Hello I wanna say thank you so much I am going into year 11 in September, and am expected grade 8s and 9s, but my English teacher is an absolute nightmare and contradict himself every other lesson. Your videos have helped me so much and I greatly appreciate it!
@@ryancannon401 it’s been going phenomenally. Got a new English teacher who is a legend and I got a 9 in my last mock exams so I’m feeling so ready for tomorrow’s exam. How about you?(presuming you’re also in y11)
@@afteraltern it’s fine bro just don’t stress. I find question 5 the easiest one so get that one done first. Then I find it best to go Q1, Q2, Q3, then Q4, cause you can if the question allows use some of the ideas from Q3 in question 4 response, so it makes it a bit easier. But just give it your best shot and you’ll do great 👍😉
I am an adult learner. I've used your videos to prepare for my entry assessment for GCSE English which made it through! 🎉 I appreciate your work and I will continue to use it to get good grades. Many thanks.
Question 1 is 5 mins or less, you have to write down 4 pieces of implicit or explicit information based on what the question tells you what the information should be about.Some tips are to draw a line around the lines given from the question,you can use quotes,doesn’t have to be complicating just one peice of information at a time,do not make any assumptions or suggest anything because this is a sate question which will not reward any marks based on suggestions. Question 2:Before actually start question 2 you may wanna underline/highlight the end of the sentence which is what you have to talk about or explain why, underline/highlight COULD (could means that the first and second bullet point is a must and the third is a could) make sure you know at least some obvious english language techniques which are obvious including:Simile,metaphor,personification,onomatopoeia,alliteration,imagery,CONTRAST(this is most important),consonant,(forgot last one),you can use others too now after you highlight some key bits, make sure to have at least 2-3 paragraphs you have 10-12 mins so analyse a quote from the beginning,middle and end to show of your skill to the marker,use embedded quotes to gain more marks i personally use peezl so point,evidence,effect,zoom and link make sure for each paragraph you say how this makes the reader feel even though its not asked in the question,if you can do more paragraphs.Use analogy and other features to convey your message use subjective terminology throughout. Question 3:Question 3 is about (updating tomorrow) Question 4:Question 4 is about Question 5:Question 5 is about writing either a story or a descriptive peice of writing

@@planetloopyofficial structure is how it's written(short sentences, long sentences, basically the "physical" part of a sentence, whereas language is more about the words within the sentence and how they are used to create a certain effect on the reader
I have started to watch you videos rather than playing games because it's very useful and it's teaching me new language features that I didn't know before. So thank you very Much and may God bless you
i said in mine about how because there was only one person speaking that the dialogue was significant. because of this and ur vid on question 4 i managed to get 18/20 so thanks so much!
