    I'm retaking my English in my 40's and have been doing well all year. Predicted B/6. But the more I revise the worse I seem to be. I feel more comfortable just reading and saying what's infront of me, if that makes sense. Having said that I love these videos. They've been a great help breaking down things and helping with planning questions. Which I often struggle with. Particularly PRTEZEL.

    If anyone thinks they might need this:
    25 Language Devices: Defined & Explained!
    1. Pathetic Fallacy
    Is when the weather or the atmosphere describes the mood.
    For example, when the weather is rainy people are sad and depressed
    2nd example, the dark night could symbolise something supernatural like 3AM Satan etc…
    2. Personification
    Is when a non-human is given human qualities.
    For example, the tree is waving to John as drives away.
    3. Simile
    When you are comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’
    For example, his facial vision looked like a falcon’s eye
    4. Metaphor
    Is when you are comparing two things with is or are
    Example He is an orc
    5. Extended Metaphor
    Pick a metaphor and explain how --- > turn in to an extended metaphor
    Metaphor --- > Life is a rollercoaster. Now turning into extended metaphor add explanation so, Life is a rollercoaster you don’t know when you will be at the top or at the bottom, it will all happen in an instance, at the greatest heights you will be at the greatest heights and at times it will crash, but every day is never the same, just like in a turn in a Rolle coaster is never the same.
    6. Oxymoron
    2 opposite words side-by-side
    Example, the small giant
    7. Juxtaposition
    You explain an oxymoron.
    The small giant tip-toing trying to reach the top shelf, however, his small arms and puny fingers prevented him from grabbing the bar of jam.
    8. Symbolism
    Is when objects represent a meaning.
    For example, moon and the star represent Islam.
    2nd Example, if you get a priest you will think someone died.
    In Macbeth the dagger links to death.
    9. Semantic field
    Is where words are linked to an idea.
    For example, PPE, 2m and Hand Sanitiser, Head of Year link to COVID.
    10. Irony
    Is when events in the text surprises the characters. Something not expected!
    Mr Birling offering a 1000.
    Scrooge changing his nature.
    11. Rhetorical Question
    Question does not require an answer
    12. Hyperbole
    Is when you hype, when over-exaggerating.
    I am going to eat the whole restaurant.
    13. Assonance
    Is the repetition of the vowel sound.
    I am too cool for school. Oooooo
    14. Alliteration
    Words in a row begin with the same letter.
    15. Sibilance

    Where is being repeated and why is that important
    25. Noun, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs
    Structure
    Flashback - when you go back in time ,3 days ago etc..
    Foreshadowing - when the writer gives clue about future ‘my heart was beating fast’

    Hello, can you please mark this :) The writer emphasises the idyllic atmosphere created by the books and stories of the past highlighting their importance. The writer's use of a list from lines 12 to 14 describes how fast paced the stories were, this also illustrates the action that took place in them. Furthermore, this creates a vivid image in the readers mind of the adventurous atmosphere that is created by stories of the past. Additionally, the writer's use of a long sentence helps in bringing these books to life ; therefore highlighting their importance in every child's childhood. This portrays to the reader the value of the books of the past and alludes to their degradation over the years as children face a lack of interest towards them. (2nd paragraph) The writer shows contrast between Mr Fisher's character in the exposition and towards the rising action. The use of the juxtaposition in lines 34 to 35 highlights the development of Mr Fisher's feelings as he experiences ' a very strange sensation'. At this point in the extract it is made clear to the reader that an unusual event is taking place. Furthermore, the writer zooms into Mr Fisher's breathing highlighting that this could be a 'strange' feeling due to the fact that Mr Fisher hasn't experienced this feeling in a long time. Hence creating interest as the reader is still unsure of what has caused Mr Fisher to feel this way so this grasps the reader's attention into leaving them with feelings of unease and suspicion therefore leaving the reader worried about the following future events forcing them to read on.

