  • Here's a little video of me revisiting some big dos and don'ts for narrative writing. Useful for paper 2, but could be applied to any exam board!

    I'm writing my paper 2 English exam this coming Wednesday so this video was beneficial. I used your tips on the writer's effect question and summary question for my paper 1 which I wrote last week Tuesday and I was pretty pleased with my answers. I just hope Cambridge agrees with them too. I'm starting to feel nervous again and feel like my answers weren't good enough but I'll try as much as possible to stay positive. Your videos are so helpful thank you so much.

This was the first time I had actually enjoyed studying for an English exam, your explanations make things seem way less complicated than I originally thought it was. I was able to do quite well in the exam today and hope I can get an A*! Your videos were so helpful, thank you!

    Hi sir, I hope you're doing well and recovered from your cold. I only had roughly 2 months to prepare for the English exam and without your videos I truly wouldn't have been as confident. I watched a bunch of your videos and learnt SO much and I feel like I did a good job on both papers. On top of that, watching your videos and seeing how passionate you are about the language made me start to enjoy English, I'm even considering A-level English now. I just want to thank you so much for all your videos, time and effort, you are truly a legend.

    @relax_asmrnoises Před rokem

    Could someone help me out? On the 2022 Oct FLE Paper today, a narrative task was titled "lost".
    Now I am confused whether I'd written a passage irrelevant. I wrote how a sister was supposed to look after her younger sister but failed at that task and eventually ended up "losing" her. I wrote how the elder sister was preoccupied in her own thoughts and stuff but I forgot to link it to the title. I should've written "she was lost in her thoughts" but it totally slipped my mind.
    Could someone help me out and let me know if this would still be relevant to the topic given😔
