  14. Question A Explaining the meaning of a word Present tense Give an example For example Such as An example would be

  15. Question B: expressing your own point of view Sentence to establish your opinion First person I do not agree believe miracles have happened because amazing occurrences can often have a scientific explanation, for example if someone has cancer and is cured, it is always by the medicine and research that is logically done, not by anything spiritual. Another reason for my view is that although the bible states that Jesus rose from the dead, and that was a miracle, no such thing has happened since or recently, therefore I don’t think it is possible and therefore miracles don’t occur. Score 4/4 – Sophie Booth May 2013 exam. Use of first person to express your opinion Specific vocabulary

  16. Question C: writing an explanation A general sentence about the subject of the explanation Specific vocabulary There are theories that God created the world in the Bible, but there are also scientific theories that counteract such theories. This immediately gives something gives something for non-religious people to believe, in terms of how the world was created that isn’t to do with God, and can completely remove the idea that God even exists from their head. The story of creation from God is based upon people’s stories passed down for thousands of years and many have been even changes or lost in translation. Contrary, to this, the scientific theories like the big bang are based on scientific evidence, such as red shift, showing the world is still expanding. This could lead people not to believe in God as it proves he didn't create the world, so everything about him might be false. Also the big bang theory, that is widely accepted by scientists and the public almost suggests that science and nature are more powerful than God. God is believed to be omnipotent so if there is a being more powerful, then perhaps this could lead people to believe he doesn’t exist. Score 8/8 – Jack Leyland May exam 2013. Connectives to explain consequences Connectives to sequence ideas

  17. Question D: writing a discussion Comparing two points of view. Sentence to establish your opinion First person (i) I agree that the media helps people to believe in God, for example in Bruce Almighty. One problem with God’s existence is how many prayers are left unanswered . But in the film, it’s shown that some prayers are best left unanswered, such as Bruce praying for love and illustrates why God would not answer prayers, which explains how God’s mind works and that he does exist. Also in Bruce Almighty, God's existence is never questioned throughout the film. This shows and leads the audience to believe that he quite simply does exist. Score 3/3 (ii) However, God’s powers are given to Bruce in the film which shows that God has an equal. Roman Catholics believe that God is all powerful and has no equal, so this is a problem with the film and how it promotes God’s existence. Also, God gives his powers to Bruce despite how much he foul-mouths God throughout the film. Bruce doesn’t deserve God’s love and so suggests that people’s views on God is different to how he’s presented in the film, so people may even start to not believe in God due to the media’s presentation of God. Score 3/3 Jack Leyland – May 2013 exam Connective to introduce the opposing point of view Specific vocabulary
