    We get results on the 11th ;). I screwed up on the restaurant review .. I wrote about overpricing in the children meals XD. :)

    That seems fine, children's meals are always overpriced. I wrote about my soup being cold, a rude waitress, a rude manager, cooks handling raw meat without wearing gloves, no hairnets being used and rat poison found in the kitchen. My person's restaurant got reported to the health board ;)

    What ??
    I think I did it wrong
    I wrote about how I entered the restaurant and got shouted at for no reason by one of their emplyees and how they wasted my time and I asked for a table and he did not give me one for no reason.
    Ohhh.....

    No, that should be fine. You're supposed to have complaints that they respond to badly, but if you wrote that you should still be fairly okay.

    It was functional writing, you probably did the other option.

    I think Paper 1 was a very fair paper. I think I did quite good on that. It was a rush to get it finished though!

    Paper 2 I didn't get finished. When I first read through the questions I thought they looked grand but when I started doing them I found them quite difficult. I think the drama and novel unseen was really hard to write about...especially the novel. The poetry was fine though.

    Ignore people boasting about how many booklets they wrote.
    Although you need a certain quantity, it really is quality over quantity in most cases.

    Pretty much the same here. Except I never answered Unseen Drama & Unseen Fiction so that's -60 marks for me. Still, I went for the easiest questions that gave the most marks. It's my tactic since I'm very slow at writing and an average speed reader. I think way too much.~

    And I swear! The amount of farting fella's! :p

    Understandable isn't a word I usually associate with Shakespearian drama :P I said she's direct, sure of herself and strong.

    Much Ado About Nothing came up a few years ago, with Beatrice and Benedick! Luckily I went over it last night! I said she was a independent woman (who don't need no man haha), strong willed and well spoken.

    In the functional writing you could write a restaurant review

    I didn't even follow a format ... I just wrote why I went there, what was wrong, why I am writing, what could improve, and then conclussion XD.

    I hate questions about being in/organising/anything with a play, so I avoided it.

    I find it's really hard to get that from Shakespearean drama. I don't even think Shakespeare was all that great, but pretty much every English teacher would disagree with me, so I suppose they're right.
