 Hi guys, hello, hello, hello. This is the first time I'm doing a live on YouTube and I decided specifically to do a live on YouTube because I feel like I've been neglecting you guys in my day ones and I literally was trying to figure out how I'd be able to do kind of a live in a similar way to the TikTok lives. And I've just kind of been trying to, I suppose understand how to use the YouTube format in a way to revise for English. So I thought what would be really good and hopefully you guys can hear me, okay? So I'm using my laptop today. I usually use my phone for the TikTok lives. However, what I thought would be really good to do for this live today, looking at English language paper one, but those of you that are gonna be sitting the exam next week, okay? So this is gonna be on the 18th on Wednesday, okay? I believe it's gonna be on Wednesday. What I just wanted to do is basically go over English language paper one, kind of do like a really intensive revision lesson, okay? So I can see the comments which is very refreshing as opposed to YouTube, I'm very fine. However, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna, you guys feel free to kind of comment. However, what I'm gonna do is focus on the revision session, right? So hopefully you can see behind me, there's a lot I wanted to cover. I wanted to kind of go over English language in a nutshell, what you should pay attention to when doing the exams, kind of taking a step back a little bit, considering things like timings, the framework as you choose, irrespective of what English language paper comes up, what the difference is between language and structure, all the major things that you might kind of find challenging or you might have forgotten or overlooked when, we're looking at specific model answers. But also what I did is I literally printed out all the English language paper one exams that AQA has ever done from 2017 all the way to 2021. And I think what would be really good is if we can have a chance to also go over, literally all the historical trends for English language paper one, okay? I hope you guys can hear me clearly, okay? Just let me know if the audio isn't that great. Thank you so much about the essays, okay? However, guys, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna dive straight into kind of all of these different stages when it comes to revision, okay? So what you should bear top of mind when it comes to English language paper one and how to get ready for the upcoming exam, all right? So I'm gonna take my trusty pencil and let's first start off guys by recapping on timings, okay? So I'll always do this when I'm starting off the model answers. Let's first recap timings for English language paper one, okay? So guys, remember that you've got one hour 45 minutes for the English language paper one exam, okay? So one hour 45 minutes for the English language paper one exam. Remember that this is the fiction exam, okay? So remember that you're only gonna be given one extract. In fact, let me give an example here, okay? So let's quickly go over this. This is gonna be the June 2017 paper, all right? So you always get one fiction extract, okay? So you've got one fiction extract and of course you also have for question number five, you've got a choice of descriptive and creative writing, okay? So always remember that's the standard structure for your English language paper one exam, okay? Now, let's begin by recapping on what you should consider when it comes to timings and how to manage this one hour 45 minutes exam, okay? You should hopefully know this off by heart but of the one hour 45 minutes begin the first 10 minutes reading through all five questions within the exam, okay? So spend the first 10 minutes reading through all the questions, highlighting all the keywords within the questions and then afterwards reading through the insert, okay? So guys, I know that there's comments coming in. However, I'm gonna address the comments after I kind of go over what I really need to go over in English language paper one, all right? Anyway, so going quickly back over timings. So you've got one hour 45 minutes, spend the first 10 minutes first reading through the question paper, okay? So make sure you read all five questions and then afterwards read the insert, highlight the keywords and all the relevant information that you need to pick out to answer the question, that's how you should manage this one hour 45 minutes. Obviously, if you have like extra time and stuff kind of adjust it accordingly, okay? So once you have kind of made sure you're managing your timings, okay? So you've got your first 10 minutes reading through the questions, the insert spend five minutes on question number one, okay? So let's quickly go over the exam structure. Question number one, make sure you spend five minutes on this question, okay? Maximum five minutes if you can, a little bit less. And here you're only supposed to find kind of four things from the text, which are true about the main character or the main protagonist, okay? So spend a maximum of five minutes on question number one. Then for question number two which is the language question, okay? Here you wanna write two pull paragraphs on this question which is worth eight marks, spend a max of 10 minutes and that works out to roughly about five minutes for each pull paragraph that you do for question number two, okay? This is the language question. Then for question number three which is the structure question, I'm gonna go over the differences between language and structure, okay? However, for the structure question, spend a max also of 10 minutes writing two pull paragraphs. I'll suggest having the first pull paragraph where you juxtapose how structure is used in the beginning versus the end and then your second pull paragraph being either something to do with the sentence type or listing repetition, whatever, okay? So 10 minutes for question number three, try to use five minutes writing the first pull paragraph comparing the beginning versus end for instance and then the last five minutes going over another point, okay? For your pull paragraphs. Now with question number four which is usually a student statement kind of having read blah, blah, blah, said whatever. This question, given that it's worth 20 marks I would suggest when it comes to timings spending 20 minutes on this question, okay? So this student statement one and begin with an introduction, write four pull paragraphs and a conclusion and if you've watched enough of the model answer videos that I've kind of put out on YouTube you should kind of know the structure by now, okay? And finally for question number five which is worth 40 marks so it's worth half of the overall paper's marks spend 50 minutes so this is the remaining 50 minutes on this question so you pick either the creative or descriptive writing question and then kind of plan for the first 10 minutes then spend 35 minutes writing out your response and then five minutes at the end reading it over, okay? So just to quickly recap on timings for the exam you've got one hour 45 minutes spend the first 10 minutes reading through all five questions then reading through the insert then for question number one which is the four statement question spend five minutes max then for question number two spend 10 minutes max question number three spend 10 minutes max question number four spend 20 minutes max and then question number five which is a creative or descriptive writing spend 50 minutes max on this question, okay? So I hope that's clear so far and I'm not moving too quickly, okay? So guys, this is what you should consider when it comes to exam structure and what you should anticipate for the language paper one exam next week, okay? Now let's quickly recap on what kind of framework you should take when it comes to sitting the exams, okay? So what framework should you adopt when it comes to approaching question one, two, three, four and five? The reason why a framework is really important for the language paper one exam is that you don't have that much time, okay? One hour 45 minutes sounds like it's a lot of time but it's not that much and if you kind of spend too long kind of dilly-dallying thinking about, okay how do I open this paragraph? How do I open that paragraph? You kind of lose a lot of time so I kind of came up with a very basic framework that you can adopt especially if you find it a little bit difficult to start yourself off when you're writing your pill paragraphs, okay? So let's quickly go over it. Now, when it comes to question number one the general thing to remember so this is the four statements, questions is make sure you write brief but full sentences, okay? Make sure you don't write like one word sentences or one word responses, okay? I hope that's kind of clear. Now for question number two you've got two pill paragraphs that you have to consider, okay? So you've got two pill paragraphs and two pill points to write out and this is how I would suggest opening each pill paragraph if you struggle with kind of getting into and diving straight into answering question number one and then question number two. I would suggest the first paragraph you can begin by stating firstly the writer powerfully uses keywords from the question, okay? Going back to what I've suggested highlight the keywords and then put that as your first pill paragraph firstly the writer uses or firstly the writer powerfully employs for instance, a simile or whatever, right? And then your second pill paragraph you can literally just say secondly, the writer effectively employs or effectively uses then you keep another example this is your two pill paragraphs for question number two, okay? Now this is the framework I would adopt if going into question number three for paper one, okay? So when you open your first pill paragraph as I mentioned, you should kind of try to juxtapose beginning versus ending of a question or of the insert, okay? So beginning or ending as your first pill point and then your second pill point would be to do with another structural feature. My suggestion when opening each pill paragraph would be the following. So your first pill paragraph which I would suggest doing a beginning versus ending writes the following, we'll start off with the following the author opens the extract by stating blah, blah, blah whatever is going on at the beginning of the extract and then you add and by the end of the extracts the author states whatever, right? Again, you will see that when you go over and also when we go over kind of some questions, okay? As I mentioned, I've literally printed all the English language AQA pass papers when we kind of go over that I think it's really important your first pill paragraph should begin literally with the author opens the extract by stating blah, blah, blah, whatever is going on at the beginning and then in the same sentence you then state however by the end of the passage the author then ends by blah, blah, blah that's how to start the first pill paragraph of question number three. The second pill paragraph literally just reverse to how you would begin your pill paragraphs or question number two. Secondly, the author uses or the author affected the users and then you can talk about either sentence types, repetition, listing and so on, okay? So that's the framework in terms of how to dive into answering question number three. I hope I'm kind of being clear on how to approach this. Now with question number four, which I've mentioned this is the 20 mark question, okay? So you've got your intro, your four pill paragraphs if you can try to go for that and then your conclusion. This is how I would suggest in terms of framing your response. If this is something that you struggle with kind of diving into a question. So question number four, it tells you a student having read this said, whatever, right? Now the introduction, this is how I would suggest opening an introduction if you struggle with going into an intro for question number four. I will suggest opening by stating the author has successfully and then think about the student statement keywords, okay? So the author has successfully, I remember yesterday the practice paper we did on a TikTok live was something to do with vividly bringing the mother's character to life, right? So it was about a guy talking about his mom passing away. And so going back into this, you would begin your introduction by stating the author has successfully brought the mother's character to life through using a range of language and structure techniques, right? That's your introduction. Then in terms of opening pill paragraphs. So as I mentioned, you've got four pill paragraphs to consider for question number four. This is how I would suggest if you struggle with opening your pill paragraphs, open with, first see the writer employs whatever technique, other language and structure technique. Remember in question number four, you wanna mix both language observations and structural observations, okay? I know that there's comments coming in guys. I'm not reading them at the moment because I'm gonna probably use my tone of thought but I'm gonna address them afterwards, okay? Make sure your comments are kind by the way guys, okay? So make sure they are kind. Anyway, going back to question number four in terms of the framework. So begin your introduction with the author has successfully, whatever the student statement is, your first pill paragraph would be first see the writer employs then you either mentioned the language or structural technique or you know how the writer vividly depicts