Thank you for all the replies.
My teacher had given me two articles but I was thinking of finding my own..
how should I go about looking for ones myself? I tried searching truth or something over the internet but was unsuccesful.
do you mean you actually write 7-8 A4 size pages? because the equivalent to 8-7 pages for a HSC essay paper would be about 3-4 pages.. i suppose something like that
