Stop reading like a student. Start thinking like a critic.

In these questions, the examiner doesn't just want to know what happens in the text. They want to know what you think about it. 

Your job is to judge how well the writer has done their job.

💡 The Golden Rule: Judge, Don't Just Tell.

Think of it like writing a review for a game or a film.

The Reporter (0 Marks): "There are lots of explosions in this scene." (Boring. Just a fact.)
The Critic (Gets Marks): "The explosions successfully create a chaotic atmosphere that effectively keeps the audience on the edge of their seat." (That’s an opinion.)

Every time you find a quotation, ask yourself: "So what?"
