Take 11 Steps to Grade 9 Essays (ft A Christmas Carol)

[@YESorN0]

Thank you. Your videos are very helpful for revision for my upcoming GCSEs.

[@FelicityWard-wr3vm]

thank you so much for your help sir, I went from a 6 to a 9 in both Lit and Language in my recent mocks, on Macbeth and the Inspector Calls, and english language paper 1

this is insanely helpful. I’m watching this the evening before my exam (Y10 prelim) but I can already see how much this combination of techniques could help me in the future. in my end of Y9 prelim I only got a grade 4, which is still the lowest grade I’ve ever got in anything, but for the prelim tomorrow I could be looking at a grade 7 if I can properly utilise these techniques. not a clue what the question will be on, but my school generally try to be lenient with the papers that they choose, meaning I should be safe to memorise a few key ideas and do pretty well. thanks a lot for helping everyone!

Hello, Mr. Salles, could you please make a video talking more about the punctuation: hyphens, en dashes, em dashes, colons, an rounded brackets? I would like to know more about the rules of each punctuation so that I could vary my punctuation in my essay writing. Also, are there any tips and tricks for the fluency of the writing and sentence structure? Thank you for the video and your help!

[@TrsTrs-b9y]

Mr Salles I have a question how could you did say we should find parts in text which can be used for any question, but I don't understand that as how could ignorance and want link to isolation or joy and happiness. Could you please explain that to me?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Sure. How do a lack of education and poverty both prevent happiness and joy?

[@TrsTrs-b9y]

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Thank you for explaining, do you think the topic of fatherhood or childhood could come up this year?

[@Felixwas_there]

The question goes, ● Starting with this extract, explore how Dickens presents ideas about joy and happiness in A Christmas Carol.Write about how Dickens person joy and happiness in this extract. How dickens person ideas about joy and happiness in the novel as a whole

Hello Sir! I saw your other videos as well. But this video does not include a plan for an essay on ACC, Can you kindly put the plan for this essay, which means the main idea of ACC gives us high marks. Many thanks.

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Copy and paste the transcript into ChatGPT and ask it to write you the plan

[@Varshiniiiii19]

That's great, thanks a lot:)

[@ooneyooser2967]

what exam boards this for?

[@vintagesims2748]

Can you do one of theese for mcb?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

I think I can!

[@Emily_ru55]

Is the 3 part thesis statement just for the intro?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Yes, it replaces the introduction.

[@Emily_ru55]

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish okay fab thanks also you’ve helped me so much with language and lit 😄

[@JayMMA01]

Does anyone know if Mr Salles' books are good?

[@hamnaali4977]

They are amazing! But only if you use his notes in your essay. I've had horrible English teachers for 2 years so I taught myself nearly everything and his guides helped me go from a 5 in year 10 to 8s and 9s now!

[@michaelswahla4927]

do you HAVE to write a thesis

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

No, you can make the question harder by not writing one
