Hi.. I am still failing GP.. for the past one month, I have been practising compre and writing essays.
I want to ask is it enough for me to prepare environment, media, and discrimination as the topics to study? What will Cambridge probably test on this year? And do you have any tips for paraphrasing?
Thank you..
For compre, I often take the authors ideas literally and therefore the paraphrasing might not be correct. For example, “Advertising is everywhere”, I paraphrased it as “we can recognise advertisements most of the time”, which is an inaccurate paraphrasing. How can I improve on this?
For AQ, if u are unsure of the paraphrasing but understand the point, i would suggest for u to quote the author’s argument directly. U may lose out on a bit of language marks, but it beats having u answer the whole question wrongly and failing this component. Paraphrasing is taught in our lessons, u may need to come for a trial class to find out more. It is very difficult to teach skills over writing.
hi bob,
pls note that these 3 topics to prep for A levels arent enough. They are very narrow topics and these are not topics that come out every year. A sure bet topic that would come out every year would be sci and tech, arts and general questions.
I will be doing a prediction on this blog after the prelims. Do watch out for this space.
Hi when will your predictions be out for 2016?
Thanks
haha are u guys just waiting for that? my students know alr
