This is coming from a Year 10 GCSE student, but I really recommend that instead of using ‘shows’, you use words and phrases such as ‘derives connotations of’, ‘portrays’, ‘conveys’, ‘we can infer’, ‘evokes’, ‘alludes’, ‘connotes’, ‘crystallises’, ‘delineates’, ‘projects’, etc. These are words off the top of my head that my teacher very strongly recommends to use instead of shows. Aside from that, Thankyou for the advice!
Correct, mr Bruff makes tons of videos about one question and ends up confusing you. Shows little examples and when he does, most of them are from the same question/paper. However Mrs Whelan only writes one example paragraph and this is very unhelpful as well.
Mr bruff just goes on an on talking about the past and how well the students sitting exams the year before did he puts his effort in his animations he should put them in actually writing and explaing what to do
when i started watching your videos, it boosted my confidence, and then when i went to do my paper 1 English Language i went from a 4 - 6 , idk how happy and grateful for this, ty so much Mrs Wheelan you rlly helped me so much
Btw IF YOU ARE IN YEAR 10 (14/15 years old) I'VE GOT A LIFE SAVING TIP FOR EXAMS!!! SPEND FOUR DAYS OF YOUR YEAR 10 LIVES MAKING REVISION CARDS FOR THINGS LIKE SCIENCE AND GEOGRAPHY AND KEEP THEM AND MAKE THEM AS NEAT AS YOU CAN BECAUSE IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO WILL LEAVE YOUR REVISION TO THE LAST MINUTE YOU WILL ONE DAY REALLY NEED THOSE REVISION CARDS AND DONT THINK MEH I WILL MAKE THEM IN YEAR 11 BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY WILL BE TOO LAZY AND HAVE NO MOTIVATION TO DO THEM IN YEAR 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPREAD THE MESSAGE XD
Serenity Moon thankyou for the message haha, definitely worth noting. Im gonna make all my revision cards in the summer holidays before I go in year 11.
Kainat Tariq Please do because I made so many mistakes I kept on saying to myself that I would do it but each day I left it to the next day and it never got done XD
Serenity Moon trust me - I did that but I remade them all, it's surprising how much intelligence you gain in a year honestly. my revision skills were also terrible when I was 15 😩
it is true. i am currently in yr 11 now and i am struggling with revision and obtaining old knowledge especially from science.If u are in yr 10 star revising now,i guarantee it will be worth the effort
Dear Mrs Whelans, I so greatful and I'd like to say big thank you. yours was the only online teaching I stick to since January till my exam day even though I'm not a English native speaker and today, I got my GCSE results with grade 4. I'm so thankful, it's my first attempt and I passed. God bless you. I wish I could send you flowers if you allow me 🤗🤗
Using this to revise and do homework for the mock exams i have on monday (also my birthday...) thank you for making these and making it easy to understand.
Hi Mrs Whelan Thank for the example paragraph, I must say you have been an angel in the form of a human as you have been a massive help this year definitely staying subscribed.
Thanks so much it has helped me structure my answers better and has made me realise the things I can add to my answers that can help get me more marks.
