We haven't yet covered paper 2 of English Language A so I can only assist you with paper 1. Again I haven't yet finished all texts but I can do my best.

Basically for the ig you have to read & annotate all extracts in the anthology in order to expect the unexpected during the exam. Try try try. Even over the summer holiday or you'll forget all year's work. Text 1 is always referred to as the unseen text while text 2 is the seen text (from the anthology). Hope this helps!

Paper 1 is testing your reading & writing skills with 5 questions from 2 texts. Then a Q6/7 opinion-based topic (you choose) while paper 2 is all about poetry stuff. That's for the IGCSE for English Language A.

Yep, thanks! I have most of them annotated now, I barely studied over the summer too 🥲. All the best for your exam!

You dont do paper 2 if you already did coursework for English language (original writing and the comparison of 2 poems and one prose).
Which Anthology poem (part 3) do you guys think will come up for regional paper 1? Like top 2-4 poems that will most likely come up?

for english lit, november 2023 was lennie and setting, may 2023 was slim and power and the jan 2023 papers were crooks and respect, curley’s wife and animals. so i don’t think any of those 4 characters or themes will come up. i think dreams and friendship have not come up in a while for themes and for characters maybe george and lennie’s relationship?

I dont think so because there’s so little that you could write about - just that he’s a migrant worker and he’s relevant when candy’s dog dies and at the end ‘now what the hell y’a suppose is eatin at them two guys’ or whatever the quote is.
