This page focuses on answering Question 2 of English Language Paper 2 Section A, which requires a summary of the differences in the purpose of two texts.
The guidance emphasizes the importance of comparing and contrasting the sources effectively. It highlights that while both sources may have similarities, such as discussing survival on a sinking ship, they often have different approaches and purposes.
Key points for comparison include:
Example: Source A might use phrases like "The following article will outline the steps you should take," while Source B could describe personal experiences with vivid details.
Highlight: It's crucial to identify both similarities and differences between the sources to achieve a balanced comparison.
The page also stresses the importance of using specific quotations from both texts to support the comparison and analysis.
This section provides guidance on answering Question 3 of English Language Paper 2 Section A, which typically focuses on analyzing language in one of the sources.
The page emphasizes the importance of identifying and explaining various language techniques used by the writer to create vivid imagery and evoke emotional responses from the reader.
Key points include:
Vocabulary: Juxtaposition - The act of placing two or more things side by side for comparison or contrast.
Example: The analysis of the phrase "the soul of the truly courageous but tender-hearted veteran" demonstrates how contrasting adjectives create a complex character portrayal.
Highlight: It's essential to explain not just what language techniques are used, but also their impact on the reader and how they contribute to the writer's purpose.
The guidance stresses the importance of using specific quotations and analyzing them in detail to support arguments and demonstrate a deep understanding of the text.
This page continues the guidance on analyzing language for Question 3 of English Language Paper 2 Section A and begins to transition into skills needed for Question 4.
The focus is on developing more sophisticated analysis skills and preparing for the comparison question. Key points include:
Example: The analysis of the phrase "his eyes raised on high, and the next moment he sunk as if in the icy embrace of death" demonstrates how metaphors and vivid imagery create a dramatic and emotional description.
Highlight: It's important to consider how different language techniques work together to create an overall effect on the reader.
The page also introduces the concept of analyzing writers' attitudes, which is crucial for Question 4. It emphasizes the need to identify how language choices reflect the writer's perspective on the subject matter.
This final page focuses on answering Question 4 of English Language Paper 2 Section A, which requires a comparison of the methods used by writers in both sources.
The guidance emphasizes the importance of:
Example: Source A might use rhetorical questions for direct address, such as "But would you know what to do if you were on a sinking ship?", while Source B could use vivid first-person descriptions.
Highlight: It's crucial to explain how the different methods used by each writer contribute to their overall purpose and effect on the reader.
The page stresses the importance of structuring the response clearly, with each paragraph focusing on a specific comparison point and including evidence from both sources.
Vocabulary: Rhetorical questioning - A figure of speech in the form of a question asked to make a point rather than to elicit an answer.
The guidance concludes by reminding students to consider the overall impact of the writers' methods on the reader's understanding and engagement with the texts.
