[@abigailanna7910]

Can't believe how simple you have made the writer's effects. Will they really not penalise you for having such a predictable outline like the one you've given? Thank you so much for making this available. Just amazing.

[@Taughtly]

Thank you! Nope, they don't penalise for being formulaic because it's marked in the same manner. As an examiner, honestly I love it when a student ticks off in order what's on my mark scheme - makes the job easier!

[@unjagged29]

Summary Writing: Cambridge adores planning, especially in ECR which shows command of a student. Will it waste my time? Cause just moving pages after each splash second is just time waste. Plus, then it will go ahead of 1 page.

[@unjagged29]

Please, make a video on how to handle stress, anxiety before and till the result. Last year, I had to appear for some of my CAIE and the experience was awful while studying. Before that, I did not handle anxiety at all, slept less, ate less food and sometimes even got 12-13 hours of studying but in vain.I fear, this year may not happen the same and this agony finally vanishes. Most people make videos "You are more then a piece of paper". If I want to go to Cambridge, etc they would still look in.

[@Sanan10]

Hey! I'm very curious to ask. There was a talk question in P1 and I followed the Format of speech/article mix and applied diff techniques. Although everything went well but I gave a journal heading at top and started with date. How much marks will get deducted?

[@Taughtly]

Hard to answer that without seeing your paper. You likely lost a couple of marks at least for appropriate register, but remember that register is only one element of the writing mark scheme. You also get marked on your vocabulary, clarity and flow of your language so it shouldn't destroy your overall score hopefully!

[@Sanan10]

​@@Taughtlyyeah like I followed the format of speech but didn't end with a thank you, instead gave a polite ending but yeah more than 5 marks can be deducted for just writing a journal at top and starting with a date?

[@Sanan10]

And yes I won't lose my 15 marks of content points, right?

how should I start my summary?

[@HannahLAVER09R]

Hi Sarah, for question 3 (Directed writing question), to get the 'details' points, are we allowed to copy from the text? Thanks Sarah for the encouraging video!

[@Taughtly]

Hi Hannah :) I would recommend that you try to use your own words as much as possible. You do lose marks for "lifted material" on the writing mark scheme (directly copied words/phrases). Especially once you're copying phrases of 3+ words, it would start to pull down your mark. Of course, there are some very precise words that you can't really use a synonym for, like "table". You wouldn't change it to "console", "cabinet" or "four-legged piece of furniture". So in this case, it's okay to copy occasional words that are so specific you can't really reword them. If you want, I have a free paraphrasing lesson that explains different methods of rewriting using your own words. It's only available on my website. You do need to sign up but no need to enter any payment details etc to access: taughtly.co.uk/courses/igcse-first-language-english-paper-1-and-paper-2-revision-course/ You can find that lesson on Summary Writing > Taughtly Exclusive: Paraphrasing Video Lesson

[@HannahLAVER09R]

@@Taughtly Thanks Sarah!

[@Football11914]

I don't really understand what it means when they say " using your own words". should I copy from the text or write my own ?

[@khensi4959]

When an exam or question asks you to “use your own words,” it means that you shouldn’t copy the text exactly. Instead, you need to rephrase it, demonstrating that you understand the meaning. This involves explaining the ideas or information in a way that sounds natural to you, without repeating the exact wording from the original text. You can change key words with synonyms and restructure the sentences, but be careful to keep the meaning the same. For example, if the text says: “The sky was filled with dark clouds.” In your own words, you could say: “There were many dark clouds covering the sky.” This way, you’re showing you understand, but without copying.

I just have a doubt in Q2d).So example if we are unable to find 3 images from each paragraph is it allowed to use other phrases to answer the question?

[@Taughtly]

Hi there! Good question. You should only select three images from the paragraphs you have been given. This is because the examiner can only credit the quotes on the mark scheme, so if you quote from elsewhere then your answer definitely won't be on the mark scheme. So you should pick three images from each paragraph strictly and not quote from elsewhere in the extract. Hope this helps! ☺
