 Let's move on to question number two of the English language paper one exam This question is important and you kind of need to spend a little bit of time considering what your responses are And then of course writing it out So I would suggest for question number two allocate around ten minutes for this question before you move on Let's answer question number two again Remember that we have already read this question and as I've mentioned this question The great thing about it is you actually have the evidence right there in front of you Don't have to worry about looking at the insert you can do that for the other questions However, we don't really need to go back over this insert unless you wish to all right So what I'm going to do and what I would do if I'm in exact conditions I probably just would focus in on highlighting just elements for this Rather from this extract to answer this question, okay So remember you told to look in this in detail at this extract just beneath here How to use language here to describe the Tyrannosaurus rags I've now read the insert and now know why it's so important for me to focus on language features That describe this to you rags, okay? It's like a really terrifying opponent against these men And you're asked to include the writers choice of words and phrases language features and techniques as well as sentence forms So remember for this question you want to spend a maximum of ten minutes. I'll suggest writing two So this is a minimum of two pill paragraph remember pill paragraphs are point Evidence explanation link all right. So the point is you're answering the question directly your evidence You're embedding your quotations from here your explanation This is where you talk about language technique also within the evidence You can include word level analysis after you talk about language technique and of course in your link back to the question You want to talk about the effect in the reader what image in this case of the Tyrannosaurus rags? How does this vividly impact us? Okay? How is it described how we made to fill remember the extracts? My interpretation of the t-rex as it's shown in the extract is that it's this really menacing creature Which will kill inevitably kill these men, all right? So when you're picking out the relevant information from here I would say so I would suggest picking out one quotation just from the top and then something from the end Okay, don't pick out both of your pieces of evidence just from the top, all right So I would probably just quickly reread this and skim read it and probably highlight as I'm going along Okay, so it came on great old resilient striding legs. This is interesting. All right So these are interesting adjectives towered above half of the trees. It was a great evil God, okay? So here it's also and I'd highlighted the same thing in the insert. Okay, so it's this evil God and Folding is delicate watchmakers claws closest oily reptilian chest It's each lower leg was a piston a thousand pounds of white bone Sunk and thick ropes of muscle sheathed over a gleam of pebble skin like armor of a terrible warrior So this is really really powerful vivid imagery now here I probably would stop reading the rest of this because I've picked out lots of stuff already And I can't even use all of this. Okay, so I'm probably going to skip to the final last two sentences Or even just the final sentence it closes mouth and the death grin So here we've got a smile, which is really menacing. It's rent its pelvic bones Crushing aside trees and bushes its talent feet clawing the damp earth leaving prints sinks inches deep Okay, so here it's so heavy as it steps It kind of leaves these deep footprints wherever it's settled its weight, okay? So here I probably would also highlight probably that a crushed Trees all right then crushed trees as if it was nothing, right? So as you can see I've highlighted lots of stuff, but really to be honest, I'm only writing two pill paragraphs I'm probably gonna just focus in on These adjectives great old resilient striding legs the evil God element Maybe if I'm inspired perhaps this idea of it skin like armor, okay? Again, I'm probably not going to use all of this But I'm really now focusing in and of course this death grin its smile, which is really really menacing and it's crushing these trees All right, so I've picked out the relevant evidence here As I mentioned you want to spend a maximum of ten minutes two pill paragraph at least of course if you can do more than Two pill paragraphs in that ten minutes even better However, if you can write two really really good detailed pill paragraph within the space of ten minutes Meaning you've got five minutes of pill paragraph number one five minutes of pill paragraph number two then move on Okay, and let's make sure you always really disciplined with your timekeeping, okay? So it's always good to make sure you have a watch, okay? So I'm gonna begin with the first pill paragraph using this information in terms of how the writer uses language to describe the T-rex and of course remember I'm talking about words but also at this bullet point talks about sentence forms So this could be for instance things like you know the use of this declarative sentence declarative sentences sentence that states A fact feeling a mood is there an imperative sentence like the way echoes was being told get out sit down blah blah blah There's nothing like that all of that stuff that can also be included in sentence forms, okay? So now I've