lol bus-trip stories... what happens on a bus? I did a train story for my trial and got 12/15.passion89 said:Didn't read your story but I have a few tips from my teacher for the creative section (last year's HSC marker):
*Stay away from 'back to the homeland' stories. Too predictable and frequent.
*Try not to fall in the trap that fantasy=interesting. Few students know how to write a good fantasy style narrative especially in relation to journeys.
*Try not to write any bus-trip stories. They're too boring.
*Stay away from (mostly for imaginative journeys) dreams or 'and then I woke up and it was all a dream'.
*Stay away from 'and then I climbed the Harbour Bridge'. Apparently these stories are wayyyyyyyyy to frequent lol.
*Teenage angst
*Anything remotely emo-ish
If I think of anymore, I'll add it to the list. But that was mostly what my teacher was stressing.
maybe the markers don't like public transport... lolDr_Doom said:lol bus-trip stories... what happens on a bus? I did a train story for my trial and got 12/15.
LOL. oh man thats hilarious.help_me_please said:k - thanks...
i didn't want it to be cliched and i heard that markers mark you better if they're learning something... now this may be my nerdiness coming out, but what about if i did something like this:
---
“101010110001010101010101”
“What? Speak in ASCII.”
“You’re going to have to send it again”
“You have got to be kidding me!”
“The binary was all wrong. Our protocols determine that we’re set at odd parity – if you send something to me with even parity, what do you expect?”
I sigh and send the packet of data again. Being the central processor of a computer etc....
----
lol... does this have the wow factor? or should i go along with the crazy gopher idea??
