I really need to read examples to do good in my exams in Oct/Nov .

Uh, well I don't have it like that.
It's in hard copy form and all I can do is take a pic and upload.

Why don't you buy any IGCSE Guide?

I used this one during my IGCSEs. It was pretty good

I don't think you actually need a study guide. English, unlike other subjects is not something you can study hard for. Its something you get from reading alot, writing alot and speaking in good english.

But you also need to know how the examiner will mark your paper and what exactly they are looking for.

However, like you said, to do well in English you need be exposed to a lot of good literature.

[adrian1993]

Well, Ari, that can be accomplished by reading the marking schemes online. Its quite broadly defined so its not something strictly set in stone.

Yeah, true, but it gives you a general idea. You can work out how to conform to the set standard.

You know for the language analysis part ? Open up the Examiner's Report, they ALWAYS give examples of the best answers to that question.
