
Sorry But why do you always only write one paragraph? Are we really supposed to write3 of these i feel like i wont have timee, id just spend 20 mins on one paragraph
can you do an intro and conclusion or is that not necessary ?
You can but it’s a waste of time

@@rajjgaming5919 Thank you!
You are great! but don't take me wrong, you took between your planning of 1 paragraph and writing the paragraph almost 9 minutes and we suppose to use 5 min each with the planning which I see it impossible. My point is that English is not my first language I'm traying to pass this GCSE test in order to be able to study in London. But the time it goes against me all the time. What is the advice? Thank you!!
you cant do my las zoe like that. "do i really care about zoe that much not really":(
right? Zoe literally bout to get blown over by an avalanche and this man’s like “don’t care didn’t ask”
Thank you Sir Amen ❤❤❤
I thank you so much 😫 saved my English for real
how have you done in the exam?
Yes and I got an 8 in language
After being stuck on 5 and 6 with consistent practice
could you go through another english language 1 paper? also how can i get my test marked
Can we talk about structure in this question or just language devices?
You can talk about both language and structure for this one
Carrying my 2022 GCSE grades fr
@mreverythingenglish ive heard we need to talk about both perspectives of agree and disagree... is this true?
Yes
no
i thought we are meant to have a range of quotations to grab the higher marks
What does e z l means
Yes, but tbh, having three paragraphs already means having at least three quotes. But I do suggest including 2 quotes in each paragraph for each point to get marks for layers of meaning.
you would mention those in the other 2 paragraphs
@epixeditz thanks mate i am very nervous for my exam becoz it's my first time
IN Q4 can u use the whole part of the designated source as your reference, e.g from lines 18 to the end?
yes bro
Hi, I saw somewhere else that for q4 you have to present the other side of the story because the question says ‘evaluate’
Id do 2 paragraphs agree and 1 against but use the same layout of your paragraph
That's not true
Thank you so much for the example 😁

I have to say I just did my paper 1 mocks and section a was one of most boring texts it was about scorpion and had very little obvious structural devices and very few language devices.
I feel bad for you guys that did gcses last year.
I watched this a night before mocks and now the morning of GCSEs hopefully I can pass again
How'd it go
Watching this an hour before 😭😭
Just a question: I've heard some people say you can reuse quotes from the previous question(s) for Q.4 as each question is marked by a different examiner (?). Is this true? As in, can I copy the same paragraph I have already written or tweak it a little?
YES U CAN.
my guy just roasted the poop out of zoe
hahaha
What about readers response
When you don’t know how to embed the quote in your answer can you do put : instead?
LIKE IF ITS LESS THAN A DAY FOR OUE EXAM !!
Hi, sir, The answer you have written is it a 20/20 answer?
no, you’d need 3-4 paragraphs which stick to PRETZEL for it to be 20/20 or close to to it
When I use prtezel, I can never figure out what to write for the 3rd paragraph bc I run out of things to write. So are 4 simple peel paragraphs enough?
He always says to write 2 paragraphs. Each one with a complete PRTEZEL technique
do u need an introduction for this?? all my teachers say that u should have an introduction
i get told that aswell!
@@mrquickogaming my teacher’s always said no
Absolute bull.
Can u do for igcse English A aswell please 🙏🙏🙏
He focuses on AQA so I doubt he would do that.
@@youtubeiscoolig6519 🥲
I love your videos you have helped me so much but in question 4 you didn't talk about structure
so you dont need to embed the quote and analyse it?
It is safer to use quotation. Use it as evidence after you put the language device or structural features
ily jaani
In the exam are you allowed to write lines 2-4 or do you have to write out the quote?
embed the quotation when you’re writing.
for example:
the writer decribes max to be ’as cold as ice’ which highlights blah blah.
but if you are referring to structure like a short sentence, you can put in the lines yes.
Watching this the day before my mock exam
Sir do u have to answer both of the statements ???
yes you do

Mr English just a ? Would you agree some people no matter how much they study they might move up a little but if u don’t have the brain capacity u just dnt have it. Desperately wanting to learn, some people just don’t reach the mark. Not saying give up keep trying but it is the sad reality some ppl have the intellect with a cold heart and some have the softness of the heart but are less intelligent.
no everyone have the somewhat same capability, i just feel like it's the way you study that will be the real gamechanger
@@user-sc9sh1qw2p Yh I agree. The way you study despite how good you are will determine how well you do
@@user-sc9sh1qw2p intelligence gives people a headstart and it makes them far quicker at doing things. however most things in life can easily be achieved with hard work, sure some things cant be achieved without talent or are stupidly hard to do so but thats life and we should fight hard against it to achieve our dreams
@@nabilshah9184 Here's the idea I had in mind shah, yeah sure intelligence does give you a head start but it can only put you at a certain limitation because of specific variables. In this case the exams content thoroughly is the only limitation, as nothing extra or less is going ot be provided for another individual and the variable is your effort, which is controlled. Essentially everyone does the same exam, everyone gets taught in the same way somewhat and everyone gets the same school resources regardless. What makes you distinct from the person sitting next to you in that exam hall is who put the most effort in, who strived to look for further resources and who actually cares about their exams.
Everyone has the same capability, when it comes to a certain amount of content in the same exam for the same students in the same classroom.
Can u still get full marks without quotes?
i dont think so, as it says ‘support your response with references from the text’ so i think it does matter and you could get capped at lvl 1-2
