This section provides detailed guidance for handling the more complex questions, particularly focusing on structural analysis and evaluation techniques.
Definition Structural terminology includes elements like shifting focus, zooming in/out, and time shifts that show how the text is organized.
Example In Question 4, a strong response might begin "I completely agree with the statement because the writer's use of vivid imagery creates a powerful sense of..."
Highlight The evaluation question (Q4) requires a clear stance - either agree or disagree - supported by both language and structural analysis.
The final page covers Section B, detailing both descriptive and narrative writing approaches with specific structural guidance.
Definition Narrative structure consists of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.
Example For descriptive writing, start with a broad perspective (zoom out) before focusing on specific details in subsequent paragraphs.
Highlight The narrative option allows for either first or third-person perspective, with the possibility of starting in medias res (in the middle of action).
This page details the fundamental approach to Section A of Paper 1, outlining specific strategies for questions 1-4. The focus is on developing English Language Paper 1 reading strategies through structured response techniques.
Definition PEALE paragraph structure stands for Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link, Effect - a systematic approach to constructing analytical responses.
Vocabulary Key terminology includes dynamic verbs, zoomorphism, juxtaposition, and pathetic fallacy - essential language features for analysis.
Example For Question 2, a sample approach might be "The writer uses metaphorical language to describe the setting, shown when they write . This suggests..."
Highlight Question 2 requires careful selection of quotes that offer depth for analysis, focusing on language techniques rather than structural elements.
