For English Language Paper 1 Question 5, typically, the format and punctuation used can depend on the specific task and style guide you are following. It's generally acceptable to use dashes (--) in place of colons (:smile: for dialogue or quotations in English Language Paper 1 Question 5, provided it aligns with the guidelines and instructions given in your exam. Always review the specific requirements and preferences of your exam board or teacher for the best approach.
