General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS) (1 Viewer)

[humbletaco]

Guys, I found the comprehension questions were too complex for the amount of time needed for them. I was really happy with my essay as I prepared an essay for THAT question and my creative fitted perfectly.

I missed out on the 5 marker in comprehension.. Someone console me hahaha

 

[wavess]

Essay structure all over the place but I wrote anything that I had studied! Section I was actually the best of them all.

 

[MELISSACORDOBA]

It was hard but I am sure everyone did okay! Well that's what I keep telling my self.....HAHAHA

 

[onedaysnotice]

It wasn't that bad, but....I FREAKING RAN OUT OF TIME!

Insta-lost 5 marks cuz I didn't get time to do q5 of short answers TT^TT


My story was about a bookworm whose only friends were books, so I used the circle of friends and likened the books to them ahahahha.

 

[Alkanes]

Also a father and son. I only recall that because that is what I used, haha.

Overall though, a pretty guuuud paper.

LOL the dude looked kinda old to be a Dad, so I assumed it was his Grandpa. But doesn't matter, my story was based on a story about a guy and his grandpa anyways , so yea fitted perfectly

Sweet, I linked ones place in society, court vs pastoralism, ones relationships with others, etc, and said how time affected them and how one viewed it. Great to hear!

Mate, 'English Advanced (83)'? Really? REALLY? Inb4 90+

 

[strawberryswing]

On the other hand, WHO LAUGHED SILENTLY WHEN YOU READ THE WORD 'PAPA'?

It distracted me so much, hahaha

 

[cluelessxXxmae]

I loved the creative writing section! Ugh short answers held me back on time (def lost the 5 mark quesion) but I managed to do both section 2 and 3 to a good length in an hour

 

[Poops]

I was just happy that there was no retarded shit. E.g. Feature article or two related text (x

The paper was okay! Section I was a bit confusing. lul

WHAT TECHNIQUE WAS USED FOR THE POEM?! WTF

Everyone keeps saying that, and I really do hope 90+, haha! What's your aim?

Also, I'm hoping for modules to hit 17/20 - A, 18/20 - B and 17/20 - C. Would be a good mark to hit 85+/105.

Short answers were a little difficult, but I guess overall it wasn't the worst paper we could have got :\ That being said, still a fair bit hard than most of the others I've seen. They wanted to you deal with multiple things at once.

Ah dear. I suppose I should have picked up on that, hahahaha. Good on you though!

 

[desmol]

I asked some people in my class and they weren't able to finish it either, so that made me feel a little better hehe...
I'm just worried my essay was too basic/not analytic enough

 

[Artemkin]

creative was probably best, part one questions weren't so bad either. the essay was a meaningless mess, probably the worst i've done...

 

[Alkanes]

Ah dear. I suppose I should have picked up on that, hahahaha. Good on you though!

Hahaha dw too much. The dude coulda been his dad too

 

[Kimyia]

Who else is just glad we're one paper down

 

[asadass]

Thank fuck the question had 'interactions' in it.

Insert generic essay about family, community, and place...
bs some shite about time.

 

[cerebellum]

anyone notice PAPA in the extract,

haha brought back fond memories of SC 2010 xD

Huh? Refresh my memory?

 

[LoveHateSchool]

It was overall a decent paper.

I did creative first, used the grandpa and grandson fishing stimulus-35 mins
Shorts answers I spent too long on-Almost 50 mins
Which means I had to rush my essay unfortunately, but I still wrote two full booklets.

OVERALL: I think I did better in trials, just happy it's over. It was fine.

 

[deswa1]

I don't know haha- I was a bit iffy on this time concept. I think my essay turned out alright though it was only like 1000 words, my creative was good but I'm not sure that I made the stimulus the central idea and short answers idk. We'll see I guess