whatever the student statement says. Then your next three pill paragraphs literally reverse to how you would open question number two. But then obviously this would be the second pill paragraph. So your second pill paragraph would be secondly, the author effectively does whatever second point you want to put. Thirdly or additionally, the author effectively employs blah, blah, blah. Finally, so this is your fourth pill paragraph how you would open as they chew by stating. Finally, the author powerfully depicts or powerfully uses blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Key words from the question. With the conclusion for question number four you open by stating in conclusion the author has effectively student statement from the question for question number four. Now I know my suggestion with question number four which is start with an intro for pill paragraphs and conclusions a little bit controversial and I do have a lot of people that kind of debate and they're like, no, you don't need to do introduction. Don't need to do conclusion. I would suggest you're using your intro and conclusion to address the student statement to show that you agree. And I would suggest always agree with the student statement because it doesn't tend to contradict what is going on in the text, okay? My suggestion is include an intro and conclusion because that's your space to say indirectly, I agree with the student, then you use your pill paragraphs to say, okay, this is my first reason how the author does this second reason, third reason, fourth reason in your pill paragraph then your conclusion gives you the space to reiterate that you still understand the assignment. So you still understand what the student statement said. Then you say, okay, in conclusion, the author has effectively employed language and structure techniques to whatever. That's my suggestion. Obviously, if you feel like, for example, you're not writing fast enough, honestly guys, if you find speed writing as a challenge the best way to get faster at writing is practicing more and more papers, okay? Again, as I mentioned, I'm literally gonna go over a stash of literally all the AQA papers that have ever been released on the website from 2017 all the way to 2021, okay? So that we can kind of look for trends or anything like that. Now, I would suggest given that this is publicly available, okay? So you can download these papers on AQA's website. How to improve your speed writing is literally download these papers and write and write and write. That's how you are going to improve rather than complaining and saying, oh, it's not possible, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah. Just try to improve your speed writing, okay? Because those of you who can speed read and speed write you are at a very unique advantage when it comes to the English language exams, okay? Now let's finally move to the framework for question number five. So as I mentioned, when I was talking about timings with question number five, you should aim to spend around 50 minutes on this question because it's worth half of the overall papers marks. It's worth 40 marks. So let's talk about the framework, okay? Now remember with question number five you've got a choice of two questions. You've got the descriptive writing and the creative writing, okay? So there's a different way to adopt either the descriptive or creative writing. Let's quickly go over the framework for that. So for question number five, you could either go for the creative story question which means you would adopt the story mountain structure. Go for five paragraphs, start off with your beginning where you introduce your characters and the setting. You then have your buildup paragraph where your character goes on an adventure. Then you've got your problem, what obstacle or what villain your character faces. That's your third paragraph. Then you go on to a resolution. How does your character resolve this issue? However, if let's say your story, you're asked to write the opening of a story, meaning you don't finish that story. You either end with a cliffhanger at the ending or of course, if it's just like write a regular story about whatever you can then end with, okay, has the character resolved whatever issue that they face and how does that look like, okay? That's the creative story approach. This is the framework that I would suggest using when you go for the creative story option for question number five, okay? Your story mountain, your beginning paragraph one, buildup paragraph two, problem paragraph three, resolution paragraph four and ending slash cliffhanger paragraph five depending on the creative writing question. However, it's also important to try and practice descriptive writing, okay? So let's quickly go over the framework for descriptive writing. I always talk about using a five paragraph structure for descriptive writing and I call it concentric circles, okay? So, you know, five concentric circles of five paragraphs of descriptive writing. Let's go over what goes into each paragraph. You start off with your setting and weather paragraphs. Let's say you've got an image, okay? And again, once more what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna try and look for a question to illustrate what I mean with descriptive writing especially. So this is a 2017 paper, all right. So let's say you've got this image, right? So you've got this bus. So there's a woman looking at the bus, whatever, whatever. With descriptive writing, if you were given an image like this, the mistake a lot of people make when it comes to descriptive writing is they dive straight into the most obvious thing in this image, okay? So again, if you look at this image, the most obvious thing are the people, the passengers. That's the central focus. Don't do that if you're going for descriptive writing. Adopt these concentric circles starting off with the setting and weather. So setting and weather is the outer circle. What's going on the outside, right? When we look outside, we can see like it's dark. Maybe we can also imagine that given that it's dark and everyone seems to be wearing coats, it's kind of cold, right? It's winter time, it's a wintry setting. But equally because it's outside and it seems like a really busy city, perhaps the setting is a city setting and it's really noisy, right? That's your setting and weather paragraph, okay? And that's the outer circle of the concentric circles and descriptive writing. That's paragraph number one. Paragraph number two for descriptive writing is your atmosphere and mood. Again, don't talk about how people's moods are in the most obvious kind of element of this image. Think about generally speaking, are people happy, right? It's a wintry setting, it's kind of cold. They seem to be stuck in traffic. It seems like a really busy city like London. So maybe the atmosphere is one of kind of irritation, you know, everyone's exhausted, so on and so forth, right? The reason why it's the second inner circle is because you're still thinking about what's going on around this image, okay? What's the general atmosphere? What's the general sentiments? What are the general moods and feelings? Then your third paragraph when it comes to descriptive writing, okay? So now this is the third inner circle is your central focus, okay? So now this is the obvious stuff that you find in the descriptive writing. As I mentioned, when people go for descriptive writing, they make the mistake of starting with the central focus. Don't do that, have that as paragraph number three. What is going on with the most obvious element of the image, okay? Then paragraph number four is where you shift into feelings and, you know, talking about and using lots of sensory language here, okay? Sensory language means the fire senses, what you can see, what you can smell, what you can hear, what you can touch, what you can taste, okay? So here you're using lots of auditory imagery to describe the general feelings and sentiments maybe within the bus, right? So is the bus maybe a little bit stuffy, right? Are people a little bit kind of irritated? Does it, for me, when I was going through this live, it looked like the bus was stuck in traffic. So maybe there's like a feeling of impatience as people are kind of rustling around. The cars also around are also maybe feeling impatient, perhaps, okay? Then your final paragraph might be your slight change paragraph. With descriptive writing, you can't shift too much in terms of changing what's going on from night time to morning, okay? That makes it story. Slight change could be does the bus inch forward, okay? Or slight change could be does she shift from looking towards us, right? So looking out at the window to looking forward, right? So slight change paragraph, okay? Hopefully that kind of makes clear the framework to adopt for all five questions. What we're doing is we're taking a step back, okay? So we're taking a step back when it comes to English language. What we've been doing a lot, especially over the lives that I've been going over in TikTok, is really focusing a lot on just literally, okay, how to answer this paper, how to answer this paper. Going into the nitty gritty of answering the questions. And I thought, what this live would be really useful to do is take a step back when you're revising, remind yourself firstly of timings and how to manage that time and how. Now guys, given that you literally have just a few days before your exam, you should have a watch, right? And when you're practicing, now be really strict with yourself on these timings. Question number one, spend a max of five minutes, okay? You know, you can have your timer go off after five minutes, then you have to move on to question number two. Question number two, spend, so the language question, spend a max of 10 minutes, have your timer go off, then you strictly move on to question number three. Question number three, spend a max of 10 minutes, have your timer go off, you move on. Question number four, the student statement, spend a max of 20 minutes. If you've spent slightly less on question number one, so let's say you spent like two minutes on question number one, right? Then 23 minutes perhaps for question number four, right? Time it goes off, you move on. Then for question number five, time yourself, pick either the creative or descriptive writing question, then, you know, time yourself for 50 minutes, then once the timer is off, then check, okay, in these 50 minutes, what was I able to do? Okay, so this is super important, guys, all right? And of course, as I mentioned, the exam structure is as follows. Question number one, you just have to write four statements, question number two is a language question, question number three is a structure question, question number four is a student statement question, and then question number five is either creative or descriptive writing, okay? As I mentioned, this is just the general framework to adopt. If you struggle, especially with questions one to four, if you really struggle with opening your pill paragraphs, these are the statements you can use to literally open so that you save time, okay? A lot of people waste a lot of time kind of dilly-dallying. How do I open this paragraph? How do I open this paragraph, okay? Just have certain statements in your mind and then use that when you're diving into the questions, okay? That really helps in improving your speed writing, okay? So now that we've done our exam framework, let's now recap. Remember, you've got question two, which is the language question, question three, which is a structure question and question number four, which is a mix of both. Therefore you need to be really clear on what language techniques mean versus what structure techniques mean, okay? So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna kind of reel off off the top of my mind and maybe what I might do actually if I, if you guys want me to kind of go over and kind of scribble on this and then rub this off maybe afterwards I'll do that. Let's quickly go over and recap the difference between techniques. So when you're answering question number two, what language techniques, what does that mean? Whilst when you're answering question number three, what language techniques and what does that mean, okay? So let's begin with the language question, okay? Language techniques are the following. Firstly begin with the building blocks of language, which is what we use technically in the word level analysis. You've got nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns. You also have prepositions and determiners. That's the building blocks. That's what we tend to use when we're doing language analysis or rather word level analysis in the language question and also in question number four, okay? However, language techniques are also what we traditionally see as literary techniques. This includes alliteration, sibilance, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, personification, semantic field, juxtaposition. I'm thinking that I'm forgetting a few things, okay? So this also includes language techniques. When you're thinking about language techniques, you're also considering alliteration. So when you're making your explanation clear, you would say, for instance, the writer uses this simile or uses this alliteration to convey blah, blah, blah. Then when you do your word level analysis, you then pick out the building block words in this noun or in this pronoun or whatever, okay? So just to be clear, language techniques are the following. Building block words, nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, determiners. However, you also have your literary technique words. Alliteration, sibilance, onomatopoeia, oxymoron, juxtaposition, pathetic fallacy, semantic field. And I'm trying to think, if any other ones come to mind, I'll let you guys know, okay? That's what language techniques are. However, structure is the following. So when you're doing question number three, the structure question, these are the techniques to remember to use. The structure techniques are sentence types, okay? So you've got simple, compound, complex sentences, a good, a favorite of mine for sentence types is declarative sentence, which is the easiest one to spot. It's a sentence that states a fact, feeling or mood. Then also in terms of structure, you have ellipsis, repetition, listing. And also, I guess, things like when it comes to listing, you've got a syndetine, which is listing without any connectives and syndetic listing, which is where you use lots of connectives, okay? I hope that's clear. So that's literally the difference between language techniques to talk about when you're doing question number two versus structure techniques. And again, I can kind of list them out afterwards if it's helpful to kind of have them in front of you. However, that's the main difference to bear in mind, okay? So remember in question number two, when you're talking about language, it's nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, similes, alliteration, oxymorons, and so on. Whilst in question number three, when you're talking about structure, you're thinking about sentence types, you're thinking about repetition, you're thinking about ellipsis, but also what I forgot to add for structure is beginning versus end or beginning versus middle, okay? So the final thing that I can go over sentence types, so compound, simple, imperative. Okay, I'm gonna quickly go over sentence types, okay? Because I've just kind of spotted that comment. Firstly, let's go over what simple sentences. Remember, every sentence needs to have a subject and a verb, okay? If it has a subject and a verb, and that's it, so for example, the cat sat or the cat sat on a mat, usually sentences tend to have a subject verb and object. If it's written like that in a self-contained way, that makes sense, that's a simple sentence, okay? So the cat sat on a mat, subject being the cat, object being a mat, and obviously the verb, which is really important, the cat sat, okay? So it's usually subject followed by verb, followed by object. If it's just one subject, one verb, and one object, that's a simple sentence, okay? Compound sentence is two or more simple sentences joined together with either a connective, commas, or so on. If you break up the compound sentence, each individual, what we call clause or phrase, stands alone, so for instance, the cat sat on a mat and the dog jumped up, right? If you take out the and and you just look at the cat sat on a mat, which is subject verb and object, and the dog jumped up, which is also subject and verb, those two stand independently, all right? So that's a compound sentence. A complex sentence, which is pretty much more popular than compound, is when you have a main clause, so a simple sentence, the cat sat on a mat, joined by an extra bit of a sentence, usually like a very long extra bit of a sentence that doesn't stand by itself. So the cat sat on a mat and died. The part that comes after the connective, if it can't stand by itself, that's a complex sentence. However, going into sentence functions, okay? So when you hear stuff like imperative sentence, declarative sentence, interrogatory sentence, rhetorical question, I'll go over the functions now, okay? Declarative sentence, the job that this sentence does is it states either a fact, feeling, or mood, okay? That's my favorite sentence type because majority of written and spoken sentences are declarative sentences. Even just what I'm saying, just declarative sentences, I'm really tired, that's a declarative sentence, right? Even when you're reading a story. John sat up, that's a declarative, a story is written in a series of declarative sentences. However, there's other sentences with other functions. Imperative sentence serves the function of issuing a command, sit down, get up. Please stand up, right? So for example, if you're reading a story for English language and John was there with his mother and his mother told him, please sit down. Please sit down is an imperative sentence. Even if she's saying please, she's still telling him to sit down, okay? So you can say this is an imperative sentence. Another sentence function is what we call exclamatory sentence. It has an exclamation mark at the end. It usually, what this sentence does is it expresses a strong emotion, like get down. So actually get down is a exclamatory sentence as it ends with an exclamation mark showing someone shouting, but also it's an imperative sentence because it's telling people to get down, right? Or when somebody says, I can't believe it, exclamation mark, that's an exclamatory sentence. The final sentence type in terms of its function are question sentences and they're split into two. You've got a rhetorical question, which is a sentence that doesn't need, it asks a question, but it doesn't need a response. But then you also have what's called an interrogatory sentence, okay? Which is kind of like an interrogation. It's a question that requires an answer, okay? So hopefully that's kind of straightforward, okay? This video is meant for AQA. I'm thinking of doing Edexcel, by the way, guys. Edexcel, guys, I'm thinking of doing that maybe on Saturday, but I'm gonna kind of confirm this, okay? Anyway, guys, so just quickly going back over this, the final thing I wanted to do is review the kind of historical trends that maybe we can notice in order to perhaps predict what may come up in next week's papers, okay? So I'm gonna just quickly check if, so what was the paragraph three and four? Guys, by the way, in terms of how long this live is gonna be, it's probably gonna end at like maybe 5.30, right? So 5.30, maybe go over a little bit, okay? Anyway, guys, so in terms of, I'm gonna quickly check the comments. Does anybody have any questions relating to this or what you kind of might want me to go back over before I go over now? Historical kind of trends in the language paper exams. So just quickly checking if there's any... Okay, do people want to begin by talking about maybe descriptive and creative writing? Because what I can do is begin by that, okay? And also what I'm gonna do maybe is rub this off and then we'll quickly go over kind of questions number three, four. I know in terms of revision websites, Seneca is supposed to be really good, okay? So predictions, all right, so not question number three or four. So you guys would rather go over the historical papers. So this is literally all the AQA papers from, I guess 2017, which was like when this new structure started all the way to 2021. And then what we can do, especially with questions, we'll kind of ignore question number one, okay? Cause I think question number one is really straightforward. In terms of question number one, just remember that you're always, you're always asked to look at the first four, or rather the first four lines or the first paragraph, whatever, right? So remember question number one, it just asks you to look at the first paragraph or the first part of the extract, list four things about the source that blah, blah, blah, right? So it's fairly straightforward. Just remember question number one, don't write one word answers, okay? So make sure you don't write one word answers, okay? So guys, in terms of the paper, all right, so let's quickly go over the papers, okay? Because what I think, main idea is some question number three in terms of making peel paragraphs. Guys, I'm gonna do like a model answer live on YouTube, right? So what I wanted to do was just take a step back and go over these, but then I think maybe what I might do is go over, do like a live answering, because I've done lots of lives which I've uploaded onto YouTube. However, I might do a live directly on YouTube where I'm literally answering like, maybe not these questions because I've gone over them and literally all the lives that are available, but a new English language paper one. But I think what would be helpful maybe is perhaps talking about definitely question number five. So I'm gonna be going over question five a lot actually. So descriptive and creative writing because I think what would be, I think one way to practice and prepare for question number five, guys, don't memorize stories, okay? Don't, there's a lot of people who are saying, oh, for question number five, I'm just gonna memorize like a really good story and then use that whatever comes up. Don't do that, use that time instead to just practice lots of different kind of settings and so on, okay? So guys, let's quickly go over, okay. So I'm gonna work backwards. We're gonna go over question number five and what question five came up or what question fives came up for all these English language paper one exams, okay? So thinking about also trends and what you can anticipate because when I was actually going over these papers, I found a trend that you might also notice when looking at just question number five. Actually, what we'll do is we'll work backwards. So let's quickly go over from 2017 all the way to 2021. What came up in quest for question number five for both creative and descriptive writing. In terms of my recommendation, that's a tricky one. I think story is a good one to go for. However, I think the problem when people go for just story practicing, they write a series of loads and loads of events. So they have like five characters, three settings, loads of dialogue and what the story does is it lacks any depth. It doesn't have enough descriptive quality. Whilst what descriptive writing does is you're killing two birds with one stone when you're practicing for that. You're practicing how to really develop depth in your descriptions, right? Using ambitious language, ambitious vocabulary, but also it's challenging in the sense that you have to keep it really static. However, if you become really good at descriptive writing, you're kind of covered for descriptive writing but equally if the descriptive writing question is kind of like, not that great, you can use all that really rich language and just transfer that into storytelling. Does that make sense? So I think guys, what we're gonna do because there seems to be lots of question number five, let's go over what's come up for question number five historically, okay? Guys, remember up until 2020, when you go in the AQA website, you're gonna find that there's two papers per year group, okay? So in 2017, you've got a June exam, this is a summer exam, but then you also have the November recent exam, okay? So this happened every single year up until 2020, obviously because of COVID, okay? So let's look at literally the June, November, June, November, June, November to see what came up for question number five, okay? So guys, again, remember literally, this is all available on AQA's website, okay? Just literally Google AQA language paper one and you're gonna find them, okay? So this is the June 2017 exam, okay? It's the one which was the Roosevelt paper. Now guys, bear in mind that the question, the descriptive question was described the bus journey as suggested by this picture. So this is a city landscape and a city setting which is quite busy, okay? That's the image for the June question. The story, which was the statement says, write a story about two people from very different backgrounds, okay? So this is interesting. You've got the descriptive one, which is to do with a city landscape, talking about them being in a bus, how busy the bus is and so on. However, the one which says, write a story about people from two different backgrounds, this story question is a little bit tricky. However, I think one way to get around challenging questions, especially stories, is try to think about any story you might have read that's really similar or watched on Netflix and then kind of transpose that into this question. For instance, if I saw this, I would instantly think Remy and Juliet, right? You've got two people who are in love for very different backgrounds, the families are warring. Or for instance, if you, I don't know if any of you guys watch Euphoria, but even thinking about the school setting, right? You've got maybe two people from different backgrounds. One of them is really popular from a stable family, versus somebody that's not popular from an unstable family. Then you develop a story narrative using obviously the story mountain structure to write that response, okay? But make sure, again, when you're writing out your story, don't add too much action and too many different characters. Maximum, because obviously here, it's about people from two different backgrounds. It would be maximum two people. And then you talk about maybe the challenges that they face. Maybe for instance, it could be like a popular person who's stuck after school with an unpopular person, they're working on a story or something, or they're working on a project. Then the janitor doesn't realize, for instance, that there's people in there, they're locked in for the night. And then these people from two different backgrounds, going back to the question, have to figure out a way to escape. They have to work together, right? And maybe you can write it from first person narrative and then