A question about the english language paper 2 today?

Question

On section B, is it okay to make up a famous person, when writing to describe.

Answer 1

Theres always something our teachers tell us.. It does not matter whether you write/say the truth.. The examiners have millions of papers to mark, they just scan through the papers, and watch out for the use of correct English, and the techniques used e.g. metaphors, smileys, personification etc. They will not check and research whether whom you wrote about it a true or a fake person.. Be comfortable, do not worry.. What you have done is perfectly right.. Your grade will not be effected at all..

Answer 2

Yep, as long as you still include everything that is needed for that particular question.

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure it would be okay, there are so many famous people any way I doubt your teacher would even notice.

Answer 4

Quick! run for Mexico. That is your best option at this point.

Answer 5

Since the question is to "Explain" I would say, YES. My friend also did this, I think its perfectly fine. I think it doesnt matter who you write about, its about the skills used. As far as im concerned, new famous people appear all the time...

Answer 6

as far as I know it is ok becuase they are marking your english skills rather than your truth telling skills, anyway its too late to change now so dont worry

Answer 7

i would say no

Answer 8

Yeah It Is, How is the examiner meant to know who is real or not?

Thats what our teacher told us anyway.

Answer 9

yeah it is, it's not as though they'd be able to find out anyway...there's countless amounts of famous people nowadays.

Although...maybe I'm just telling myself that because I made up mine too.