      I would assess it as Level 3, which corresponds to a score range of 5-6 marks in the mark scheme.
      Overall, the response meets the criteria for Level 3 by showing a clear understanding of the structural features, explaining their effects, selecting relevant examples, and using subject terminology appropriately.
      To improve the response and potentially reach a higher level, here are some suggestions:
      Provide more specific analysis
      Expand on the use of subject terminology
      Strengthen the connection between structural features and their importance

    couldn't you say that when mr fisher remembers a time when books were 'golden' juxtaposed with the fact that books now were ' black and white' ? golden is seen to be like a colour, which has like connotations of pure and nostalgia which has a semantic field of happiness and joy , contrasting with the words black and white, which has connotations of dull, plain, not seen in other ways.

    @Mr Everything English
    Can someone please take a look at my response. This paper is from the June of 2018.
    q3. in the Mr Fisher text
    At the beginning of the text the writer uses a short sentence in line 5 to introduce disappointment in the readers. But then the writer quickly switches the focus to Mr Fisher’s flashback of books in the past in lines 9 to 11. This conveys Mr Fisher’s excitement to the readers. The flashback pulls readers out of the present disappointment to the glory of the past. The use of a long complex sentence here clearly shows Mr Fisher’s passion and enthusiasm for old books. Hence readers are also excited about the old books and are distracted from the disappointing term.
    As the text develops, the writer switches the focus between the magnificent past and gloomy present constantly. In lines 25 to 28, the writer shifts the focus from Mr Fisher’s ‘gloomy train of thoughts’ to ‘Alistar Tibbet’ who represents and symbolizes hope. This change of focus to a student with ‘spark’ gives readers hope. Readers expect Tibbet to be a turning point and make the present more similar to the glorious past. The short sentence in line 27 ‘An amiable boy, this Tibbet’ indicates the narrator’s hope in Tibbet through an appreciating tone. This hope is emphasized through the short sentence then conveyd to the readers. Hence readers look forward to exactly how Tibbet will change the current situation and exactly how much ‘spark’ he has.

      This is how my teacher taught me A student said,
      This part of the story, where the men encounter the
      Tyrannosaurus Rex, shows Eckels is right to panic. The Monster is
      terrifying!'
      To what extent do you agree?
      In your response, you could:
      • consider your own impressions of Eckels' reaction to the Tyrannosaurus Rex
      • evaluate how the writer describes the Monster
      • support your response with references to the text.
      Steps to take before answering:
      1. Look at the question carefully.
      2. Highlight the key points in the statement that you need to respond to.
      Then look at the bullet points to help you answer the question and gain maximum marks.
      How to answer the question
      Part one - Your own impressions of Eckels' reaction.
      Is he right to panic? Why?
      Use quotes and explain what they show / suggest
      Part two - How does the writer make the monster sound terrifying?
      What words / phrases / techniques does the writer use to describe the monster?
      What is the impact of using them on the reader?
      Every single question on P1 Q4 will be a 2 part answer.
      Make sure you cover both parts - your own response and then zooming in on language choices and their impact.

    can someone please mark my answer? ik its long and boring but it would be much appreciated lmao -its from 2019 november paper
    At the beginning of the extract, from lines 1-14, the writer introduces us to zoe and her character and what she is like, he also describes the setting to create a sense of familiarity for the readers. He uses foreshadowing when he says “she could die in that place, and happily”, which not only shows zoes feelings and how much she adores the place, but also hints to the reader what might possibly happen towards the end of the extract, creating tension. However the word” happily” juxtaposes zoes feelings at the end of the extract, dismissing a cyclical structure.The writer then shifts the focus to zoe and her partner jake, and by doing this the writer zooms into their conversations by using dialogue from lines 20-22, and these lines show how eager and ready they are to go and we are introduced to jakes character which makes the text more interesting because now there are two characters which may possibly mean more events and scenarios between them which makes the narrative more important.
    However there is a change in tone as line 28 starts with the word “but”, showing that perhaps there may be a major shift in focus and that everything may be going downhill. This is later supported when it says that zoe was “irritated by the false start they made”, and this juxtaposes how zoe felt “happily” at the beginning, as it shows that things weren’t going to plan. From lines 33 to 43, the paragraphs also get shorter, showing that there is more tension. This creates a dramatic feel to the audience and this keeps the readers attention so that they can see what happens next and reduces the narrative between the reader and the characters. At line 39, we can see that there is a drastic turn of events as it says “then her smile iced over”, and the short sentences with repetition of jake saying “get to the side”, shows what little time they had, and creates a faster pace which makes the reader more interested to see what happens next, and contrasts the calm, peaceful feel at the beginning.