develop that, okay? Anyway, so this is what came up for the 2017 paper. The image is the descriptive question for June 2017 and the statement is the story question, okay? Now, moving on to the November 2017 paper. So just looking at the question number five, what came up, okay? Now, in terms of this paper, so this is the reset paper, the question is interesting in the sense that this is the only paper I've seen structured in this way. Both questions were story questions. So the image question was a story question. So you've got a story set in a mountainous area suggested by this picture. And then the next one, the statement question is also a story with a title discovery, right? This is, to be honest, this shouldn't kind of alarm you. You shouldn't kind of think, oh my gosh, I think maybe the paper this year is gonna only be like two descriptive questions or two creative writing questions. This is the only one that came up where you literally only have a story for both of them, okay? So hence why I would suggest don't practice both descriptive and creative writing, but obviously anticipate that both of them will come up, okay? Now guys, pay attention in November 2017, you had an image for the story and obviously the statement was a story with the title discovery, okay? I would probably think that this one is interesting in the sense that you can kind of talk about, and I think I did a live on this one where there was a discovery of like a terrible family secret, right? Whilst this story is kind of describing, I believe I also did this one where I was writing it from the first person perspective of this guy and he was like considering committing suicide until he saw this little white bird and then the bird kind of was assigned for him to keep on going, right? He would be broken up with his girlfriend or whatever and he decided to carry on, okay? So, so far we've looked at the June 2017 paper, you've got the image, the descriptive question related to the bus and then the statement, which was a story and then obviously this is the November 2018, 2017 paper. Now let's look at what came up for question, just question number five in 2018, okay? So this is the 2018 paper, the June 2018 paper. Now here, just like the June 2017, you have an image which was related to the descriptive question. So you've got an old man's face and then the story was the statement, okay? So you've got a description of an old person suggested by this picture or story about a time when things turned out unexpectedly, okay? Now, this question is interesting and again, we went over a live on this, however, with this question, obviously, with things turning out unexpectedly, I think the statement question is fairly kind of open ended. So you can talk about anything that has like a plot twist, right? You're driving and then suddenly, you know, the car overturns or you're driving in the middle of like a, you know, you're entering home, you're going into a house as normal and then suddenly you come in and then the door is creaking and maybe there's like an intruder, right? Whilst this one with the old man, you're thinking about firstly, what's going on the outside, you know, he seems to be lonely, maybe in the care home and then you focus in on, so the atmosphere and mood, it seems maybe like a really solitary atmosphere. The central focus obviously is the old man, his weathered face and the feelings seem to be, I would say he seems deeply sad or kind of expectant or perhaps a guest who never comes and then the slight change could be he turns away and maybe turns back, right? Turns away because I'm imagining that maybe he's looking at a shaft of light in his room. He's turns away from that shaft of light, okay? So this is the June 2018 paper, okay? As I mentioned for June 2018, just like June 2017, the image was a descriptive question whilst the statement was a story question, just like June 2017. Now let's look at the reset paper only for question number five and what came up for the reset paper, okay? Now this is the T-Rex paper, if any of you guys have done it and here for the reset paper, the image, a story about time travel and positions by this picture, that was the story question for the reset paper and then the statement was described life as you imagine it in 200 years this time, this was for the reset paper, okay? So the previous year, 2017, it was just a story for both of them. Here you've got story for the image and then descriptive for the statement, okay? Bear with me, okay? You're gonna see that there's a trend to maybe anticipate for your upcoming exams next week for question number five, okay? So let's have a look at the June 2019. Let's see whether for the third year in the row was the image related to descriptive writing and was the statement relating to story for question number five, okay? So June 2019, so this is a summary exam, this is the hard top paper, again here you've got an image relating to descriptive writing and then the statement, so the image was described at marketplace as suggested by this picture. The statement was write a story with the title abandoned. Maybe there's a trend here that we are seeing with the summer exams where you've got the image that's related to descriptive writing question and then the statement is the story question, okay? Now let's look at what came up for the November 2019 exam, okay? So this is question number five, what came up for November 2019? The reason why we're going over this is maybe you can kind of confidently assume how the layout might be for your creative and descriptive writing for question number five. This is the reset paper. This is the one where I believe it was, oh, a young married couple, there was an avalanche, right? So there's a woman called Zoesh doesn't realize there's an avalanche until it's too late. Now the question number five, the story question is related to the image, just like the previous year where you had the image and that's the story question, then the descriptive question is the statement, okay? So now for two years in a row for the reset paper, you have an image related to the story question and descriptive writing for the statement. So it seems like for June, they swap it around. So for June, they do the descriptive writing for the image and the story as the statement, then the reset seems to be the story is the image and then descriptive writing is the statement. Let's see if that holds true for the 2020 paper, okay? So this is now the paper where there was no reset paper because it was COVID, okay? However, for the June 2020 exams, this is a summary exam. Let's have a look at what came up for the descriptive and creative writing question, okay? So with the creative writing question and descriptive writing question, here we've got description of a mysterious setting, that's the image, just like the previous Junes and then the statement is writer story, okay? So now for four years in a row in June, the image has been the descriptive writing question and then the story has just been the statement. So maybe you can confidently predict if you want to go for a story question, that will be the statement question you might have to address. Whilst perhaps maybe what you can assume with AQA, so maybe what you can predict will happen with AQA is they'll give you an image to do the descriptive writing with, okay? So that means you're gonna have a lot to work with with the image, but that will be for descriptive writing as opposed to the story. This is useful if you're doing story writing practice, but you're kind of like, oh my God, I really hope it's gonna be the image, maybe it might not be, okay? So now let's look at the final 2021 paper, okay? This is the one which was to do with Ugu and master. So let's have a look specifically at what came up for question number five, all right? Now with question number five, again here, you've got the image related to descriptive writing and then the statement to write the story about a new beginning, that's the story one, okay? Again, we went over this and I've written responses for this, which you can kind of check out in the YouTube channel. This again is a city landscape. So really interesting cityscape, right? Here you've got, it seems really busy, blah, blah, blah and this is a descriptive one. Whilst the story about a new beginning, I believe the story I'd written was to do with somebody who had a really stressful life in London, that then decided to just completely run away to like a cottage in the middle of nowhere. And then they were feeling really nervous about having to like break the news to everybody that they've quit their job and they've just left the city, okay? That was their new beginning, okay? So I guess in terms of the trends and the patterns for question number five, which was worth half of the overall paper's marks, I would suggest anticipating that the descriptive question will be the image question and then the story will be the one where you just have a statement and then you have to figure it out. And I guess the challenge with the story is you might be asked to write a story with the title, like the discovery or the outsider, or you could just be asked something really open-ended. Write a story about, you know, the end or write a story when just like the things turned out unexpectedly, for instance, okay? Now, in terms of, so in terms of question number five, just to quickly recap, when you're answering these questions, obviously use this structure, okay? Now guys, I wanted to quickly check in terms of what I've gone over so far, is it clear? Okay, so let me know yes or no, is it clear? Is it not? And did you guys want to go over question number five a little bit more or shall we shift gears a little bit and talk about what you can anticipate or kind of what you can consider when looking at section A? So let me just have a quick look. So story or description, I think I suggested going for, so question number five, so you want to look at how to answer question number five. Okay, so the description is paragraph four about central focus, no. Okay, guys, really quickly, so let's look at question number five a little bit, okay? Let's go over what I've just suggested with the structure. Now with question number five, as I mentioned, what we've seen in terms of trends is the image will likely be the descriptive writing and the statement will be the story. For both of them, how to structure it, number one is have a five paragraph structure either for story or descriptive writing. In terms of story, start off with your beginning, right? I would suggest keeping it one character max two if the question asks for it, okay? So for instance, going back to one of the past papers, write a story about people from different backgrounds, that one you would have to have a minimum of two characters because you have to juxtapose and contrast the backgrounds, right? So in your story in the beginning, you're introducing them and you're also introducing which setting they are in. Keep your setting strictly to just one setting. It could be two people from different backgrounds in a school setting, two people from different backgrounds, for instance, in a family setting, right? Remy and Juliet, that kind of thing, right? And then your build-up would be, for instance, as I mentioned, if we go with the story from people from two different backgrounds, the popular girl with the unpopular geeky girl, the build-up, the adventure is they have to, they've come back, they're sitting in a classroom together and they're working on a project. The problems, this is paragraph number three, the problem paragraph would be the janitor, they hear like the click of the door and then they realize that they're locked in, right? And they realize like, you know, we'd be locked in and now everyone's gone home and we're gonna be, if we don't do anything about this, we're gonna have to sleep over, right? And then the resolution would be what do they do, right? Do they try and edge open the window? Do they work the locks, whatever? And then the ending would be, do they escape or do you end on a bit of a cliffhanger where things are getting darker and darker and darker and they're losing hope, okay? That would be the story structure, the five paragraph structure, beginning, build-up, problem, resolution and ending. However, for descriptive writing, which we can confidently assume you're gonna be given an image to work with, I will suggest going with a five paragraph structure, but seeing it as very static, okay? So your first paragraph, you were establishing the setting and weather, what's going on around the image? The reason why I'm saying around the image is you're likely gonna get an image question for descriptive writing, right? So going back to one of the examples in terms of what's going on around the image, so let's look at this November, 2017. No, no, no, so that's actually a story. So let's look at the June, 2018 paper, okay? Now when you go to the image itself, you start off with in descriptive writing, what's going on around? As we can see here in this image is quite dark. So we can imagine that he's either outside in darkness or my suggestion would be maybe he's inside, perhaps in a care home. So you talk about the setting and the weather. It's the setting is maybe a care home or it can be outside. The weather is quite cold, quite gloomy, right? Then the second paragraph for descriptive writing because we know very likely it's gonna be an image. You then take it one step in, consider the atmosphere and mood, right? So here I would say with this image, he seems quite lonely, quite, and not