anyone who is good at both of them is extremely lucky , lucky bastards
If you're good at Math but bad at English, you're looking at math wrong. if you're bad at Math and good at English, you're looking at English wrong.
Both of them focus on communicating an idea.
The good English essay or story, shouldn't be DEPEND on the markers mood, it should dictate the markers mood. Your intro should induce the right mood you want the reader to be in to receive the rest well...
I know a lot of teachers say, just follow this structure... follow it. But don't be afraid to add to it. The most you can hope to get with stock-structure, and stock-arguments (arguments and structure discussed in class) is 15/20.
-Just think about what the questions asking, and form an intelligent and really DEEP and applicable idea about it, this is why i don't like using regurgitated essays, or even the regurgitated main points... The main points of your essay should be based on the question. It makes no sense to memorize the main points and adapt them to the question, that's like... trying to adapt and elephant to fly. Its most likely going to fall flat on its face no matter how hard you throw it. It needs to be designed from the ground up to answer the question.
-Read novels and books, and don't be afraid to use descriptive langauage in an essay. "We see that this character from this text has been warped into this other character in adaption of the text." (notice "warped" instead of just transformed, or changed, this IS what they mean by flare)
-Do not view English as pure subjectivity, and maths as pure objectivity. English combines the knowledge of structure, with the creative application of language.
-Maths combines the knowledge of the language, with an application of creativity manipulating ideas.
