this is for english common module, but my friend told me that we should use first person if the question uses second person pronouns.
eg. 2024's question: "In what ways has the study of your prescribed text given you insights into the complex relationship between human qualities, motivations and actions? In your response, make close reference to your prescribed text."

she told me we should use first person, but could we not use 'we' 'our' 'audiences'? like would my topic sentences look like "the crucible provides me insight into how thirst for power leads to religious explotation" (this is a really bad topic sentence)

thank you for any answers, and any examples for reference would be appreciated ^^!

Instead of using first person just constantly refer to the audience. Ur friend is freaking setting u up for failure.. NEVER “use I we our”, that was the yr11 fucking topic ourselves the world and others this is essentially an academic essay so hell NO
