Hmm, I'm thinking of making a be-all-and-end-all of picking between the 3 englishes thread/guide

So long as you say English Language should be picked at all costs :P :P

No.

The real VCE experience incorporates English. Don't be weak and step away from where the real challenge is at :P

LOL.


English language is a good subject, I personally find it amazing! you look into spoken and written language, and in turn you get a good understanding on how language actually works and how people use it. its really made me think about how  i text, email and message too, but at the same time its made me develop a  dislike for people who always reply with mm, k, cool, whatever, nice, sweet. -more often that no express disinterest.... grr
generally they say if your a maths,music or science type kid than english language may suit you.
its like the mechanics of english. you dont dwell on grammar btw, thats a bit of a misunderstanding.

and you dont have to do oral sacs! or character bloody analysis! just analysis on written texts, spoken transcripts and essays on a given topic! its hard though. requires a lot of work.
+2 scaling as well...
as is lit,  but totally diff. subjects.

Aspiring doctor. Why? For the same four reasons as everybody else. Chicks, money, power and chicks.

English is too mainstream. :P

----> Aiming for a 99.95
----> Realise you need a 50 in an English subject
----> Probably won't get 50 in English, the subject of the gods.
----> Oooh I know! I'll get a 50 in English Language (the jealous, pre-pubescent brother of English)
----> GREAT SUCCESS

Then, I'll pose as a hipster, stating that English is "too mainstream" to mask my true intentions..


Smart, Thushan :P
