well not really if it's an important part of ur speech. Plus these are words from the rubric so they're important. But maybe search up synonyms for the words if it becomes too repetitive

Guys we should do a bos meetup during the hols and maybe we can do study sessions together too.

Aaaa thats a hard decision!
On average Aboriginal studies scales worse than food tech-
However in the higher bands (top 10%) Aboriginal studies can scale better!
So in my opinion, if you're not going fantastic in Aboriginal Studies, drop that, especially if its your weakest subject
But dropping food tech can work if your going well in Aboriginal Studies, just depends how your doing overall

OMG, thank you so much! You're a real one!
My rank is very good in both subjects, but higher in Aboriginal Studies, though it's a small class. The only problem is I have no actual reason to drop Food Tech, but I do for Aboriginal Studies, kinda. Even though I do well, it still feels wrong to drop it. The Major project is really stressing me out, but Idk if it's worth dropping it bc of that. And if I do, it may be a waste of like my achievement towards my ATAR, like not as high if I keep it. It's such a hard choice bc I don't want to regret it.

I feel like after exam life has been anticlimactic. I feel like it should be more exciting than it is. Maybe when it's actually the hols it will get more exciting

I'd say don't drop food tech then. And only drop Aboriginal Studies if it is one of your worst subjects, since most of your subjects scale better than Aboriginal studies. However the Scaling for Aboriginal Studies significantly increases around the top 10%, so don't drop if your good at it

Yes haha, thank you so much for your help! I'll probably just end up doing it out so I don't regret it

Real. It's a sort of melancholic feeling. Happy that's its over, but lost as you don't have anything to worry about.

I teach my students tonight use words such as : furthermore, / consequently , similarly. . As well as sentences starting something like. Responders are challenged / invited / encouraged to examine …….
