I know this is a bit late but i just want to thank you for all the help in English literature especially how you respond to comments and make sure to help your students thank you for your hard work and dedication to help us get the top grades!!
thank you mr salles genuinely your top tips/ things to avoid helped me to get grade 9s in both my language mocks.terrified for tomorrow and praying aqa is nice to us 🙏🙏
@@calmingnature-whitenoise6945 im merely thanking him for helping me get those grades. there’s no need to be so snarky - how we will perform tomorrow is completely unpredictable because of the stress so there’s no definite chance i will achieve those same grades. get down from your high horse there’s no need to be pessimistic. im sorry if you don’t like it, i can’t change that ig
@@calmingnature-whitenoise6945 people can still be nervous... just because you’ve got a 9 before doesn’t necessarily mean you will in the real thing, get a grip
Could you write a story of someone finding the photo on the ground or something like that? So you could describe how it's crumpled and faded but then go and describe the image itself.
Random tip for people that works for me: Q1 first, easy marks, familiarise with extract. Q2/3 you have ideas about the extract, start one of the short questions to get some more marks in the bag and get ur ideas flowing (almost like a warmup). I then move to Q5, the big marks, have a break from extract and start the other part of ur english brain going. Remembering to plan and only spent like 40/45 mins on it. Recap the extract and tackle the evil Q4, now youve warmed up get the rest of the big marks in. With the time you have left you only have a short 8 marker left so its not the end of the world if u dont finish it. So thats what works for me. 13542.
Love this! Wanted to say that you’ve helped me so much especially for literature!! I have my language exam next week and I was wondering could I send you an essay to mark for a video? Thanks again!:)
Hi sir, you released a book on description wherein you wrote a grade 9 bad weather description and a grade 9 good weather description , in which you simply took out words and replaced them based on the picture. Des that still apply to the paper now(a i allowed to do this), or will it be counted as plagiarism?
hi mr salles, i wrote a piece of creative writing based on a photo i found on the internet of some flowers in a field, and i was wondering if you could give me a rough mark/grade based on it :) The facade of liveliness sickens me everyday. The tulips do not belong in this dreary field. They stand out, fluorescent orange in the sun's haze. Crowding miserably around them stands dilapidated shards of grass, crumpled and squashed: diamonds devalued once met with human touch. Against my bare legs, the sharp edges cause an insufferable itchiness, like a clothing tag begging to be ripped off. They encase the dainty flowers like a glass closet - I scoff at their pathetic attempt at shielding. Whistling carelessly below me, the helpless screams of the infant petals are drowned out by the howling of the wind; yet another victim to the brutal reality of death. Commemoration seems only appropriate - I allow the soft, silky petals to caress my skin: their pureness likens them to a deceased child, taken from the world before they have had time to blossom. As I peeled my eyes from them, I noticed the beauty of the setting. The whole area is heavenly, suffused with the smell of liveliness. For a moment in time, my mind slips of the dreaded darkness in the distance: trees cowering; wildlife erased; clouds bustling, threatening with a tantrum, like a toddler gifted with an unpleasant Christmas present. Fear and dreadfulness fumigates my nose. The gloomy grey sky peers down at me - it's massiveness engulfs any worth I have. I am a mere speck in an ever expanding universe of terror. Wistfulness is all I can feel, as the clouds cry out hysterically - yearning for the comfort of the ambient temperature of my abode - the bawling is uncontainable. those sanctuary appear so close, it could not be further from me. The tulips mock me as I scurry through the knives surrounding them - I envy their ability to adapt. Their once comforting orange pigment begins to insult my current discomfort. An impending doom awaits me. (308 words) im aware that it's quite short, i am working on making it longer :)
Some lovely description. Get rid of the first sentence and references to death. It works much better as a story of successful struggle rather than doom
say u have a sunny bright description picture can you start of with a positive description can you slowly descend into a frightening / scary description
Could a diary entry question come up on English Language Paper 2 as Question 5? I haven't really prepared for it. P.S. Love your videos. Keep up the amazing work👍
HI MR SALLES! I was thinking about signing up to your substack/website. I was wondering how quickly you would mark English language questions I send on the page for the exam tomorrow
Please could you mark this AQA English Language Paper Q5 The old grandfather had seen better days. Judging by his weak and frail face. Old and wrinkled as if a piece of paper has been scrunched up and opened up again. He has lived a very merry and a jolly childhood until the age of 80. His days of running, playing with a football for hours on end, blasting water guns on soft faces and soaking clothes and people like a shower has come to an end. The days of the grandfather fondling, playing football and playing video games with the grandchildren have come to a complete stop. All there is now, is a spirit, slowly oozing out of this man’s face day by day. Deteriorating day by day until his final place of rest is his coffin and the graveyard. Hang on a second, the Grandfather hasn’t fully passed yet, his white and old frail eyes still have more things to see. The grandchildren still love their Grandfather with all of their heart! His old and frail fingers still work tirelessly when his fingers dance around on a controller with the grand children. He may not be smiling due to his immense old age but he still has some life left in his darkened, glowing face. He may use a wheelchair, but he still gets to take the grandchildren to the park and make them laugh and happy. Though now his face is starting to become all frail, old and wrinkly. He still has more life yet despite him being closer and closer to his grave. Depression and harsh memories from WWII has hit him harder than a canon. Along side the PTSD. The old Grandfather had seen better days after wartime, dark and pleasant moments. He had a jolly childhood until war. It may have took him many years to recover, but now he is getting closer to his grave. The wrinkles and the illness on his face says it all.
@@kashmainmohammad2832 ye coz if they realise two students did the exact same story it's obviously taken from the internet and theyll find out, just copy some sentences if u like them not the entire thing
Mr sallee, for Paper 1 Question 4, in one of ur previous vids u said that u think its best to give a balanced argument as it gives u the top marks, but i see a 20/20 answer online which i have realised that this student never gave the other side of the argument instead they wrote “i agree with this statement” , so this brings me to a question that is it necessary to give the other side of the argument such, please answer me and thanks
absolutely heartbroken he doesn't like taylor swift 💔

