I just want to say, I have watched so many of your videos, I'm close to getting full marks on every single english paper I have done this year, all thanks to you, it's close to the end of year 11 I will miss your commentary.
Thank you Mr Salles! I have been using your videos all year and have gone from 3’s to 7’s in both literature and language, I am aiming for 8’s in both for my real exams ! Thank you so so much for all your help
@@AmritjotSingh-vn4ct Maths - 9 Triple Science - 9/9/9 English - 8/8 Geography - 9 CompSci - 9 Spanish - 8 RE - 9 Writing based subjects arent my forte. Im happy with what i got but it would have been nice to get 9's across the board xd. Im taking Further maths CompSci and Physics for my a levels rn. Got an A* in maths last year.
Huge Thanks, Mr Salles with your helpful videos i have been able to get grade 8s in almost all of my mocks, and recently i was able to get one mark of a grade 9. I am now pushing for a 9 in my real exams , but i wanted to say many thanks
I am so happy I came across this video! The question today was how does Dickens present isolation and loneliness in A Christmas Carol and this came up multiple times in this video! Cheers! 👏
Imagine I watched this video literally 1 hour before my English literature exam and the question ended up being how does dickens present the effect of loneliness and isolation, never been so happy about a coincidence. thank you so much mr salles
btw im real grateful that you decided to help those who need it. Idk how grateful ppl are to you for everything with these awesome videos. Keep it up 👍
could you also argue that dickens really highlights the importance of fatherhood becasue his own father abandoned him in his childhood becasue he was sent to a debtors prison? this led charles and the rest if his family to have to go to the workhouse so could you argue it is ultimately his father fault that he experienced poverty at a young age ?
such a star! watched a video one time and now i can’t stop lol. your points are explained so well and have helped me so much. good luck to everyone on their english paper 1!💕
honestly I'm homeschooled and I *completely* forgot to learn 'a Christmas Carol' and my exams start on the tenth of May so I've never been happier to see this video thank you so much 😭😭
Your First point is incorrect, Scrooge first shows the first sign of change before Fezzwig's party in his school: 'There was a boy singing a Christmas Carol at my door last night. I should liked to have given him something: that's all'
Pls mr salles I'm begging thy to predict love and relationships poem. Pls mr salles wherefore have u not done it this year? Thee feels coil and dispear. Please I hope thee take this evening to rethink thy decision (and accept my beesech) and perhaps upload a video before the blazing sun sets and the nigtsky is welcomed. I must take my leave now I will come back later to see if thy have changed mind ,if my breath is still in my lung. Until then a great good afternoon to you
This video is great and the ideas are brilliant, however I feel like the person reviewing my essay will not understand or care about how long Bob had to walk or may see it as irrelevant showing how Scrooge wasn’t a miserly boss? Am I being a bit of a silly guy and they will take this into account and possibly research it to see if I’m just waffling or will they save their time and ignore the point? Thank you for the good videos tho I have been watching a lot!
Don’t worry paper 1 for english lang was awful i mean it went really bad. But theres still hope where you can get more marks just make sure your revising the subjects
Nah but the saddest thing was i got 9s in both english langs for mocks (for some reason we never ever had an acc exam or even a bloody question on creative writing ever) anyways i decided to do that first but it was awful and it threw me off for everything else. I ended up having a panic attack and my mind went completely blank and i forgot everything like i couldn't pick out any language features at all and it went awful I would be surprised if i even get a 4
I find it odd that the English education system neglects writers such as Jules Vern who is arguably a more intelligent writer than those included in the current GCSE curriculum, given he heavily influenced the construction of the design and propulsion of submersibles, and calculated the trajectory required for one to get to the moon with minimal mistakes considering the information available at the time.
I'm not really sure what you meant about ignorance being the most dangerous? You kinda put the idea in there, but I'm not sure I picked up on the point - especially as the context you mentioned was after the book was released?
It says, "But most of all beware this boy, for on his brow, I see that written which is doom." remember the boy represents ignorance so ignorance of the working class = doom(revolution)
follow what your name says and revise themes, and of course within themes there are quotes you should know and be able to analyse in detail while providing more than one point of view. Mr Salles did say out of the 2 questions you're given in the exam, choose the theme one as it's easier to be exploratory and critical
Definitely revise themes - make sure you've got a good selection of quotes too - I'd say those are the most important factors to prioritise. Good luck and try not to panic, you'll do fine.
Hi PLEASE can you do a video about Love and Relationships Poetry and how to structure the essay because that is my weakest part and I'm panicking there's nothing online to help revise!
My English teacher told us not to worry about context for a christmas carol but all these interpretations link to context. do you think it’s ok if I use these in my English mock?
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish in one of your videos on macbeth, Which was linked to the quote "she should have died hereafter" you did an interpretation, context and an alternative interpretation but you suggested for us to them compare these two interpretations, how would we and is this significant?
Dear Mr. Salles I am aware that this is nothing to do with a chritmas carol, but i wanted to know what % each part of the exam in literature is, because in AIC and Poetry I do well but in R+J i always struggle, so i wanted to know if AIC and Poetry would puch my grade up?
@@reginaampofo8479 yeah same i want to make paper 2 a bit better than p1, but there's no point in dwelling on the past cuz what's done is done. You got this Regina!!
Hi! I thought it was alright actually, though a lot of students in my year hated the extract. I'm a little bit anxious about the results though - I'm hoping for a grade 9 but I actually got my paper taken off me about 15/20 mins into the exam by a invigilator due to a misunderstanding with highlighting which was later resolved to be a mistake so I basically wasted 10 mins copying my answers down again. Totally freaked me out in the exam but I believe I answered all the questions alright and my story wasn't horrendous so fingers crossed it doesn't cost me much. How'd it go for you?
Hello, I am a parent, and I just want to ask if a Christmas carol did not come up in paper 1 will it defiantly come up in paper 2? My son has severe dyslexia and having missed school for almost 2 years due to covid, he is going to struggle with this paper. Thank you.
Hello Mr Salles thank you for doing this please could you help me as I am writing my English literature exams in year 10 and I really want to get a grade 9 please help me sir
Hi sir I really want a grade 7 how can I ensure I get this I have already revised a lot but want to make sure I get the grade I want any recommendations please
I don't understand why you say most of his readers were upper middleclass. although the book was expensive, I thought most of the actual readers he got were those who read the story on the newspaper as he released parts of the book each week in them.
Hi sir, I have a question. How can you spot if you're getting unfairly marked, because I'm writing content that should've been getting me a grade 9 in english lit but I keep getting marked at a grade 6 constantly even if I improve, yet I see other people getting 9s but not adding as much detail.
Thank you sir, all my anxiety’s of English exams are gone thanks to you, may Allah guide you and reward you, I cannot thank you enough

@@izukiz it's not funny you did a good thing mashallah, the other guy probably goes to church in football shoes and motorbike headgear.

I thought Mr Salles had written an actual Christmas carol about how to get top marks on analysis
That would be hilarious
1:11 bob is payed 15 bob a week 😂🤣
😭😭
LMAOOOO 🤣🤣
A bob was slang for one shilling. (We might call one dollar a "buck" in the same way.) Dickens used that as a pun since it was also Bob's first name.
Although I must agree I should say thankyou so much for helping me in the past and for the great advices for paper 1.
I meant I thank yee
how did it go?
lifesaver, my exams tomorrow and I know most things so its nice to have another perspective to consider