      the last line for the first paragraph and last paragraph feels unecessary, use phrases like "it captivates the reader." u definitely could've talked about focus shifts in a lot more detail, for example the focus at the start of the extract where zoe is admiring the beauty of nature, is cotrasted by the focus point in the last paragpah where she is paralysed in fear of nature. this shows the examiner that ur using the whole source for ur answer. also, the repition of "get to the side" could have been explored upon more, for example, the repitition creates a frantic rhythm which reflects the build up of fear and terror in zoe. overall, it was good, i would give it a level 3/4 so minimum 5 marks.

    this is my paragraph for Q3, feedback is appreciated!
    The writer creates interest within the reader by purposefully introducing an usual event at the end of the source. Throughout lines 34 and 35, the usage of juxtaposition is clear, as throughout the source Mr Fisher is portrayed as a typical habitual teacher. However, this idea is being challenged as the writer notably zooms into the “strange sensation” by describing Mr Fisher’s atypical reaction which emphasises importance. Therefore piques the curiosity of the reader which as a result, creates interest.

    at the beginning of the source, the writer uses listing in lines 12-14 through the flashback "there were heroes, dragons and dinosaurs, space adventures" to illustrate mr fisher's elation and fascination of books of the past. the writer accentuates mr fisher's excitement as it is evident he is immersed and captivated by such stories, although they were purely fiction, places great importance on books as it foreshadows to the reader that they will be a key subject throughout the extract.
    the focus then shifts as the writer employs a long paragraph including short sentences in line 19, "dickens was boring." "shakespeare was boring." which juxtaposes the gleeful and ecstatic ambience at the beginning of the source, as the reader can infer that stories of the past no longer spark and engage the boys at the grammar skl. this creates an arid and monotonous mood to the source, and considering this is the longest paragraph in the extract from lines 16 to 24, this further expresses mr fisher's disappointment and gloom in which the reader can feel pity for him as it is clear that books do not hold the same meaning and prevalence now as they did "in those days".
    by the end of the extract the writer introduces a new character in lines 27 and 28, "this tibbet" to foreshadow that not all hope is lost. the use of the new character could be symbolic of hope and renewal as seen through the short sentence in line 36, "he began to sweat" suggests the greatness of mr fisher's awe that he can't grasp what he's reading before him. the final line "something entirely original" leaves the reader feeling elated and relieved as mr fisher's reminiscence of the past seems to be coming to life once again.

    The writer has structured the texts to interest you as a reader, this is evident from the line "12-14" the writer has used a list to create an building up books form the past as this is an history which is never ending.
    Furthermore, this is evident from the line "34-35" the writer has used juxtaposition to create a symbolic meaning of how strange is Mr fisher been form the past and the writer is making the events more usual as the source develops and Mr fisher is using diaphragm to breathe in all the books that he has read from the past, this reminds him from the past memories, the past as a past memories, the writer is highlighting how these book's had something for everyone, they were not just limited to one or two more qualities and this can further seen by the writer highlights through the the long sentences which mimics the Idea that the goodness of the books and like the sentences is going on and on it is never ending

    Q5) Write a story about a new beginning
    As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an iridescent glow upon the quaint village, a sudden flashback enveloped Eleanor's mind. There she was, a vivacious young woman, embarking on the most arduous journey of her life; a new beginning awaited her. In the bustling city, she found solace in the cacophony of sounds: the honking of cars, the laughter of children, and the murmur of conversations. Brimming with aspirations , Eleanor was ready to face the world; little did she know the challenges that lay ahead.
    A whirlwind of emotions consumed her.
    Outside her window, a torrential downpour mirrored her tumultuous thoughts - the raindrops pounded against the glass, as though they were trying to break through. "What if I fail?" she pondered, her heart pounding in her chest-doubt seeped into her very core, smothering her confidence.
    With unwavering determination, she embraced the unknown: the late-night study sessions, the seemingly endless job applications, and the constant self-doubt. Would she succeed in this newly forged journey? Only time would tell.
    And then, it happened....
    "You did it!" her friend exclaimed, the pride in her voice palpable. "Your hard work paid off!" Standing in the heart of the city, Eleanor felt an indescribable surge of elation, as though she had conquered the world; she had finally achieved her dreams.
    Looking back, the trials she faced seemed almost insurmountable. The journey had been like scaling a mountain without a safety harness, but it was all worth it in the end.
    The sun broke through the clouds, casting a warm, golden light upon the city.
    From that day forward, Eleanor never looked back. The city became her sanctuary, a place where dreams were born and nurtured. She had found her purpose, her raison d'être, and she would never forget the struggles that led her to this moment.
    As she stood on the rooftop, gazing upon the city that had become her home, Eleanor realized that her new beginning was both a beautiful dream and a haunting reminder of the challenges she had faced. "I made it," she whispered to herself, the warmth of the setting sun caressing her skin like a gentle embrace. And as the sun dipped below the horizon once more, she knew that her journey had come full circle.

