English Exam Thoughts

[taiga]

It is a transcript of a speech with two powerpoint slides, it's not a speech.

But yeah the capitalization of inclusive language and such would imply that the speaker aimed to emphasize verbally certain aspects.

I think not including the opening image is a bit of a concern though, superficial examiners will immediately deduct some marks, but that said if the rest is fine they cant exactly do too much.

I had to make up on the spot my text response and whose reality, i think they were not as conceptually complex as I liked, and my handwriting sucked.

Oh well, other exams now

Would the conference be for highly esteemed people or leaders?

[saaaaaam]

*praises the writers of the 2010 VATE english prac exam who predicted the cosi topics*

Why thank you.

And the identity and belonging prompt was awesome.

As for language analysis ... we'll see.

[Albeno69]

so for the lang analysis did u have to say audience or is reader the right answer?

[gold104]

Try not to dwell on minor errors, im sure you all did well!:)

[OforA]

That first slide got me, i didnt analyse it... FML (i thought it was just the title)
How many marks do you think would be taken off for not analysing it..?
I guess it was a good trap, but really, you couldn't analyse it much

I doubt they would care if u mentioned reader. They aren't gonna dwell on trivial things such as that.

i analysed the first thing with the image on the last slide

Yeah I put foreign diplomats / leaders.

No one will be penalized for not distinguishing between reader/audience.

Someone could be getting persuaded through reading a transcript, or they could have been there as a part of the audience. Either way it is persuasive, and the task is to find out how it is so.

some1s phone kept going off in the foyer with blink182 dammit it was so annoying!! they didn't even remove it. I did really shit. I said audience too >.> it was so annoying because i was doing what i knew was wrong (i wanted to cry)

I didnt talk about the first image.
but i talked alot about the last one.
I really dont think they will take marks off.

The context for whose reality was brilliant, and I could write very confidentely.

Cosi, why on earth did I pic prompt 1, look back? I seem to make things rather hard for myself.

and Language analysis was okay, and I think I had good context,but I was having slight trouble identifying techniques and im afraid I lost coherency from this.
