Leaving Cert '11/'12 Off-Topic 2

Canard

I'd say "Nous avions ete (with accents) en train de bavarder pendant presque toute la fete", but its a bit of an odd construction and I'm not 100% sure

Question for you French geniuses, and I know ye're out there!

How would you say in French: "We had been chatting for almost all the party"

I can't really get my head around it And google translate is saying mad things altogehter :P

I think it'd be:

Nous bavardions pendant presque toute la soiree. (We were chatting for almost the whole party.)

or:

Nous avions bavarde pendant presque toute la soiree. (We had chatted for almost the whole party.) I think. :cool: That's as close as I can get so I'd say just pick whichever one you think suits!

And there should be an accent on the first 'e' in soiree and in the 'e' in bavarde.

Edit: Actually I prefer Ally7's translation now, it sounds best!

I'll take a stab at this, despite me not being a French genius :P
'on avait passé presque toute la fête à bavarder' - it kinda translates as it anyway :L

Some one in my class worked out that the probability of us getting either
Heaney, Kavanagh or Plath in our English exam was 98%. Don't know how but he's a sound lad so - what's life without risk

Wesc.

Thanks guys

My biggest worry is knowing something then going blank in the exam this happens to me sometimes. I don't think it'll happen , it's just so annoying when it happens then you end up writing a waffley answer. I need specific grades for my course they go by grades not points. If the geography goes well then I know I'll be okay for the others. I should do okay. I've been getting C's with not a lot of study but with study hopefully should bring it to a B1 or even a A . I'm slightly okay for English I just hope paper 1 is okay. I'm not going to be worried I guess I am more prepared than last years leaving .

The probability of one of any three poets coming up is 93% I think. If you study four you've got a 98.6% chance of one coming up.

If you take into account how likely those three poets are to come up though, I'd say it's more like 98 or 99%. :P

I need 540 and a pass in Maths A man can dream can't he? :P

Nerves are kicking in. Especially Maths. Well Project Maths. And if Paper 1 is like last year I'm fecked.

Just don't think about the what if's just focus on getting what you want to achieve. When you start to think about the what if's and have worries it'll just be in the back of your mind. Just keep believing that you can do well and you've studied hard and focus .

Cheek of them fifth years! :O

Guys, whats the likelihood of Theme or Issue coming up for the Comparative seeing as it came up last year? There seems to be a reoccuring trend that it is swapped each year! However, in 2008/2009 Theme or Issue appeared both years. Could we be caught out by this trap?
Almost all of my friends are just learning General Vision & Viewpoint and not touching Theme or Issue?

Ok so I purposely slept all day so I could do this.

At 11:30 I shall start studying, and in the next 12 hours and 30 minutes, I plan on having the full English course covered.

In Hamlet, I'll do Deception, Hamlet's character, the women and comedy
I'll do Heaney, Kinsella and Rich.
I will also do GV&V and the theme of Friendship.


LET'S DO THIS!!!

Well first it was 'pure evil', then it was just 'a tad evil', so it was a fairly big jump up to sound! :pac: And it wasn't just 'sound', it was 'sound like'... Jeez!! :P

Light a candle for us all and you'll reach awesome status.

If you disguise yourself as me and sit my leaving cert and get 625 points, then and only then will you get awesome status.

Is now a bad time to tell you that in a few years time when you're in college you'll be wishing the exams were LC standard again? :pac: Lemme at it! :P

Jk, you'll totally never face an exam like the LC again...ahem...>_>
