- 1Using Your Own WorksUsing your own words means you may have to:
Explain what a word or expression in the passage means
Explain the main point the writer is making
Give the reason for something that happens in the passage
Show that you understand a piece of information the passage gives - 2Context QuestionYou may be asked to work out from the context what a word or expression
means. In these cases, the examiners think that you may not know the
given word, but that you should be able to work it out from what surrounds
it in the passage. - 3Imagery questionsWriters use images to strengthen what they say by putting all sorts of
pictures in the reader’s mind. Imagery is not the same as description. A
description tells us what something is like. An image shows that one thing
is somehow like another. The comparison tells us more about the thing
that is being compared. Similes, metaphors and personification are all
different sorts of image, though most of the images you will be asked about
will be metaphors. - 4Quote Find the correct lines.
