I feel like I've learnt more from this one video than all of my english lessons

I don't get how u think of this stuff on the spot that's what I find difficult about this question

1 day before your exam right?

I spent way too much time in my mocks trying to be articulate with my words, and ended up writing 1/4 of what I could of written. It's really about simplicity..

Mrs Whelan: * Reads one sentence and writes one full paragraph * Me: * Spends time reading the whole text and barely finds anything to write about *

If ur watching this 15-17 hours before ur Language Paper 1 GCSE I feel for u.

I was watching this video the night before my English mock, and the next day we were given the exact same paper and source! I actually got a pretty decent grade as well for the first time ever. Thank you, Mrs Whelan! Lol :-)

2020 anyone?🥺

You are such a helpful tutor for this! This is like a goldmine. I’ve never been confident, only getting like 5 or 6 at most on these questions. But I’ve never been able to get into a mindset of how to look for the techniques and how to develop that into a paragraph. Mock today, watching this in the morning, wish me luck!

All them dislikes are English teachers

I JUST GOT MY RESULTS AND I PASSED. THANK YOU SO MUCH I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT UR VIDEOS🙌🙌

This is SUCH A HELP, I cannot describe how much this has boosted my confidence, as I hadn’t quite grasped the concept of structure yes, but this has really helped! Thank you!

I got my language paper 1 this morning. Thank god I came across this video

Gcse Language Paper 1 tomorrow and honestly I'm learning from yours videos. Thanks!

At this stage I would be willing to be happy with a grade 4 😂😭

I got my exams in the summer and I've never taken GCSE English before. I'm 19, on an ECP and currently taking a course in Electrical Installation. English has never interested me nor do I see it being important. Let me explain why I don't see it being important. To me, having an English GCSE isn't that important when it comes to being an Electrician or Carpenter; who needs to be able to break down the structure of an extract from a book when being a carpenter? None. What they need are core English skills that everyone needs. That's why a lot of trades people have Functional Skills English Levels 1&2. Most people in the trades, that I know of, never passed GCSE English and some didn't take it, but they pull in about 30k a year doing carpentry, mechanics and such. As a note: I'm self-taught when it comes to English. Never bothered with it in school, I just taught myself everything I need to know so I have no troubles with job applications; getting work; having conversations; or writing an email/text. What is also shocking is the amount of people who have passed their GCSE English but are still fucking terrible at it. Ironic.

Hi I am studying GCSE English at Adult Education. This is very helpful, as structure for me is harder than language. This is a brilliant way to go through this.

you teach better than my english teacher :) thanks a bunch for this it really helped

Simply BRILLIANT! Well focused, very clear and inspiring. The thumbs down are losers.

This is amazing. Honestly better than my teachers at school . I am sitting my GCSE in a weeks time and this has really really helped. I get like 4s in my English exams and now I think I could get 5s and 6s

Who else has their exam tomorrow

Thank you My son needed some help with his work and you have helped saved his GCSE's. Cheers.

so useful, helped me get from a grade 1 in my mocks to a grade 9 in my gcse's thank u so much

She is truly a hidden gem. Thank you mrs whelan your a life saver.

Amazing video! Thank you so much for this. I've got mocks next week Tuesday and this has certainly helped. Thank you!!

You are soooooo much better then my English teacher.... you make me understand so much better

I was stuck on Q3 and this really helped me figure out what to write. Thank you!

I used this in order to assist my offspring!! He's only 7 years of age and is partaking in GCSE's! He takes his intellect after me! This video is much appreciated, thank you.

I visited your other videos and I admit you have very broad vocabulary I wish I could write in that tune but English as a 2nd language I always struggle to find stronger adjectives and verbs which is the key for better marks in exams.

you actually just saved my life thank you for making this video

big up urself Mrs Whelan, you've clutched for my exam tmrw, thanks so much

This is the EXACT paper I’ve been given for my English homework! Thanks so much, my exam is in two days.

Thanks Mrs Whelan, this was extremely helpful and gave a lot of information to help me in the exam.

