Question 6.... I pretended I was older and omg does that matter? I was pretending I was an adult writing and everyone was like you'll lose marks for that bc you wrote as a character so now I'm scared as help???!,??

Not at all! You can write from who ever's point of view that you'd like, it's all about being perceptive and as long as you have 'argued' like the question states there is nothing wrong with your answer whatsoever :smile:

Did persuade for that one 😢 It didn't actually state what to do, just 'write for or against the statement'. Will I get heavily marked down for not understanding the question? 😫

it only matters who your writing for, which are children. It does not matter who your writing as...

Don't know if this is too late, but attached is my feedback. It was a decent paper, but there are things you could improve on, which are changeable overnight to be honest :smile:

Hope it helps ImageUploadedByStudent Room1401745017.017704.jpg

What were the questions? Just wondering, I did November 2013 and I'm curious as to what they were this year.

Well obviously the questions for reading were the same but the sources were about Facebook, a music festival and some random one that was just some desccription then suddenly changed to his childhood. Writing was a letter about what a summer festival should include and write an article about your opinion on social media

It said agree or disagree... u aren't persuading anyone that children shouldnt use social sites, your arguing why social sites are wrong If you didnt use too much emotives then it could blend in