selected this information I'm gonna write the first pill paragraph and then afterwards I will explain and walk you through how I put it together So let's go over The first pill paragraph point evidence explanation link, okay? So what I decided to do is of course as I mentioned I use this initial bit of evidence, okay for my first pill paragraph I'm gonna begin by reading it through and then I'll break it down How you know how you can put it together and what you should consider when writing this down, okay? Firstly the right effectively uses language to portray the tyrannosaurus rex brackets t-rex as powerful vast and imposing Its appearance is Petrifying as it stood on speech marks great old resilient striding legs close speech marks and it seemed to be Speech marks a great evil God close speech marks The author's use of the metaphor speech marks evil God close speech marks Convays how fearsome the t-rex is This metaphor is ironic as we usually think of gods as benevolent yet this creature is devilish and terrifying The adjective resilient Gives us the impression that it is unstoppable Casting doubts in our minds whether the men can kill it Therefore the author vividly shows just how powerful and unstoppable this creature is, okay? So that's my pill paragraph. So let's go through how I started off with my point now one thing you'll notice is I Usually don't encourage the use of brackets, okay within writing However, given that this creature and the name of this main creature is so long tyrannosaurus rex your examiners Won't expect you to keep on writing tyrannosaurus rex, okay? You're in a rush, right? So what you should do is for anything in your exams, which is a fairly long sentence or a long word Write out the long word initially. So I first write it out as you can see here tyrannosaurus rex However, what you can do you put in brackets a brief shortened version Again, I've used like a well-known shortened version. Okay, so for example, if you're given something about the European Union Let's say that as another example Everyone knows we refer to the European Union as a EU you can then put first out European Union brackets EU And then you can put EU, okay? So use obviously a well-known Substitute for the longer word, okay? However, that's the only one of the very few instances and the rare instances You can use brackets usually I will suggest stay away from them in your essay writing. That's a really long kind of caveat a kind of you know, by the way, however, let's go back to the the pill paragraph, okay? So I started off with my point Firstly the writer effectively uses language to portray the tyrannosaurus rex as powerful vast and imposing as you can see in my Opening point. I have used the key words language describe Tyrannosaurus rex in my opening point. I am indicating to my examiner. Hey, I know what I'm being asked to do So I mean, you know, I'm using the same words that you've asked me to focus in on. Okay, and this is not obvious You need to try and do this in your answer. Okay, so that's my point. Let's look at my evidence Its appearance is petrifying which means scary. Okay use ambitious language Its appearance is petrifying as it stood on great oil resilience riding legs and it seems to be a great evil God Here I've embedded my creations. The first quotation which I used great oiled Resilience riding legs here and I've also used the evil God I decided not to use it like the armor. Okay, as I mentioned, I highlighted all of this stuff But I have to use it. You can use even just great oil strident resilient legs Okay Now as I mentioned, I've embedded my phrases Meaning if I were to remove the speech marks in front of great old resilience striding legs and also the speech Marks around great evil God The sentence will still make sense. Okay, try to use your evidence in this way try to embed your evidence Of course, if you can't you can just say the passage states colon and then that okay But try to get used to embedding your phrases. All right, so you've got your point. You've got your evidence here. Okay Now let's look at my explanation as I mentioned my explanation I'm going to mention technique and also within the explanation. This is where you can mention word-level analysis. Okay The author's use of the metaphor evil God so again of Highlighted what metaphor this is I'm talking about Convays how fierce and the T-rex is this metaphor is ironic as we usually think of gods and again here I've put in speech marks a god. Okay as benevolent, which means loving yet This creature is devilish right because of course if it's an evil God, that's what we think of as devils, right? So the author is using this in an ironic way So the the creature is devilish and terrifying the adjective resilience now here I've done some word-level analysis, okay So the adjective resilient and I've put that in speech marks again Gives us the impression that it is unstoppable Casting doubts in our minds whether the men can kill it. All right, so that is my explanation This is now the analytical depth that I'm going into Okay, this is where the bulk of your marks are the explanation when you're talking about technique and you're talking about the Writers use of words and phrases. All right, so I've talked about metaphor and I've also mentioned and pointed out You know the adjective and why this is important now Let's look back at my link back to the question therefore the author vividly shows just how powerful and unstoppable the creature is Okay, so I've linked it back to the