Had paper one of english trials yesterday. The creative writing section really stumped me. It went something like "a group of old high school class mates are having a conversation, one of them says 'we were having trouble in our business, we nearly lost it because we didn't adjust, until i heard a funny little story'. Write the story he heard"
Something like that! I had NO idea what to write! I was just wondering if everyone else got a similar question or completely different?:(

seems like it means that the story should be about how u should change to adjust to the surroundings...thats only what i can learn from that..

We did that qu in year 11 for a task!! It is something to do with the book "who ate my cheese" or something - i remember there was a real story cause my teacher asked if anyone had read it before hand :p

ours was a reflective entry about how things change and how they dont or somethin like that

claire, your question asks for something funny, somethin subjective, thats a very badly worded question,
what if theres a student thats sadistic and finds that funny :(

u know how the first part of the paper is supposed to be easy - sources and shit? it was the hardest part! instead of any visual reps which the teachers were teachin us how to respond to we got 3 page descriptions of landscapes ...was so bad

our creative writing was something like "Texts 1, 2 and 3 have represented change in the form of some event or place. Write a composition based on own personal experiences that reflect change of an event or place. Start with the words, "Things are different now...."


it wasnt as bad as some of the others i heard but i got lost in my story - it started off with a bang but jus got worse and worse. hope i learn from that.

good luck everyone. i know what your goin thru and its not nice...

I was actually pretty pleased with our Creative Writing section. I can't remember the wording exactly, but the question asked you to write a speech to your peers on: "Change yourself, and you can change the world."

Omg it sounds like we did the same thing as you!!! Were your texts like a poem, interviews and exerpts of a story?

our creative writing was something like "Texts 1, 2 and 3 have represented change in the form of some event or place. Write a composition based on own personal experiences that reflect change of an event or place. Start with the words, "Things are different now...."

Ours was EXACTLY the same
