If you're doing A spec ENGA1, this might help:

Previous ENGA1 texts

Jan 2009:
Online advert/webpage for dating tips
Phone conversation transcript between two secret lovers

May 2009:
Written version of Green Party speech
Printed guidance about avoiding wasteful use of photocopiers

Jan 2010:

Jan 2011

Future exam papers? Some suggestions:

•

written mode letters with blended mode emails/MSN “conversation” (like the sample stuff in the AQA A text book)

•

spoken conversation between 3+ participants and online conversation

•

spoken commentary versus written match report (or blended mode web commentary)

•

monologue of person telling anecdote and narrative in written form

•

written text that uses features of spoken mode to create “relationship” with reader

Quick revision tasks:

mode revision task 1
mode revision task 2
mode revision task 3

If you're doing ENGB1 none of that will help. Sorry.
