I can give it a go in making an English paper (going to vary due to what people see in schools), but a lot of my questions are just going to be in the same style and format that I follow with my school. I can provide you guys some extracts and questions to answer and give a go. Marking wise, I am not that great an examiner although I'd be happy to provide any feedback necessary to assist.

Not a genius. :) I'll go through and take a look at some of the essays I've done in the past that might be able to indicate the difference between a good essay and a brilliant essay that leaves a mark on your teachers. (ofc - not all my essays are brilliant, takes a lot of effort and dedication)

Why don't we just have an essay sharing thread? It doesn't matter if we haven't done the topic: just looking at the structure/expression of the essay would be enough :)

thoughts?

Unfortunately, I didn't sign up for it this year. I did the writing competition though.

Actually a very nice idea. I'd be happy to contribute a few of my essays. I can PM you guys a pretty decent paper that I wrote for English about censorship - hopefully you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Our school doesn't offer it, because we apparently suck at English. We only do Maths, Computer Skills (idek why) and Science. :(
