lol im going to get pwned. throughout the whole LA i said readers - there goes half my marks =/

It's language analysis not a test on whether you say reader or audience. This is a negligible mistake that should have next to no effect on your mark if your analysis was good.

What about if for the majority you refer to them as "audience/listeners" and then slip into referring to them as "readers" several times?

Will the inconsistency adversely affect your mark?

xD its the same thing as me interchanging between "he" and "she" on my voxi piece

Page-wise I did less - around 7 pages for all three.  In terms of word count though it was around 1300-1400 for both text/context, and something closer to 1250 for Language Analysis.

Also, I think I'm pretty much the only person who wrote on the second Richard prompt.  >.>

You only get ~200 words per page? So most of your paragraphs go for more than a page? Wow. lol

Oh, and - it has to be asked - 60/60?

xD I counted once for a practice paper, I write about ~170-180 a page for exam script book

for the image on the first page I wrote that it showed like sort of the "beautiful elements of nature" whatever that means with like animals and fishes and tree and two people holding hands together (one seemed older than the other) so like the older and the younger generation need to work together to help the enviornment

....GENIIUS OMG

Ahahaha thanks guys.  To be honest I'll be happy as long as I don't epically fail - seriously concerned, since pretty much everyone else went with the "easy" prompt.  Hopefully I didn't just completely misinterpret it or something...



i thought i screwed up my 1984, but apparently not... so i'm sure you'll do fine.

Not that I know of. I spoke of how people are unwillingly drawn into conflict and also that we must at times involve ourselves in conflict for whatever stupid reasons.
