    @Mujiboy 10 місяців тому

    I wrote a story similar to this, containing SOME development ie: Going from the outside to the inside etc, and described in great detail. It was quickly regarded a narrative and I received a lower band, ofc by my teacher. You think Cambridge examiners disagree?

      Wow! thanks for telling me that last part. I must retain SOME movement ofc. If you are curious my story was about a new fighter jet. Describing the outside in great detail and then climbing in and the stairs squeaking under my weight etc. then a description of the inside and finally how it roared to life and the transition from green to blue. IE: ground to sky. @@IGCSESUCCESS

    hi, I am not really good at descriptive writing so I have decided that I will definitely select the narrative question in my caie , I made up my mind a long time ago so have been doing no practice for descriptive. I am more comfortable this way ( with narrative) but wanted to share this to see what you think, is it okay ?

      @@aryansista3904 to be honest, all of the powerful words and images are usually listed in the mark schemes (there's usually more than a handful!) so I'd advise you to choose the most powerful ones. However, I'm sure Cambridge will credit students if they say something pertinent about something else.
