TOP TIPS FOR WHY HAVE THEY USED THESE WORDS? If you are being asked to comment on words Do NOT NOT NOT repeat the word or phrase they have used!!!! E.G. What does the word burst tell us about the movement – don’t say - because it was bursting through!

TOP TIPS FOR WHY HAVE THEY USED THESE WORDS? If you are being asked to comment on words – imagine you a a living thesaurus and think of other words it means! burst = quick, sharp, explosive, fast, powerful, unexpected, Then chose 2 quite different words from your mental list – e.g. quick and powerful. Then make your sentence:- “ the word burst makes the reader think that the lava is moving very quickly and is so powerful that is can break the hard rock.”

TOP TIPS FOR WHY HAVE THEY USED THESE WORDS? If you are being asked to comment on a metaphor or a similie you need to think about the meaning of the comparison. “Its the second death of Pompeii” Death of a city = its being destroyed Second = its happened before He means that the Pompeii will be destroyed just like it was before by the volcano.

TOP TIPS FOR WHY HAVE THEY USED THESE WORDS? If you are being asked to comment on a metaphor or a similie you need to think about the meaning of the comparison. The hailstones were like golf balls hitting a tin roof. Golf balls hitting a tin roof = very loud Golf balls = white and round He means that hailstones were making a very loud sound. He could also be comparing the size of the hailstones to the size of golfablls.

TOP TIPS FOR WHY HAVE THEY USED THESE WORDS? If you are being asked to comment something a character says which sounds as if they are saying the opposite of what they mean. My precious ironing board – precious and ironing board are words that do not really go together so she is being sarcastic or humourous. I can’t wait for my delightful SATS tests! – you would n’t use delightful and tests together!! So the person is trying to be funny or sarcastic.

TOP TIPS FOR WHY HAVE THEY USED THESE WORDS? If you are being asked to comment on the choice of a name for something. It is usually a compund word made of two words which hold meaning. Batman – he’s called bat man because he flies like bat, dresses like a bat and he is a man. I am suffering from Sats-ache – if you ache it means you are probably ill. The Sats at the beginning of the word is telling us that it’s the Sats that are making him ill.
