Gleasnotai sraith pictiurs

    So, im getting stuck into the sraith pictures, have the first 6 learnt off but they are the most demoralising things i have ever done. If i was to learn off the gleasnotaí notes on them, leaving a sentence out here and there, what grade would they be worth. Not including the questions so we will say out of 60 marks how much would the gleasnotai samples get?

    yes i know all examiners are different and will give different marks.
    yes i know all the pictures are of different quality but i am just looking for an average.
    yes I know i should make my own rather than copying others.

    Thank you

    4 lines each picture for top marks. You could say 2 for one, and then 6 for another so that would make up for that, if you felt you were running out of things to say in a picture.
    2 sentences each pic (what my Irish teacher tell me) is a D grade. Pass.
    There's no need to go writing your own stories. It will make things easier for you though to change around the more fussy Irish sentences in to things you know you can say correctly.
    If you manage 3 things a picture, then I guess 18/24 marks.

    however saying 4 basic senteces will obviously not yield the same amount of mark as saying 4 very advanced. Im wondering the quality of the irish in the gleasnotaí samples. Would saying 4 of their sentences be sufficient or is that only perhaps 45/60 marks

    Key words and briathra. For each set make a line down the page and write the keywords on the left and the briathra on the right. Do the same for each Box . I find this seriously useful and less time consuming. Give it a go anyway.

    Unless you've a seriously photographic memory learning those notes would be impossible before next week. The Gléas nótaí ones are pretty hard. You could google and find the Is Féidir Leat version which is easier. Better to be easy and correct than aim high and mess it up.
    As mentioned above, it would be better to learn key words and verbs than trying to learn 20 stories off by heart. If you're really stuck mention weather, how many people in the picture, what they're wearing etc. Then practice saying whats in the speech bubbles.

    i actualy find gleasnotaí to be the most basic of all the recources i have hence why im wondering if they are any good.
