Ok, I'm getting crap marks for english..14 out of 20 and stuff, can some one tell me please, exactly what is the most affective way to study for english??????????

 

[Minai]

I guess the most effective way is to ask your teacher what ur doin wrong, and how u can improve ur essays
then go home and practice and practice essays then get feedback from teachers
start now while u still have this last 4 weeks of school

aaww ... thanks you guys, just one problem, i give my essays in and i never get it back, the teacher is just too busy...ehehe....wish me luck then i guess.

 

[Minai]

serious?
well, ur at the stage in your high school career where u can DEMAND your essays back from ur teacher...the teacher's top priority should be his/her year 12 class(es) !
good luck btw

yeah, she/he should mark and give them straight back to u... otherwise just keep on pushing and asking her... or him sorry...

 

[Alex]

Or simply give it to a maths teacher to mark it. Hopefully that will piss he/she off enough for them to do it

thats not that bad!!

14/20 is not that bad i mean it could be wrose and that is still 70%! i have been told to write as many essays as possible but i sure as hell dont do it. i have written one and memorised it. it is the best you can do

Minai - the story from 7-11 is "we are busy marking year 12 work" and when you actually get to year 12 you find it still takes just as long to get stuff back.

Or as I discovered, the new excuse for Yr 12 is "We're busy dealing with the incoming Year Sixes.. they are the future, you know!"

B!gMaC >> talk to your English HT. If your English teacher is the HT, talk to your Deputy. Keep going up and up till someone listens to you!

thats a new one!

Or the maths department just gives all the half yearlies to one teacher, who then takes them to Canada with her.

Well at least u r lucky in the fact that your trial paper didnt "get lost." I can't believe they liost 8 pages of my work. that included a 30% essay (which was my best one mind you) and half of my story argh!!!!

Unbelievable, the chances are one in a million , yet it happens to me i can never win!!

ps. they better find my paper. i'm NOT taking an average

 

[sif not 99]

yeah well i know someone at my school who had 3 pages of his 4unit maths paper lost and they refused to credit him for them

now that sucks no average no nothing

 

[Minai]

English was the first exam in our trials

English is the last exam we get back (still havent got it yet)

 

[ShirLz]

hehehe - yeah they lost our paper for the half-yearlies n then made us do another exam - talk bout torture squared to infinity...and yeah, we're still waitin to get the whole trial paper bak for english

ps. i refuse to hold my breath in the vain hope that it will b bak in one piece

Crack up!!

From reading your posts, I'm too busy sitting here cracking up and forgetting about the whole studying business. It seems like a common trait for every English department to show clear signs of disorganisation, I mean from year 9 until now I have had the same english teacher, and during those years, the teacher has 'misplaced' an endless number of work by me, including a brand new work book, in which many blank pages were still available....bbooo hoo, and I spent ages, wrapping that book too...ehehhee....Anyways, thanks for your help.