Teacher is usually mark the mocks harshly, in the mistaken belief that you’ll stop trying, if they give you two higher mark! You’ll do brilliantly
i despise when people say things like that. if you have gotten 9s then stop acting like that

If your picture is like in a mall but you have got a weather setting memorised how to adapt that into the picture?
Hi sir, you released a book on description wherein you wrote a grade 9 bad weather description and a grade 9 good weather description , in which you simply took out words and replaced them based on the picture. Des that still apply to the paper now(a i allowed to do this), or will it be counted as plagiarism?

grade 6 probs
say u have a sunny bright description picture can you start of with a positive description can you slowly descend into a frightening / scary description
Mr salles we love you thank you so much
can you write the story or description in first person or is it best to speak in third?
also thank you for all your help with English literature
Whichever person you like
how much do we need to mention the picture? can it just be 1 out of say 4 paragraphs?
is the picture just a description or can you write a story around it?
Could a diary entry question come up on English Language Paper 2 as Question 5? I haven't really prepared for it. P.S. Love your videos. Keep up the amazing work👍
I don't think that could be persuasive writing because it's not for anyone else.
Thank you mr salles for saving my english grades
Do you get marked down for not writing enough ?
so useful sir. Thank you so much!
Amazing THANK YOU!!
You said that try and start each sentence with a different word but would it be fine if you repeat it for repitition/anaphora
Yes
Are we guaranteed to get a photo in the exam? Whether it be a story or a description?
No it’s not guaranteed. However, if there is a picture, it’s most likely to be description but no guarantees again
Yes, 99%. If not, you can use one in your mind, which would be even better
can you make a video abut descriptions for charactors or themes
Is is possible if you could do a video on the Eduqas specification please?
HI MR SALLES! I was thinking about signing up to your substack/website. I was wondering how quickly you would mark English language questions I send on the page for the exam tomorrow
