Spanish Tomorrow

MariaBabii

So what ya's all learning for tomorrow? Any ideas what will come up :rolleyes:

muffinz

theres no way to predict for spanish, so just learn lots of handy phrases and learn weather
the comprehensions are usually always about mobiles/bullying/teenagers etc, so just make sure you can understand stuff related to that!
for diarys, just have things like !vaya dia! learned off, easy marks!

MariaBabii

okay cool thanks

Just know all your grammer: past, present, future and subjunctive (comes up around twice every year in the dialogue part of the paper). And of course the format for the diary entry and note! I think I'm going to learn off starters and enders to each paragraph of the opinion so that they can work in whatever topic comes up...I'll try and show off my grammer too..dunno how that's gonna turn out though! You only have to write a page for the opinion so waffle waffle waffle! In good spanish of course

Try and stick in different tenses (especially the subjunctive) in the opinion piece, they love that. Learn off some general phrases for it too.

I'm gonna try all those fancy phrases for the essay, like sin embargo and aunque and consecuentemente. And the past perfect verbs:D

I'm told that a few verbs in the subjunctive in the written pieces are pretty much necessary for an honours Higher level student, BUT I think as long as what you have is accurate, don't panic about the subjunctive. One thing I will say is don't use verbs you're unsure of. You will be docked marks for mistakes (duh!) so use what you know. Also, don't just use phrases for the sake of it, make sure they fit and use them sparingly. You don't even need to write a full A4 page, it specifies 80-150 words which would (for me anyway) be about three quarters of a page. No point trying to write loads if it's rubbish! Oh and PROOFREAD! Check your tenses and agreements. Remember, 25% is done and dusted! Suerte!

I have nothing prepared, but I have a decent amount of spanish so I'll do my best to improvise.

Tape will be impossible as usual though..

I think we could say that for Saíd chapters 3, 4, 7 and 8 won't come up as they've been asked the last four years. Think so yeah?

I've never done Spanish in school but since it's my first language I'm sitting the exam. Is there anything I should know about it?
I was looking at the structure of the past papers a bit.
There seems to be a prescribed text or something (prescribed literature), but then the questions don't ask anything that you should know from before?

What questions is everyone doing?

Thanks =]

chillian17

Well you have the choice of doing the prescribed literature or a journalistic text. If you haven't read the book La Aventura de Saíd you'd best stick away from doing it and do the journalistic text instead I think. Other than that if Spanish is your first language you should fly this exam.

muffinz

i goddamn hate the subjunctive. so stupid and unnecessary. the only thing i know is "si fuera posible" "si tuviera suerte" and "espero que no estes". i WILL get these 3 subjunctives in somehow.
I was looking over the papers, if they give us a dialogue on being sick or on food, i will die.

MariaBabii

Would it be a good idea to answer the Said question if i have spare time left even though i never answered it before??

lucybrown

I'm thinking of dropping down and doing pass spanish tomorrow. I'm so afraid of failing the honours. Think its a wise idea?
