Irish Paper 1

teckoda

As most of you are probably still in the exam at this present time, I figured I'd start the post since I made it out early. I myself done the pass paper which wasn't too difficult but i was left out on a 60 mark question.

What did you all think of it?

Hey hey i made it out early too and did the pass! It was alright wasnt it?? the comprehension was a joke what an easy 100 marks. I got a page on each one of my letter and Part A. All in all it was good

SimpleLogic

yeah was grand. I did the story about I think it was the Dentist? could someone translate the 1st sceal please?

The comprehensions were ok ,
1st one was hard enough
2nd one was easy, common sense

Aural my god - one word - SIMPLE!!

Paper 1 and the aural went surprisingly well. Might just have passed them both. Essay titles were great. Was worried I wouldn't understand any of them. Roll on paper 2.

Since I thought i was going to cry before I the paper began I'm really pleased with how it went today. I did the diospoireacht & it was easy to twist it to suit you.:)
Aural was a bit dodgy some of the accents were very difficult to understand!!

Now it all goes downhill tommrow!:D

Wasn't a big fan of the aural at all either. Passed it alright i'd say.

Da Bomber

Did the pass it was a joke how easy it was!however paper 2 wont be much fun, so much to learn, so little time!

thomasjad

Holly Golightly

Aural was awful, disastrous accents

coolcailin

the essay titles were ufasach

teckoda

The aural was a disaster for me XD

^ Definitely.

That 'new' guy they've got in to do the Donegal Canúint accent was horrendous, it was like his voice kept breaking every three seconds...

King Ludvig

I did ordinary level.

Wasnt too bad. I did the letter (part time job in england) got 1 A4
Did the sceal aswell. (everyone was reading quitely) What did the rest of the question mean? I said the books caught fire! lol My sceal always includes a fire.

Comprehensions were easy

We get wayy to much time. 2 hours would be more than enough!

As for the aural I got three answers im sure of; Microsoft; Dell and Dairygold!!:D

Ino112

Another generous paper. Let's hope Paper 2 follows suit, and of course, business

Yes it really sounded like it was breaking! I thought it was fine overall as they spoke really slowly.
Except they kepy saying "scor" instead of "fiche" for twenty, which was a bit of a nasty trick.

Ok there was definitely something up with him but he did speak terribly slow with the exception of the Monsignor thing..

Overall P1 was probably the easiest they've ever given.. At least the comprehensions were.. They were so basic..

Coras Slainte. Delighted.

1st reading was tricky, 2nd was ok.

Aural was horrible, I got in the 80's/100 in 2007 and 2006 papers but this was deadly. Got less than 60/10 I'd say if even.

Cuid C was a load of ****, especially piosa a tri.

Caoimhe89

Very nice paper! Specially 'An Coras Slainte'. Aural was fine...

PrivateEye

Bad aural. I'm in an Irish school, few people with difficulties on parts of it...Cuid C Part III was mock. Still, I imagine I did quite well regardless. Scored perfect on the mock aural, I'd say down a bit today...

Fuascailt

Maths made me cry this morning, but Irish made me happy again:)

Coras Slainte- THANK YOU GOD!!! Got four pages of great irish (hopefully)
Comps- Fine, there was like one tricky question on the Blasket Island one
Aural- Simple. I love tape. The Donegal guy made me laugh, especially the start of piosa a tri, my supervisor kept giveing me weird looks for smiling to myself:P
Only one thing- Piosa a haon, the Ballyvourney one, were the questions in the wrong order?

i think it was a lovely paper, comprehensions were fine, aural was grand (even though there were a few weird accents...)

FJH

Ya compared to 2007 and 2006 aural's it was very hard. Suppose they were always going to make it harder after a couple of nice ones.
