Revising the English Language Paper 1 Structure
English language paper 1 is an exam in two parts. Section A tests reading: a single unseen literary-style text followed by questions on vocabulary, language, structure and evaluation. Section B tests writing: a descriptive or narrative task, usually marked for content, organisation and technical accuracy. A paper 1 mind map helps you see how these sections link and which skills each question needs.
- Section A reading: vocabulary, language analysis, structure and evaluation questions
- Question skills: retrieving information, analysing technique, comparing effects
- Section B writing: descriptive or narrative task with planning steps
- Writing criteria: content and organisation, style and vocabulary, sentence structure and punctuation
- Timing: rough time split between reading and writing
Use the map to check you can answer each question type, then practise with past papers. You can build a personalised paper 1 map from your own notes with CogniGuide.
