Your school work from year 7 (or so)

Oh my gosh, I just found this.  Absolute gold.



Australia injects too much money into sport- opinion piece

  In conclusion I have no opinion on this matter.

So what was that? Like, 9/10?

No way it was a 10

jks I didn't submit it

Year 7 SOSE:
"History can be a tiresome subject, sometimes overbearing. But what if the things you learn in History class would help you until you're old and grey? Many life skills are obtained during history - research skills (always a good thing), how to layout and present presentations, how to have a fair opinion and most of all - how to have an open mind. Who knows? You could be the next Julius Cesear or Cleopatra."

I'm studying Antony and Cleopatra in literature now, and I can't believe that at thirteen I was encouraging my classmates to be the next Cleopatra. It's almost like I went "Who is a female history character?" and just blindly chose Cleopatra.

Admittedly slightly before year 7, but I honestly believe this is the best story I've written to date!

Did I mention the glass was everywhere?

I loved it. Suspense, drama, action. Everything a good story needs.
Bit of criticism, the title says "crystal unicorn" but throughout the story it's referred to as glass. Do you, as the author believe they are interchangeable or two separate entities?

It looks like the teacher wrote it in. Obviously the story was a bit too complex for him/her to decipher that the unicorn was made of glass.

Pure sabotage... She was definitively cramping my style! (Or should I say my use of stylistic devices?)

In year 8 I "discovered" that prime numbers all followed the form . My math teacher then asked me to go write down a general proof for the pattern of prime numbers.

The naive me actually tried, and thus came my understanding of the concept of "evil".

[BasicAcid]

Why doesn't 8 work?

6n + 1 is the equation.
n=8 in this case

6 times 8 = 48
48 + 1 = 49

7 times 7 = 49
i.e. 7 is also a factor

But I'm still amazed it works for the majority of the other numbers I tried.

Mod edit: I can't be bothered restoring my old post - I realised my goof as soon as I clicked post and deleted it immediately (to explain the missing post)

This is an "all cats are tigers" kind of misunderstanding.

All primes (except 2 and 3) must follow , but not all numbers of the form are primes. That is, you are not able to predict prime numbers using , but all prime numbers must have the property that they can be expressed as with an integer .

If you must, , but not .

This is the result of applying the first two prime number sieves (2 and 3), see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_of_Eratosthenes.

Cases where both and are primes are called twin primes, whereas cases that only one of and is a prime are called isolated primes.

You actually missed , where is not a prime, and is the smallest isolated prime after 2.

I actually just spent about 5 minutes substituting random numbers into that equation and it appeared as though they all worked... I was actually nearly mindblown.

Then 8 didn't work

What about 4 lol?

Dayum, that was a good read (your entire post and part of that link), cheers mate.

And note how I said I was substituting random numbers into the equation, not any sequences or any logical order. Hence I didn't really "miss" 4, I just didn't happen to choose it as one of my random values to substitute in

What about 4 lol?

As above.

5. For each technique you have quoted in Question 4, explain how the example influences the reader to agree with the writer's contention/point of view.
"Williams' evidence - this wasn't effective at all! At the start of this article I thought he was FOR banning junk-food. As soon as peopole read 'obesity has tripled' they thing "shiiiittt, something needs to be done, action needs to be taken', but Will is suggesting NOT to take the quickest and easiest action. It works against his contention"

I guess that's the kind of answer you get with 52% attendance o.O. I was in the top band of writing for the AIMS test/Naplan in that year, as well. I must have shocked my assessors into giving me marks. (Looking at my old report, this thang's hilarrrrrious)
