there there rockerette, you can't change the past

my essay wasn't great but it was clever, i forced links between paragraphs such as:

"jealousy lept into them like leaping maggots when you fry them in cooking oil...
Speaking of liquid....alcohol is another problem....."

and so on. was so stupid, but the examiner will have a laugh, i hope.

tinka

question a on text 2
question b on text 1
essay 3 ( it was mad... ridiculous)

seem to be popular choices. a friend of mine did them as well.

A: Ghost writer, went alright
B: Advertising report - didn't know the feckin' layout for it, I just did this:

TO:RANOMER ADVERTISING STANDARDS AGENCY
RE: ADVERTISING & YOUTHS

And launched into it. Can someone tell me the correct layout?

Essay: Did q5. with the world leaders. Had an essay learned off on why nuclear power is basically the answer to all our problems so just lashed that in.

PrettyInPunk

i did that too and did NO layout>????shhhittt

smemon

i did it and just put the title and To on it.

wasnt sure if they wanted the layout or not, i do business so im used to reports but there's no way you could do an english question in official report format.

i reckon they'll be lenient with the report question.

NADA

The better be! Did anybody do the essay on the importance of romance in our lives. Nobody I asked did and nobody here mentioned it or on the news. This could really work to my advantage if I am the only one!

PrettyInPunk

one of my friends did it.

Did the first comprehension.
Did the report.
Did the mad. Ridiculous essay. Basically ripped off The Matrix, man vs. machines and all that. Then i got the best friends to kill each other at the end. You can't beat a bit of good ol' slaughter to liven up an essay;)

A: ghost writer thing. found it very interesting
B: diary with the lad and the tree. i appear mentally unstable
Essay: mad ridiculous - a very detailed acid trip written from the point of view of being on the trip so some mad descriptions and humour. it has a moral to it aswell i - get arrested. well pleased with it.

i was going to do the one about the pace of life or whatver it was but because i had done the same one for the pre but i decided to write about something more fun. ah well thats my favourite paper over with.

50 for the question. i'd say maybe 15 max for layout.

Duddy

well that's just a guess, could even be 10 but i doubt it'd be more than 15. and tbh i think they'll be easy on us as it wasn't to clear what we had to do.

reports don't have much to do with english, more business.

Duddy

I was CRAPPING myself today when i was told....i dont think i ever did a report in all my 5 years at school!!!! but got 2 and a half pages for it so hopefully I'll impress them with quality and quantity....






Or piss them off with the bad writing!!!
