English was grand!

Simples!

Theme of storytelling, comprehension about cliffhangers and mentioned some my favourite programmes?! Loved it!

stephenjmcd

Really good exam , nice essay titles aswell , really happy

andrew369

Question A was fine got a page out of each part. My part B was a bit waffly but ok. Unfortunately my story ends very abruptly on the 4th page due to time running out (that 20 minute extra jargon on the list of subjects is very misleading) but hopefully won't be penalized too much, especially with a whole text on the paper dedicated to cliffhangers. :P

RML

Well story telling was a newbie :P

mixery

I didn't like those essay titles. Generally I thought I did well, but seeing that everyone is so happy, they'll probably adjust the marking scheme and I'll end up doing really badly .

woopah92

Straight forward exam. Essay titles extremely vague, the way I like it A talk about the role of TV and radio. Easy enough. Comprehensions seemed simpler than normal.
I had it hyped up to be something bigger than it was. Twas grand.

Clandestine

I spent too long on text a and B questions, only managed a little over 3 pages on the essay. At least it was a pretty solid essay, imo. I'm a little worried about my handwriting too, I think I made it too small and I had to cross out so many words.

I'm sure i did alright in the end though

11Charlie11

I had a page done in the essay when I realised I didn't like the title so I was completely waffling .. I did the personal essay on the everyday treadmill I only wrote 3 pages

Dropping No Eaves

My part B was quite unfocused and I kind of drifted about, reiterating the same points. Is the introduction to a book quite an informal affair? I modelled it after the casual notes authors put at the beginning of their books, I hope that was what they were after!

Monsieur Folie

My comprehension answers were actually quite good and they are usually where I fall down in the exam so over all I'm very happy. My personal essay and talk on TV/Radio both had elements of informal language (as is expected in those) but I just hope I managed to get the balance right and had enough flair to get me through. We'll see. Roll on paper 2!

I wouldn't say the marks for paper 1 will be so heavily looked at that anyone will do badly on it, unless they wrote feck all and of very bad quality. Paper 2 will be the one they start changing any marking scheme for. If you think you did well then the marks will probably reflect that, don't sweat too much over it now that it is finished.

The Pheasant

Okay you guys are making me nervous now - I didn't like it!
