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.
Hey Ash (I hope I'm right with your name there), I have my IGCSE English Directed Writing tomorrow. Thank you so much for helping everyone who need help in this field. This helped me a lot too, And I hope that I perform well tomorrow. I cannot thank you enough as you have helped me so so much in so many ways. God bless you, and I hope you never stop guiding students to a brighter path :)
We wrote an interview for the exam and i just wrote it like an essay . I didn't do the write format but i just answered and wrote answering the questions asked . How many marks do i lose
All your videos are immensely helpful. It would be great if you could make a video on how to write a response to an article (coursework). I wonder if you have already made one.
Is Directed Writing completely non-fictional? Isn't is partially fictional as the later part of writing is based on the writer's creativity and imagination. Looking forward to a response
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.
Hi there! Thank you so much for these very helpful videos! I'm currently in year 12, my IGCSE predicted grade for First Language English was unfortunately lower than I had expected so I am doing the exam next week in order to improve and get a higher grade! Could you give some tips on speech and article writing for paper 2?
What of our narrative is good which includes good plot and characterisation and good description of atmosphere but exceeds 150 words. If we are penalized then how much we can expect to lose marks?
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..
Once you've reworded, you should make suitable inferences. You need to think carefully about the vocabulary and tone used. My next video will explain the process.
Is this the extended response in Paper 1 or the directed writing in Paper 2? If it's the extended response, then why is it called the non-fiction writing? I'm confused. I thought non-fiction is the directed writing.
Yes, unless it's unsafe to do so. Even if they are cancelled at your centre, predicted grades will not be used. It was a mess last time. You'd have to take them next year.
@@IGCSESUCCESS if I get a decent grade from my English IGCSE this year, you will definitely be a major reason as to why I have. Thank you so much for making these videos, they are extremely helpful and easy to understand. Mtavo, how did you find the exam?
Not sure about deductions, but you would be expected to use a suitable greeting. Best to stick with Yours sincerely or Yours faithfully (for formal letters!)

Hows newspaper report different from formal report ?
I have my English o/l tomo I hope this would help
Hi Sir ,I am struggling to extract points on the directed writing questions. Do you have any ideas about any method that can help ?
First of all, love your videos. Second of all, if I pick 5 ideas for each bullet point, won't it get too wordy?
A range of ideas is fine. You're right, it's difficult to fit everything in. My students usually use 3-5
@@IGCSESUCCESS oh ok Thanks!
Sir would a magazine article be similar to a newspaper article,but a magazine article is more opinionated while the newspaper is more factual?
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.

You won't get penalised for going over.

Hey sir i have abig problem with english first language direct writings
Very Helpful!
Does the format matter when writting non-fiction.For example when writing a letter is it a must to write an address?
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..
@@IGCSESUCCESS thank you very much
hello sir, how do you develop points without going out of character?
Once you've reworded, you should make suitable inferences. You need to think carefully about the vocabulary and tone used. My next video will explain the process.
iGCSESuccess thank you so much!
When will the new video be up?
@@takudzwamunyawarara3692 in a few days for sure :)
Is this the extended response in Paper 1 or the directed writing in Paper 2? If it's the extended response, then why is it called the non-fiction writing? I'm confused. I thought non-fiction is the directed writing.
My exams are tomorrow and I am referring this now
Best of luck
This guy smiles ever 6 seconds 😭😭😭😭
Creepy, right? ;)
so a paragraph for each points. but how long is the paragraphs? like usually
I think around 110-120 for each would be a good amount.
@@IGCSESUCCESS thanks!
Is "words of interview" part of directed writing?😭
Will October series 2020 be conducted sir?
Yes, unless it's unsafe to do so. Even if they are cancelled at your centre, predicted grades will not be used. It was a mess last time. You'd have to take them next year.
i just wanted to correct you on the 25 marks the new curriculum is 40 marks now
