Well, where are your weaknesses? Can you post some of your past and current writing excercises (copy&paste, or attach scans/photos), so that we can try to identify specific problems that need to be addressed in the first place?
Also: What textbook do you have, and do you have the AQA GCSE German study guide?

Hey there!
I was sure I commented on this but maybe I forgot to send the message-whoops!
So, as well as learning key vocab, you need to know some phrases to use, which will make your writing and speaking sound more natural.
Here are some sites that can help:
https://www.gcse.com/german/speaking_phrases.htm
http://www.conyers.org.uk/wp-content...ow-to-Pass.pdf
https://www.fluentu.com/blog/german/...essay-phrases/
There are also lots of vocab on Quizlet that you can use :-)
Also, check out the news. I know you've only got 28 days but watching 15 minutes a day will slowly improve your German overall. Deutsche Welle and Euronews are good ones.

Yeah, pretty much. Phrases like 'on the one hand', 'on the other hand' and 'in comparison' can be used in lots of different situations. Unfortunately the idioms are more for specific cases. I always tried to cram them into my work, which is not a good idea, so maybe learn a few and then, if it seems like a good chance to use it, then go for it!

My teacher recommends this website called Language Gym - maybe try that?
I would also recommend a YouTube channel called Learn German With Anja - it really helps with grammar and stuff!
Good luck! I have mocks soon too and I really need to up my German game. We can do this

use these phrases, they're passive tense so really good
'Es wird gesagt dass...' = It is said that...
'Es wird gefragt dass...' = It is questioned whether...
'Es wird gesagt dass...' = It is said that...
'Es wird gefragt dass...' = It is questioned whether...

Language Gym was also recommended by my teachers but it never really worked for me. And I'm afraid I never used Learn German with Anja so I can't say how useful it is!

ahh thank you i've never heard them,i'll try to use them
ahh thank you i've never heard them,i'll try to use them
Ich bin der Meinung dass... = I am of the opinion that...
Meiner Meinung nach... = My opinion is...
Ich denke/glaube/finde dass... = I think/believe/find that...
also make sure you use varied structures and vocab, so past, present, future tense etc, and more words than just 'toll' and 'sehr' etc

I’ll definitely check those websites out. I just watched some Deutsche Welle and I can tell my pronunciation and listening skills are going to get much better if I do this every day - genius tip!

Bear in mind if you do watch euronews that they do talk quite fast-way faster than what will be in your exams-so don't stress if you can't catch most of the words!
