Lately I’ve been thinking how hard it is to find a novel I truly enjoy. I start so many, then give up. It makes me wonder: in theory, is it possible to write the kind of novel you’d love to read? Not for fame or fortune, but for the enjoyment?

[Mr Bruff @MrBruffEnglish]

@theoneharbourne I have attended AQA CPD about the 2026 changes. I did have contact with AQA at one point to clarify forms in p2q5, & they said it can still be all types. If you tweet @AQAEnglish they are great and will confirm the latest.

[Mr Bruff @MrBruffEnglish]

I get this question a lot, and yes I am sure! November 2017 was two narrative options. You will not ALWAYS be able to choose between narrative and descriptive in AQA P1Q5.

@FunkyPedagogy Particularly when you consider this from the June 2017 exam report:

[Mr Bruff @MrBruffEnglish]

@mrs_denglish @FunkyPedagogy Having said all this, I wasn't a fan of the spoken language study when that was in the spec. Not sure what I would want it to look like really.
