What people are saying about GCSE English Language Paper 1 on The Student Room

It wasn’t too bad but I think last years paper was better although I did answer all the questions decently
I did the picture description for question 5

Was anyone else fighting the urge to quote Ozymandias in question 5, or was that just me?
