haha ..you guys were pro...
i was like thinking for most of the time ....
i guess knowing too much can be disastrous ...
i only had 35 mins to write my essay ..
so ended up...screwing it with intro+2 body paragraphs+ordinary conclusion
BAD...  :(


really dont worry. i did the same thing. :)

Mega concerned with my exam! I wrote that Q3 for written was personification, which clearly when I walked out the exam I clicked that it was a metaphor! And I struggled with comparing the syntactic features.. and the essay.. I did 11 and im worried about that as well! I wrote 3 and a half pages with 15 words a line but over used stimulus material for my last paragraph!

Overall, I found the exam challenging compared to practice exams!

I wouldn't know about prac exams because I didn't do any, but I think they were pretty generous with the very general exam topics, and Text 2 which had tonnes of non-fluency features (I think maybe an overuse of them)

I think the texts were fair, just I didn't expect two 6 mark questions on formality and informality..

also, no chance of getting 1 out of 2 for Q3 of written is there? obviously I won't get the mark for identifying the correct stylistic feature, but if I dodged the purpose of it could I possible gain a mark?

Gah! Just thankful exam is over!

Good question.. hopefully they're kind enough to award marks; after all, regardless of the stylistic it was all for the same purpose.

i said the stylistic device was a metaphor because it is non-literal use of the term 'take off' because an idea can't literally 'take off'. But i think they should accept pun as well because of the double meaning of to 'take off'.
