English Literature - H072 試験対策

よくあるミス

1. 1high影響する配点: 12Comparative Prose (Paper 2 Section 2)

   Treating the unseen prose extract in Paper 2 Section 2 as a standalone passage rather than directly comparing its structure and narrative strategies to the studied novel.

   回避方法: Plan comparative touchpoints during your 15-minute reading time. Start body paragraphs with comparative topic sentences and alternate focus between your studied text and the unseen passage using clear connective words.
2. 2high影響する配点: 9Contextual Integration (AO3)

   Dropping in pre-memorized biographical details or historical facts (e.g., Rossetti's work at Highgate Penitentiary) in long, unintegrated chunks without connecting them to the language of the prompt's extract.

   回避方法: Ensure contextual details (AO3) are tightly integrated with language analysis (AO2). Use historical details to explain how the author's choice of specific words, symbols, or syntax reflects or challenges their contemporary setting.
3. 3medium影響する配点: 6Drama and Shakespeare Analysis

   Treating characters as real people with psychological realism rather than dramatic constructions built by authors to convey specific themes.

   回避方法: Avoid writing 'Hamlet feels sad because...'. Instead, use active verbs showing the author at work: 'Shakespeare constructs Hamlet's psychological instability to dramatize...'
4. 4high影響する配点: 15Essay Structure and Argumentation

   Failing to address the specific terms of the question, opting instead to reproduce pre-packaged thematic or character essays with minimal adjustments.

   回避方法: Unpack the prompt's key nouns and verbs in your introduction, define them, and construct a bespoke thesis statement that directly challenges or agrees with the provided quotation.
5. 5medium影響する配点: 8Pre-1900 Poetry Form (AO2)

   Ignoring structural, poetic, and metric elements (e.g. iambic pentameter, hexameters, enjambment, caesurae, and stanza patterns) and focusing exclusively on lexical analysis/metaphors.

   回避方法: Dedicate specific parts of your poetry essay to analyzing form. Note how rhythm changes, line breaks, and stanza transitions reinforce or disrupt the emotional mood of the piece.
6. 6high影響する配点: 10Drama and Shakespeare Staging (AO2)

   Failing to engage with the theatrical and staging qualities of Shakespeare and Modern Drama, analyzing them as if they were simple prose novels.

   回避方法: Explicitly reference performance elements, such as stage directions, exits, entries, structural divisions, audience responses, and the visual impact of props or setting in your analysis.
