i speak 3 and learning one at the moment, and i’m pretty sure the reason is hard its bc you didnt get used to the exam structure as i struggle with that too
Hi. Your vids are really helping me.. i have a question in mind. Can you add humans like characters in your description. I have a exam tmmr . And im not sure
@@mk-hc3pj Please tell the tips; I do not write adequately and have a limited vocabulary. Plus in narrative and descriptive what you recommend? And what makes your grade above B or a C?
I m always confused with the word essay and descriptive altogether. I Though an essay implies always a thesis, something you need to proved, so i don´t know if a descriptive essay implies that. Can you explain it to me please. or it would be very helpful if you did some videos giving us some examples of it. Can a descriptive essay have 3 short paragraphs? . im confused with expository text and descriptive essays .
Yes but it's slightly more challenging. If you're writing from first person perspective from descriptive writing, make sure you're describing everything you see as if it's a freeze frame / nothing massive is moving. As if you were describing a picture.
Put yourself in the shoes of that object. How does it feel? For example if you were given an image of a decaying tree, you could write about how it feels its time coming, its branches wearing down etc. Personification goes a long way in this part.

You’re welcome! ☺️
This is the BEST video out there. This is exactly what I needed! Subscribing!
Thank you ❤️
what would you say for feelings, like in general for the setting or just one person, does it matter if u zoom in or out?
As I speak two languages and learning the techniques of English is kinda hard 😢, I'm not sure if amthe only one that thinks that
Bro i speak 5 still got A never let ur weakness take over u
youre the only one
@@calmingnature-whitenoise6945 wow, bro doesn't care about no one's feelings
i speak 3 and learning one at the moment, and i’m pretty sure the reason is hard its bc you didnt get used to the exam structure as i struggle with that too

When it asking questions such as, write a story about a new beginning, how would this apply? should you still just use description? xx
ilysm miss ty for ur explanation but I dont rlly get the 3rd and fourth part
my paper 1 is transactional writing and paper 2 is descriptive writing which i use edexcel but the edexcel papers are the opposite way around here
can you describe it as if you were there ?
For example " I can feel the humid air"
On step 2, is it basically you are using the 5 senses so what you can see, hear, smell, taste, feel etc?
no
Pretty much
Is the last part necessary? Is it possible to end the writing with the protagonist 's feelings and emotions?
Yes you can do that too!
I have a question. Can you use 1st person to write a description?
Yes but it's slightly more challenging. If you're writing from first person perspective from descriptive writing, make sure you're describing everything you see as if it's a freeze frame / nothing massive is moving. As if you were describing a picture.

@@Kevin-zf9om she just said yes brudda can you not read ??? you might be struggling for tomorrow lad 😂
@@calmingnature-whitenoise6945 that is not what I asked though
it's only a couple of sentences try to read everything next time bud
👍
@@calmingnature-whitenoise6945 Or else you will miss important quotes in the exam
I love giving helpful information to those in need
Did any you guys writing cxc this year?... I am
Can you please upload a video for the new pattern? 2024-2026.
Can I just write two descriptive writing of jubilant place and a dark place and then memories them for my real exam.
You can but make sure that you memorise more general descriptive paragraphs that can be applied to most setting questions.
Please try to give few examples with the video so we could refer how to write
How do you talk about a picnic trip on an island, describing the sights, sounds and smells
Smell the fresh sea air. Describe the ocean, the sky, the sand, the animals in the beach you can children laughing ,birds chirping ,the waves.
what u mean by the feelings of the object like how would i write that
Put yourself in the shoes of that object. How does it feel? For example if you were given an image of a decaying tree, you could write about how it feels its time coming, its branches wearing down etc. Personification goes a long way in this part.
How do you talk about the weather and stuff like that if the question says to describe the most interesting piece of art you have ever seen?
thus really helped me tysm really helped me for my english exam
You're welcome 😃
