SOLVING PAST PAPERS | FIRST LANGUAGE ENGLISH | READING | PAPER 1 | QUESTION 1 | CAMBRIDGE IGCSE

Описание: In this lesson, we walk step by step through Question 1 of the IGCSE First Language English Paper 1: Reading, using the latest specimen paper for the 2027 examination onwards. You will learn how to approach each sub-question with confidence, accuracy and clear exam technique.

We begin with simple retrieval skills, showing how to locate precise answers directly from the text, including how small language clues like conjunctions can guide you to the correct response.

From there, we move into vocabulary in context, breaking down how to find clear synonymous meanings without repeating the words given in the question. You will see how to combine meanings carefully to form strong, complete answers.

Next, we explore short response and bullet-point questions, focusing on:
• Identifying key ideas quickly
• Separating points clearly
• Avoiding unnecessary detail

We then tackle inferential questions, where you learn how to read between the lines and turn evidence from the text into logical conclusions.

A large section of the lesson is dedicated to analytical responses, including how to:
• Select relevant evidence
• Explain what it shows
• Link your ideas back to the question

You will also see how examiners expect you to handle questions that present different viewpoints, using evidence from later paragraphs to challenge earlier conclusions.

Finally, we cover language analysis, demonstrating how writers use specific words and phrases to create effects, and how to explain these effects clearly for full marks.

Throughout the tutorial, each answer is linked carefully to the relevant reading standards, so you understand not just what to write, but why it earns marks.

This lesson is ideal for:
✔ IGCSE First Language English students
✔ Learners preparing for the new 2027 syllabus
✔ Teachers looking for structured walkthroughs
✔ Anyone who wants to improve reading comprehension and exam technique

By the end of the video, you will feel more confident tackling:
• Retrieval questions
