Title: Talented writers in the 2011 cohort?
Post by: Andiio on January 25, 2011, 04:45:57 pm
Quite bored, so:

Discuss who and why. :)

Hard to say at the moment since we don't really know much about VN class of 2011's writing ability.

Maybe after everyone posts their essay in the essay submission and marking scheme, we can see who has potential and talent

Although I'm guessing that there'll be a long list of people who have a natural flair for writing.

Yeah, we'll have to wait and see; I haven't read many pieces from students in this year's cohort. However, I can safely say that azngirl456 is one to watch, after reading some of her work.

No idea, but Aurelian and Pixon are both easily in the top part of their cohort, which statistically puts them in very good stead.

Andiio's also quite talented, although he needs to control his writing a bit.  (YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN IF YOU READ THIS MR. OP :P)

I'm not too sure yet, but after reading some of Andiio's work .. I'm certain he'll be up there with the high achievers of the 2011 cohort.

How about Thushan? Judging by the scores in his sig, he seems like an absolutely excellent all-rounder :)

He's not doing English - he's doing EL instead.

Thushan is self-admittedly not as good at English as his other subjects, IIRC.

Haha lol, you should try watching me construct a sentence. It can take me a while to get anything done because I'm trying to make everything perfect. But luckily I'm starting to lessen the extent of the habit for VCe English.

Oh and language analysis is my weakness. I got a B+ for my year 11 English exam so don't be expecting anything astonishing this week and the next...

I can safely say werdna after getting a 34 with one essay :o

Now I'll be interested in seeing some of werdna's essays this year. I've read some he wrote last and I all I can say is that they are all of high calibre. Definitely a threat to look out for...

YOU DID NOT USE THE LINK CORRECTLY.

IT'S USED WHEN SOMEBODY ASKS A STUPID QUESTION LIKE "WHERE CAN I GET A RANKING OF THE BEST GRAPHICS CARDS" THAT CAN EASILY BE FOUND ON GOOGLE OR SOME SHIZZLE LIKE THAT.

THIS IS A LEGIT QUESTION.

How big was the first essay if you had like 2.5 hours to do it? How could you write for so long on one thing?

Still, 34 off one and a bit essays is an excellent result!

The language analysis was around 1800 words long (6 pages in my handwriting) - I think I spent close to an hour and twenty minutes on it. Then I began to have a huge mind blank and wrote an intro and topic sentence for context, which took agesss.. 30 mins for just a paragraph.. so I had an hour to go, moved on from context and tried to brainstorm for text response, but I honestly couldn't think properly, so I spent the whole last hour gazing around the room, taking a nap, dreading my study score.. But the ironic thing is I still had a chance to boost the score and didn't take it ;D  This is what pressure does to you. Oh and I'll be focusing on writing smaller essays this year. :P
