0:00welcome to another video you've got Mr
0:01Everything English and today we are
0:03looking at AQA English language paper
0:05one question two everything
0:08education tuition for maths English and
0:12science so guys when it come to paper
0:14one question two this question always
0:16looks at the second paragraph it looks
0:19at the second paragraph of the insert
0:22and this question guys is worth eight
0:24marks now for an eight mark question we
0:27are spending no more than 10 minutes
0:30minutes and in these two in these 10
0:32minutes guys we're looking to write two
0:35pretzel paragraphs not three two is
0:39enough so eight marks 10 minutes two
0:42paragraphs and this question guys is
0:45always the language question always it
0:48is known to be the language question now
0:51when it comes to language what does
0:53language mean guys AA tells us this
0:56language could mean words and phrases
0:58and language could be language devices
1:01now when it comes to words and phrases
1:04what are they talking about guys they
1:06are talking about nouns
1:10verbs
1:12adverbs and adjectives now what are
1:15these for a noun guys is the name of
1:18something this could be a table this
1:20could be a chair this could be a door
1:23but anytime you name something this is a
1:25noun then you have verbs verbs are doing
1:28words jumping up and down jumping is
1:30your verb uh teaching eating these are
1:34all verbs then we have adverbs an adverb
1:37is a word that describes a verb and an
1:41adjective is a word that describes a
1:43noun this pen is white pen is the noun
1:47white is the adjective so in this
1:50question we have to speak about these if
1:53we wanted to now can you get eight out
1:55of eight just by by just talking about
1:58nouns and verbs yes you can we're going
2:01to go over model answers where students
2:03have got full marks by just speaking
2:06about verbs and nouns the whole way
2:09through now these come under words and
2:11phrases then AQA say guys that we as
2:15students should be able to speak about
2:18language devices now let me go over 10
2:22language devices now these are the only
2:2410 that I want us to know for now a
2:26similar guys is when you compare two
2:28nouns using like or as a metaphor is
2:31when you compare two nouns without like
2:33or as hyperbole is when you hiy
2:36something up it's when you over
2:38exaggerate personification is when you
2:40give a nonhuman human features for
2:42example this pen is my best friend on a
2:45matap is words that describe sounds so
2:49crack bang Creek boom these are all on a
2:52matap rule of three is when you have
2:54three words or phrases in a row
2:57describing one thing for example this
3:00room is spacious colorful and black uh
3:05then we have a pathetic fallacy guys
3:08pathetic fallacy is when the weather
3:10reflects the mood so if it's sunny
3:12outside everyone's happy if it's cold
3:15everyone's really really sad then we
3:17have sibilance guys sibilance is when
3:19you repeat words in a row that begin
3:22with the letter s for example snake
3:24slithered through the sand then we have
3:27zoomorphism zoomorphism is when you give
3:29a human the features of an animal and
3:32symbolism guys is when words have a
3:35wider meaning so for example a dagger in
3:38McBeth represents death and so on these
3:41are 10 language devices that we have to
3:44be aware of so for this question guys we
3:48have to analyze language language means
3:51this and language means this and in 10
3:54minutes we're doing two pretel
3:57paragraphs now this is how I break down
4:00the question so imagine guys we are
4:03doing Point reference technique effect
4:07Zoom effect and Link that is the
4:10structure that we are following for this
4:13question when it comes to our technique
4:16I always say it guys pick a technique
4:19from over here pick a language technique
4:22and when it comes to zooming in you zoom
4:25in to a word or a
4:28phrase easy peasy easy it's a lovely way
4:31of doing it so essentially guys you're
4:33writing two paragraphs in both
4:35paragraphs when it comes to your
4:37Technique you pick a language device and
4:40when you zoom in you go back to your
4:42quote and you pick a word or a phrase so
4:46it could be a noun a verb an adverb or
4:48adjective and that is what you zoom into
4:51two paragraphs guys like that and that
4:53is all you are aiming for when it comes
4:56to this question what exactly are you
4:58marked upon to get top bang to get eight
5:01out of eight you must do three things
5:04the first thing you must do guys is you
5:06must have textual detail all this means
5:10guys is you must have quotes in your
5:12answer then in these quotes you must use
5:16subject terminology now what does
5:18subject terminology mean guys here it's
5:21referring to your techniques similes
5:24metaphors verbs adjectives these are
5:26English specific words and then guys the
5:30last thing and the most important thing
5:32is you are marked upon your effect now
5:37AQA says that to get an eight out of
5:40eight you must do these three things but
5:42these three things for this question
5:44must be done in detail and perceptively
5:48let's go over the word detail first for
5:50you to do these three things in detail
5:53you must firstly write a lot but then
5:56you get kids saying sir I write so much
