English Lang Paper 2 AQA - Thoughts

I thought it went quite well.. what did everyone else think?

eh.. hard to say. Section A was alright, but i dont think i compared the poems as much as i should have, i mainly just wrote about each of them. And section B was going quite well until i realised i was using too much persuasive language instead of explanatory language :/

crap crap crap

The poems bit went alright though my conclusion was crap and I wrote a few massive paragroups comparing instead of alot of normal sized ones.

The describe bit was going well untill I realised I'd ran out of time >___________________________<
I finished but I didn't have time to check anything, so theres a 99% chance there are several things in there that don't make any sense :biggrin:

Poems went really well, writing to describe - not really sure. My response was very random, so I hoped the examiner wants to see randomness =0

arghh this question was horrible how did they expect us to analyse this and put points for and against when they asked 4 someone who had a POSITIVE effect? it was terrible :frown:

I initially started the describing Q but then my description was turning into a story.. We got told not to make it sound like a story and so I foolishly decided to do writing to explain.. I have no idea what I needed to include so I just wrote about Celebrity influences, how they are negative role models.. does anyone actually know what the examiner is looking for in a explain type of answer please?

There isn't. "Quality not quantity" :smile:

I basically did 1 and a half too. Nothing to worry about =]

It's all about a conceptualised response and detail. That can be achieved in one page really. It's just that writing a bit longer gives you more opportunity to have more ideas to cover up any mistakes. That's what I think anyway.
