GCSE English Language & Literature

A* students, I need urgent help in both language and literature. I just can't 'think-outside-the-box' and be 'sensitive, convincing and insightful'. I really suck at English anyway, but please help me improve my marks in it?

Hey, I'm studying English Literature and Language at A Level, I could try and help? Which texts are you studying?

It might seem that way, but I think you just need a little bit of encouragement and a few ideas to get you started. English is pretty subjective so there's no right answer as you can find new ideas every time you go over a text. You just have to be able to justify your ideas :^_^: Do you have a specific question you're working on at the moment?

To get the higher grades you should use this structure
Point
Evidence (quotations/phrases)
Analyse (Interpretation also an alternate interpretation)
Zoom into language (individual words)
Relate to context

My teacher taught me PEAZR.
