Colinoneill

Studied Irish today in library, wrote an essay on healthcare system and revised caca milis and grathrud.

Didn't do much tonight because I'm stupid.
Going to bed in a few minutes and plan to get up at half 9 to do an early session of mahon and then Shakespeare.

Goodnight

Prodigious

Is technology easy? Would I get an A in it if I taught myself from now on?

Colinoneill

I don't think so, there's a project and folio worth 25+25% and with no textbook or revise type things available you'd need a teacher in your family or something. (my dad is my engineering teacher


Anyway today I didn't get mahon started till pretty late but I did a four Page essay for practice since I have my paper 2 mock on wends. Going to revise Shakespeare after dinner and then learn off a few phrases for my Irish 1 mock on Tuesday.
Might do a few maths Qs from the papers if I'm up to it

Colinoneill

Did a few maths Qs earlier and wrote up some characters for English 1 now I'm heading to french then English grinds.

Well it's not the most fun thing we'll ever do anyway


Grinds were good. Did some pronoun grammar and expression ecrité in French and comparative and paper 1 stuff in English.

feel a little unprepared for Irish 1 tomo. Ah sure it'll be grand and English 1 will be fun
Wooo mocks... Gnight

Colinoneill

Irish 1 was decent. Wrote an aiste about emigration and the recession. Got abit stuck at times and found myself waffling, defiantly need some more good points.

English 1 was pretty nice, the paper was about special occasions and I wrote a pretty good personal essay.

You're right there. Learn off an epic short story and you're sorted.

short story? for the essay or sceal on paper 1 like? iv been told by my grinds teacher to go with the sceal, but all the teachers are handing us out proper essays on issues, government etc. Which are you going for? and how long do you reckon it should be?

Prodigious

Short story, 2& a half pages. Write a very good story in english that can apply to lots of themes. Translate it with dictionary in hand then bring it to the grinds teacher to check over.

Not really, you loose marks on a sliding scale for how adapted your compostion is, learn recession, emigration and health care hse stuff

Prodigious

Which is why you do a short story. The titles are hope, disappointment, worry, happiness. Not difficult to have a story that covers them all. Only has to be loosely linked.
