The bottom half of the garden was an overgrown mess, a muddle of trees and shrubs. An ancient mulberry tree stood at the centre. Its massive twisted branches drooped to the ground in places, its knuckles in the earth like a gigantic malformed hand. The wintry sun hung low in the sky and the gnarled growth threw long twisted shadows across the undergrowth within its cage. The trunk of the tree was snarled with the tangled ivy that grew up through the broken bricks and chunks of cement, choking it. The path that led down towards the fence at the bottom, which marked the garden off from an orchard beyond, disappeared into a mass of nettles and brambles before it reached the padlocked door.  \nHow does the writer use language here to describe the garden? 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| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n|  | 8 |\n|  |  |\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  \n0  3  You now need to think about the whole of the source.  \nThis text is from the beginning 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 focus as the source develops  \n• any other structural features that interest yo","cbCaipASZ4DUFRXG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipASZ4DUFRXG","pdf",820854,1,24,"English","en",105,"# Section A: Reading\n## Question 1\n## Question 2\n## Question 3\n## Question 4","[{\"question\":\"What are the key instructions for answering this GCSE English Language Paper 1?\",\"answer\":\"Answer all questions in the spaces provided, use black ink or black ball-point pen, refer to the provided insert booklet, and do rough work in the book, crossing out anything not meant to be marked.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Section A assess in this paper?\",\"answer\":\"Section A assesses the quality of reading through focused questions on a source extract, including listing details, analyzing language choices, and examining structure.\"},{\"question\":\"What kind of response is required for Question 4?\",\"answer\":\"Question 4 requires evaluating agreement with a statement about the stranger child’s disappearance, considering how the writer presents the child and supporting the response with references to the text.\"}]","GCSE English Language Paper 1 -
