Revising Section B: Writing


For this question, you will be given an image and (more than likely) you will need to write a description using the image as a starting point. This is a description.

A DESCRIPTION!

Not a story.

You will be marked on your ability to describe.

To describe:

add adjectives onto nouns

add adverbs to your verbs

make your verbs more interesting.

example:

The dog bit the man

becomes

The ferocious beast tore at the helpless man's flesh viciously.


You MUST also use similes (he was like a building), metaphors (he was a building), personification (the building stared at the man.)

Then you will be marked on your accuracy: your spelling, punctuation and grammar.

So,

vary your sentence types for effect. Use a one-line paragraph amongst your longer paragraphs to create an impact.

Make sure you use a range of punctuation (at least 4 different types).

Ensure your vocabulary is imaginative and your spelling is accurate.

Good luck!
