Question
Correct a weak response to this AQA English Language objective: Maintain a consistent descriptive viewpoint or perspective.
Answer
Maintain a consistent descriptive viewpoint response: A weak response usually summarises, guesses, or names a method without effect. Improve it by choosing evidence, explaining the effect, and linking the point to audience, purpose or writer purpose method. For Descriptive writing, 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 mistake correction, evidence, explanation and assessment objective visible. Replace summary with a precise point, brief evidence, method, effect and writer purpose so the correction is exam-ready. Descriptive writing should plan audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and structure before drafting.
Common mistake
perspective: summary instead of analysis
Students sometimes summarise Descriptive writing 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 "Maintain a consistent descriptive viewpoint or perspective."
