Info Needed Desperately: English Ea2w Tomorrow

[biketrialler]

Hey guys

Ive got an English exam tomorrow, English Language EA2W 'using language' paper. Just wondering exactly what is in this paper?

Its a re take from last year so im not sure exactly what it covers. Been wrapped up in my photgraphy project so much recently I forgot all about it ^_^

Any basic outline of whats in it would be awesome.

Thanks

Ben

If it's a language paper then basically you we will be asked to produce a piece of writing ranging as wide as anything from a letter, newspaper/magazine article, short story to a leaflet.

Basically though, with most of them you will have to think of a subject you feel strongly about and od one of these three...

Write to persuade.

Write to argue.

Write to explain.

Then you have to use the correct type of lexis/syntax and other techniques to suit the type of subject and what you are trying to achieve (out of the three above).

Is this A-Level or GCSE by the way?

Its an AS level - retake. Im just about to finish my a2 year and have all my exams bundled into the next few weeks ^_^

I managed to find a set of past papers online earlier for all of the english as/a2 papers... might be worth a read if anyone else wants them!

Thanks for the description, seems I just need to revise the word class stuff as the first section is a text analysis. Hopefully the writing stage goes well :P

Thanks,
