Can someone mark this for me? (10 reps)

Original post by Anthos

It also doesn't seem enough for a 40 mark question; I think you need to at least write a page.

Even a page would probably be considered too short by most examiners! This would really be an introduction at best.

So do I write a short story but like 3 pages?
Because when I write idk how much to write.

Basically, how I see it, you should write about 4 paragraphs, however don't focus on getting to the conclusion really quickly, for example in the first paragraph you could mention the opening mixture of emotions you felt, BUT DON'T rush into the answer. For each paragraph focus on detail about your setting, emotions etc, then, when necessary, move on and paint the imagery in more detail in your other paragraphs. So yes, it's like a short story, but in a LOT more detail. You could do 3 pages, but that would get very boring, stick to 2, maybe 2 and a half.

Yes, two-three pages should suffice.

Exactly, this is like 2 paragraphs. I’d argue this is about 1/6 of what is expected for a 40 marker!

@OP - Lots lots lots more writing!

Hi,
This is far too short, at least 2 A4 pages I think! Sorry! :frown:

This could be a really good introduction though, so is not wasted!
Try to use more ambitious vocabulary, and punctuation.
I presume this is English Lang Paper 1 Q5? PM me if you want more help :smile:

Good luck x

What exam board are you doing? On AQA, the writing questions are Q5 on both papers. Paper 1 is fiction and Paper 2 is non-fiction. And I'm not sure if the marks are the same for your exam board but there are 16 marks for technical accuracy (SPaG) and content (ambitious vocabulary, good sentence structure, etc). Even if you're not good at writing creatively, you can score 16 marks for good grammar.
