[@ageeihulki4414]

did not think that the normally serious mr salles would say the sentence " tigloos love to tiggle" in a video! Thanks for your video

[@ageeihulki4414]

can you actually use fictional words like "tiggle" and do you advise to be this playful or should we be more serious?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Only be playful if it fits your writing, not just for the sake of it.

From Ricky .Thank you so much Mr Salles.I did my retake ,one year on for paper two yesterday. It has been a pleasure and even my dad enjoyed watching the KZbin videos covering English language. I did the questions in order on paper two 531 and then two followed by four. even Dad said “I bet you wish you had this guy for your English teacher”. it would be a guarantee pass.Again! thank you Mr Salles.

Hi Mr Salles I was wondering if in the description or story question if you use vocabulary say from another language but to fit your story for example saying Baba instead of dad is that ok or will the examiners hate me?

NO, if it is relevant to your story, they will love it

If the question was write a description of a place that is beautiful could you spend the first page writing about a place that is not beautiful and then imagine you are in a place that is beautiful which you would describe would it count?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

I would start in the unbeautiful place, but keep switching to the beautiful in flashback

[@Princess-qn9vp]

I’m sure I’ve done this one in class before. I knew the picture as soon as it first came on screen.

[@noodleplanks5414]

would this be worth about 40 marks and are you able to manipulate the question to allow for the tour guide feel that is given here? because this is a "narrative" as such and not a story would this still be worth the same in an exam? also your videos are a massive help thank you very much

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Yes, you can do all of this

[@EggPotionFilms]

Your videos are definitely the best for english on yt. No doubt. Not sure what thr tigloo thing was about but i guess thats just part of creative writing and standing out. Also What was the music at the end? Its familiar and i'd like to know the name.

[@yeetusthewise1013]

Wouldn’t the narrator speaking make this more of a narrative piece? Im a bit confused on how much ‘story’ I can add into my descriptive piece tomorrow.

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

No, a story needs lots of events. This narrator is giving a lot of description.

[@itsmebigbert]

HEY GUYS! If anyone's up for it, here's a practice Q5 I did for you guys to mark. Marking always helps you improve! :) The rickety frames of the old house looked as though they were about to fall. There was not a single plank of wood on that unimpressive roof without some type of damage. Tapping my wet boots on the dry concrete path, I made my way towards the shed. The lacklustre appearance of the shed contrasted with the sprawling fields in every direction. The lackadaisical lump of dirt, directly next to the house, lay carelessly as the gentle wind breathed through it. The rain had stopped for the last few days allowing the sparse sunshine to illuminate the prairie. Every flower, which was once gulping for breath under the merciless onslaughts of constant rain, had now blossomed. The mountains were as colossal as ever, like snow-capped guardians watching over the peaceful prairie. Every object in view seemed at harmony - except the house. The wooden structure, which showed signs of once being an ornate and well-decorated building, looked empty. It seemed as if the previous owners had taken away every item alongside the memories and moments shared inside it; leaving it barren. Frighteningly, the two large windows on each end coupled with the wide, steel door in the centre made the house seem like an indignant creature. A creature who had been abandoned and forgotten. The long forgotten house was covered in years and years of 'art' left by reckless teenagers but the steel door looked impeccable (as if it had just been installed). Carefully prising the door open, I stepped in. After taking some seconds to register my surroundings, I began walking to the centre of the room like a moth to the flame. The insipid features of the empty room contrasted heavily with the masterpiece lying directly in the centre. It was a piece of art like no other. Its ornate framing glinted in the few rays of light which shone upon it. The vibrancy of the paint, the detail of the shapes and the flawless composition left me absolutely dumbfounded. Carefully, I used the tips of my fingers to feel the frame which was engrained with floral patterns and encrusted with what seemed to be gold. It was gold. Possibly the purest gold I had ever seen. This gold was not just on the frame but every little detail on the luscious painting was made with gold. I took five steps backwards and stared at the painting in awe. It was an angel, bright with the light of its candour, surrounded by a blissful darkness. It truly was a masterpiece.
