    Memorising 5 essays for the trials...

    Sad. With the exception of the STORY - all of your essays WILL be adaptable to the question. When writing a top notch essay you plan to memorise, you WILL have a criteria in front of you - this is called the RUBRIC. The question for ANY examination must come from the RUBRIC.

    Uhm, I believe the way internal marks work are this: They are used for rank, AND, the difference between marks. Once all the external marks have come back, ie, what you got on your MW + RS, they'll allocate the highest mark from these marks as the assessment mark of the person ranked 1st. And...

    Does Your Eng Ext 2 Major Work, Have To Be Related To Literature?

    While the subject matter of the Major Work can be about anything, it can't SIMPLY be a story about OCD. It should have some grounding in literature, and your research should lead you to read many texts (from and outside of your selected medium) that also focus on the topic, so that you can have...

    Random facts about your stories.

    I know its all done and stuff. But 12 main characters is far too many. For the purposes of an effective short story, I'd be wary of even three, with 2 being okay.

    The word is also Amen, but pronounced as A-meen, not 'men' as in English. Furthermore, if you don't know the very basics of a religion, why are you writing about it?
