Just make a story about how your cooking some good food in the kitchen and analyse and zoom in on the spatula .such as the shiny , smooth , and glossy spatula was like a magical wand . With just one touch it cooked food to perfection
only just checked how low the grade boundaries are for language paper 1 - some years you can get a grade 9 without even answering the first 3 questions…
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish starting with question 5's gave me so much time to not worry about it at the end of the thing and rush, the way you structured the question 5 creative writing was amazing and i took on the persona of a guide in a desert for holiday makers in a small town and honestly i think that was the best thing im not sure of any other tips really it all went so quickly i can barely remember
I fully agree with you about anotating what a waste of time,i always see students highlighting carefully and writing on the extract and then they dont have time to write anything about them
Nah I do it quick and I was on a grade 8 in my last mocks. Annotating for Q2 and Q4 is key but do it really fast so you have a plan. As for highlighting that’s bs I agree.
From the spatula, to the fat man being eaten by a bear, to the handsome spatula productions, I think this is the most entertaining video I’ve watched in a while…
Cheers! Mr Salles due to your videos my grade has gone up massively I was predicted a 6 in language and after the mocks I got 157/160 and I will try and repeat it in the real one.
Just finished the paper and I’m so glad I watched this video beforehand! In my mind I had an image of Mr Salles with a spatula chanting ‘Don’t stop to think and keep writing!’ and managed to write a massive chunk for Q5- way more than my mocks! I’m worried it’s not very original so I’m hoping the sheer volume of it will carry me through 😂
For question5 i wrote a story about 2 gents who have to go to a wedding. The gents were myself and Big John. I had to go to a dry cleaners to xollect our suits, but the dry cleaner man, Mr. Griffin, lost the waist coats, so i had an argument with him. Then Big John turned up in the Boshmobile, and i ran out of time so i left it on a cliffhanger and 'to be continued...'
"Keep that spatular,." It really works. I would just like to say, I am an adult learner who is doing his first English resit tomorrow. I have learnt more in 20 mins of your video, than I have for the past 3 months of being on a fast -track GCSE. I started in January. Good video. : )
We are going to COOK tomorrow guys it’s gonna be great don’t stress about it. We all speak English and you only get 0 marks for a question if you don’t write anything at all so just do your best
thank you! your video is the one i played before the exam and it helped me a lot with confidence. For question 5 i didn't do my best work but roughly wrote about a girl who was a 'dreamer' in the sense that she was always in the library, which her dad disagreed with. her biggest dream being to be a pirate and then skipping a bit forward her dad was telling her off for being in the library when she told him her plan and got up to walk away. their argument was dialogue just repeated "yes" and "no" before she walked off. i didn't get to put what i wanted as a last sentence but was still able to leave it on a cliffhanger. Do you thunk that that was enough for the argument because it was only brief and occured at the end, though I guess you could argue that they were arguing the whole time in terms of their beliefs and attitude towards things. the no yes conversation was the only dialogue spoken aloud however.
Until I watched this video, I was struggling to reach that Grade 9 that I knew I could. I had this video on repeat last night and this morning to get myself into the right mindset; definitely aced it. These de-stressing videos are good food and you are an excellent chef! Keep cooking
HEY GUYS! If anyone's up for it, here's a practice Q5 I did for you guys to mark. Marking always helps you improve! :) The rickety frames of the old house looked as though they were about to fall. There was not a single plank of wood on that unimpressive roof without some type of damage. Tapping my wet boots on the dry concrete path, I made my way towards the shed. The lacklustre appearance of the shed contrasted with the sprawling fields in every direction. The lackadaisical lump of dirt, directly next to the house, lay carelessly as the gentle wind breathed through it. The rain had stopped for the last few days allowing the sparse sunshine to illuminate the prairie. Every flower, which was once gulping for breath under the merciless onslaughts of constant rain, had now blossomed. The mountains were as colossal as ever, like snow-capped guardians watching over the peaceful prairie. Every object in view seemed at harmony - except the house. The wooden structure, which showed signs of once being an ornate and well-decorated building, looked empty. It seemed as if the previous owners had taken away every item alongside the memories and moments shared inside it; leaving it barren. Frighteningly, the two large windows on each end coupled with the wide, steel door in the centre made the house seem like an indignant creature. A creature who had been abandoned and forgotten. The long forgotten house was covered in years and years of 'art' left by reckless teenagers but the steel door looked impeccable (as if it had just been installed). Carefully prising the door open, I stepped in. After taking some seconds to register my surroundings, I began walking to the centre of the room like a moth to the flame. The insipid features of the empty room contrasted heavily with the masterpiece lying directly in the centre. It was a piece of art like no other. Its ornate framing glinted in the few rays of light which shone upon it. The vibrancy of the paint, the detail of the shapes and the flawless composition left me absolutely dumbfounded. Carefully, I used the tips of my fingers to feel the frame which was engrained with floral patterns and encrusted with what seemed to be gold. It was gold. Possibly the purest gold I had ever seen. This gold was not just on the frame but every little detail on the luscious painting was made with gold. I took five steps backwards and stared at the painting in awe. It was an angel, bright with the light of its candour, surrounded by a blissful darkness. It truly was a masterpiece.
