English Exam Discussion 2009

[ross huggard]

And yeah I've also got that weird nostalgic feeling about English. Good thing I'm not the only one. I dunno why... I think I'll miss using complex words like 'inextricable' or 'exacerbate' lol. Also, it's kinda like we've been hearing of the elusive "English exam" since year 7 or so, and now it was our turn to do it. It was when I heard the night before on the news "year 12's getting ready to start their exams tomorrow. English first" that I kinda realised that this was it haha. Just looking back at the essays I've done I can see all the hard work I've put in...

This english exam was fantastically constructed in the way it separated the good students from the bad

4500 essays?? That's a joke, right?

I think I said the tone was reassuring and it was written in a conversational style and in the last paragraph became quite inspirational. The target audience was obviously people who harbour some scepticism or doubt concerning the digital revolution.

For the picture I pulled something out of my ass. Talked about how the synthesis of computers and the human was supposed to reflect the evolution of the human brain. I explained it really badly though so I doubt the examiner will understand what I was trying to say.

I said it was reassuring too, as it was on a blog so the people reading it were obviously technologically savvy in the first place

tone i said was initially tempered and controlled, before shifting to a rousing "we must..." tone, and then ending in an obstinate,passionate tone you know like caling the oppostion "losers" and that

i left the first page of one of the sections blank and started writing on the second page...i dont know how but im getting paranoid about the fact that the examiner will not mark it because they dont see it.... what are your thoughts?

um i think they seldom mark blank exams so an empty first page will make them curious and continualy flip pages. so just one page being blank will most likely land you on a safe ground just my thoughts.