even him, right? The place even that he's sitting, he doesn't seem to have anybody, no companion. So the atmosphere and mood will be quite sad, quite melancholic. That's your second paragraph for descriptive writing. Your third paragraph for descriptive writing would be now your central focus. Central focus is paragraph number three, the most obvious thing within the image, which is obviously the man's weathered face, his eyes, his beard, et cetera, et cetera. Then you move on to feelings and hair. I would specifically focus on, unlike atmosphere and mood where you're thinking about, generally it's quite an isolated atmosphere. It's quite an isolating mood. The feelings paragraph, I would focus on what do the people or the things in your central focus, what do they feel? I would say here he seems quite alone. He seems quite expectant maybe, right? So he's alone. Think about a lot of old people in old people's nursing homes, sometimes they're not visited. And maybe he's looking at a chunk of light, kind of watching and waiting, he's expectant. He's hoping something exciting might happen in what might be a very kind of same day, a same atmosphere. The final paragraph for the image would be the slight change. So for instance, as I mentioned, there seems to be some light, maybe the light goes away. My suggestion, don't write, okay, so first person, that would be my suggestion, writing in first person or third person if it works, right? So for instance, if you ask a descriptive question relating to write a description of a beautiful place, I would suggest maybe writing that in third person perspective. You can't write in second person perspective because second person is you. You use second person for recipes, instruction manual. So you either have the option of first person, which is I, third person, which is he. My favorite would be first person. However, sometimes you might be asked to describe like a setting, a location or something where it's kind of awkward to use first person and you're more generally describing what's going on in the setting, right? Like talking about an island or a volcano or just a really busy street, okay? But you can still also obviously do that with first person, right? In terms of, so let's have a look of someone else. Can you describe them in third person? Yeah, so if, okay, so if the picture again, okay, going back to this, in terms of if the picture is about somebody else, if it's about this man, yes, you can describe it in third person. The man looked up at the chink of light, right? He, his chest heaved up and down. His checkered shirt, glimmered or something. So that you can definitely write in third person if you prefer writing in third person, okay? In terms of better or worse, I wouldn't suggest there's any better or worse way for first person or third person. I think first person just gives you, especially if you embody yourself as that person, it gives you scope to maybe kind of put yourself and characterize yourself as if you were that person, right? So you have a bit more to work with. However, there's no, the examiner wouldn't read this and say, oh, it's written in third person, therefore it's rubbish, right? I think it's more, what do you feel more confident and comfortable with writing? Again, unbiased, I think first person narrative with a few exceptions is perhaps more straightforward than third person narrative. Definitely for stories, but also for descriptive writing, okay? So guys, I think it doesn't seem like there seems to be any other questions relating to descriptive writing. However, what I wanted to do, given that question number five is fairly challenging, is I'm gonna end before I finish with going over maybe what you should anticipate with the creative and or descriptive writing and what you should try to practice for when it comes to practicing question number five, right? The pathmark paper. I think when it comes to the storming question five, yes, okay? So when it comes to what to write about, okay, for question number five, I think in fact, I'm gonna rub out a little bit of the bottom, just to kind of bullet point what you can consider for question number five. So for question number five, I think the best way to prepare for this question is to write according to different settings and different scenarios, right? So love and relationships poetry will be on the way. I think love and relationships, okay, I'll re-upload them, okay? Anyway, going back to question number five. So Q five, what I would suggest anticipating and practicing for are the following settings, okay? So make sure you write something to do with city landscape. I would suggest also writing something based on an island something related to mountain setting, island and beach, mountain forest. Also, you should try and write for something relating to the interior of a house, mansion, or castle. I think also question number five could be perhaps a wintry, so also considering summer, the different seasons, base some stories on the different seasons. So you've got summer setting, autumn, wintry setting, and spring. And finally, I think the other thing that's occurred to me is also a terrifying or dark story, okay? So I think if you write, if you try to aim to go for either descriptive writing or creative writing based on and using descriptions and trying to develop descriptions based on city, island, mountain, forest, interior of a place, right? So going back to, for example, the old man, he was in the interior of what seemed like an old person's house, but also perhaps considering the interior of like a cottage, considering the interior of just some regular house. Seasons, also writing something that's set in the summer. This one you can kind of kill two birds with one stone. You can talk about island in the summer. You can talk about maybe a mountain setting in the winter, right? Or the autumn. You can also do a spring setting. And finally, I think writing about something that's quite terrifying with like, I guess like a scary angle is probably good practice as well, okay? I think in terms of what's easier guys, okay? So description or storytelling, I would suggest story is maybe more straightforward because descriptive writing is very static. And I think with descriptive writing, once you've kind of maybe maxed out some of your descriptions, if you haven't practiced enough, you can kind of get caught short. Well, story, you have a bit of breathing room, but you still need to use a lot of ambitious, descriptive language and descriptive vocabulary, okay? So I would suggest practicing descriptive writing a lot, but equally doing storytelling, but incorporating descriptive elements, okay? In other words, doing only storytelling, what that means is a lot of people tend to just focus on action, loads of action, and not enough depth in the descriptions. Whilst when you do story, or whilst when you do descriptive practice, you're describing something in lots of depth, meaning if you did get a story based on something you've already written a descriptive paragraph on, all you just need to do is just add characters, but then you still have all the rich language that you've developed from your descriptive practice. I hope that makes sense, right? So my suggestion is, story tends to be more straightforward. However, if you only practice stories, you run the risk of only focusing on just listing lots of different events. This event happened, and this event happened, this event, and so on, right? Whilst, and that can be quite tempting. Whilst I think with descriptive writing, it makes you slow down and think about, for example, the sky, think about how you can describe the sky, the turquoise sky in three to four lines, right? Or how you can describe, you know, a really noisy place, like a noisy, busy city, in three to four lines. Again, what descriptive writing does, which I would suggest doing a lot of practice on in the run-up to the exams, try to do as much descriptive writing as you can in order to develop and to think about all this extra rich vocabulary. How else can I pad out my descriptions, right? Meaning when then you do a story question, it's actually fairly straightforward. If it's a story that you've done already a descriptive writing question on, so a story set on an island, where you've done lots of descriptive writing for island, you actually have a lot of vocabulary you can use. All you just need to do is just add a character, okay? So these points are only for stories. In terms of, no, so these points are for stories, however, they're also for descriptive writing, okay? So my suggestion is try to make your revision, descriptive writing heavy, okay? So for instance, when you're doing city, island, mountain, forest, interior, season, something that's set into summer, winter, whatever, I would suggest trying to do like a descriptive based writing for them, meaning when you then do like a story based on a forest who already have lots of rich vocabulary and language that you can use, okay? So it kind of still fits for both, all right? So yes, I'll move away. I don't know if you can see, so this is just timings, exam structure, exam framework, and then that's, the only thing I robbed out for question number five was just the, I guess the structure of a story mountain versus a descriptive writing, okay? But your series of concentric circles, right? So guys, in terms of vocabulary ideas, okay? So this might be a little bit late in the day, but one place that's really good for vocabulary when it comes to either creative or storytelling is something called a descriptosaurus. I don't know if you guys have heard of this, maybe you've heard of it when you were like, maybe in year six, year seven, but it has, it's like basically a thesaurus of really good language and phrases that you can use for either creative or descriptive writing. The only thing is it's fairly thick, right? So it's fairly detailed. I think what I would suggest maybe is reading also short stories as well. So if you can get a descriptosaurus, and just if your parents have like an Amazon account, just order this descriptosaurus. This is gonna help a lot with the creative and descriptive writing phrases. However, if that's too daunting, maybe read short stories such as one story that I absolutely love recommending. It's called The Old Man and the Sea Button. It's Hemingway. It's only 90 pages long. It's a very brief book, okay? I think I even have it here. It's very good in terms of showing how to write a story that's complex but in a really simple, straightforward way. There's also got some really good language and vocabulary. I think reading just short stories and kind of using that to kind of get your mind ticking, that's also a really good approach, okay? However, if you just wanna go just for phrases, really good phrases for different settings, the descriptosaurus is definitely one which I'll suggest getting. The only thing is it's literally like 200 pages. It's like a fairly thick book, right? So definitely, I tend to suggest this like year 10 students when you have a little bit more time. However, if it's not too daunting, I would suggest just getting a copy and then kind of when you're doing like each setting question, city, island, mountain, you just turn to the part in the descriptosaurus that uses that and then you find some good phrases, okay? And obviously, again, I'm gonna follow up with another live where maybe you might be on TikTok where I do like a bunch of descriptive and creative story writing. What I just wanted to do in this live will just kind of take a step back and think about, okay, what are the trends what's going on? But in my live, I'm also gonna do like more creative writing practice where we look at, I had some suggestions which I wanna work through, right? So I'm gonna kind of work through that as well, okay? So let's have a look. Okay, so guys, book's name on the board is just called The Old Man and The Sea. That's the book, okay? And it's only about 90 pages long. It's very good. And it has some really good vocabulary and language that you can use. And also it's only like half of an A4 side of paper, right? It's a really short book, but it's very, very good in terms of how to develop a story and just how to write in an immersive way, okay? The other one, which I would suggest, however, this one is a bit more detailed and I think maybe it can be a bit daunting to get through is a descriptosaurus, like a thesaurus, but it's a book filled with phrases to use for creative or descriptive writing, okay? So I'm not sure about reading the whole thesaurus. I would suggest maybe instead of reading the whole thesaurus just literally practice questions, okay? So just download these papers that we went over and then practice those questions. And also, as I mentioned, so tomorrow I'm gonna be on live on TikTok, going over I think two creative and descriptive writing questions. Also just join into that live and then you can just kind of see like a model answer, which I'm also gonna post up onto YouTube, okay? Something similar to thesaurus. I'm not sure. I think that one you'd have to check, okay? So in terms of descriptive writing, okay, guys, just to quickly recap on timings, okay? Cause I think there's a few of you guys that are asking about timings, okay? So in terms of timing, spend the first 10 minutes of the exam, reading through the question paper first, question one, two, three, four and five, highlighting the keywords, then, you know, that should take you maybe a minute, two minutes max. And the remaining eight minutes, highlighting and reading through the