Thats a great piece of writing that would almost certainly gain very high marks. The only thing I'd say is that it could use some more sensory language such as about sound or smell.
My teacher has been giving us information that got me grade 5's but in the last few days she has completely changed it and it confused the heck out of me so im just ignoring her now and looking at some past work i did and watching you for revision
Here’s how things went for me: questions 1, 4, and 5 went remarkably well; I leapt at opportunities to use the ludicrously grandiloquent vocabulary I have accumulated as a logophile (A.K.A. weird freak), elucidated my standpoints and analysed with clarity, and wrote roughly two pages for Q.4 and Q.5. I have no doubt in my mind these answers will net me a lot of marks, however for question two, I only wrote one paragraph and two pathetic sentences (big worry). In question 3, my mind drew a blank at the word, ‘cyclical’, so I ended up referring to the structural technique as a “repeating structure”. Also, should I be concerned that I’ve written a description? I consider it to be my forte, but I’m not sure if the mark scheme will favour it. Most importantly, I fear Q.2 and Q.3 will leave a lasting impression on the Examiner, causing them to subconsciously establish a final grade in their head before they reach the final answers. Will the words, ‘exsiccate’, ‘refulgent’, ‘pulchritudinous’, ‘respair’ and ‘resplendent’ save me from being cooked? Thank you for the support over the past week! I found this channel about a week ago, and - much to my astonishment - I am finding myself watching your GCSE English Literature videos despite lit being over. Stop being so entertaining, Mr. Salles! 👍
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish That’s a valuable insight I presume will apply to lang. paper two as well. Many thanks for the reply! You’ve allayed my fears!
The boisterous demeanour, the outward utilization of hand gestures, and the silver-beaming spatula, all amalgamate into a compelling video. Excellent production, sir! For Q4, I suppose it isn't a transgression to have 1-2 PEE sentences/ideas per mini paragraph. If you don't have any objections to this sir, I'll do this tomorrow.
I'm expected a 7 for english but I got a 4 in one of my mocks so I fear this exam, I feel like a 5 would be good enough and It'd be lucky if I manage to scrape by a 6. Good luck to you all taking the exam tomorrow as well!
if youre marking question 5 this year and you come across a story about a man called Salles being bit by a snake… that was me. was thinking about this video during the exam and that was the name that came to mind 💀
Unfortunately, luck does not exist. It is intangible, therefore it will not aid in your exam. What will aid you is being mentally and physically prepared.
Question 3: Can you continuously say "there is a change in focus" or will that not get marked up due to repetition, if so then how will I continuously talk about a change of focus only? And do you literally mean only write about a change in focus for structure.
I did quite bad on this paper, didn't write much on Q2 and Q3, but did Q4 and Q5, expecting around 30-40 marks out of 80, but we move on, gonna cook on Paper 2. (need at least a grade 5).
additionally, the imagery of “cooking” is implemented to portray his skill set, and how he will guide us as readers to achieving our own personal gsce utopia
@@TheBuffestOfClarencesthe extended metaphor of 'cooking' also implies that he, as a sentient being, is in charge of the food (the exam) and not the other way around, thus supporting his belief that, in the exam, he is the boss
Thank you so much for the help, I completed the paper in reverse order (60 mins for Q5, 30 for Q4, 15 for Q2&3, 10 for everything else as I have ET) but I felt slightly rushed for time with Q2, Is it still possible to get a 9 if my Q2 is a bit rubbish but the Q4&5 are pretty decent? Once again thanks so much for the help!
Mr Salles, I used what you’ve said in this video for structuring my answers, so for example in question 2 I gave quotes for each point, stated the technique used and gave 1-2 explanations which were pretty basic but still described the effect of the ‘heat’ in the extract. Overall I gave 8 small explanations linking to different points. However I’m not sure if this was how I was supposed to do it. Is it possible for me to get 8 marks using this structure.