5:59but I I still get four out of eight I
6:01still get five out of eight that's
6:02probably because you're waffling you're
6:04not answering the question you're not
6:07doing what's needed and that is why they
6:09have the word perceptive the word
6:11perceptive looks at the quality of your
6:14work now where does this quality come in
6:17there are three things you must do you
6:19must pick out techniques you must pick
6:21out quotes and you must explain the
6:24effect now in this paragraph if you look
6:28at the structure the only part of the
6:31paragraph where you can be detailed and
6:34you can be perceptive is way you can
6:37only do that in your effect you can't
6:40make your Technique detailed you can't
6:42make your quote detailed the only part
6:44and therefore the most important part of
6:48the paragraph is the effect now remember
6:52guys we follow pretel and we must check
6:56does pretzel do the job does pretzel
6:59allow us to get the high Mark now when
7:03it comes to pretel guys you are quoting
7:06two times the first time you quote is in
7:09the beginning when you give your main
7:11quote and the second time you quote is
7:14when you zoom in then when it comes to
7:17techniques in pretzel we give two
7:19techniques we give one technique after
7:22our first quote and we give our second
7:25technique when we zoom in and finally
7:27guys in pretzel when it comes comes to
7:29the effect we are doing two effects the
7:32first effect is when we analyze the
7:35technique and the second effect is when
7:38we analyze the word that we've zoomed
7:40into so just by you following pretzel
7:45you are ticking off each bullet point of
7:47the mark scheme two times as a minimum
7:51now for English language are you marked
7:54on your point and are you marked on your
7:56link no you're not you are categorically
8:00not marked on these two parts of the
8:02paragraph So don't waste your time
8:05trying to write a super duper detailed
8:09point or a link keep it simple Mr Fisher
8:12is presented as lonely Mr Fisher is
8:14presented as Brave I'm just giving you
8:17examples but keep it simple the reason
8:20we still do a point is to make sure we
8:22answer the question and we do a link I
8:25call it the waffle check if you get to
8:27the end of your paragraph and you can't
8:29say therefore as you can see Mr Fisher
8:33and you can't link it back to your point
8:35then you've probably gone off task
8:37somewhere but don't get it twisted based
8:40upon the mark scheme which part of the
8:42paragraph is the most important part
8:44guys it is the following guys it is your
8:47effect but the only thing you guys need
8:50to be aware of is that pretzel is a
8:53solid paragraph to use because in pretel
8:55because you do everything twice
8:58naturally you're going to take off the
8:59mark scheme and right in detail the only
9:03thing left is checking the quality of
9:06your effect how good is your effect that
9:09is why guys pretzel paragraphs work so
9:12well for this question because without
9:14you even realizing you are ticking the
9:17mark scheme off as you go along so I
9:22repeat language question 10 minutes two
9:26paragraphs two pretzel paragraphs when
9:28it comes to techniques we analyze this
9:31when it comes to zooming in we zoom in
9:33to one of these now in your exam guys
9:37you plan live on the sheet so over here
9:41it says how does the writer use language
9:44here to convey Mr Fisher's views on
9:47books and stories of the past my first
9:50quote that I can use is that Mr Fisher
9:53said that books and stories of the past
9:56would illuminate minds and hearts they
9:59will light up minds and hearts now the
10:02technique that I want to talk about here
10:04first guys the technique that I want to
10:07talk about here first is the technique
10:10of Crema morphism now what is
10:13chremamorphism it's not on the list but
10:15it's a technique that is there crom
10:18morphism guys is the opposite of
10:21personification guys CR morphism is the
10:24opposite of personification so
10:27personification is when you give a h
10:29non-human human features Crema morphism
10:32is when you give a human the features of
10:35an object so over here it's saying that
10:37stories would illuminate a human being
10:41you can't light up a person you can't
10:43illuminate a person that is why
10:46isomorphism so I've got my reference
10:48I've got my technique now what's my
10:51point Mr Fish views on books of the past
10:54my point is that books of the past guys
10:58they were inspiration
10:59wow these books were absolutely amazing
11:03and that is going to be my point now
11:07what shall I zoom into to guys for this
11:10quote I'm going to zoom in to the noun
11:14hot and talk about the impact that this
11:17book doesn't just doesn't just stimulate
11:19our mind but it hits deep into our soul
11:22and there's one paragraph planned for my
11:25exam then guys I will simply plan
11:28another paragraphs for my second
11:30paragraph guys I could talk about the
11:32quote over here that classes was Swept
11:35Away in the fever this hair guys could
11:37be my second reference and for my point
11:42I'm going to say that in this quote
11:44books are presented as being addictive
11:48classes couldn't get enough that's going
11:50to be my point for my technique I'm
