With you for the next hour...

Right, let's start posting some meaningful stuff!

In response to Chris' question, 'Do not get hung up on how to start.'

In the READING section, it is not really important at all. A significant intro is not really required. It is far more essential that you GET YOUR WORK DOWN ON PAPER.

Therefore, just go straight into it. "One language feature which the author uses to affect our view is..." "Similarly, another language feature that the author uses is..."

Its really that simple!

In WRITING section it is a little more complex as your intro HAS to grab the attention of the marker. Think of a really killer first sentence that will really grab their attention. You can sort of plan that now really...

"If there is one subject that tends to test the patience of your every day man-about-town, it is [subject]."

"Bring up the subject of [subject], and you are pretty much guaranteed to divide opinion in a split-second."

That kind of thing.

Read the PPT which I linked you to yesterday "How to achieve an A/A* in the writing section. This has lots of help in this matter...in fact, there is a whole section on it!
