    sir your an amazing teacher but i would prefer if you make different videos, properly titled, for all the different text types of directed writing, e.g discursive writing, with their format, tips etc, that would be a lot more easier to understand.
    thank you very much.
    love from pakistan.

    Sir would a magazine article be similar to a newspaper article,but a magazine article is more opinionated while the newspaper is more factual?

    • @IGCSESUCCESS
      @IGCSESUCCESS  4 роки тому +5

      Usually that's the case. Magazine article tasks set by Cambridge are usually persuasive in nature. Just make sure you identify the audience and purpose correctly. Reading the sentence starter they often give you will help you establish the tone.

    • @IGCSESUCCESS
      @IGCSESUCCESS  4 роки тому +1

      You wouldn't be expected to make an address up. I know some students like to draw a box in the top right corner and write (my address) to show an awareness of layout features, but you wouldn't lose marks..