insert, okay? That's how to spend the first 10 minutes of the one hour 45 minutes for question number one for paper one. Question number one, which is worth four marks, spend five minutes max. Question number two, which is worth eight marks, spend 10 minutes max on question number two, writing two-pill paragraphs, question number three, which is worth eight marks, also spend 10 minutes max writing two-pill paragraphs, then question number four, spend around 20 minutes. If you have a bit of time left over from question number one, the five minutes, add that to question number four. Spend 20 minutes on this question, and introduction for Peel, Paragot and Inclusion. And then question number five, allocate 50 minutes to this question, pick the creative or descriptive writing, and then go over that. Okay. In terms of the order to do the questions, I know some people struggle with time management and time keeping. If you are not very disciplined, because what I was going to suggest is you can just work through the questions chronologically, because I find sometimes kind of working backwards and forwards can be a little bit tricky. However, if you find that you will probably spend too long on question two, three and four, work backwards to start with the creative writing, then literally then go to section A, start with question number four, then three, then two. However, my suggestion and why I suggest to maybe work through chronologically, but as you are now practicing for the exam, be really strict. So have a watch or have even like a stop timer. Don't use your phone, don't use your stop timer phone, because you're just going to find that you're going to get distracted and then just check your phone. Try to get up to stop timer. So stop time is like two quid, right? You can ask your mum or dad to get you one. And then literally be super strict to yourself. So start the timer at the, you know, when you start the exam, give yourself 10 minutes and then the timer should go off within the first 10 minutes and then check. Okay. Have I read all the questions and highlighted them, but also have I read the insert? Have I picked up? Have I sped read the insert? Okay. Speed reading is also really important. Don't read, when you're reading paper one, when you're going over this insert, don't pick out every single word. That's actually why I suggest going over the questions first. Another, that's another thing people make a mistake with, right? They look at the insert. So this is the Mr. Fisher paper. They look at the insert and they're literally highlighting every single word and then going back over paragraphs and going, Oh no, I really need to understand this. And then that takes them just reading the insert. They take 20 minutes. That's way too long. You should spend eight to 10 minutes on reading this. To be honest, it should be like eight minutes. Okay. And again, the more you practice these papers, all of these papers for AQA are available to download. Okay. You can download them and practice them yourself. The more you practice them, the more you practice speed reading, right? And also the reason why I will suggest reading through the question paper first, right? So highlighting the keywords in, you know, question one, two, three, and four. It means when you're now reading the insert, you're looking for your answers. You're not reading for the fun of reading. You're reading to pick out the answers and then go and answer the question, pick out the answers, go and answer the question. Okay. That process should become much faster. People who can write faster and you can speed read are the ones who tend to fare really well when it comes to English exams. But people, anybody can pick up these skills. Okay. It's just to do with lots and lots of practicing and lots and lots of writing. Okay. There's no kind of shortcut. You kind of have to do it. All right. So literature memorizing quotes and poems. Oh, in terms of literature memorizing quotes and poems, in terms of quote banks, try to create like a quote bank for a character based quote bank. Because if you do theme-based quote banks, let's say for Macbeth or Remy and Juliet themes, you might find one character maybe captures lots of the, you know, captures most of the quotes in the themes, right? I will suggest doing five quotes per character. Okay. And again, go on TikTok, find like the, I think I've done like my maps of like Christmas Carol, Jeff Gornhide, then you can just kind of copy that. Okay. So question number five, marks for spag. Yes, it does guys. Okay. By the way, yeah. So 16 marks. So content and organization is 24 marks. And then technical accuracy in question number five. This also means not only does, you know, how does your story flow? Does it make sense or how to do a descriptive writing flow? Does it make sense? But equally, is it grammatically accurate? Are you able to spell correctly? Are you able to show a good understanding of how to structure your sentences and grammatically structure them? Okay. Yes, I'll try and slow down a little bit. Okay. So guys, in terms of the different punctuations, roughly how many different punctuation things should we do? I'm not sure I understand that question. Okay. So I'm not entirely sure I understand that question. Let's have a look if there's any other questions that you might have things to include, how to recognize them. Yes. So in terms of things to include in question number four, all right. So guys, I'm going to go over and I'm going to quickly recap how to, I'm going to run down. I think you guys have suggested that I quickly run through how to approach each question. Right. Yes. I'll reupload the love and relationship poetry stuff. Okay. Anyway, so guys, um, let's quickly run through what you should consider for questions one, two, three, four, and five. Okay. I did this at the beginning of the live, but I'm going to kind of run through it once more. Okay. So, um, dialogue in the story, guys. Um, okay. Question number five, quickly before I do the one down question number five, dialogue, add it only if it's absolutely necessary stuff like dialogues and exclamation marks, add them only if they are absolutely necessary for stories. Descriptive writing, there's no dialogue. Okay. So descriptive writing, no dialogue. Dialogue, use them very sparingly. One maximum, two bits of, you know, somebody saying something and someone responding because dialogue doesn't really add that much depth to your story. And people sometimes use dialogue, just lots of characters saying back and forth, almost as a way to, um, kind of, uh, finesse the story a little bit. Okay. Almost to kind of make the story seem to be padded out, but dialogue doesn't add that much. Okay. Try to rely more on the descriptive element of your story. So be really careful with including stuff like dialogue, things like, um, exclamatory sentences, like exclamation marks, be very sparing of that. Personally, I would suggest if you can avoid dialogue unless absolutely necessary and unless it adds something to your story. And if it does one bit of dialogue, maximum two, don't have loads and loads of dialogue, please, because it actually takes away from the story and it doesn't add any depth. And sometimes when the examiner is reading it, they can kind of tell that you run out of things to write about. So they'll be like, Oh, now they're using dialogue to just kind of pad out this story. It's not going anywhere. Okay. Um, so, um, guys, I'm going to quickly go over, um, so do you have, you spent so much time revising, I'm still petrified of the exam. Don't be scared of the exam guys. Okay. Simultaneously. So, um, how to use the word simultaneous in a sentence. The author simultaneously uses a simile as well as simultaneously means at the same time. The author simultaneously presents this character and this character as, um, so at the same time, or especially in your explanation when you pick out techniques. So let's say for question number two, the language question. Um, the author, you've picked out a bit of evidence, right? So this is question number two. This is the one where you've got, uh, the little box in front of you. Let me find it. So for question number two, you've got this little box, right? This is the, I believe this is the Mr. Fisher paper and you asked how the white users, um, language conveying Mr. Fisher's views on books and stories of the past. You've picked out an example, right? Um, books that are golden, um, when the world. So you've got imagery and you've also got alliteration. How to use simultaneous is you can say the author uses imagery. Um, the author simultaneously uses imagery and alliteration to convey X, Y, Z. And this is part of your explanation. So the author simultaneously uses imagery, talking about books being golden as well as, um, alliteration. So they simultaneously use it to convey Mr. Fisher's views on how amazing books of the past were. Okay. Um, so guys, uh, different types of punctuation we should use roughly. I don't think I understand the punctuation question. I sure I really don't think I understand that. So in terms of different types of punctuation, um, I don't, I don't know what you mean by that. Okay. Scruffy handwriting, as long as your handwriting is legible, you're not going to get lower marks. Just make sure you try to, because even my handwriting when I'm rushing kind of gets a bit scruffy, but you're not going to, as long as it's legible, if it's not legible, you get marked down. Okay. Um, and, um, okay. So guys, what I'm going to do is, um, so they say don't be very repetitive and vary your punctuation. Do you mean don't be repetitive using the same thing that the author shows the author shows? So you say, for instance, the author illustrates X, Y, Z, or the author reveals blah, blah, blah. Um, yes, definitely vary that in terms of punctuation. I think maybe what you mean by that is it to do with, um, let's say for question number five, when you're mixing your sentence length, so you have slightly longer sentences versus shorter sentences to change the pace of your writing. I think if that's what you're asking about, so let's say for question number five, either creative or descriptive writing, yes, you need to vary your sentence lengths. Okay. To change the pace of your writing. So that's, I think that's what you mean. And also sometimes you can include ellipses. Okay. Not too much ellipses, but to show, for instance, um, the, the character internally, so if you're speaking from first person perspective, they are trailing off a little bit. Yes, you can use ellipses. Okay. Um, no, I'm not an examiner guys. Okay. Um, so what I'm going to do guys before I wrap up today's live. Okay. Because I don't think there's that many other question. Um, by the way, people with English as a second language can definitely do this. It's just practice more. Okay. It's just a little bit harder. Um, so in terms of, um, questions, a question for, so let's go over the framework for question one, two, three, and four. I think for question number four, what's challenging is that there's a few things you need to include. You need to include an awareness of how when you are responding to the student statement and agreeing because the student statement tends to agree with what's going on in the text. You are mixing language points and structure points in your response. Let's quickly go back over this. Okay. Cause we've gone over this already, but I'm going to go back over it. In terms of the framework to adopt for your answer, as I mentioned, question number one, really straightforward. Just make sure you don't write one word responses. Okay. Keep it brief, but write in full sentences. That's question number one. Okay. Now with question number two, you're going for two, pure paragraphs using keywords from the question. And this is the language question. How to start your first pure paragraph or question number two is firstly, the writer powerfully uses, then you talk about, you know, the first technique or, you know, how does the writer, let's go back to how they convey Mr. Fisher's views on books and stories of the past. So the writer powerfully uses a simile to convey Mr. Fisher's optimistic views on the stories of the past. That's how you open your first pure paragraph. Your second pure paragraph for question number two, you could open by saying additionally, moreover, the writer effectively employs instead of powerfully uses, effectively employs to vary your words. And then you develop from the keywords in the question. That's for question number two. Then question number three, which is the structure question, how you open. So your first pure paragraph, because in question number three, do two pure points, how to open the first pure paragraph, which I would suggest contrasting what's going on at the beginning versus what's going on at the end. Okay. You can open by stating the author opens the extract by illustrating pick something from the beginning. Then in the same pure paragraph and the point you would then say, however, they end by and then talk about what's going on at the end. That's your first pure paragraph for question number three. Your second pure paragraph can simply begin by borrowing what you have written in question number two. So this is going to be obviously your second pure paragraph, but you'd say, secondly, the writer powerfully uses, then think of another structural feature. Okay. Now with question number four, let's go over how to structure that question. As I mentioned with question number four, which is a student statement, write an introduction where you show