How to get a GCSE Grade 9 in English analysis

[@StreamEnglish]

Stream English is all about pushing your GCSE English Language and Literature skills to a grade 9. One of the best ways to do that is for me to see your work as I use my experience as a teacher and an examiner to give you specific advice. You can submit essay questions you’ve written on the Stream English website; I will then create a video where I mark your work and talk you through how you can improve. Submit your work here: streamenglish.co.uk/submit

If u don’t mind I am in gcse time what grade did u get in English as I am nervous struggling with English

[@QiaoWan-dy3kl]

As a year 9 chinese student inside an incredibly competitive private school, This surpassed many of my English Teacher's lessons. strange how just a random youtube video can be more helpful than expensive education! Keep Up the Good Work!

This is so true! a lot of KZbinrs are able to properly explain things unlike a teacher 😭

[@Afrogirrl]

Omg I’m so happy I just found you! I’m in year 11, and you speak in a way in which i feel as if I’m actually learning? Like other channels it’s just “knowledge” but this one it’s “knowledge that is going into my brain”. I can’t even explain why.

[@StreamEnglish]

Bless you, that's so kind! Glad I can help :)

[@materialgirly]

So helpful! I wasn’t sure how to improve my analysis so this video came up at the right time!

[@ilovekene9697]

I came up with the similie swap too! I also considered it was for the same of rhyme. Thanks for using songs as examples. Makes it more fun.

Good luck!!

[@proudchristian9873]

how did it go?

[@lightningdani6981]

For the quote: "Your apathy is like a wound in salt". Could it also suggest that in the long run, despite the initial breakup being painful, it is what they needed, just like how salt in a wound in painful initially but heals the wound in the long run? And that this may imply that the relationship could have been toxic. This idea is reinforced as "apathy" shows how their partner did not care, highlighting how the relationship and the speaker's partner may have been toxic.

How did you do that WOW

I really appreciate this video .Thank you

[@amog4203]

You’re a goldmine.

[@materialgirly]

English-ish because I’m bored: The use of the metaphor “you’re a goldmine” emphasises the idea of the owner of this channel being valuable and suggests she makes useful content that can be treasured and appreciated by others and all who need it. The idea of gold sets up the reader of this comments idea of wealth and prosperity denoting to the knowledge gained from this content being sacred and of high quality. The writer of this comment also directly addresses the publisher so that the readers focus is outer-directed and has a prime focus on the positive qualities she possesses and the compliment they are giving her. The full stop at the end of the sentence suggests clarity of the the statement being true and the words of the statement being final. The use of a short sentence emphasises the message in a short period of time and gives the readers more time to take in the information of the KZbinr being amazing like a goldmine.

i think it is a bit contradictory, me i am a lyrics hunter, but others are rythm or catchy tune seeker. then sometimes we may get out of music need, until the moment that a tune reenergise one's soul, or drive. by the way, my bow on the pyramidal.

[@testchannel4170]

Can you please do a video on the script of the bee movie?

[@StreamEnglish]

Sorry, I don't support bee-stiality.

[@ufrsn]

I saw it as the apathy being likened to a wound in salt because instead of the salt entering the wound, an external 'attack', they are putting the wound into salt; seemingly purposefully harming themself and the relationship in the process

[@StreamEnglish]

But wouldn't the conscious effort to harm the relationship go against the denotation of apathy as 'not being interested in something'? Or is she suggesting the apathy itself is in fact deliberate?

[@shoukoyeah]

She started with a Hypophora 😮

Hello your videos have helped me a lot you really deserve a lot more subscribers. Could you make a video about subject terminology?

[@StreamEnglish]

Thank you! When you say 'subject terminology', can you be more specific? English has a huge list of subject terminology. That wording is typically found in mark schemes - are you looking for clearer understanding of what exam boards mean when they use that phrase?

[@lirxzy4561]

@@StreamEnglish yes from mark schemes meaning that would be very helpful thanks

Hi Miss, how would you be able to write about patterns in essays, this includes poetry and all other texts?

[@StreamEnglish]

Every kind of text has a pattern. There are LOADS of techniques which count as patterns, but they can vary from text to text. If we take, for example, poetry, here are some patterns you're likely to find: refrain (a pattern of the same line being repeated); rhyme scheme (a pattern of words being rhymed); rhythm (a pattern of the same rhythm being used) etc. etc. On the other hand, if we take plays, our patterns might be more like this: [Character name] uses lots of imperatives to show his power; in this scene, there is repeated use of dramatic irony; the playwright always has the fight scenes happen off-stage. Pattern is just an easy way to summarise the idea of something being done over and over again in a text. Patterns can comes in LOADS of different forms, but if you see something keep happening - it's a pattern and it is worth analysing!

[@aaizaqaiser]

@@StreamEnglish thank you so much Miss, will definitely take this into account particularly for An Inspector Calls and Poetry. Thank you for the videos, I am really loving them!

[@bakii81]

as a year 11 student, by any chance would you say that using the words 'may', could, but, perhaps in your analysis you are reaching those top levels in the mark scheme.

[@StreamEnglish]

it doesn't automatically mean that, but it is certainly a good sign that a student understands how to express themselves in an English essay. Those words become more powerful when being used to evaluate (it could mean this... but it also could mean this...); successful evaluation IS a top of the mark scheme skill.

[@oliverwerrett2585]

Doors or wheels?

Wheels. No question.

How do i analyse tho im in set 1 english year 10 pls help

[@StreamEnglish]

this video is more for when you know how to analyse and want to push yourself to the next level. If you feel lost on how to analyse in the first place, I would recommend this video: 'What is analysis?' kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4vcZ2purNZ3pdU If you're in year 10 then you're at the start of your GCSE journey and have plenty of time to work on your analytical skills. The very fact that you've sought out KZbin videos to try and learn shows you are taking the steps in the right direction - well done!
