    ACRONYMS anyone?

    For the Ottawa Charter, we use: Dogs Can't See Rabbits Blindfolded And for the Jakarta Declaration: Pretty (Promote social responsibility for health) Silly (Secure an infrastructure for health promotion) Charter (Consolidate and expand partnerships for health) Idiots...

    History Question Plz

    I think I talked about Albert Speer's life and how historical events had an impact on it - eg. the Great Depression made his early life as an architect difficult due to a lack of Commissions, and that Speer designed the May Day celebrations and Nuremberg rally after the Nazi's gained power. And...

    your opinions on experimenting with drugs.. while on schoolies?

    Lol, this is the reason I'm staying far away from Schoolies... no I'm not contributing anything to the thread really, so carry on your conversation and ignore this, by all means.

    How competitive is year 12?

    Haha, we have 31 people in total in our year. My biggest class has eleven people (English). Smallest is 5 (Ext 1). So our rankings weren't all that competitive! I feel sorry for you guys at huge schools who find it so competitive - but I guess, if you do your best, you'll get the mark you...

    Hey, don't worry! I didn't mention critics, and I'm not worried at all. It asked for a personal response, so as long as you talked about what you believe is the most 'memorable' idea you'll be fine. I guess you could mention critics, but they're not necessary.

    Modules Adv... memorising essays, winging or in between?

    How do you know what to write your prepared/generic/whatever essay on without knowing what the question will be? You can't answer the question if you don't know what it is.... I'm sorry, but I just can't understand the mindset of memorising a generic essay. Sure, memorise quotes, techniques...

    What do you want to be when you grow up? Plans for after the HSC?

    I've applied to do Physiotherapy at Newcastle, but I'm also interested in Speech Pathology, Arts (Theatre), Journalism and International Studies. I wish they had a combined Physio/International Studies degree (but it'd probably take about 10 years to finish it!) I'm taking a gap year first -...

    Quick english question

    Hi, I thought I'd reply seeing as you seem disheartened at no-one replying - although I'm not sure how much I can help. I would say that a speech is dialogue, but I don't do that Module so I can't say for sure. All I would suggest would be checking the syllabus on BoS, or maybe you could ring...

    memoir, speech or story?

    I did the speech, because i thought I could adapt one of the ideas I had. I wrote it from the point of view of a girl who'd recently come back from a trip overseas, and had been asked to talk about it, but decided that she wanted to talk instead about her grandmother, who'd taken a similiar trip...

    Do you use prepared English essays?

    I'm honestly so surprised at the number of people who memorise generic essays and then tweak them for the question. No-one at my school does (of course, we have about 10 people in the class) and our teacher kept telling us not to do that. I think you're probably safer just to know the texts and...

    What do you do the day before an exam?

    Yeah, I've had quite a few people wish me luck too.... It shouldn't make you feel bad though, remember they're doing it because they have confidence in you - use their well-wishing to make you have confidence in you! Oh, and I've noticed a few people saying they're spending the day desperately...

    Why The Big Sleep?

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Carmen who killed Regan. It's been a while since I watched it by now, but I definitely got the impression that Marlowe was covering for Carmen by blaming Mars (he couldn't exactly defend himself, being dead and all.) That girl really needed help.
