How much roughly should be written for the English q's on Paper 1?

Was just curious for the 15 and 20 marker q's on the comprehension, what's a reasonable figure?

I write close to an A4 page on those ones. About 3-4 well developed points is what you need.

Lol! Yeah didn't think of that! I hate thay saying. Still though. You could write a perfect sentence loaded with meaning and spot on the question. But your not going to get full marks unless you talk ****e for ten more minutes. English isn't even an exam. It's just a big pain in the arse.
