General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS) (6 Viewers)

[levelup888]

Reading time: I see the essay question and all that's going on in my head is 'YES!!' and a dancing... yordle and I was soo happy!
Creative story I'm a bit iffy with since I had to change my planned story more than I would have liked to and had to rush itdue to time constraints. With the unseen texts I hated the fourth text @.@ Loved the first and third one though :3

Overall I'm at least hoping to get 70% for it :3

Haha my main evidence was evolution of the foot motif. I'd say its not paramount to getting a good mark, as long as you talked about something else solidly enough to back it up.

I tried to freehand underline something and I ended up accidentally crossing the whole word out

 

[freakingout2013]

I spent 40 minutes on my essay and got half done.
I found the short answers hell easy and smashed them out in 25 minutes (4 pages!)
Used the remaining 15 minutes of my "short answer time" to write more of my essay - now 3/4 done
Smashed out my story, super creative, made up on the spot - 6 PAGES
Finished my essay - all 12 pages of it.

Had 20 minutes left over.

Expecting between 12-13 out of 15 for each.

[leesh95]

I talked about how it had a recurring motif of feet :S

 

[TurtleyyEpic]

Overall it was ok, my main issue was time management - spent wayyy too long on short answer (50 mins), so I had to rush my creative in less than half an hour. Hoping for a 13/14 in short answer and essay respectively, but perhaps somewhere in the vicinity of 10-12 for creative, it was definitely a little iffy and the stimuli didn't really match my prep which didn't help, so I had to improvise

^ I honestly get that problem during winter!
My lower lip bleeds if I smile too fast...NO JOKE!

I found it so relatable...

 

[louielouiee]

Asked my brother how it went. Apparently great.

 

[hsclover]

When it says "others" does it mean many people or is it okay to show connection to just one person?

I think to one person should be fine, but can't be sure If it were me- I would have equated 'attitudes of others" to a society. But then again, that would only suit some texts

I sneakily included PLACES into "others"...
