There's not too much on english so i just wanted to share what i'd done in preperation for the exam and to ask question.
I learnt what the following mean:
Prose - informal language that is like everyday speech
Metaphor - a comparison of two things saying one is the other
Simile - a comparison of two objects using like or as
Tautology - using more words than necessary to convey a point
Euphemism - using polite words to cover up something socially frowned upon saying
I know the following text structures:
Interviews - need banter between both parties
Narrative - Orientation, Complication, Series of steps, Climax and Resolution
Recount - Orientation, series of steps, conclusion
Essay & Speech- Intro., Body, Conclusion
Newspaper article - short, snappy, to the point
I learnt some big words (that i think are big) and how to use semi-colons, colons and direct speech because my teacher told us its the only way you can get a band 6 in the extended responses.
Some of my big words:
- Inconsequential
-Verbose
-Egotistical
And now my questions:
1. Have you prepared any ideas for short stories in case it comes up?
2. What are some of your big words?
