Question
Correct a weak response to this AQA English Language objective: Use introductions and endings that suit the audience and purpose.
Answer
Use introductions and endings that 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 Writing for audience, purpose and form, 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. Writing for audience, purpose and form should identify a structure method, such as opening, shift, focus, pace or ending, and explain its effect. Writing for audience, purpose and form should plan audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and structure before drafting.
