the problem with creative writing is that sometime you focus too much on the story that you forgot about good quality structure

I’m still debating whether to go with narrative or descriptive. i’m good at narrative but i prolly won’t finish the story, with descriptive that won’t be a problem but i’m not as confident writing it. i’m stuck 😭😭

@ HII! Thank you for reminding me about this. It was amazing! I loved English Literature paper 1. It was fun writing my Macbeth and A Christmas Carol essays. I got a grade 8 in both English Literature and English Language; Mr Bruff helped so much, as well as watching First Rate Tutors, listening to advice from my teachers, etc. My prayers were answered & now I’m in sixth form thank u for askingg

I have 25% extra time, should I add that on to each question or spend longer on a certain question or something else?

[@Edie-GraceGrubb]

same i always struggle on figuring out timings

[@Alexxheartz]

I would see how it goes on the day; either spend more time on the questions you feel you needed and could have written more on or write in the same time as everyone else then add more onto each question (those that need it) in your extra time at the end. I'm sitting mine tomorrow too!
Good luck!! (we're going to smash it!)

[@unkn0wn_xx]

15:35 what grade would this piece of work be awarded? A grade 9?

[@mrbruff]

It's a top level piece, but it's important to remember that there is no such thing as a 'grade 9 answer' because a grade is awarded when you put all of the marks from the papers together. One single question cannot achieve a grade 9 on its own.

[@aqabid420]

can you do a model answer for descriptive writing

[@mrbruff]

Yes, I'll get working on that.
