ITT: We Try to Predict the GAT Essays

Okay, I was thinking it could be fun to take stabs in the dark at guessing the topics for the two GAT essays. If you happen to guess correctly you will receive eternal respect (and underlying suspicion) from me and the VN community.

Here are mine:

1st Writing Task will be about an African country, you will be given information about the native fauna (elephants perhaps?), the climate, Economic data (GDP, Exports etc), Culture, Geography etc.

2nd Writing Task will be asking you to argue about the use of new technology in our lives. Like those new machines at safeway/coles that do the store clerk's job, or our reliance on social media.

Task 1: I'm thinking something boring about Australian Nationalism and History.

Task 2: Changing values of new generations


Personally, I hop its neither of those, they are pretty boring

Because it's so important to predict the essays on the GAT, I'll give you guys a little hint..

One of the essays has something to do with a historical reivew of the Sunni-Shiite Conflict and it's contrasting philosophies with the Marshall Plan.

:\


..but seriously guys relax, chill out- just do as well as you can, but the gat really doesn't matter too much!