      Q5) Write a story about a new beginning
      Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled amid verdant hills , a weary traveler named Eloise stumbled upon the opportunity for a new beginning. As she ambled along the cobblestone streets, a feeling of déjà vu washed over her; memories of a past life began to resurface. The village, with its ivy-covered cottages and picturesque gardens, felt like a long-lost home. The air was redolent with the scent of roses and lavender, and the sun cast a golden hue upon the buildings, making them appear celestial. Her heart swelled with an ineffable sense of belonging; she knew she had found her sanctuary.
      Time seemed to slow down as she crossed the threshold.
      Eloise found herself in a cozy little room, filled with the warm, flickering light of a crackling fire. The flames danced and leaped, casting a mesmerizing glow on the walls. A gentle breeze whispered through the open window, carrying with it the laughter of children at play. Eloise sighed with contentment, feeling the weight of her past life finally lifting from her shoulders; a new chapter was beginning.
      Outside, the vibrant village buzzed with activity: market stalls overflowed with fresh produce; artisans showcased their exquisite wares; and the townsfolk chatted animatedly, their laughter and conversation filling the air. Eloise marveled at the scene, struck by the harmony and camaraderie that seemed to permeate every aspect of village life. What secrets did these people hold, she wondered, that allowed them to live in such blissful peace?
      And so, she decided to stay....
      "Welcome to our village, dear traveler," said a kind-faced woman with twinkling eyes. "We are a close-knit community, bound by the simple belief that happiness is found in the smallest, most ordinary moments of life". Eloise felt a warmth envelop her heart; she knew she had found her tribe. "Thank you," she replied, her voice brimming with gratitude , "I am honored to become a part of your community".
      Eloise immersed herself in the daily life of the village, quickly discovering that its magic lay in the unyielding optimism and generosity of its inhabitants. They approached even the most mundane tasks with a zest and vigor that was both inspiring and contagious. She watched, awestruck, as they transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary, like alchemists spinning gold from straw.
      A sense of wonder enveloped her.
      As the days turned to weeks and the weeks to months, Eloise found herself flourishing in her new environment. Her heart swelled with love for her newfound friends, and she reveled in the simple pleasures that life in the village offered. Her laughter became more frequent, her spirit lighter, and her soul more at peace. She knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that she had found her home.
      Years later, as she sat on her porch, watching the sun rise over the hills, Eloise reflected on her journey. The village had not only given her a new beginning but had also taught her the true meaning of happiness. "Life," she mused, "is a beautiful tapestry of seemingly ordinary moments that, when woven together, create an extraordinary masterpiece". And with a heart full of gratitude, Eloise knew that she was living her own masterpiece, one golden sunrise at a time.

    Is this good response --The writer use language structure to intrest us as a reader. by an unusal event
    which occurs with Mr fisherman, at the end of THe source. Point
    it can be seen from the line 34-35.
    Where the writer use Juxtaposition, and
    shows Mr fisher with an unusal event taking Place with him. as he is experiencing something different, from what he usually do. something out of his daily life. furthermore
    " The writer zoom in (z) into the sentence
    “tighteng in his disgraph" which shows Mr fisher is experiencing something, which he has not experienced long time ago. and shows mr, fisher as he is evolving and changing from the Start of the source. Therefore as you can see the writer has suddenly change mr fisher
    And bring focus on him and Kept the readers
    in a pique curiosity of what’s happening next.
