- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- In this video, I take you through THREE #directedwriting past papers, looking at each of the text types: LETTER, ARTICLE, SPEECH.
I strongly recommend you practising each of the three.
It's a long video, but hopefully worth it!

My FLE paper 2 is tomorrow and I just want to take a moment to truly thank you for the efforts you are putting in to make sure students have the right knowledge to sit through the paper without feeling nervous or unprepared. I hope you keep making videos and helping students reach their goals!
Thank you and best of luck with tomorrow! ❤
Been here since 2 years and tomorrow is my exam. I always wondered that one day you'd post a video that directs towards my exam. I remember making a joke that my teacher makes us write 15 points in summary (it was true but i wrote it a long time ago and you replied). Can't believe I'm finally at the end of the year and watching your video as the last thing before tomorrow's exam. Thank you so much. Will be here soon enough and recommend to my fellow juniors.
Hi sir.
I have been watching u for ages and went from flunking to getting amazing grades thanks to u> I just want to say keep up the good work and keep helping the generations to come>
Love from India
Thanks for the lovely comment !
Thank you so much, sir. You've been like a guiding angel to us and will forever be. My last time on this channel but wont ever forget you and your efforts ❤💞
Thank you and good luck!
God freaking bless you man! I've been looking for guides for paper 22. you earned a sub
🙏
Teacher Ash does it again! This is the definitive Directed Writing video for any student. (Hope you get better soon)
Thanks - gotta admit, this video killed me a little. Took a lot of brain power 😅
When are your students sitting their finals? Can’t believe I’ve only got mine for a few more weeks before they start study leave.
Thank you so much man for everything my paper 2 is tomorrow!
@@PranitXD Good luck, my friend. 💪

You will Always be missed!! I made it, I guess…
u saved me again sir
Can I use fiction with good vocab .. plss reply
What do you mean?
@@IGCSESUCCESS I mean do I fetch the same marks for writing a fiction
Or is it better to write a non fiction to fetch more marks .. cuz my school senior told me not to make things look fiction I may lose marks .... soo is it tru
This is a directed writing question video. You need to evaluate whatever writing piece you're given. Whether speech articles etc. Based on the question.
Paper 2 Question 2 you have a choice between narrative or descriptive writing. You have to write based on the statement given.
@@samreenzubair7428 I think your teacher is perhaps referring to writing from personal experience so there being an element of truth to your narrative - yes - I’d recommend it.
Thank you so much for this!!!
You’re welcome! Grab a notebook and get comfy; it’s a long one 😅
Amazing Video! do you have any videos on tips for narrative writing on paper 2
I have watched you for tha past 2 years and tomorrow it will all be over, it feels good and bad at the same time. Thank you for your lessons IGCSE SUCCESS 🫡😭😭
All the best and good luck for tomorrow!
@@IGCSESUCCESS Thank you so much, it means a lot
Thank you so much for this video. One question though, for narrative essay, is it ok for me to write a fictional story with a hefty dash of fantasy? or does it need to be pretty believable and real?
I would keep it real.
@@IGCSESUCCESS ok. thank you again
my glorious king
💪
Thank you so much! I was really struggling on how to go about these text types and you've explained them really well. So thank you for your efforts! Hope you get well soon. Also, if an article topic comes up, is it ok to write 'In my opinion' in the final paragraph?
I would avoid.
Hi, I have a question! Is it ok to copy a few words from the text like when you took the word casual?
Yup - just use your own words as much as possible.
@@IGCSESUCCESS Thank you so much sir! Get well soon!
Last time watching @IGCSESUCCESS. You've been a guide we never knew we needed...
Hello. I just have one question. Should we evaluate the 2 texts in 2 separate paragraphs or compare them side by side like in 2 sentences?
Either approach works.
this still comes in my fyp after finsihing the exam last june 😭😭
anyways guys hes THE GOAT for fle (and @taughtly)
got an A from watching both (and practicing ofc)
the last time i am visiting this channel. i don't know whether to be happy or sad.
@@ambrose1111 😢
Love you!you made me subscribe just by the title?
Quick question does going beyond the word limit also apply for the narrative writing and how many words extra should I aim for
The word count is suggested; you don’t get penalised for going over - just stay focused on the question. Spend one hour on each and write as much as you can within that hour.
@@IGCSESUCCESS What if I'm able to write 500 or more words in that hour?
