ENGLISH PAPER 2

[fatikhalid]

NO NO NO
Even if you are not given bullets and are not asked to number your answers you STILL HAVE TO NUMBER THEM IF THE QUESTION CARRIES TWO MARKS
No paragraphing because then the answer will be regarded as 1 reason or one point and you will be given 1 mark only

if the question is explain fully how would v divide it in 2 points??

aRE u Sure? :/ Cuz we were never taught abt this in school.

 

[screamingskull]

ok thankyou.But how are we supposed to answer like,the sentence of each bullet should start with a capital letter?

See an example that I am quoting:
Ans) It is dangerous because many advertisers are 1) potentowerful and 2)ruthless: uncaring.

My point exactly.How can we divide it into bullets?

which school in islamabad are u from?

 

[daredevil]

1) atleast 15 , maximum could be 20-25
2) better to include 18-20
3) it is necessary.

heyyy i read in the examiners report today that they want a max of 15 points. u cna just write 15 points. i think that's enough.

 

[screamingskull]

if the question is explain fully how would v divide it in 2 points??

Explian fully questions are of two types
1) Demands that you explain two keywords and in this case you make those keywords the two points
2) this type does not apparently account for two reasons but this is how you solve it:
Explain fully what 'promise' is implicit by naming the perfume "irresistible"?
Ans: The promise is that 1)if a person uses that perfume then 2)people of opposite gender will be attracted towrds him/her.

Use English revision guide

it is old. it does not have the revised pattern of how many points to write or stuff. it can only be used for general instructions.

BMI

And another Important thing...When writing the summary (not the points) explain in ur own words only 5-6 points of both the parts.. e.g write in ur own words 5 disadvantages and and 6 advntges..don't need to explain all the points as the examiner will not even read the words above the limit and will cross them out..

but it will be better if u merged some points in ur OWN WORDS and mentioned all points at least. that will not exceed the limit and give u better marking grades too.

 

[daredevil]

are we to mention the points of summary SAME as mentioned in the content given? [i know that we have to write continuous summary in or own words but i am talking about summary points.]

the reason for the content points is for help in writing the summary so it doesn't make sense if u don't use the points to write ur sumary.

Yes the question always clearly ststes: You need NOT use your own words
But also make sure to exclude examples in the context while writing your points because you should write them as concisely as possible and the examples are simply the excess information.

i agree , but on the other hand if you see the marking schemes they all have atleast 20 points so i dont think we need to write only 15 .
that'll be less.
plus they wont deduct your marks if you write more than 15 so just do it .

marking schemes give us all POSSIBLE answers. obv. it's possible that u select different content points from me. it's a matter of perception to an extent. keeping in mind the candidates' diverse views and answers they cover it all up in the marking schemes. in the examiner report the y wrote "a maximum of 15 points' so i think u shud stick to 15; no more, no less

exactly.

(i) If script is entirely verbatim lift give 0 for content.
this is mentioned in marking scheme june 11. what is actually meant by it?

i think it means that if the answer is an exact re-writing of the text then give 0 marks for content points.

 

[daredevil]

No, you can never start an answer with because directly you have to put three dots before it

are you like 100% sure about it? i mean is ur source authentic? like don't misguide us all ok? no offence.

ok i get the first kind of question but the 2nd kind does not make sense!
these are not two things of the same type. this is a case of like apples and oranges. we number stuff to make a list of the same kind of things. this seems like u have just put in a random number over there. u can number it if u give 2 promises but not like this. i don't think this is right.

Yes, my english teacher who has been teaching in Beaconhouse for more than eight years told me this so yes I can say that it is authentic.
And none taken
