Hi guys what do you think of this structure I am going to try and use in my work tomorrow?

This is for question 5 and is a rough idea of how I am going to structure my answer

Description of the weather
Description of Landscape/ Horizon

That seems good, there's 3 zooming in on objects, wonder if you could whittle that down to just one or two in depth rather than 3? also, what 'objects' are you planning on doing, because i think it might be good to just do one or two in more detail. also, i'd suggest including a short paragraph / one sentence paragraph somewhere for effect, even if it's just at the end or the start, but other than that, pretty solid, just don't forget literary devices, punctuation and amibitious vocab :smile:

However much you can write in 45 minutes - there's not really a set minimum, but quality is always better than quantity (as long as you write like at least a page). I'm sure people have gotten grade 9s with a page and a bit of really good writing. I'm also sure you won't be counting your words as you write, and the examiner certainly won't be either 😅

my teacher said to get high marks you need atleast two pages because that counts as extended writing, (this is for story )
