    Hey Mr salles,
    Firstly, thank you for all your supportive videos, it’s really helping me prep for the 2020 GCSE exams.
    Recently in my Mocks I did a English Lang Q5 which i was really impressed with getting 30 marks (18+12) I did a video on this on my channel but I was wondering if you wanted to use this as an video. It would greatly help me and I hope you can use it to your advantage to support others. If you want me to I could send you a clean copy on a written out world document if it helps.
    Keep up the great work!
    All the best

      Thank you, I've checked out your video! I love the enthusiasm, but you should hold the phone landscape - over 90% of educational vidoes are viewed on a PC or laptop apparently. I'd be interested in a second draft with fewer descriptive techniques - less is more!

    Hi @Mr Salles Teaches English, thank you so much for these videos. They are supremely helpful! I got an 8 for English Language in my mocks all because of you. I wanted to ask you, if I talk about the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, could this count as context as it could show the foreshadowing of Macbeth's own demise. Thank you once again!

      @@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Oh ok sir. Basically, in the Battle of Stamford Bridge, 1066, King Harold Godwinson of England fought the Norwegians and his own brother betrayed him and joined Norwegian forces. However, Godwinson returned victorious and his brother died, possibly executed. However, less than a month later, the Battle of Hastings occurred where William of Normandy fought against Godwinson and won. So, could it be said that Macbeth in this scene killing the Norwegians and traitor is a reminder of the Battle of Stamford Bridge? Thanks.

      @@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Perhaps it could emphasise Macbeth's own bloodlust because even though Godwinson's army was tired and knackered after defeating the Norwegians, they still continued and many died in the process and so it could suggest that ultimately it was Macbeth's own Hamartia of bloodlust that led to his tragic folly with Macduff finishing him off just like William of Normandy.

Which one of these stories would you recommend would be best and what is the best way to structure the speech. Thank you so much.

    Wondering whether its far fetched to talk about how the witches speaking in trochaic petremeter creates a childish rhythm which symbolises Shakespeares view that the supernatural is childish?