that you agree with what the students said. So the writer effectively does keywords from the student statement and they use this and they present it through using language and structure techniques because you're going to have to use a mix of both language and structure to justify your response. Okay. So you begin with an introduction and this is how you can begin your introduction for question number four. The author has successfully keywords from the student statement and they use a range of language and structure techniques to illustrate blah, blah, blah. That's how you open your introduction for question number four. As I mentioned, then you move on to write four pure paragraphs and they must be a mix of language and structure techniques. You then begin your first pure paragraph for question number four by stating again, going back to kind of similar wording to question number two. Firstly, the author powerfully uses, then you develop your first pure paragraph for question number four. Your second pure paragraph would be secondly, or additionally, the author vividly employs, then you write your second pure paragraph for question number four. Your third pure paragraph would be thirdly, moreover, additionally, the author effectively employs or the author effectively uses. And then you develop that third paragraph in your fourth and final pure paragraph would be finally, the author employs blah, blah, blah to show whatever keywords from the question. Now remember, I would suggest for question number four, because you have to mix it with language and structure, have two pure paragraphs in question number four, addressing language points, nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, similes, alliteration, metaphors, even things like juxtaposition, that's your language stuff that would go into your two pure paragraphs. But also don't forget you need to also convey how the student's statement is illustrated through structural techniques in question number four. Using repetition, listing, so you could say, you know, the author uses repetition or the author uses a simple compound or complex sentence, declarative sentence as well, and you do that for two pure paragraphs. Okay, so you have your introduction, your first pure paragraph could be to do with language technique. Your second pure paragraph can be structure, third pure paragraph language, fourth pure paragraph structure, and then your conclusion. And this is how you conclude. In conclusion, the author has effectively whatever keywords from the question. Okay, so guys, I hope I've kind of clarified how to approach question number four. And as I mentioned, we went into lots of detail when it came to question number five, you always get an image or a statement question. And what we found when we looked at all the past papers for AQA is in the June exam, the summer exams, you will tend to get the image for descriptive writing. Remember, when you're structuring descriptive writing, it's just five paragraphs using this kind of circular structure. You start off with your setting and whether paragraph or paragraph number one, descriptive writing, you move on to your atmosphere and read paragraph paragraph number two, central focus paragraph number three, feelings paragraph number four and slight change paragraph number five, that's descriptive writing. However, we also noticed in the June exam so far, the story will be the statement. So I would suggest using the story mountain five paragraphs starting off with the beginning, build up problem resolution and ending. Okay, so that's the framework to adopt, when now you're practicing these past papers and getting yourself ready for the language paper one exam on the 18th of May. Okay, so let's have a look. So language everyone is in that hard, it's just unseen poems. So guys, let's have a look. So in terms of advice and English language, guys, okay, so the first thing to do is, if you're not sure how to address some of the questions, look at some of my previous lives that I've posted on the channel in terms of answering like the 2020 paper or whatever. However, tomorrow guys, if you're on TikTok, come to the Twitter, Twitter, TikTok channel, I'll be doing a bunch of creative and descriptive writing questions. Okay, this is actually based on suggestions for people who were on my live yesterday who were saying basically, do some of these settings, right, city, island, mountain, forest, interior, seasons and so on. Okay, so also that will also help. But guys, remember, these lives and you know, watching this stuff doesn't substitute your actual practice. So try as much as you can to really practice these questions. Okay, I will suggest practicing like aiming to do a minimum of two language paper, one exams, if you can daily. Okay, so really, and now be super strict with yourself on timings. Okay. So let analysis analysis in terms of how to improve analysis when you're answering a question, have language and structure stuff. When you sit down, if you think that you're in danger of forgetting the language and structure techniques, list them down, list simile, alliteration, essence, whatever. And also sentence types, declarative, blah, blah, blah. Now when you're reading, then you find you literally look for, okay, here's an alliteration example. Here's a declarative sentence. Here's an imperative sentence. Then when you then take a step back and you're answering either question two, three or four, you then say, okay, I picked this declarative sentence out for a reason. What does this show? Right. That's now you're going into analysis. Okay. But before you go into analysis, remember a language and structure. List it down. If you forget, if you're, if you're in danger of forgetting at the beginning of your exam, just list down, okay, here's some language techniques, simile, alliteration, assonance, or onomatopoeia, structure on one side, repetition, listing blah, blah, blah. And then when you're reading, underline them. Here's listing, here's alliteration, here's simile. Then when you then dive into question number two, you've kind of done 50% of the analysis work. You've already picked out the technique. Then you just ask yourself, okay, I picked out this technique. Why does I pick it out? That's now part of the analysis and perception. Okay. Rather than reading the question, then going back over and looking for the quote and then trying to figure out, okay, what technique does this, now that's when it becomes really difficult to do analysis. Okay. So yes, for edXcel, as I was mentioning, I think I might do an edXcel live on Saturday, but I'm not sure. So guys, in terms of, so interior, yeah, interior basically means the inside. Interior is, for example, when you think about the old man staring into the camera, that's maybe he's like in a nursing home. Interior can also be, for instance, if you're writing a story based on you going to a cottage, your grandmother's house, your own house you woke up in, that's also interior setting. Okay. So let's see if they, thank you Aisha, thank you. So let's see if there's any questions. Guys, this live isn't pre-reported, however, I will make sure I save it after finished streaming. Okay. So guys, I think that's really it for today's live because I thought I'd probably be yapping on, but I think I've kind of covered all the basics in terms of taking a step back. I'm going to figure out how to do like an actual live lesson where I'm doing like model answers kind of TikTok style. I think I might try and use my phone. I know some people have kind of complained in the comments with the lives that I've reposted on YouTube that it's not that legible or visible. So I'm just kind of trying to figure out how I can do that. Okay. Exterior is the outside part. Yes, exterior, all of this is exterior. When you're talking about city, island, mountain, forest, that's all exterior. Okay. Interior would be, for example, if you're talking about a haunted mansion, when you're entering, how is it like? Are the floors creaky? Are the doors rickety? Do they make noises and swing back and forth? That's interior. Okay. So let's have a look if there's any other questions. Question number three guys is, I wouldn't say it's hard. Okay. Again, practice. All right. And if you're not sure how to approach it, literally look at one of the lives that I've posted. Look at just the question three part. Right. And then replicate that in your answers and then practice more question number threes. In fact, if I'm being really honest, I think language paper one, if with enough practice, and we now know the trend, especially for question number five, this is the 40 marker. So we know that the descriptive question will be the image and we know very likely that the story will be just the statement. Now go off and practice that and practice according to these different settings. And if you're not sure, then just look back at some of the lives that I did, right? Just the question number five, that we use secure at least half of the paper's marks. Question number one, which is why four marks, that's easy. Just make sure you don't mess it up by writing one word answers. Question number two, the language one, I will say that's really straightforward. Question number three and four are a bit more wordy, but this one is now a question of just increasing your speed writing. But guys, genuinely, I think language paper one, if you just practice, and if you're not sure, especially if you're coming up short on ideas, just join like some of the TikTok lives. As I mentioned, tomorrow I'm going to be on TikTok. And I'll be doing a live looking at creative, like a bunch of creative writing and descriptive writing questions. Literally, if you do that, and you're consistent with it, be super, super regimented and rigid in your routine. Language paper one, you should be kind of finding it a little bit more straightforward. I think language paper two, there's a lot more to work with. So I think that one would be maybe more challenging. So let's have a look if there's any other questions. Should we have these talk about sentence types? For question number three, for your first paragraph, your first kill point for paragraph number three, for question number three, the structure question. Just suppose beginning versus end, meaning you don't have to talk about sentence types because you're already talking about structure. How does it start? How does it end? Your second paragraph, you can make it a sentence one. Or to make it easier, you can also make it about repetition. You can find like a word that's repeated or listing. That can also work. And live tomorrow, by the way, on TikTok is going to be from 645. So from 645. So yeah, I could do a TikTok post wishing you guys good luck. Right, so guys, I think those are the main questions. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to save this live stream. And then as I mentioned, this stream was focusing on just taking the step back and considering, okay, what's going on here? What's going on in terms of what I can anticipate for language paper one, but also how, what are the trends to consider, especially with question number five with all the AQA papers. So tomorrow, live on language paper one, especially creative and descriptive writing starts from 645. I'm going to try and figure out how I can do a live for answering a live model answer on YouTube, because that's what I've really been struggling with, to be honest. That's why it's taking me such a long time to do a live on YouTube, okay? But let me see if there's any other questions in terms of sentence forms, declarative sentence, yes. Okay, so declarative sentence is the one which I would definitely say go for. However, you can also have an imperative sentence, a sentence that issues a command, rhetorical question, that's a good one. Simple sentence, a sentence that just has a subject of an object, majority of really long sentences in terms of just the structure of complex sentences, okay? But I would say if you struggle with identifying sentences, declarative should just be your go to, especially for question number three, okay? And does question five give more marks? Yeah, question one worth four marks, question number two worth eight marks, question three worth eight marks, question four worth 20 marks, question number five worth 40 marks, okay? So yes, question number five is worth half of the overall paper's marks. That's why you need to spend 50 minutes on it, okay? Vocabulary, as I mentioned, a good way to do it if you are short on time, which you are, is read Ernest Hemingway's Old Man and Fish, Old Man and the Sea, which is this book. However, there is a really good vocabulary book that I tend to recommend to like year 10s. It's called Descriptosaurus, it's like a different dictionary slash thesaurus, according to different settings, but it's fairly heavy. And I'm not sure if it's going to be a bit too daunting if you've got your exams in just a few days time. So I think that one, in terms of vocabulary, literally just join my lives and then you can kind of see some vocabulary and pick those up and then use them in your writing, okay? And change the simple words to advanced words and compare, yeah, I agree. And then what's the percentage of this test paper for your actual grade? You're going to be sitting two language paper exams, each of which are worth 50% of the English language GCSE. Some of you guys might just do just the English language GCSE, meaning that's 50% of your overall GCSE. Obviously, if you're doing English language and literature, that's a language paper one is