you know, in the english jc p1, personal writing section, sometimes you have to write a composition f.e beginning with some lines, but what exactly is a composition, can you basically write a story?

Yes, you can write whatever you want, as long as it contains the lines.

I think when it says 'composition' you have to write a short story.

xD I'm bringing in my lucky Beatles cup (to drink my water out of) and probably going to wear a "Mary" necklace and am going to pray to St. Gemma Galgani tonight . Got a "Good Luck" card from my friend and Granddad and Mam are lighting candles for me and saying prayers.

thanks guys

I saw my friends on facebook adding photos of their "good luck cards". I asked my mom why I didn't get one and she replied that she was considering getting me one but she knows I'll do great and I don't need good luck it was so sweet of her

Stooped

The only good luck I got was a Facebook message from my cousin

I'll be thinking of you when I'm writing that little bit extra from time not spent throwing pear drops into my mouth.

I think mechanics is whether it matches the title or not! If so I wouldnt mind 65 marks outta 70! haha

No that's too obvious, one reference at a time but it's going to take a long, long, long time (oh Christ I've already started) Any other hard core Beatles fans here apart from me? :P

Never really listened to them, to be honest, so I don't like or dislike them. The Temptations are awesome, however.
