GCSE English Language
Unit 1 Exam
Don’t
panic!
Prepare yourself
with this helpful
guide 
Step one: read the questions, then
the items.
• As soon as possible, please invest in a
highlighter or even better a pack of
them !– use them to mark key points,
interesting uses of language etc as you
read the items so you can find them
quickly later!
• This should take you about fifteen minutes
• Begin answering question 1 only when
you have read the lot!
Question 1
• The examiner wants to see that you have fully
understood the whole text.
• Start your answer with the most important
points.
• Then add lots of detail, using BREADCRUMB
QUOTES.
• You should include some inference too, eg the
reader can tell she enjoyed it, he was nervous…
• DON’T analyse use of language
• X3 SPEED 12 MINS.
Question 2
• Explain why heading, subheading & picture are
effective AND how EACH of them link to the
main text.
• This will entail some stating of the obvious, eg
the heading mentions ‘new life’ which the main
text explains is newly-discovered species.
• You may point out effective language use.
• You MUST refer to (quote from?) the main text –
don’t discuss the headline, sub head and picture
in isolation!
• X3 SPEED 12 MINS
Question 3
• The examiner wants to see that you can
infer (read between the lines) what the
main person in item 3 is thinking and
feeling.
• Use quotes – SPEED structure is fine.
• Try to cover the whole of item 3
• X3 SPEED 12 MINS
Question 4
• Compare use of language – hopefully, you will
have already highlighted a few interesting
features (short sentences, technical language,
informality, imagery…)
• SPEED back & forth between your 2 chosen
items – link with comparison connectives.
• How are the items similar & how different?
• Your answer should show you understand that
the language differs with PURPOSE &
AUDIENCE.
• X6 SPEED 24 MINS
Question 5
• Writing to INFORM, EXPLAIN, DESCRIBE
• .,:;””!?-/…()
• PLAN 3 or 4 paras, order and LINK them
• SHOW OFF as much as you can from the very
first sentence!
• Use a variety of sentence structures.
• -LY and –ING openers
• Engage your readers!!
• BAG OF FULL STOPS
Question 6
• Writing to ARGUE or PERSUADE
• .,!””()?:;…
• SHOW OFF as much as you can from the very first
sentence!
• Use a variety of sentence structures.
• Anecdote
• Pivot paragraph
• Magic sentence: 1; 2; 3.
• 1
• 2
• 3
• Anecdote
Check your
answers.

Gcse english unit 1

  • 1. GCSE English Language Unit 1 Exam Don’t panic! Prepare yourself with this helpful guide 
  • 2. Step one: read the questions, then the items. • As soon as possible, please invest in a highlighter or even better a pack of them !– use them to mark key points, interesting uses of language etc as you read the items so you can find them quickly later! • This should take you about fifteen minutes • Begin answering question 1 only when you have read the lot!
  • 3. Question 1 • The examiner wants to see that you have fully understood the whole text. • Start your answer with the most important points. • Then add lots of detail, using BREADCRUMB QUOTES. • You should include some inference too, eg the reader can tell she enjoyed it, he was nervous… • DON’T analyse use of language • X3 SPEED 12 MINS.
  • 4. Question 2 • Explain why heading, subheading & picture are effective AND how EACH of them link to the main text. • This will entail some stating of the obvious, eg the heading mentions ‘new life’ which the main text explains is newly-discovered species. • You may point out effective language use. • You MUST refer to (quote from?) the main text – don’t discuss the headline, sub head and picture in isolation! • X3 SPEED 12 MINS
  • 5. Question 3 • The examiner wants to see that you can infer (read between the lines) what the main person in item 3 is thinking and feeling. • Use quotes – SPEED structure is fine. • Try to cover the whole of item 3 • X3 SPEED 12 MINS
  • 6. Question 4 • Compare use of language – hopefully, you will have already highlighted a few interesting features (short sentences, technical language, informality, imagery…) • SPEED back & forth between your 2 chosen items – link with comparison connectives. • How are the items similar & how different? • Your answer should show you understand that the language differs with PURPOSE & AUDIENCE. • X6 SPEED 24 MINS
  • 7. Question 5 • Writing to INFORM, EXPLAIN, DESCRIBE • .,:;””!?-/…() • PLAN 3 or 4 paras, order and LINK them • SHOW OFF as much as you can from the very first sentence! • Use a variety of sentence structures. • -LY and –ING openers • Engage your readers!! • BAG OF FULL STOPS
