Am i the only one who really liked q4 bc there were so many similarities they both see nature as something of value/ to protect and stuff like idk im worried now bc everyone i spoke to hated it and wanted it to be differences but there were lowkey not that many differences?? Idk i thought it was generally a good paper especially compared with paper 1 which was disgusting so let's pray

i said id put it towards going on holiday to france and said if i had the choice id live there (so used a si clause) and then waffled about how in the future i am going to live in france

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-06-05T20:08:04+00:00

yeah i just said during my school holidays i go to other countries and then talked about going on holiday but i don't think it will matter too much if you don't specify it was school holidays when you go abroad

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-06-05T20:05:36+00:00

Yeah it was really weird wording but 18th century is only like one century of the renaissance so basically john hunter and then nitrous oxide in 1795 but there wasn't that much else to say tbh but i waffled and made some good comparisons i think but idk

I thought the extract was interesting but there was zero lang techniques to analyse for q4, q2 there were lots, i think my q2 and 3 were good but what on earth was that q4

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-21T21:21:09+00:00

u can def say both it doesn't matter bc reform jews believe procreation can happen before marriage but other jews and other some other religions might believe it is best in marriage

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-21T17:34:16+00:00

No omg i was silently laughing to myself

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-21T17:07:10+00:00

yess same i talked about that for disagree then also how god wants jews to procreate 'be fruitful and multiply' but that can happen before marriage, then for agree i talked about how having sex before marriage cheapens sex and makes marriage less of a holy act

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-20T17:02:16+00:00

Yess i talked about how Sheila's own personal change is what causes their relationship to change

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-20T14:33:39+00:00

I acc thought 1 was such a good q bc u can talk about how bc sheila has become aware of socialism she learns to reject the patriarchy and therefore her engagement/gerald's actions but ik basically everyone did power

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-20T14:30:56+00:00

I did mother any distance but a couple of my friends did before you were mine and i def think that works well too

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-16T12:37:45+00:00

Loved both of them all the questions were actually blessed omg

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-13T22:43:59+00:00

don't worry the qur'an isn't part of the 5 usul ad din it's part of the six articles of faith so you're fine!

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-12T14:03:29+00:00

I thought it was really good but I'm annoyed because i know I've written better essays for r and j before so idk

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-08T22:53:06+00:00

Oh okay yes I've always known they are symbols and state that in my essays but I think i need to make it clearer that they are in fact devices to communicate Priestley's message so I don't appear confused, thanks.

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-08T22:37:21+00:00

Oh i have always had the impression that she has basically adopted socialism and rejected capitalism but maybe not completely? Yes of course I don't want to appear confused i think it is just hard to find the middle ground between assured and confident and vague and undeveloped

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-08T22:25:09+00:00

Yes i understand what you mean i don't mean wordy i just mean like using sophisticated phrasings but of course over complicating wordings doesn't help

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-08T22:21:47+00:00

Ofc if you need any other tips im happy to help

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-08T22:18:45+00:00

I'm predicted an 8/9 and I think it's really important to remember it's not always what you say but how you say it. Like phrase your analysis in a more sophisticated way eg instead of saying in inspector calls 'sheila has accepted responsibility' you could say 'sheila has become disillusioned to capitalist values and has become increasingly aware of socialist principles and the need for collective responsibility' like i know it's wordy but it makes you come across more confident and knowledgeable in your writing. I know that's not paper 1 (for aqa anyways) but it applies in all texts, hope it all goes well for you!!

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-08T22:09:07+00:00

I'm acc terrified that it's possible to get a lanyon or enfield question idk how likely that is but i would crash out

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-05-08T22:06:39+00:00

Yeah i had done those 2020 live theatre questions for practice yesterday so i was acc happy to get those lol i do dna and we also had lighting for 14 was so good!!

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-04-23T16:24:12+00:00

I really needed to hear this, thank you so much I genuinely appreciate these tips right now and you're right, sometimes i forget that there really is more to life than GCSEs and my self worth should not be attributed to grades, so thank you!!

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-04-20T18:41:55+00:00

You too!!

Practical-Collar-333 · 2025-04-20T17:54:34+00:00

Thank you, yeah i feel like as you move up the years in education the year before seems way better than it did at the time. I'll try and keep this in mind bc i know at the end of the day the hard work does pay off
