Study Session - GCSE 2025 - 2026: English Language Session 1

hi!

my name is Laiba and you may already know me through my GYG and Note Of The Day GCSE Thread!

I have organised this thread to study English together as I find this subject quite daunting and find it easier to revise English with others! Also, credits to @5hyl33n for inspiring me to do this!

The live sessions are from:


TUESDAY: 4:30pm– 6:30pm: English Language

THURSDAY: 4pm 6pm: English Literature


I doubt many will actually join but might as well try!

see you then :smile:

Going to do some practice questions for paper one now. I think I am going to do question one and question five for now and then work my way in between. Might do some English Language HW.

Oh cool! So am I lol
my advice is find a story that fits every question and then adapt it based on that. Mine is litterally about sitting an exam lol

I'm struggling to think of something adaptable thoo (I was gonna write about a pen that feels it's own words dont matter because it's just a medium for other people to express themselves lol)

Interesting - no no I think it's a nice idea lol
but make sure no matter the question, you can somewhat adapt it, e.g. a disagreement, can you talk about a disagreement? or can you talk about a journey with this pen or a new friendship?

Agreed, I abandoned it when I did a paper and the question 5 asked me to write about meeting an animal 💀