@IGCSESUCCESS i had a query, in the 1st question of the directed writing, shall we talk on both sides and conclude with the one we support, or we should support only one side and write all pros about it?
Balanced argument and then for the bullet point two you can lean more to one side of the argument.
@@IGCSESUCCESS that helped, Khop Khun
@ Chok Dee na 🙏
last English paper tomorrow. thank u @IGCSESUCCESS for always being a part of my remarkable scores. Moreover,
this is your final video I’ll watch. Gracias Amigo!
Best of luck, my friend - do let me know how you get on come results day ❤️
@@IGCSESUCCESS ABSOLUTELY, u r my online non live teacher
how many words do u suggest we write cuz my teacher was telling me that if u write more than 350 words the words over word limit doesnt get marked
Write as much as you can in the hour that you have.
Having been a marker myself, this is not the case… and never has been the case.
Good luck! 👍
@@IGCSESUCCESS thanks
@@IGCSESUCCESS ohh! awsmm, i was oblivious to this
Thanks for your support in my fle :D
any other tips for paper 2 tmr?
@@skynetteddragon9965 In terms of composition, if you are going to choose the descriptive writing task - aim for contrast, irrespective of the question; you don’t want it all to be one note.
For example: If it asks you to describe a beach, you might spend some time describing the idyllic and picturesque nature of the beach, but then you might describe a sinister cloud looming and everything changes.
Use the photograph methods.
Wide angle shot
Zoom in 1
Zoom in 2
Zoom out shot
Four detailed paragraphs.
@@IGCSESUCCESS Thank so much :D
Hello sir, what do you think will come for question 1?
Usually, it’s a different text type to the one you received for paper 1 q3 - but not always.
@@IGCSESUCCESS Okay, thanks a lot
Thank you, my fle paper is tmrw
I have my exam tomorrow thank you so much for your help!
Good luck, my friend 😇
HI, i think i messed up my paper 1. Is it possible to get 35+ in both so in total it comes to 70 to get an A?
I MADE IT!!!
Woohoooo!
Thank you sir
What are the sources for improving our directed writing. Like any book, websites etc
THANK YOU MY PAPER IS TMRW
@@trex6936 you’ve got this! 💪
@@IGCSESUCCESS thx
For narrative my teacher told me to write based on one scene and not a continuous sequence of events, (for example getting selected for nationals then going to finals and winning for a sports) instead she said just talk about 1 scene like doing nationals. Is it okay to write a sequence of events or not?
One scene but focus on different aspects - you can still create a sense of moment.
I call it the photograph method.
Wide angle shot: Describe things from afar
Zoom in shot 1: focus on one particular detail
Zoom in shot 2: focus on another detail
Zoom out shot: describe things from afar again but maybe the atmosphere has changed - daylight to nighttime, for example.
@@IGCSESUCCESS Thank you
thank you soo much
Hello.I'm writing my paper 2 tomorrow and I just wanted to clarify; since we only need to identify six explicit points from both the texts how do we get the other nine marks for content ?
Thank you so much for all your efforts, sir. Couldn't have done FLE without you ! Hope you feel better soon
Hi,
Similarly to paper 1 q3, you need a range of ideas - you do not get a point per mark - this is often erroneous information passed on by teachers.
Six is fine providing you evaluate them well! ;)
Oh I didn't know that. Thank you so much
im cramming harder than the subject
I MADE ITT
Hey so I am writting the feb march series 2025 and I have my writting paper tmr. The reading paper was really hard and I wanted to personally know what cambridge examiners generally look for in narrative writting.
1: Unique features which differentiate my paper from other candidates
2: I heard examiners like the start and ending to be kind of the same so I had thought about an ending and it goes somewhere along the line
so here I am writting a narrative about (title of story) which goes like ..... (my first line)
3: A plain prompt from which I can transform any story.
if you could give me tips and suggestions on the following 3 bullet points it would be really helpful
Hmm…
1. Something not overly complicated but has some shape to it - a cyclical structure, as you mentioned, works nicely. Accuracy is really, important, too - try and ensure your spelling, punctuation and grammar is as good as it can be. A few ambitious words chucked in for effect will certainly help as well.
2. Yeah, I like that idea… I have done something similar in the past with one of my narrative videos.
3. Not quite sure what you mean.
Good luck!
@@IGCSESUCCESSThank you so much for the help
the third point basically meant if you could suggest a skeleton plot for my narrative which I can possibly adapt for any title
I MADE IT
