I signed off on question 1 with 'Yours Faithfully' and now I am really worried that it will hinder my chances of getting an A/A*, do you think this will affect my grade?

I HAVE SO MANY Q' :frown:

(
wHAT what the general idea of the text... i didn't touch up on the fact that they won the word thing... and For question 2a i wasn't talking about how the Al was reading it, i was saying that the description emphasize the peace and relaxing in the hotel... and generallypositive things about the hotel
and part b said it was about the dedicaton Al has toward his guest through the effort he put in despite Mr heads arrogant attitude which showed how ungrateful he was

WILL i lose mark?! :O

I put how she would relax, by going around the garden and playing with the stray cat again and reading her books. And also that she would go into town again but without her husband, and she would actually go into the animal sanctuary.

Did anyone write something similar?

Did anyone give the husband a name for question 1? I just kept referring to him as my husband but a few of my friends made up a name!

I ended mine the same, I didn't think it would affect the grade? I wouldn't of thought so anyway? Hopefully not.

Overall a good paper, question two was really hard this time around. Think I got approximately 37-42 marks. Most likely I'll get an A or scrape an A*.

The least is 1... bc it's small plus it's 5 marks for writing skills and i'm sure they'll let it pass

Dw i used AKA (as known as) and i hv no idea why... but everything else writing wise seemed realistic.... how many marks do u think i will lose

I'm really chuffed I think it went really really well, Q1 was a dream with the letter, Q2 I had images for pretty much all of them and Q3 the points seemed really explicit to me, really pleased overall & hopefully secured my A* :h:

Hope everyone else did well!

I'm hoping that it isn't too formal to say to a friend, it should be fine.

No, I don't think this will affect your grade too much. As long as you signed off the letter as Mrs Head or whatever her name was, you should be fine. I didn't. I signed off as myself and my teachers said I'd probably lose a few marks for that😞
