Hey Guys.

Apparently a rocket exploded this morning while we were doing the exam.

It seems even the universe doesn't approve of this exam.

Teehee.

Don't stress it, I didn't conclude my LA and they still gave me 19/20!

^same. I don't think you need a proper conclusion, your analysis should naturally come to an end when you analyse the end of the piece.

He obviously didn't read the article as he was pretty much saying that we shouldn't abandon Earth and go out exploring for something new when in the article it talks about how we will use space exploration to discover things that we can use to better our lives on Earth as well as the planet itself, she even had a picture of a solar cell in the article and how that came about from space exploration and that gives us an alternative energy source to fossil fuels that helps us with sustainable use of the Earth's resources....I personally though that the letter to the editor was utter bullshit and unnecessary, it should have just been the opinion piece...


This.


The piece was okay, but I felt as though there weren't that many techniques to analyse. But the straw that broke the camels back was the letter to the editor. I looked at that letter for a whole three minutes thinking..

I forgot to reference the 1st visual but analysed the 2nd to a great extent. Will my exclusion of the first matter?

How did you guys go about analysing the more economical stance about space exploration (3rd-5th paragraph from memory)?

I didn't really analyse is that much. I just said that space exploration has great benefit inc. a number of resources.

The article was much harder to analyse compared to the grow slow garden from 2013.

That was the most boring article I've ever read in my life. I was prepared for a comparative or a more difficult piece because last year's was so easy but I still spent like 75 minutes on it and didn't finish conclusion  :(
I feel like the time I spent on it didn't allow me to truly capitalise on the first two sections given how easy they were, anyone feel me?

Section C was just rubbish, the second image had be confused for 80% of the time, and I still am confused. It looks like one image accidentally overlapped it, or whoever wrote the exam just used Microsoft paint last minute and dragged a picture of an astronaut on.

Now that I think of it, I should have omitted that section of the opinion article completely because my analysis was on par with the piece in terms of excitement

I thought the contention of the first article was a tad ambiguous, was it just as simple as "we should fund space exploration more but do it for the benefit of humanity"?
