Question

Plan one focused paragraph for this AQA English Language objective: Distinguish between what the text states directly and what the reader can infer.

Answer

Distinguish between what the text response: The paragraph should make one point, use concise evidence or a precise example, explain the effect, and finish by returning to the question wording. For Understanding fiction sources, keep one clear focus, select brief evidence or a planned example, explain the method or writing choice, and link the point to effect, audience, purpose, form or tone where relevant.

Explanation

This is effective because it makes the paragraph planning, evidence, explanation and assessment objective visible. Keep one point per paragraph, support it with concise evidence or an example, then link the explanation back to the task. Distinguish between what the text states should use brief evidence and explain what that evidence implies, so the inference is not just explicit summary. Understanding fiction sources should plan audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and structure before drafting.

Common mistake

distinguish: summary instead of analysis

Students sometimes summarise Understanding fiction sources instead of explaining how the objective works in the answer.

Correct this by selecting a brief detail, explaining its effect, and linking the point back to "Distinguish between what the text states directly and what the reader can infer."
