Hi All,
I am considering English language as a subject for next year, as opposed to English.
I have had people recommend me English Language, and also others recommend me to do English.
Personally, I feel that I would enjoy English Language better than English, but I have been warned that English Language is harder than English.
So I am most concerned right now about any adverse effects of doing EL instead of EN, namely that:
- English language is hard, and is hard to get a good study score in
- If I take English Language, I will have to do that subject at a 3/4 level via Distance, so I won't have a "real" teacher to work with...
- I have had one person say that doing Eng Lang has less competition (true) and hence is easier to get a good ranking in
On the other hand, some people have told me that English has more competition (ofc!) and hence the scoring divisions are larger (i.e. more people will get 40+) and is thus easier to get a good ranking in.
Are either of these statements correct, or are both uncertain at this point?
Either way, I know for sure that, doing English next year, I will be bored to death with character/poetry analysis (yuck!).
However, I hasten to say that I do not shy from doing English on account of not being good at it.
I would greatly appreciate some input on the worries I have put forth in this post, and information in general for EL 3/4
