What's the assessors stance of forms in regards to Context?

For instance, writing a Psychological Report or something?

I'm intrigued because I haven't seen any pieces in the assessors report that seem to delve into specific forms of pieces - Like a psych report, just essay type things
sometimes I feel as if I'd be more enriched in life if I bought an RV and started cooking meth

A creative psych report would be fascinating to read in my opinion.

Not sure how strongly you could relate it to a prompt though

could you?

Apparently overdone and most people do not make the piece authentic. If you are going to do a psych report it should be outstanding to... stand out.

How about an interview with a psychologist/famous person?? and a speech?? Would a speech by a school principal to students be too unsophisticated??

I'm not sure if sophistication is necessarily something you need to have... in a sense. As you are given liberty to decide the form of your piece, the writing must be typical of that form. I don't see how a speech is inherently unsophisticated. Depends how you pull it off.

If it was about sophistication, my World of Warcraft piece would get completely destroyed by assessors LOL.

i suggest that you go in there doing what you have been doing so far. the tried and tested methods that you have been doing are much more likely to be successful than these on the spot ideas, that if to be effective, would need hours to perfect.

the thought of writing it as an interview got me thinking. cant we write it as an interview, and base our questions in it on the prompt itself, and what the individual believes on it?

This is what I've been doing, and to be honest it's SO much easier and more interesting to write! :D

I just posted up my interview context piece... feel free to read/mark it! :D
The interview form is what I've always been doing for context as well...

okay since this is on forms and such,

 i'm planning on doing an imaginative essay, relating to rugmaker to be specific,

i come from an afghan speaking background and was wondering if using afghan words or phrases and translating them would get me any points with assesors

 although i realise it says must be in english.

help anyone?
Pleasure and pain. They’re not opposites. They’re neighbors … separated by a thin line, by a split second.
One minute you’re feeling like everything is going your way … like you’re ready to climb the highest mountain … headed for the top of the world.
But in the game of life you never know.
You train for years to get a piece of personal glory or a chance to stand toe to toe with your peers and say, “Here I am. Take your best shot.” Then the contest begins and BANG! — you’re down for the count.
It’s not your day. You tried your best. But was it really your best?
So do you go home with a broken

Do you guys have the interviewee as a person from a selected text or just someone from society in general?
