Section 2

[lord82]

What person narrative and tense did people use in writing test B. Did anyone write more than two sides of A4?

Thanks all

The first essay I wrote in a more formal style. The second one, I made more personal and casual. Both were pretty much in the third person.

I pretty much filled each book, but I've got large writing.

Good grief - fill the book? I wrote one side of fairly small writing for the first task and one and a half for the second. I wrote the first in third person and the second in first as I started it off with a personal family story about laughter. Although I was pleased with sections I and III, I now know for next year that I really need to concentrate on these flippin essays! Kind of knew and ignored it before hand too but have to say I was a little scared off by sample essays I read as they sounded so high brow but I think the thing I should have reminded myself is that there is not just one "correct" style.

Hello , I would be grateful if you can tell me what essays you opted to write about

[Parker]

Gosh, hard to remember now, wish we had been allowed to take home the question paper as we are in our uni exams! For the riches part I wrote about "he who has the least being the richest" and about the rich people inspiring industry etc.. and I think a third which I now cannot remember! For the laughter part I wrote about knowing a lot about somebody by what they laugh at and nothing ebing able to stand in the face of laughter, again there may have been another I cannot remember! My brain was used to full capacity by part III hence to prior memory!!! How about you Karen? Did you find it ok?

my section A was something like 'riches are not an end of life, they are the instrument of life'...???

section B was something about nothing being able to stand the assault of laughter.

Would think it would be permanently etched in my memory, but can't remember exactly :?

Was just wondering how many people responded to just one prompt and how many to several. Last year the instructions were to respond to only one. I wonder why they changed it??

snap!

I responded to just one quote, because I felt I could write more coherently that way without straying of the point. There was no definitive rule about how many points must be made in the essay were there?

[medicwannabe]

nope! it said one or more!
