Hi, I think I'm struggling with essays the most. I think I've written a really good one and I get like a Band 3.

Do you think that is based of knowledge or structure? I'm getting A* in English Literature so if you wanted you could send me a photo of a snippet of your essay so I could see what you could work on?
What are books are you studying in English and what exam boards?

Woah! We are doing REALLY similar subjects. I'm doing AQA: Gatsby, Othello, Feminin Gospels, Handmaids and Top Girls, so that one play is the only difference.
This will be easier for me to help now cuz i know the books <3

when you right click a photo you should be able to copy image address or something along those lines and i think that works

I'm sorry I tried to open them but it said error. Is there anyway you could type a short paragraph? If not, here is my general advice for a paragraph.
For Gatsby you need A01,A02,A03,A04 and A05 the full lot.
I always start with an opening sentence which directly mentions the question. From there I embed my quote into a sentence. Then I normal do my first piece of A02, then a layered moment, then my second piece of A02. Normally I will weave A04 in here when necessary, and the same goes for A05. Finally I add my A03 and writers intention, this normally takes up a page of writing per paragraph but I have quite big writing.
