Thanks for this vid . But can you please do a video on 7a and 7b, I looked through your previous videos but I havenn't seen a model answer on you answering 7a and 7b.

[@HA-wd2pu]

Thanks So Much!!! This had helped boost my confidence for the Exam tomorrow in a way i didn`t think it could for English.

[@FirstRateTutors]

Glad I could help!

[@hope6568]

Thank you so much for this, the choices were either a speech and article and I chose speech since I was so confident because of you🥰 I remembered all your techniques and your structure and it went so well thank you so much for what you do♥️♥️♥️

how did you find the paper overall?

[@FirstRateTutors]

Aaaaaah I love that and you’re welcome ❤️❤️

[@hope6568]

@@menaa4096 It was all equally good it was just the time I had trouble managing so I had to skip the 14 marker before the transactional writing which isn’t good but I don’t feel that bad about it because I know that 40 marker will carry🤞🏽Wbu?

[@MeredithJack130]

An amazing video once again. Really helped me revising for mock examinations. Just a question: do you not think it is slightly unrealistic that in 40 minutes we can write something of that standard and as long as you did. Do you mind me asking whether you spent 40 minutes?

[@niamhcaitlin9252]

Hi, although it is advised to spend 45-50 minutes on this question, you can spend longer if you get the other questions done quickly. But do not rush as there is plenty of time in the exam. Hope this helped and good luck with your mocks 😊❤

[@Keenan.64]

Thank you i've got my november exam resit in 2 days

[@suunwoo]

Hey thank you for this video!! Also, do we have to used advanced vocab for transactional writing and if so, what kind words do you recommend learning?

[@FirstRateTutors]

Yes try so - watch my vids on advanced vocabulary where I suggest a few words: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYjLm6CQqaebj8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn7CppmiZtNkeZo

[@suunwoo]

@@FirstRateTutors Thank you so much! these vids are really helpful

[@alantr2856]

Hi, awesome video you created! Just out of wonder, if I were to wrote an article, is it required for me to write in past tense throughout? Or present tense? NEED HELPPP :/

[@supeaa1090]

shouldn't you be using ambitious vocab and more language and structure devices?

[@codysmith6225]

There is. Ambitious vocab such as "plethora" and "skeptical" has been implemented for a more sophisticated tone. There's also a lot of structural and language techniques, such as rhetorical questions, "what are the ways I can volunteer?"; tricolons, "children's charities, animal charities, homeless charities"; hypophora, "What is it? It is your duty."; alliteration, "down and depressed". There is also of course varying sentence structures and collective pronouns, also direct address such as "you". Also, there are numerous good ways in which there has been attempts to empathise with the listener (especially towards the end) when she says things like "you may struggle". You don't need to constantly use ridiculously impressive words to maintain a high level of sophistication/tone, however I do agree that you should use as ambitious vocabulary as you can IF it suits the tone and you are fully aware of the definition of the word (plus its spelling) in relation to the context of what you're writing.

[@沈啧啧]

can anyone tell me how many words I should write for transactional writing and imaginative writing？ thank you so much!

LOVE YOU!! (maybe more than my parents 🤭) I hope i do well tmrw!!

[@eyanke2480]

nah thats crazy

[@MuhammadAbdullah-st2jb]

I agree that you shouldn't say "im writing to you because.." but when it comes to writing a letter It may be acceptable to say things like "this letter discusses" "I'm informing you" or "I'm writing to you solely on the reason..". So you can use it but only at the start and it has to be brief.

[@FirstRateTutors]

Yes that works too! Just try not to make your writing too boring, you don't want to put your examiner to sleep 😊

[@mohammedismail-cy4ip]

can you do a video on question 7 edxcel please?

[@FirstRateTutors]

I'll try but not 100% sure. Have you watched my previous Question 7 vids?

[@oldstylejoystick5461]

Thank you so much! You’re a life saver

[@FirstRateTutors]

You're welcome 😃

[@georgesmith138]

Will you be marked down if you don’t write the address and the subheadings for the article

[@FirstRateTutors]

There's no negative marking so you won't be marked down - don't worry!

[@aliasmimi4551]

can you write in an informal tone to entertain?

[@FirstRateTutors]

Not too informal. One or two informal words but you'll be penalised if it's all informal.

[@casseynyanganga4637]

[@FirstRateTutors]

You shouldn't sweat it! With EDEXCEL you're lucky as you get a choice, so if you don't like the letter question, do the other one.

@@FirstRateTutors Okay thank you very much, i have my mocks in a week, and i have 2 language papers and 1 literature paper. However before my english teacher said we wouldn't do any literature paper for our mocks so i didn't revise for it and focused on language instead. But yesterday i found out that infact i do have a literature paper which will be based on macbeth and inspector calls. I have revised for macbeth for my last mocks and i also did jekyl and hyde, however this mocks i am doing macbeth and inspector calls which i havn't prepared for inspector calls. My mocks start next week and so im wondering if there is any quotes you could give me for inspector calls. I am stressing out a little bit and if there is any tips for inspector calls please let me know. Thank you so much!