worth a quarter of your overall marks, but you do need to get a certain grade, especially if you want to go on to sixth form and definitely university. I think the minimum grade you need to get overall for English is grade five, if you're going to, if you wanted to go like to get student finance and stuff like that. So it's really important. Better to do, I've gotten this question before. I would say practice descriptive writing, but story or description, I wouldn't want to say like pick one or the other. I think descriptive writing practice is better because it forces you to develop your vocabulary and to go into depth in your writing. So that's why I would say it's better to practice that, but story is good in the sense that if you do enough descriptive writing, you've developed your vocabulary and then you've got a good story question on a descriptive writing you've done safe on the island, then actually it's just easy because you just add in one extra character. I think if you over practice story, you then focus on just adding lots of action and it's very weak in terms of vocabulary and in terms of descriptions. But the personifying clouds has been pregnant. What do you mean? Oh, when clouds are, so this is for the live that I did. Oh, when clouds seem pregnant, so for example, right now I'm looking outside, it seems almost like it's about to rain. So the clouds seem pregnant with rain. They seem like they're literally about to give birth to rain to make, to have like showers falling, rainfall, right? And again, that's personifying the clouds as pregnant women, okay? Snowy wintery day or pop or turns? Okay, yes, I guess so. So I've got like loads of descriptive and creative writing requests, which I'm kind of sifting through, okay? Question five, paper one, practice, practice, practice and join tomorrow's live. I'm going to go over and just read through different examples that we've gone over, okay? So I've done like a bunch of lives on city landscape, forest, mountains, look at those and then just kind of pick the phrases and then use it in your own practice. But guys, nothing replaces practicing the exam. Like you have to practice, okay? Just watching this isn't enough practice. You need to now implement the practice, okay? And so let's have a look. So guys, I think what I'm going to do now is I'm going to wrap up. Thunder is, oh, the thunderstorms. You can talk about the tempestuous thunderstorms. Tempestuous means like violent, angry, unpredictable, they raged and raged on, they boomed and roared. That's good descriptions for thunder, okay? Five and biggest words for each season. I'm not sure about their biggest words, guys, okay? Yeah, in terms of paper one, question two, go on TikTok. There's a playlist for English language, paper one. There's a bunch of stuff like you can use, okay? And also actually in terms of ambitious language, guys, on TikTok, I've got like a playlist on like really clever words. Go find some really good clever words and kind of use them, all right? So guys, in terms of this live, I'm going to wrap up. And tomorrow, as I mentioned, we're going to go over descriptive and creative writing, but on TikTok, okay? So TikTok live is going to start from 6.45pm. And we're going to kind of go over it and discuss, I guess, other examples of descriptive and creative writing that you can include, okay? And also watch the lives that I've reposted off TikTok on this, okay? And then as I mentioned, I'm trying to figure out how to do like the model answer format where I'm just kind of answering on YouTube, but I'll figure that out soon, okay? So guys, yes, I'll do that on YouTube. I think I might do it. I might just use my phone. It's just, I don't know whether it's going to be clear because I think that's the main complaint I've been getting when I've been reposting the TikToks onto YouTube. Like some people don't find it easy to see the writing, so I'm not entirely sure. But guys, in terms of, oh, and English, definitely we're going to go over that, but from next week after the 18th, okay? Guys, I'm going to end the live stream. Thank you so much for joining. For those of you that have joined. And as I mentioned, tomorrow's live, we're going to be looking at question number five, okay? The 40 marker from 45 TikTok, okay? So head over there and then try not to write a story beforehand and then just memorize it and use it and tweak it. That's not, you're still going to spend a lot of time memorizing these stories. That time you'd spend memorizing the same story, which you're then going to use question number five, regardless of the question. That time could have been spent practicing lots of different questions, okay? Try not to take the memorization route, okay? You're welcome, guys. You're welcome. So guys, also this one, I'm pretty sure once my computer kind of buffers it or whatever, I'm going to obviously repost it onto YouTube, okay? So then for those of you that missed it, you can kind of watch it afterwards, okay? But anyway, guys, thank you so much for joining. And I hope you found this useful in terms of getting, like, a general overview of what to expect for English language paper one. Guys, literally go off now and just revise, okay? The more you revise, the faster you're going to get a speed reading, the faster you're going to get a speed writing, okay? Try your best to do revision. Don't just see this as a substitute and be like, okay, now I've revised. Try to actually write out your responses, okay? AQA's website has a bunch of pass papers you can practice. So let's you download them, practice them, and do as much as you can, okay? So guys, I'm going to head off, okay? And I will resume tomorrow from 6.45 on, so what should you do if you don't understand all the words in the insert? In terms of not understanding all the words in the insert, that's truly normal. Infer, look at the words that come before the word that you don't understand, and then the words that come after. Infer, what it might mean. But also, just don't use that particular sentence in your evidence when you're, like, quoting and writing about it. So infer for yourself, I think this is what this word means. However, then you take a step back and think, okay, this is what the passage means. But when you're then writing question two, three, or four, just avoid that sentence entirely. Don't use it, okay? Don't get too fixated on the words that you don't understand within an insert. Just look, firstly, figure out and infer, okay, the words that come before the word you don't understand and the words that come after. Roughly, what does this sentence mean? But also, when I take a step back from the article itself, so from the story, what is the story talking about? Then when you're answering question two, three, and four, avoid quoting that particular part of the insert, okay? Honestly, don't panic. Guys, when you see words that you don't understand and it's not part of the glossary, don't panic. Just kind of infer and then just use other stuff, okay? Don't get fixated. Where people go wrong is they get fixated and just focus on what they don't understand, rather than thinking about the rest of the insert that they perfectly understand, okay? That's what I would suggest, okay? So descriptive writing, in terms of grade nine descriptive writing, it has to be super, super in depth, okay? This is, to be honest, the same as creative writing. It has to be rich vocabulary, rich language, lots of alliteration similes and stuff like that, okay? And also very sentence lengths, okay? So you've got short sentences versus longer sentences, okay? So in terms of, I don't think I understand that question. Oh, thank you, Zayn. Thank you so much. Okay, guys, I can see Edexcel on caps. I'm going to try and do a live maybe on Saturday, maybe Monday, okay? I'll announce it because I know Edexcel peeps have been asking for it. Maybe on TikTok. I might do a TikTok on Edexcel. I'll figure it out, okay? But guys, narrative writing tomorrow, okay? Descriptive, creative, tomorrow from 6.45, okay? I feel like I've said that too many times. So guys, I'm going to end today's live, and then I'm going to obviously repost this on YouTube. And then tomorrow, head over to TikTok, first-rate tutors, and the live will start from 6.45, looking exclusively at question number five, okay? Macbeth, yes, literature practice is going to be from the 18th, okay? So from the 18th, we're going to do literature practice, okay? Yes, archive. I don't know about archive, but it's going to be reposted. So this live is definitely going to get reposted, and it's going to live on the channel, okay? So guys, thank you so much. I will head off. And I can definitely do English language questions three and four, maybe also next Monday, okay? Anyway, guys, after this at 6 p.m., no, today TikTok lives will not be starting. I won't be doing TikTok live today, but tomorrow, tomorrow. And then TikTok lives next week are going to be super, super, super consistent, okay? I'll be super consistent with TikTok. I know I missed Monday and people are asking and, you know, I'll be like super consistent guys, okay? So guys, I'm going to head off in terms of, okay, English at last question. This is going to be the last response, okay? Because I do need to head off. English literature. Firstly, with English literature, the challenge with it, this is why I feel language paper one and paper two is actually one of the easier papers to pass because there is no revision in advance, apart from practicing. There's no extract you're expected to know inside out. Literature is the opposite. Literature, you need to know loads about the passages, lots of context, characters, maybe poems and so on. What you need to first do is create mind map revisions for all the different literary areas that you're looking at. If you're doing Macbeth, do a mind map based on characters, plot and so on. By the way, guys, if you're doing Macbeth, Romain Juliet, Christmas Carol, Jacqueline Hyde, I've literally done mind maps, which you can just download in TikTok, just copy them, okay? Then memorize them. That's the first thing. Once you do that with English literature, which I think in my personal opinion, I think it's a harder exam to pass, okay? Because English literature, there's so many shifting parts. You might get a character or a theme question. It might be on a chapter or a poem. You kind of went over, but you low key didn't, right? So for example, power and conflicts, people, tissue might come up, right? The much hated poem might come up. Now, what you need to do in order to cover your back is firstly, create a mind map. Once you've done that mind map, you know, laying out, okay, these are all the different literary areas, and this is a mind map covering plots, character, theme, context. You then download all the literature past papers and answer the questions, okay? So if it's like a book, answer the character questions, but equally answer the theme questions. If it's a poetry, of course, it's going to be exclusively themes and poems related, okay? I think English literature is definitely harder to remember, and there's just so much pressure on your memory. The memory that you don't really have to use for language. Language is just remembering this stuff and remembering technique. For language paper one and paper two, it's this and technique, okay? And I'm going to do a live on language paper two, especially for question number five, looking at article, but I think I might do afterwards, like a live, maybe once these exams are over, definitely for speeches, letters for year 10s and year 9s, okay? Anyway, I think for language paper one and paper two, we just need to figure out this technique. Literature, you've got to do technique, and you've got to memorize a bunch of things, okay? So there's way more to do. Hence, you definitely want to work through creating your mind maps and your flashcards, get them ready, okay? It's really important to get that stuff ready in advance. And then download, go into AQA, again, Google AQA literature, paper one or whatever, right? Download the answers or the questions and then literally write out responses. Macbeth people, I've got you from, I was thinking of doing Macbeth Monday, Inspector articles two. However, I think with English literature, there's a lot you need to do in advance preparation wise, get your flashcards and your mind maps and order, then download the literature papers and literally practice them, like now start working on your memory, okay? So as I mentioned, I think language paper one, once you get the technique down, you can get like a really solid grade seven, grade eight, even grade nine. Literature, there's lots of different shifting parts, okay? So that's really what I would say about it, okay? TikTok, by the way, is the same first-rate shooters, okay? Literally, you just find it and you're going to find it there, okay? Anyway, guys, I am going to end this live, okay? And thank you so much for joining in, guys. I will not have a TikTok live tonight. However, tomorrow, 6.45, looking at question number five, descriptive and creative writing, okay? So now I'm going to definitely end this live. Thank you so much for joining in, guys. I hope you found this useful and once I figure out layout for doing a model answer on YouTube live, I'm just going to play it on the community thing and then kind of announce that live, okay? So guys, you are all welcome and thank you so much for joining in. I will end today's stream and it's going to obviously be available afterwards, okay? So thank you guys so much. Love you all. Bye-bye.
