What's on tomorrow's Irish paper?

Claypigeon

Only dropped to OL like a week before we finished up for study-leave so I didn't really get much time to just sit down and look over the paper.

Anybody able to fill me in on what I need to have in mind for tomorrow and what little bits I could have prepared. I have pretty good Irish so I'm fine for anything just for the extra few marks if there's any sure-fire stuff that I could have prepared well it'd be great.

Theres two comprehensions you have to do in paper one.

Then you choose two pieces of writing from 4 topics which each has two choices within them so 2 from 8.

Usually there will be something like write a letter home to your parents from a holiday/a summer job/the gaeltacht.

Comp 1
Comp 2
Giota Leanuach - a or b or c
Sceal - a or b
Litir a or b
Comhra a or b

You have to do both comprehensions. and you pick two pieces of writing from the rest. So you could do one comhra and one letter, any combination really

Yes with the poems and stories on the course.
Roinn A:
The first question is on stories. you answer a and b.

a will be three diff stories and you answer on one.

b will the the other three stories and you have to pick an emotion from a list that is present in all of them and talk about it.

question two is on poetry.
a will be a choice between 2 sets of 4 questions on two poems you have studied. they will be printed on the page.

b will be a choice between two different questions on the same poem. it is usually about the images, main themes and emotions in that poem.

Rionn B:
the second part on the paper is like poems and stories but ones that are not on the course or something? All i know is you ignore it and dont answer the questions. it like two diff courses or something like that.

Holidays commonly come up.
But usually in irish, you are given a sentence such as "I got home and found that the door was ajar. I felt frightened...."
So you could turn that into there had been a car accident and my little brother went to hospital type of thing.

OR commonly something on holidays come up like your on holiday and find a job write a letter home ect.

But it doesnt always come up.

Even if you get a sceal that says I was so excited, i had won two tickets to the concert, you could turn it into they got robbed or there was a accident at the concert, or u were in a car crash on the way to the concert.

Or that you were meant to go but you caught fire and got sick then were robbed, beaten, taken to the hospital where you went on holidays.

Why did you drop down to OL Claypigeon? Are you not counting it for points or anything?

Aye yes I am counting it for points but I'm going for anything above 380 points to be safe for my choices I just didn't like honours Irish... Too much like hard work and considering I'm actually quite good at the language itself it was ruining it for me. The main push-factor was the mindless learning of essays.

Our teacher was my "that teacher" ie the one that makes you sick to your stomach because they're so obnoxious and different to you. I'm using OL Irish for points but it's my only OL other than Maths (which isn't being counted for points) and so I'll be fine - got "40 points" from it in the mock so I'll get more than 40 in the real thing even in OL so I'm quite happy with my decision.

Was missing a lot of school because of it basically, once I dropped down to Ordinary and didn't have to dread Irish anymore I felt so much better and it made me more motivated to work on my other subjects too Overall it'll increase my points.