just wanted to say I’ve found your videos extremely helpful in looking at specifically how to answer each question. while my teacher does a lot of past papers with us and marks them, I’m not always entirely sure what’s relevant for each question and it’s not brought up much at school
Mr Bruff makes things sometime easy and I think his videos are for grade 6-9 and urs is just amazing it's like grade 1-7 but you make things more easier to explain which is really good :D
hey I just wanted to say how amazing your videos are - only found them shortly before paper one but you gave me a big confidence boost! thank you so much :D
wow, this video actually really helped me out and made me feel a lot more confident with approaching this question.thank you so much and keep up the good videos as they are really really helpful. :-)
For my mock I was stupid and didn’t revise , in the car however I used one of your videos , nd I managed to get 10/12 on it nd only the highest ppl in the class got that , the rest I did bad on , so it just shows how much ur videos help So I will be using them for the real thing so tahhhh
thank you so much, i have my english language paper 2 mock tomorrow and i've struggled with paper 2 since i first started learning it but now i'm starting to understand
I wrote this paragraph for question 2 what do u think any advise? If you have the time in your presumably hectic routine Thanks. Firstly, source A and Source B present difficulties at sea with contrasting mind-sets and perspectives as in source A we are told there was a 'mutiny' and Fletcher acts in a 'alarming' and 'disrespectful' manner. This suggesting that the men on board were against 'Captain Bilge' claims despite the lavishes that he provides 'tasty surprise...jig or two...well-drenched rum cake'. Here the write present difficulties at sea in a lighter manner compared to source B who presents Life at sea as a 'violent' and 'most dangerous' thing she has ever done. This suggest that it's not 'difficult to break bone' showing the severity and ferocity of the sea and harsh condition the writer is in. Here both Source A and B present differing mind-set and attitude towards difficulties at sea. Furthermore both source A and B have different attitude at sea for example in source A it says 'found to be rife with errors'. Here suggesting there were mistake and errors in the charts of north and south Atlantic however these mistake and errors do not lead directly to death contrasted by Source B where one error can lead to a fatal and catastrophic end despite wearing a 'helmet' and the long 'agonised hours' she spent preparing as ultimately it is not 'difficult to break bones up there' suggesting that life at sea in Source B is more dangerous and violent leading and could lead to a painful death compared to errors in a chart. Both sources presenting different attitude towards difficulties at sea.
I find it so much easier to learn from what other people do than with someone spending hours and hours of my life pointlessly trying to explain it to me. This is because after about half a minute of listening to a teacher all I can hear is blablabalbalbalbablablbalblbla so thanks for this video.
Serenity Moon i feel the same way. Its because I wanna know what goes through someones mind when they are answering the question properly so I can in the same way too
Thank you so much just watched this video first video of yours going to watch all paper 2 and then chill as I don't want to over do it been watching Mr gruff for half an hour too.I feel it's helped I would've probably wrote the adjective shows hahaha good luck everyone
For the a "night from hell" quote would it make sense to say the weather was so bad it was seen as something so strong and powerful that it can be sent by only god or a some supernatural being .... And that the weather was so bad it was almost make belief and unrealistic
That’s the issue, you’re analysing the quote for a deeper meaning and representation. AO1 is about the implicit and explicit content, talking about what the weather causes and how it effects the subjects in the text. Developing interpretations of meanings and allusion is largely AO2 which is for questions 3 and 4
My exam is tomorrow and I am sitting here learning how to write a effective / model answer. I will recommend that MR BRUFF is a really good teacher just search it up and you will see what I mean, it will help you a lot.
Lmao not really. One paragraph is equivalent to 2 to 3 marks, she only did a single long paragraph which you don't do in the exam unless you have fast hands
I know its not from this extract and i dint write it however my writing is very similar. If i wrote this how many marks would this achieve? Aberfan is a small village that ‘few people have heard of’. It is ‘tucked away’ in a Welsh valley. This suggests that it is almost hidden from view and would have been similarly forgotten in history had it not been for the tragedy. In contrast, London is described as a ‘colossal city’. It implies it is huge and filled with activity. A place that is so large that it should be safe from a natural disaster like an earthquake. Whilst both also have rivers running through them, in Aberfan it is ‘black as the Styx’ which differs from London with its ‘great river’. It is implied that in Aberfan its blackness comes from the natural seeping coal, but with London, it is ‘muddy and dull’ because of man-made waste from the many warehouses along its length.
You could of mentioned the biblical illusion with ' night from hell' instead of just referring to it as a bad experience. I have my exam tomorrow - good luck to everyone sitting thier's !

Haslamian Empire thanks for that, you might've just helped me get another mark. Worth it ✌🏿️ So thanks !
I would avoid using words like connotates over shows as connotates has a different meaning.
cake_assasin Connotes means to indirectly associate with, so could be used instead of ‘shows’ repeatedly. I would still use other words though
