For the Irish debate do you have to be for or against the motion? Or can you discuss both aspects?

For or against, Aiste you can stay on the fence for, diospoireacht you have to clearly go one way.

If they repeat An tEarrach Thiar/Hurlamaboc for Irish...oh lol.

I'm banking on Treithe an bhealoidis in oisin.
an spailpin fanach and regards the aiste, I'm preparing immigration, recession and problems with young people... I heard that problems in the health system is tipped for a diospoireacht?

The Gathering is not on the Irish course. Why are people trying to learn it as a full essay. Maybe a paragraph about it for an Ireland if today essay.

The notion of learning off an essay saddens me deeply. I am going to go in there and waffle from scratch on principle!

What's the best things to be studying for art history?? People say they're pretty predictable!

English was an okay paper. Macbeth question was a bit crap, but all in all it was fine...like everything, it was good once you studied. Got an A1 in the mocks and had a better choice in the real thing with regards to poets and comparative so I'm hoping to get an A2.

With regards to geography, it was a fair paper. The short questions were harder than most years, the long questions were okay. It was more than manageable once you put the work in, and like I said, it was a fair paper, however, I don't know where people are going with the consensus that it was an "easy" or "dream" paper... The papers of 05, 06 etc were easy, this paper was cleverly worded to throw people and make it hard to know what they will be looking for in the marking scheme...

With regards to An tEarrach Thiar, the question would be on the paper so you could just pick out techniques and say you liked them or whatever.

Maybe look over Martin O' Direain's life & work just to be on the safe side.

For the filiocht is everyone just learning the poet's life?

Depends what you did in class but I'll be doing Georgian and then Stone - Iron Age for Irish history, Impressionism and Gothic/Romanesque for European and gallery visit for art appreciation.

How do i even begin studying for the Irish essay? I don't wanna go learning off a whole load of essays I feel that'd be pointless, how do you all do it?

I've learnt a general opening & closing paragraph that can be used in nearly all essays. Then I've learnt phrases for Emigration and phrases that can be used in talking about the problems in Ireland today Oh and don't forget to look over the format and phrases for the debate, just incase!

I prepared Emigration and like you an essay that includes crime, drugs, alcohol, recession that I could alter to fit a few but I just saw on another thread that this year is Bliain na Gaeilge so maybe it's worth preparing something on that!

Yeah, for tank A I got

C=x+5

And for Tank B I got

C=x+7.5

Where C was the current volume, X was the volume ten seconds previously, and 5&7.5 were the volumes added

Yeahh , il learn them really well , but not banking on it
Im not doing hurlamaboc because it came up last year and i dont think they would actually be that crule as to put it on again.
But im going to go over the rest of them any way.

Makes so much sense now! I had x = y + 5, labelled them wrong though! I went back when I was finished my paper and looked at it for ages, the more I looked at it the worse it was getting :P
