GCSE AQA English Paper 1 Language

Ahhh. I epic failed at this one... I found the article about travelling in Spain quite hard, as there wasn't really much to talk about. The argue, persuade, advise was okay, but I didn't set out the letter correctly.

How did it go for you guys?

It was about free running (at least, for specification A)
Maybe those on spec B did travelling in Spain?

For the Section B bit, in writing to persuade, advise and argue, wich one did you guys go for?

I did Spec A. I found Section A harder than the past papers, especially the question about presentational devices, which is worrying as usually I find that one the easiest. I totally neglected the male/female appeal and focused on talking about how it appealed to people with a common interest to get fit. What did everyone else put?

I did the last one, 8: Write a letter to your headteacher persuading her that fun is important in schools and advise her as to how to introduce fun OWTTE. I only know of one other person who did that question. It seems that most people did the adventure trip one.

How many sides did you write? Did you set it out in letter format i.e address in top right hand corner etc? I didn't...

Hmm can't remember how many sides, but about 3 large paragraphs plus the intro and conlcusion. And no I didn't do the adress, I just put Dear Sir/Madam then Yours Sincerely at the end :colondollar:
