In Q5 is it okay if I said Spain was better than the Bahamas as my cheap holiday argument instead of talking about uk staycation Because Spain is close to uk and cheaper
Guys i forgot to underline my headline, will i lose marks?

As long as you talking about going on holiday you will be fine, don't stress

we were never told we have to underline the headline, so no lol. Also you don't even need a headline to get an 8 or 9 so it really doesn't matter

will i lose marks if i didnt do a headline for q5
Original post by studentat school
an article is supposed to have a balanced argument with the two viewpoints , but then conclude overall with your argument but potentially give two sides of the argument because then its just biased

omg well I failed then, but my teacher who is an Aqa examiner said to only agree or disagree not to go in the middle

i put cheap and affordable holidays!


Mine was A Holiday In Rainy Britain!
emma kennedy after saying a holiday in france was an assault on the mind....

that's not true dw, you don't need a balanced argument since its an article on your viewpoint

thank god i was about to cry

Your overall article should be on your view on the topic, however adding a counter-argument and dissing it would help you get extra marks and make your piece seem more convincing

im not too sure but seeing the videos i watched on youtube you wont lose marks but u wont gain any marks for it and the title is usually worth some marks

Questions:

1. Statements true or false ( do not remember any).

2. In both texts camping sites are different. Write differences what you understand of both camping sites.

3. How does the writer use language here to describe the rain and the storm?

4. Writer's different experiences about camping sites.

5. An article -something about holidays.
