He did not disagree with his aunty, though, because he was too choked with expectation, too busy imagining his new life away from the village. They had been walking for a while now, since they got off the lorry at the motor park, and the afternoon sun burned the back of his neck. But he did not mind. He was prepared to walk hours more in even hotter sun. He had never seen anything like the streets that appeared after they went past the university gates, streets so smooth and tarred that he itched to lay his cheek down on them. He would never be able to describe to his sister Anulika how the bungalows here were painted the colour of the sky and sat side by side like polite well-dressed men, how the hedges separating them were trimmed so flat on top that they looked like tables wrapped with leaves.  \nHow does the writer use language here to describe Ugwu’s impression of the city? You could include the writer’s choice of:  \n• words and phrases  \n• language features and techniques  \n• sentence forms.  \n[8 marks]  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\noutside the box  \n|  |\n| --- |\n| 8 |\n\nExtra space    \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nTurn over for the next question  \noutside the box  \n 0  3  You now need to think about the whole of the source.  \nThis text is from the opening of a novel.  \nHow has the writer structured the text to interest you as a reader?  \nYou could write about:  \n• what the writer focuses your attention on at the beginning of the source  \n• how and why the writer changes this f","cbCaicSIdmyCekEB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicSIdmyCekEB","pdf",4501010,24,"English","# Section A: Reading\n## Question 1\n## Question 2\n## Question 3\n## Question 4","[{\"question\":\"What are the assessment purposes of Section A and Section B on this paper?\",\"answer\":\"Section A assesses the quality of reading, while Section B assesses the quality of writing.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Question 2 ask you to analyze?\",\"answer\":\"Question 2 focuses on the writer’s use of language to describe Ugwu’s impression of the city, including words and phrases, techniques, and sentence forms.\"},{\"question\":\"What instructions apply to answering, including materials and restrictions?\",\"answer\":\"Answer all questions in the spaces provided, use black ink, refer to the insert booklet, do rough work in the book, and do not use a dictionary.\"}]","GCSE English Language Paper 1 - Explorations in creative reading and writing - Exam questions | PDF"]
