  1. Writing OPENINGS Make yours a hook to catch the examiner’s attention and make them think ‘credit pupil’ immediately!

  2. Personal Writing: Hooks With my pulse thumping in my ears, I entered the room for the second time that morning when I made my entrance with Rebecca on my right, Ellie and Rachael on my left. Together, in synchronisation, we performed our Highland Dance routines: the dreaded Sword Dance and the Highland Fling. The room was long with a a high ceiling and white walls. At the far end sat the four judges who would decide our fate as dancers. The music started and we began.

  3. Personal Writing: Reflection My friends play an important part in my life and they mean a lot to me. They make me happy; they can make me sad; they can sometimes control all my emotions. My friends are always there for me to turn to. We have our bad times and that makes life hard sometimes but it only makes friendship stronger in the long run.

  4. Top Tips Don’t describe for describing sake! Try to make the description say something about character/setting/mood – She had blue eyes, long blonde hair, and wore pink lip gloss. Her cold blue eyes behind her long blonde fringe suggested her sugar-pink lip gloss was the only hint of sweetness she possessed. The car was hot as we drove to the cliff-top car park. My skin stuck to the hot leather car seat while the window was warm as I rested my head on the glass, hoping for a hint of chill. I gazed at the horizon, hoping for a chilly breeze when we reached the cliff-top car park.

  5. Show DON’T Tell Jeanie felt really, really bored in class. Jeanie couldn’t believe that only two minutes had passed. Was that clock broken? Had time slowed down? She started counting the number of seconds until the end of class, a project that ended when she couldn’t stop an enormous yawn from escaping.

  6. Imagery Use metaphor, simile and personification to help along description in your essay. Check they work, though! E.g. As I watched the crash, everything was in slow motion, like watching a tortoise. As I watched the crash, everything was in slow motion, as if time had been stretched. Avoid clichés. I had butterflies in my stomach. She looked as cold as ice.
