    Hey!
    I'm not the best English student, in fact it is probably my weakest subject for the Leaving Cert.
    I've never been interested in writing stories, reading novels and plus I really don't have a great imagination!

    To prepare for English Paper 1, what should I now be doing apart from reading novels?
    Any tips/advice?
    Thanks :p

    Learn off an essay thats adaptable to many titles. Got me the B when I was more like a C student.

    Do an essay that is more informative, like a speech or debate. They are actually marked easier than the short stories so you will likely do better.
