GCSE English Language Paper 1 Q3 the 'structure' question

A tutorial to help maximise marks on the English Language Paper 1 exam.

I don't get how u think of this stuff on the spot that's what I find difficult about this question

Mrs Whelan: * Reads one sentence and writes one full paragraph *
Me: * Spends time reading the whole text and barely finds anything to write about *

[tee]

I feel like I've learnt more from this one video than all of my english lessons

[PeeaaaK]

I was watching this video the night before my English mock, and the next day we were given the exact same paper and source! I actually got a pretty decent grade as well for the first time ever. Thank you, Mrs Whelan! Lol :-)

At this stage I would be willing to be happy with a grade 4 😂😭

Structure question can sometimes be very hard- sometimes I mix it up with language! How can you tell the distinct difference between the language and structure in the extract.

You are such a helpful tutor for this! This is like a goldmine. I’ve never been confident, only getting like 5 or 6 at most on these questions. But I’ve never been able to get into a mindset of how to look for the techniques and how to develop that into a paragraph. Mock today, watching this in the morning, wish me luck!

I got my exams in the summer and I've never taken GCSE English before. I'm 19, on an ECP and currently taking a course in Electrical Installation. English has never interested me nor do I see it being important. Let me explain why I don't see it being important. To me, having an English GCSE isn't that important when it comes to being an Electrician or Carpenter; who needs to be able to break down the structure of an extract from a book when being a carpenter? None. What they need are core English skills that everyone needs. That's why a lot of trades people have Functional Skills English Levels 1&2.

Most people in the trades, that I know of, never passed GCSE English and some didn't take it, but they pull in about 30k a year doing carpentry, mechanics and such.

As a note: I'm self-taught when it comes to English. Never bothered with it in school, I just taught myself everything I need to know so I have no troubles with job applications; getting work; having conversations; or writing an email/text. What is also shocking is the amount of people who have passed their GCSE English but are still fucking terrible at it. Ironic.

[fardosagulaid]

[keepsmiling]

I had a nightmare that i didnt know what to write in my english exam thats why im here

[StuartFuckingLittle]

I spent way too much time in my mocks trying to be articulate with my words, and ended up writing 1/4 of what I could of written. It's really about simplicity..

[juu]
