Thank you so much for all the help! Next year I'm not doing 'A Christmas Carol' or 'Jekyll and Hyde', instead I'm doing 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen as my text. So if possible, could you kindly make some videos on the characters analysis, theme overviews, quotation analysis and also predictions for the exam? (I'm taking my GCSEs in 2026). Thank you in advance, and keep it up! 😄

Imagine if Mr everything English and Lightup both did a English exam to see who gets the best score

If I am writing an anecdote during pervasive writing, do I have to write from the perspective of myself or can I write from the perspective of someone else to make it more convincing? For example, if I were writing about children needing to sleep and I am writing an anecdote, can I pretend to be a teacher speaking during my anecdote to make myself seem more credible and convincing?

[lauren_s]

[zzedixx]
