At our school we haven't finished all our modules in class yet. We still haven't even started the club. So we just got two questions to do on witness and bruce dawe. Though we only got 80 minutes for our exam to compensate for the missing question.
Hey we also got 5 minutes at the start for reading time. Do all schools get that??

Did you guys manage to completele any of your sections?

It seems like a few of my friends completed their sections.

I ran out of time for ALL my sections :(
I wrote:
3 pages for Module A- "Stolen"
2 Pages for Module B- "Witness"
1 1/4 pages for Module C- Bruce Dawe

I have GOT to learn how to manage my time better

I found the paper pretty alright... I wrote 3 for dialogue 4 for witess and 4 for Consumerism!

My interveiw was pretty plain... I used fight club and an article called " Culture Vultures"...

Anyway, I am glad that English is over and GOODLUCK TO ALL

i think i did ok. I only wrote about 2 1/2 pages for each of them, but i'm sure i did better in this than the AOS

My consumerism question was kinda stupid i thought, i just crapped on

essay on image was easy... essay on macbeth was easy except i didnt know 2 soliloquies, i only knew one which wasnt too good for this question(lady macbeth & her unsexing)... interviewing bruce dawe was pretty straight froward except i never got to finish... if were talkin page wise...

image: 3 pages
macbeth: 2 pages
bruce dawe(consumerism): 4&1/2 pages

i had trouble writing on macbeth since i didnt know my second soliloquie too well! :(

ooh! I loved this paper! I was so happy with it. I'd seen last year's Catholic trials so i was pretty freaked out wondering what this would be like. I think if i'd actually studied Mabeth I would have written more in it.
I wrote:
Image: 5 pages
Macbeth: 2 1/2 pages
Raw: 4 pages.

I even managed to use my time properly. I kind of went over into Mabeth's time with the Image section because i liked it so much, but i didn't have much to say on Macbeth anyway.

i have all the sample responses from last year because we do these stupid literacy thing and if you want to get over band 3 you have to be aiming for 7-8 pages

It really is pathetic the way u try to out do each other with how many pages u all wrote, its quality not quantity they are testing
