English literature and language AQA (food anthology) exam

I chose John Agard Chocolate text and Nigella's transcripts.. hope they were good choices but I wish I could have done one more point for the unseen

Haha good!

It seemed okay. But if I got the purpose wrong I probably messed the whole thing up. How did you find it?

What did you put as the purpose? There were multiple purposes I think so if you even got one that shouldn't be a problem I thought it went okay, at the time I thought it was horrible, but looking back it went okay, just felt like I repeated myself...

For Text A, I said the purpose was to entertain and Text B I said it was to entertain and inform. What did you write?

Hmm, as long as you pointed out different features, I think it should be okay.

Text A I put to entertain, and text B I put to inform also... Yeah, what sort of thing did you point out? If you can remember?

From what I remember, I wrote how they both used syndetic listing, simple sentences, and both use short paragraphs.

For text A, I pointed out the word "corpse" and developed on that. For text B, I talked about the memory of his grandma saying "num num" and expanded on that.

I think that might be all I wrote about, I don't remember.

What did you write?

That's what I spoke about it pretty much, but Just spoke about prepositional phrases connoting more luxury, and also the grandma piece. I'm sure we did okay!

I used Text 4-Grandpa's Soup and Text 30-Little Grey Rabbit for the anthology question! Seem to be the only person at my school not to use the Nigella Transcript though which is a bit worrying :/

Found the unseen difficult as wasn't really sure about purposes!

Yay you chose the exact same texts as me!

Did anyone do the anthology question first?

I did and am a bit worried that my answer booklet will now not make sense as it isn't in chronological order!

As long as you wrote the right question number in the box beside it, it's fine.

Hi, just wondering if anyone did the A-Level English Language and Literature ELLB1F
(Specification B) exam today and if so how did you find it?

That's fine haha, I probably should of mentioned that in the question. Hope your exams go well.

I took a risk and did Grandpa's Soup (enjoyable) and Eating Out (comparison of it not being enjoyable)...

Really hope the risk pays off haha

I did eating out originally but i read the question wrong, it was the preperation\eating being enjoyable, so eating out would be an irrelevant text as eating out is how she found eating out uncomfortable and not enjoyable so i tjink you may have done it wrong. I asked my teacher after my exam about whether i could have done eating out or not and she said no because it doesnt fit into the context of the question:-\ :-\ :-\

Yeah I thought this too. The only saving grace is that I related a lot of it to the actual food so hopefully it should gain me some marks as I related what I said to the question, even if the text wasn't entirely... Oh well, fingers crossed