11:53going to keep it simple guys we're going
11:55to go for a hyperbole
12:00and when we zoom in I'm going to zoom in
12:05to the verb of swept and there we have
12:10my two paragraphs planned that is
12:13exactly what you would do in a live exam
12:17I've got my two points my first point is
12:20that books are inspirational or were
12:22inspirational my second point is books
12:25were addictive my first reference is
12:27Illuminating minds and hearts my second
12:29reference is that classes were Swept
12:31Away in the fever my first technique was
12:35chorismic was hyperon and for my first
12:38quote I zoomed into the noun and for my
12:41second quote I zoomed into the verb
12:44lovely now all I would do in an exam is
12:47I would write out these two paragraphs I
12:50want to show you guys a model answer
12:53that was published by the exam boards
12:55last year this answer guys received
12:58eight out of eight it wasn't written by
13:01myself it was written by a student who
13:03sat the gcsc and they received eight out
13:06of eight the first thing you will notice
13:09is guys is they have written two
13:12paragraphs not three not four but
13:15they've written two paragraphs in both
13:18paragraphs they've got one main
13:22quote and then they go ahead and they
13:26attach a zooming in to that main
13:30quote and in both paragraph guys they
13:33analyze so this one analyzed a simile
13:36and this one analyzed a noun and then
13:39the reason they got eight out of eight
13:41is because pretty much everything else
13:44in the paragraph is pure effect they hit
13:48the mark scheme beautifully have they
13:50got quotes yep they've got four quotes
13:53two for the first one two for the second
13:54one that's it not 10,000 quotes not
13:58eight quotes not 16 quotes two for each
14:01paragraph which is exactly what we do in
14:03pret then each paragraph I say to you
14:07guys have two techniques one technique
14:09at the top and one when you zoom in this
14:12kid literally only had one over here the
14:14noun and over here a simile very basic
14:17techniques but what does that prove it
14:19doesn't matter about the technique you
14:21pick it matters what you do with it and
14:23then guys beautifully they explained the
14:26effect let's read the first paragraph
14:29the writer presents the Hyena's
14:30appearance as repulsive and unpleasant
14:33painting it as an outcast amongst the
14:35animal kingdom that's their point that
14:36basically this hyena is buts this hyena
14:38is absolutely ugly the use of the noun
14:41phrase bungal mix of colors to describe
14:44its first suggest its design is one with
14:46no purpose and seems to be in
14:48afterthought as the colors are combined
14:50together in an arbitrary fashion
14:52compared to the Lepard spot will serve
14:54as camouflage furthermore it could be
14:56argu the color the fur and then the
14:58writer basically got guys continues to
15:00explain the effect of it being described
15:02like that they got eight out of
15:06eight this is the most recent exam this
15:09is June
15:102023 you can see what they are awarding
15:14eight out of A2 two paragraphs 10
15:17minutes and guys you simply have you
15:20simply have to take away on the mark
15:24schem you give your point you give your
15:26quote you give your Technique you
15:28explain the effect then you zoom in to a
15:31word you give the effect you link it all
15:33up peace out you go home and you do that
15:36twice guys that is how you go about
15:39answering question number two my advice
15:43to you guys would be this now that we've
15:46covered everything you need for paper
15:48one question number two try your best to
15:51write out these two paragraphs and see
15:53how you get on they planned for you on
15:55the screen write out this paragraph
15:57write out this paragraph spending 5
15:59minutes on each paragraph then guys
16:01should you want more past papers go to
16:04everything education. co.uk click on
16:06past papers and go through each of them
16:08and simply try to do as many question
16:11twos as possible let me talk you through
16:14quickly how you structure one so let's
16:17say we're doing the blue paragraph in
16:20Source a Mr Fisher sorry in Source a the
16:23writer presents Mr Fisher's views on
16:26books of the past as them being very
16:29very addictive this can be seen in the
16:31quote that classes were Swept Away in
16:33the fever the use of hyperbole shows how
16:37the classes could not resist the alert
16:40of the books it was as though they were
16:42simple victims to the power and the
16:44interest of these books I explain the
16:46effect of that furthermore when we zoom
16:49in to the verb swept it implies that
16:54these students were swept off their feet
16:58the books were Mesmerizing the books
17:00were amazing the books took them to a
17:03place that they've never been to before
17:05explain the effect and as a result they
17:08wanted to read more and more therefore
17:11you can see now I'm linking it that
17:13books of the past were extremely
17:15addictive now obviously guys if I write
17:17that out I would do a lot more detail
17:19but I'm just giving you a quick
17:21structure of how you may go about
17:24approaching this question all right guys
17:27and that is how you do paper one
17:30question number
17:32two peace everything
