I'm hoping something about the life of young people blady blah, or at least a word or sean fhocail i could adjust 1 of my short stories around

abercrombie

if something to do with young people come up i'd be sorted!!

smemon

i just want to understand the title tbh, take it from there. :rolleyes:

dont understand the question and your fluched simple as that.

Better be either an timpeallacht or something to do with social problems or drugs and alcohol. Loads pf people are predicting Irish today/in the media, but surely that would sort of clash with the stair Gaeilge sa Mean Cumarsaide?

NADA

I don't care. I can write about anything really. Juts keep the sentences short and simple and you can't go wrong. Make sure you look at the Alt and diospoireacht. They are just the same as the essay. you only need a line of a debate intro and the diospoirect is just 2 more aiste!

my thoughts exactly



can anyone answer me this,
how do you say, "living"
not "i am living in the town --> tá mé i mo chónaí sa bhaile mór"

but more "i am living a terrible life --> táim ag ??? saol uafásach..




and,

is léir - its clear
?? - its not clear
ní léir? níl sé léir?


probably a simple question.. i just couldnt work it out :rolleyes:

My teacher was predicting essays on something to do with ireland - i.e drug problems/high prices here etc. She also said to make sure to prepare stuff on status of irish today.

Raphael

I'm doing the scéal, i just hope there's a title I can understand.

I am supremely ****ed for this essay thing. I have nothing even remotely studied, and I've written maybe three proper essays ever, none of which have ever been good. And I can't bring myself to go upstairs...

well you could say, "tá saol uafásach agam" - i have a terrible life. sometimes you can just change it around a bit but retain the general meaning. also, "níl sé soiléir" - it's unclear (not clear)

I should be fine if something comes up to do with the problems of Ireland(drus, health service, violence etc), the enviroment or else the problems of the world (terrorism and racism etc).

If none of those three come up then the truckloads of work I have put into honours Irish will go down the drain.

Azureus

living... ag maraichtail (sp?)

yep i need something on social problems or racism maybe the irish language to come up but i havent really learned anything off. just hoping to go in, undertand the question and maybe scrape a b by bluffing through.

My thoughts exactly:D Hoping my 13 years doing irish (OMG 13 OUT OF 17!!!!) and the fact that my parents are irish teachers will help.....




The ability to be ag caint as gaelige is genetic, innit????:o

Those essays were brilliant, all were really broad and easy to answer. Hopefully I got an A in that paper..

cianclarke

They really didn't suit me.
Did the one where you had to write an article ABOUT an interview you had with a famous TV personality re their views on irish.
What the f*ck was that about? One of the few I understood, but an article about an interview?
I started writing an interview, 1/4 way through switched to quoting bits of an interview and writing commentary in very poor Irish, and only did three pages. Not a happy bunny...

Rockerette

yeah thats what its always like, write an article based on the interview


i did the same one

deisedolly

I did a scéal! Saw 'díoma' and was absolutly thrilled! Really lucky for that to have come up for me because out of the about 5 scéals I had prepared that was 1 of them! Delighted!

abercrombie

i did the old and new in ireland!! omg i just LOVED that paper!!

Rob30888

Those essay choices were ****E! I ended up doing the one about the Irish language as it was the only one I'd prepared for it, despite it being an Alt. Made a bit of a mess as I didn't fully understand, hope it's ok

Raphael

I did dioma as well, but I wasn't sure it meant dissappointment. So I did a spare essay, the old and new one
