Here are my model answers to questions 1 to 5 of the AQA Language Paper 1 exam where the exam was based on an extract from Life of Pi. They may be useful for students who want to know how they could have improved on their mock.
It does not include the extract or the exact wording of the questions. The extract and questions are available for download on the AQA website.
Each answer has been written to try and aim for the top band of the mark scheme.
For Q5, I chose to do the story rather than the description and used the drop, shift, zoom, leave method. I have also included a step by step guide with prompts for how to use this method.
The extracts and questions papers can be found on the AQA website.
