    All stories, and poems come up in one shape or form.

    poetry

    part A
    answer a or b

    a - poem 1
    b - poem 2

    part B

    pick one out of the other three poems and which one (six given) describes it best.

    same goes for the stories...

    i'd say the most predictable thing on the irish paper is the question

    "is mhaith leat an dán/aiste seo?"

    ok for stories what has come up so far..

    2004: an lasiar choille/ fiosracht mná
    2003: amuigh liom fein/ gafa
    2002: clann lir/an lasair choille
    2001: anuigh liom fein/ gafa

    i dont have any more but does ANYONE have any of the years after that.. as for poetry i havnt looked them up yet..i should be finished revising the sotries by tomorrow, im leaving out clann lir cos i cant hack it!

    as for poetry i have to get that done this weekend..
    i have problems with the letter and story so i need to work on that.. im gonna learn off some descriptive sentences etc my teacher told us that there are a certain amount of marks going for describing the weather etc..

    im really not sure whats going to come up.. thats why im learning four in detail, i mean learn about the characters, themes and key aspects so you can talk about the story from one point onwards etc. :o

    dont mind him,

    Faoilean will certainly not be present - poet was involved in paedophelia scandal

    I am not too sure, dont worry about it
    study a bit about hte poets,
    just take in what they are/do in english u will be able to translate it in there

    Faoilean, I've heard loads of things about owl Micheal, I'm going to take the chance that he might come up, coz i could get him studies in 1/2 and hour, So it's worth the risk,

    Don't believe everything you hear, I seen that it was in the Irish times but it could just be some alligations and maby he was not convicted of it.
