LMFAO the essay topic (first one) almost the same as what I wrote for you guys to mark in the ENgLang thread (well the ideas are similar)!! Wrote almost all pages and 1/4 of last page.. in 55 mins

Wtf was last question of spoken? Had no idea how to answer (besides saying went from phatic interaction to transactional). Were we supposed to mention sentence structure, types or what? Had no time

Also what features did you guys get that represents formal in Part 2 of Text 1?

but overall...think i did okay.  filled the script book.  not sure how good the essay was though.

did Q11.

overall was a decent exam.  40 may be possible, but I'm not getting my hopes up :P

What was a pun? Confused (As in what question)
Ooooh... that one... my brain died and i wrote metaphor, it was the closest thing i could think of(still didnt fit but i forgot to go back to it... i think that Q was only 2 marks anyway)... totally forgot about pun


I did 13, i like the political language/ language used to influence people kind of thing, so worked out for me :D

Thank god there were 3 choices this year also...

Overall pretty easy/standard exam i reckon
