Englang Exam Discussion!

[nbalakers24]

What did you guys write for features to show that Part 2 was formal? I think I wrote use of jargon and passive voice but dunno the last one

jargon, declarative to inform terms and conditions and capitalised pronouns.

wanted to mention passive but couldn't discuss it. LOL

do you mean capitalised proper nouns?

yes but ah f%$k i wrote pro nouns in the exam 

[_avO]

this is english language, pro is short for proper

I said there was 2 functions. One to inform of the product and another to entertain with the nonstandard language and discourse particles.


Im fucking pleased. I thought it was easy and you guy who studied must have thought it was piss. I struggled with the wording on the short answers, found myself repeating a few things but I think I did enough. For the essay I did q13 and wrote all about PC and attitudes, taxed all that shit from the thread we made last night. Haha. and 5 pages in 55 minutes with all 5 bodies, not all complete though. =\ still chuffed that its over and chuffed that it turned out not too hard.

BTW when I saw the essay topics I thought they were pretty kind. I had trouble picking which one, I could have written equally as much on all 3 even though im not that great.

haha ..you guys were pro...
i was like thinking for most of the time ....

i only had 35 mins to write my essay ..
so ended up...screwing it with intro+2 body paragraphs+ordinary conclusion
BAD...

okay 3 questions!!
firstly was q 1 to inform the reader of the shit thats going on and to instruct the reader to buy tickets as well as where to?
question 3 was it a pun?
and i think it was question 4 the one that asked for the 3 features that show the fomality.. would i get full marks for saying 1) there was no contractions as in they said "are not" not "aren't" 2) capitilising important things like "Guest Contact Centre" and 3) they used lots of specific dates like "1st Dec, 2009" to add formalitiy??

thankyou!!

If the dates were to add to the formality then it would have been writen December, not Dec.

yeah contractions are informal so thats fine.
i'm not so sure about the specific dates, but you could back it up with metalanguage and it would be fine, so something about it being declarative sentence to state facts to increase formality, etc.
