    Do We Need to Keep A Journal For Ext Eng?

    We were also told to do this for crime fiction. The point, I guess, is to help to develop your ideas for your story, as this is a major part of the course (50%) and it is apparently poorly done in general. Not many people actually kept theirs up though. I sure didn't.

    General Thoughts - English Paper 1 2007

    Was not bad at all. I think I did a fair bit better than in my trial. My only problem was in section 3 because I didn't get up to my fourth text and I really wanted to use it. Oh well. Have now thrown out my journeys notes. It felt good.

    Digital Camera

    I have the same thing: It kicks arse as a camera but you can't really take it around with you everywhere so it's kind of worse for holiday snaps. edit: these are fantastic photos! Seriously, everyone, check them out!

    Chilli

    So who else is addicted to the sensation of their tounges being burned out? I don't know why but I love it. I'm not talking pissy mild stuff here, but the kind that you only need about half a teaspoon of to make your eyes start watering and your mouth feel like it's on fire. Anyone else?

    A Hypothetical regarding Speeches

    Hypothetically, your teachers should take it into consideration when they're marking. It's unlikely they will mark your down for stuttering etc. but they can't mark you hypothetically just on your hard copy because hypothetically you have to deliver it orally and within a certain time frame, and...

    Spelling variation

    Write really small so they can't tell if you've spelt it right or not.

    helllp. advice on my creative writing peice. PLEASE READ.

    [/FONT] This is a fantastic start to your story. The concept is great, as even though you've addressed the topic of death you've steered clear of a cliche. My only suggestion for this piece is that you need to watch your spelling, punctuation and occasionally your word choice. Use punctuation...

    Personal voice in essays!? HELP!

    That's not true any more. In a history essay, no, you wouldn't. But in english they now see addressing the question as an important component. To address this question you have to refer to your own opinions using personal pronouns. The thing here is that they don't ask for an essay every...

    Personal voice in essays!? HELP!

    Personal voice is where you refer to your own opinions ie. "An exploration of this text has influenced my understanding." Have a very close look at the question: If it asks how it has influenced YOU or what YOU thought about it, you have to answer that aspect of the question.

    To all the people posting threads on cheating...

    Oh ok I get you now. That's fair enough. I've seen so many people work late every night, work ten hours straight every day in the holidays, etc, to get where they are. It's just not fair on them. Luckily, though, they are the ones that will kick arse in real life.

    To all the people posting threads on cheating...

    I would have titled the thread "To all the people posting threads on copying someone else's work or accessing unseen exam papers prior to the exam in order to gain an advantage over others and a mark and rank they do not, by merit, deserve." But it was too long.

    I know. It's a rank. You got my meaning anyway.

    To all the people posting threads on cheating...

    (how to/ should I etc.) Where is your integrity? Keep in mind that there are a lot rules on what you can/can't do in exams. Generally this means someone's tried it before and gotten caught. You probably will be caught. There's no point, really. You might increase your UAI by one tenth of...