I have a test on structure on Monday and this is really helpful hopefully this pays off and I get a good mark

Thank you so much, I was Struggling with AQA english language paper 1. You made that easy for me. THANK YOU!

Thank you, you saved the day for my end of year English test!

thank you for this really helped with my preparations for my upcoming exams

Structure question can sometimes be very hard- sometimes I mix it up with language! How can you tell the distinct difference between the language and structure in the extract.

My revising is more easier with those videos now,I can learn much more from these examples than what they gave me from the pixl conference,this is much more efficient and useful to me.(Sorry if I have some mistakes in my english,sometimes I struggle with some words ,but I'm sorting it out in time)

Just used these videos and I passed my trial exams. Thank you so so much, love these videos.

I just want to say thank you for helping me over the last couple of mouths👍🏽

*I’m doing my mock exam today wish me luck today and thank you for this video so much I hope this is going to help me today and improve my knowledge 🧡😁🙏 I subbed*

Thank You miss💯

1 day before the exam right

I had a nightmare that i didnt know what to write in my english exam thats why im here

A day before my exam November 2020

This was really helpful. Thank you

i am in year 10 and have my english GCSE tomorrow :( SO NERVOUS! to be honest i watch and revise everything for ages but then as soon as i go in to the exam room i litterally forget everything and dont know what to do... i need google in my brain

I have an English exam on Tuesday and this has kind of helped but I’ve been off a lot due to mental health issues so I’m lacking behind a lot so I’m up at ten looking up videos 😂

I would write about the time frame as well as the structure of text. The time frame would be good to write about since you can link it to a historical event and how it would effect the character at that time... for an example if the story was set at the time of WWII and it says the all children grew tired and became starved.

Hi Mrs Whelan would you please write as many of the structural techniques that there are ? ;so I can check them against the ones I already have and see if I’m missing any .

Could write about how many syllables the paragraph has, does it rhyme at all? Do the words create pace? and if so why, could link any type of pace to the write or the character's heart rate, and try to link any of this to context, get that extra marks. Hope this helps, good luck tomorrow!

Exams tomorrow aqa gang wya

Really helpful : )

thank you so much this video really helped me

i understand that for question 3 i would set it into 3 sections like the beginning middle and end. for each section i would talk about how it engages the reader which i am OK with but i am confused with the other 2 points i would talk about the time setting and repetition.

I think everyone just like me finds a negative descriptive novel easier than a positive one. so what can you please suggest to find structural features in a positive novel. i know its both the same maybe, but i am trying a practice paper and i spent over an hour to think of something to write, but my minds blank. Please any help.

Do you have to write about each structural technique from beginning to end or can we pick our a couple of structural devices like the method you would with language ?

Got an A* because of you.❤️

Thank u so much for your amazing and resourceful video honestly I'm so glad I found right before my end of year exam well chuffed now. Thanks soooo much If u could please reply with any more structural techniques they are my main issue in this question i would appreciate it loads!!!!!!! Thanks

I have my English exam tomorrow so I’m cramming as much revising in as I can

this was so helpful, thankyiu so much!!!

Good Advice 💯👌

Sometimes, I just want to fuck around and put a fork in a toaster. FML.

I have my mock tmrw and my teacher said don’t write about the effect on reader for q3. I need some help here

i watch these paper 1 videos every time I have exams

Thanks so much very helpful 😊

Is using the atmosphere of the text a type of structural technique?

This is good , thanks!

When u created a mindmap "put together with" are the devices u have listed such (as plot, tome) are these structural? Because I would have thought them to be language

very helpful! THANKYOU

great video!

If only I watched this before I did the paper, we had this as a test lol, though to be fair it wouldn't be an "Unseen text" then so it's kind of a good thing.

Thank you miss...finally it's tomorrow

Hi Mrs Whelan, I’m glad I came across your videos. I have my English paper one in a week time. I learnt a lot from your videos however, I would like to know how many paragraphs I need for questions 2,3and 4 please? thank you and hope to hear from you soon.