Story idea that im going to use (please tell me if you think this is bad) A Dystopian world that had a normal civilization like one of today but a flood caused by demons has set society back thousands of years to using boats to travel and weapons limited to swords and old pistols and rifles. Many different groups of people from different lands use magic that was discovered after the world flooded in warefare against each other. Also people that have perished get sent to an underwater hellscape existing many places all at once in the same time with the only way of escape being a trial chosen by the demons. Or if they choose to stay they will stay in an underwater world with monsters that endanger their life. Rate the story (did i go overboard)
i dont know if you're gonna see this but DO NOT use this story. wayyyy too complicated and you won't cover it all and it will just be an overcomplicated mess as mr everything english showed in his video "aqa has lost the plot", someone got 40/40 for writing about someone sitting a english language exam and insulting the questions. you don't need a novel level storyline, just focus on language and structure
Mr Salles, I am worried about the tenses in Q5 for narrative. In a previous video you said that we should never, never mix the past and the present tense when writing. Say I wanted to use the past tense, would I now be unable to use participle 'ing' verbs as they are a feature of the present tense? Would I have to use "was Xing"? How would I say: "Clasping the cloudy vial, Maria dashed through the network of trees"? That mixes the present and past!!?!?
I think what you said is fine, you sound very stressed, I recommend you take some deep breaths and sleep early tonight, you sound dedicated and you’ll be fine
To bad all I’ll remember in the exam is that dam spatula
Mr salles cooking while we are all cooked

The rickety frames of the old house looked as though they were about to fall. There was not a single plank of wood on that unimpressive roof without some type of damage. Tapping my wet boots on the dry concrete path, I made my way towards the shed. The lacklustre appearance of the shed contrasted with the sprawling fields in every direction. The lackadaisical lump of dirt, directly next to the house, lay carelessly as the gentle wind breathed through it. The rain had stopped for the last few days allowing the sparse sunshine to illuminate the prairie. Every flower, which was once gulping for breath under the merciless onslaughts of constant rain, had now blossomed. The mountains were as colossal as ever, like snow-capped guardians watching over the peaceful prairie. Every object in view seemed at harmony - except the house.
The wooden structure, which showed signs of once being an ornate and well-decorated building, looked empty.

Frighteningly, the two large windows on each end coupled with the wide, steel door in the centre made the house seem like an indignant creature. A creature who had been abandoned and forgotten. The long forgotten house was covered in years and years of 'art' left by reckless teenagers but the steel door looked impeccable (as if it had just been installed). Carefully prising the door open, I stepped in.
After taking some seconds to register my surroundings, I began walking to the centre of the room like a moth to the flame. The insipid features of the empty room contrasted heavily with the masterpiece lying directly in the centre.
It was a piece of art like no other.
Its ornate framing glinted in the few rays of light which shone upon it. The vibrancy of the paint, the detail of the shapes and the flawless composition left me absolutely dumbfounded. Carefully, I used the tips of my fingers to feel the frame which was engrained with floral patterns and encrusted with what seemed to be gold. It was gold. Possibly the purest gold I had ever seen.

i dont know if you're gonna see this but DO NOT use this story. wayyyy too complicated and you won't cover it all and it will just be an overcomplicated mess
as mr everything english showed in his video "aqa has lost the plot", someone got 40/40 for writing about someone sitting a english language exam and insulting the questions. you don't need a novel level storyline, just focus on language and structure
im using it. if we both use it one of us is gonna lose marks for plagarism im takin that risk i implore u to find another idea
Dam maybe should keep my ideas to myself
@mrwraithxyz5919 anyway I kinda used that idea in English language mock earlier today my English teacher said I only wrote up to level 5 so :/

If I answer q5 first do I leave space in front for the other questions or does it not matter
It won’t matter as long as you number each question on the left
Mr Salles, I am worried about the tenses in Q5 for narrative. In a previous video you said that we should never, never mix the past and the present tense when writing. Say I wanted to use the past tense, would I now be unable to use participle 'ing' verbs as they are a feature of the present tense? Would I have to use "was Xing"? How would I say: "Clasping the cloudy vial, Maria dashed through the network of trees"? That mixes the present and past!!?!?
No he means like “was running” and “is running” in the same sentence 😊
I think what you said is fine, you sound very stressed, I recommend you take some deep breaths and sleep early tonight, you sound dedicated and you’ll be fine
Only use the past in a flashback if you start with the present
Thank you guys, I think I am worrying for nothing. I guess I misunderstood what he said in the original video.
I WILL COOK FR❗
you are really handsome mr salles GOAT
blud thought he would escape gen z with the why be sexist comment
