this was really helpful thank you!

[@muhammadkiani8359]

Thank you so much sir. I have learnt a lot. Good explanation of questions.

[@aqkzz808]

Urgent question, my teacher told me the story has to be realistic and something that would have happened to you in real life, wouldn’t this be going against that?

[@BPCEnglish]

It’s suggested you do something realistic but it’s not a rule.

[@aqkzz808]

@@BPCEnglish would you get marks deducted for it if so how many ?

[@BPCEnglish]

None at all. Like I say, it’s not a rule. It’s more that realistic stories give your narrative a bit more of an authentic feel. However, if you can come up with a more outlandish story, that is still believable and very descriptive, you will still get a very high mark.

[@BPCEnglish]

Mine is based on the last James Bond film! Do what you like!

[@GurjaapSinghSandhu]

@@BPCEnglish do you think i would get marked down for it?

[@GurjaapSinghSandhu]

[@GurjaapSinghSandhu]
