if anyone is structuring their revision very precisely, I would recommend watching the video on a higher playback speed - 1.5* seems exactly the same (you still take in info if you're concentrating) and just allows you to save around 16 mins of watching. *1.75 and 2 are better for saving time, obviously, but I find that it makes the video go a bit too fast

I'd actually prefer it if you left in the commas, helps me better understand the sentence structure. I think it better trains me in how to think while writing sentences in general, which I think wouldn't be something specific to me.

[@legendgamerxz1833]

How many effective and detailed paragraphs would you need to write for question 2,3,4 and 5 if you're aiming for the top grade?

[@amberh5]

It’s honestly up to you, depending on writing speed, how much time you have left and how detailed your paragraphs actually are, but I always try to aim for two comparisons on the summary (q2) but they are shorter because it’s just inferences and not zooming in, three paragraphs in Q3 and two detailed comparisons (can be set out as 4 paragraphs) in question 4. As for Q5 it depends on the structure you like to follow, I tend to do around 4 paragraphs and a one line paragraph. Good luck if you have your exam tomorrow too! :)

@@_anime_shawty7654 I get what you feel about that feeling of panic but doing nothing at all is worse than doing badly at first (and eventually improving). start that paper even if you end up despising what you write - note what makes you despise it after and use that as a stepping stone for improvement.

[@perelerubin6002]

This is amazing as always! Just had a quick question. You said that it might be helpful to begin with question 3 as it only deals with a part of the text, however then you move on to question 4 and say that there's an advantage because I would have read the whole of source A already? Do you mind clarifying? Thanks so much!

[@pearllyyys.740]

I think it’s because he read the whole source before starting q3

[@Zaidysgirl]

Mr salles recommends doing q3 then going back to question 2. Thus by question 4 you’ve read both sources and can more easily answer the question. Good luck and I hope this helps

As usual, what I learned in today's class is for me to focus more on structuring to build with correct detail of information about what the examiner is asking to be answered with the information on the paper ✏️ I continue to be as focused as possible and with such excellence in learning classes like these, my confidence in today's organizing of thoughts into a better perspective of how to view them as parts of a whole is one way to think to describe it but them my mind goes into thinking about formulas to be learned in math studies which I might study later because these leaps of convenience with I am now gonna order an intimidating workbook that I hesitated in purchasing because it a very popular one and everyone seems to bet an advantage with the same kinds of extraction with literary terms and how to interpret better while reading And I get that in every one of your literature studies but of I practice the workbook I mentioned with mentioning the book because not appropriate and used by a lot of homeschoolers, to say the least, but after learning in this video what I realize as watching to learn. The study area I need to strengthen and I shall purchase that book along with the ones I have plans to purchase of your fit a while but this next book order I know which of your I need which is most of them and again I study in Paris for the whole of things because I have so many different subjects to get the good grace for my educational goals of more years than I don't count anymore I just read as often as possible to strengthen too I might have said a chatter of something in thought but just wanted to say Another great class as usual and thank you for having sick great classes for learning to attend for those better grades with the right focus on getting even better with focusing on what is being asked to write for the grade Something like that and again Today's class is great! And I got to study that vocabulary in thesaurus because it was not just great but another great studious vocabulary word I build that too, in the meanwhile I have to say a word often said too much but I mean a more a studious word In the meanwhile not too repetitive, but said in study order like learning that is social and capitalism in structure to think for an advance for "an advance in grades" trying to think of quotes I think you have said in many videos I shall keep trying and thank you and may you have a great day as you give to others trying to make the grades in advance with what you are kind enough to teach to the learners with the best humanity of the lead Sincerely, just a struggling student trying to make the best of my grades with your video of classes bring it!