idea of this tyrannosaurus rakes being powerful and how language is being used to describe the T-rex All right, so that's my first pill point and as I mentioned because this is worth eight marks This is I would suggest this is probably worth four marks You still need to write your second pill paragraph to guarantee yourself the four eight marks. Okay, so what I'm going to do is I'm not going to use the second bit of evidence that I've highlighted here and use that for my second pill paragraph So I'm going to write out my second pill paragraph and then explain it and walk it through walk you through it afterwards. All right So let's look at my second pill paragraph. I'm going to read it and then break down for you how I put it together Secondly the writer describes just how menacing and threatening the T-rex is through their language As it approached the men it had a death grin and as it walked It was easily crushing trees and bushes as if there were mere toys in its way The writer's use of hyperbole to describe the T-Rex's speech marks death green close speech marks in this declarative sentence conveys How fighting the T-Rex looks the verb crushing speech marks reveals its awesome force We as readers feel terrified as we wonder whether this creature will kill the men Hence the writer vividly uses language to convey how odd and truly terrifying the T-Rex's appearance is okay So let's first begin with my second point and as you can see here What I did if we look back at the brief extract that was presented are used death grin towards the end here as well crushing, okay And also really are related it to the trees and bushes. Okay, so let's go over how I put together my point Secondly the writer describes just how menacing and threatening the T-Rex is through their language Okay, so this is my point. I've talked about how the T-Rex is menacing and threatening That's the point and again I've used keywords from the question to begin my point to make it clear to the examiner. Hey, I'm answering the question Okay, let's look at the evidence As it approached the men it had a speech marks death grin close speech marks as the first embedded piece of evidence And as it walked it was easily Open speech marks crushing trees and bushes close speech marks as if there were mere toys in its way So that's my evidence and again as you can see here. I have related it directly back to Death grin and crushing aside trees and bushes. Okay now So actually I would probably now going back and this is probably why it's really good to read over your answer I'd skipped crushing aside. So I'm going to put ellipsis here, right? So that's the evidence now Let's look at the explanation The writers of hyperbole, which means over exaggeration To describe the T-Rex's death grin in this declarative sentence conveys how frightening the T-Rex looks the verb crushing reveals its awesome force, okay so this is the Explanation and actually this even extends to you is readers feel terrified as we wonder whether this creature will kill the men Okay, so to be honest readers effect can either go into your link or your explanation However, I would say that this is part of my explanation. Okay now really quickly as you can see I've not only mentioned language Okay hyperbole and also done a word level analysis, which is focusing on a verb Remember one of the bullet points in this question, which is why question number two Sometimes can be a little bit surprising and you know a little bit tricky is because one of the bullet points says look at sentence form So I'd say to be on the safe side mentioned for example a declarative sentence Okay, declarative sentences a sentence that states a fact feeling or mood We speak a majority of stories are written with declarative sentences just telling you what's happening Okay, so that's a good safe bet and hence why I've mentioned it here. Okay as part of my explanation So talked about hyperbole. I've talked about verb, but I've also just to be Covered for that final bullet point. I've talked about declarative sentence. Okay, and of course I've explained how this is making You know this T-rex look really scared and we realize this awesome force It's overwhelming force. Okay, and thus we feel really terrified because of course it's menacing as I've mentioned in my point Okay, now let's look at my link back to the question Hence the writer vividly uses language to convey how odd and truly terrifying the T-rex's appearances It's odd because it's smiling. Okay, that's that's really scary. Usually we think of monsters It's not grinning. They're just like they look really serious and scary. Okay, however, that's what even makes it more petrifying It's really odd. It's bizarre and thus truly terrifying So that's the link back to the question again I've linked it back to the question emphasising some of the keywords the use of language and of course referring back to the T-rex show my examiner them answering the question I'm staying focused. So when it comes to question number two I would suggest if of course you have time to write a third pill paragraph. That's great Go for it. Okay. However, if you only have enough time in the 10 minutes allocated for this question Write a minimum of two pill paragraphs paragraph number one Which talks about words and phrases taken from the opening and then pill paragraph number two Which is taken from towards the closing bit of the extract that's put before you So that's really it when it comes to answering question number two for this paper
