This page delves deeper into strategies for Questions 4 and 5 of English Language Paper 1, as well as providing extensive vocabulary for analysis.

Question 4 is referred to as the ACREE question, requiring four PEEL paragraphs. It suggests including a partial disagreement for a more nuanced response.

Highlight: The guidance notes that Question 4 is worth 20 marks, equating to 20 points to be made in the response.

Question 5, the creative writing question, calls for five paragraphs using the START acronym introduced on the previous page.

The page provides a detailed plan for structuring a creative piece:

  1. Beginning ScenesettingScene setting
  2. Build up AnadventureAn adventure
  3. Problem to come across
  4. Resolution
  5. Ending CliffhangerorchangeofeventsCliff hanger or change of events

Highlight: The guidance explicitly warns against using the cliché ending "it had happened to be all a dream."

Example: Some contrasting word pairs include:

  • Concrete vs. Abstract

Page 1: Question Breakdown and Language Techniques

This page focuses on the structure of AQA English Language Paper 1 and provides strategies for approaching each question.

The page begins with the acronym START, which likely represents a method for analyzing texts:

  • S - Sky
  • T - Tiny detail
  • A - Away zoomoutzoom out
  • R - Reaction of weather
  • T - To... was... to

For Question 1, the guidance emphasizes avoiding one-word responses.

Question 2, the language question, requires two PEEL paragraphs. The PEEL structure is explained:

  • P - Point
  • E - Evidence
  • E - Explain
  • L - Link

The page suggests focusing on how the writer changes focus and why.

Highlight: Key language techniques to identify include simile, metaphor, sibilance, alliteration, pathetic fallacy, personification, and the use of quotations.

Question 3, the structure question, calls for two paragraphs that contrast and juxtapose the end to the beginning, potentially identifying a circular structure.

Vocabulary: Juxtapose - to place different things side by side for comparison or contrast.

Example: A circular structure in writing is when the ending links back to or echoes the beginning, creating a sense of completion or continuity.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7.
