Reflection
Thoughtful consideration of language use, decisions made, and what was learned through the language investigation or original writing process.
Real World
A journalist revising a feature article on knife crime might reflect that their initial use of statistics felt detached, and that switching to a personal testimony made the piece more emotionally credible — this is the kind of evaluative thinking examiners reward.
Exam Focus
Use hedged, evaluative language ('I considered…', 'in hindsight…') to signal genuine reflection rather than summary.
