Hey Emily,
Just want to say a huge thanks for your English lecture in the holidays-it definitely helped me heaps! :D
With your module C did you do Art of Travel, if so, I’m finding it really hard to get into the text. As we’ve never analysed a philosophical text before I’m finding it a bit difficult and really boring. Do you have any tips on how to analyse module C texts and any ways that I could find the text more interesting? How did you memorise quotes for each module? How did you memorise enough good quotes especially for module B (I’m doing Hamlet)?
Did you have a structure for each essay (especially the modules)?
I always get really stuck trying to come up with good creative writing ideas, especially ones that aren't cliche or overused. Do you have any tips on how to come up with good ideas that can fit with multiple stimulus? And, just general ideas to improve my creatives?
Also, do you have any general tips on how to improve in English and further appreciate the texts? English is my worst subject and also the one I dislike the most so I find it harder to study then some of my other subjects.
Also, what did you need to do for the Queens Scout? I’m currently doing Queens Award for Girls Brigade (which is also a national award). I need to do voluntary service (Girls Brigade, church and community-which I’m doing next year), two initiative tasks, a speech, a major work (music based-not as huge as the HSC but still big), and a few other things. It’s heaps of fun but a lot of work.
Thank you so much-your help is really appreciated! :) Sorry that I have a huge amount of questions. :)

Hi Emily! As a student failing spectacularly at English, I see you in a holy light :). Can you give some tips on the separate modules of English? I know you have to improvise your essay on the spot so that's what I've been doing but I've been getting low marks for it. Is it better to pre - prepare my response in my case? And can you also give me some tips on how to structure the thesis of each module? Thanks :)

Did you memorise an essay for discovery? Or just remember key values and quotes?

Hi Emily,

I was just wondering what your tips are for 'show not tell' in creative writing as that has always been something that I have struggled with in my creative writing. I was also wondering what tips you have for time management of each section. Also what are your tips for approaching unseen hamlet questions as my reading is:
Hamlet in his negotiation with various degrees of success for individual truth particular feels overwhelmed by the responsibility to avenge his father’s death, questioning the legitimacy of revenge and suicide. His indecision and inaction tragically leads to his death and others.
Thank you.  :)
