What you all are saying all bear gravity in thier own separate ways. When I was a kid, I used to watch TV excessively... I watched silly programs like cartoons, reality tv, sitcoms, soaps, you name it... I was a twelve-year old TV tycoon glued to the TV by an adhesive addiction! Now when I...

The way you view how difficult a subject is, essentially depends on how much you are interested in it, I guess... Personally I love science and although I don't really love 4 unit maths, I guess I think I should do it because it is scaled very high! Hence the 6 unit science and 4 unit...

hmm... not a bad idea and I can't take anything away from you for trying but maybe you should advertise with a litlle more conviction in a more appropriate forum?

Yeah, true! :uhhuh:

DO you think I should start working even before the end of term 4? I don't want work to clash with Study. :confused:

Learning vocab helps, and as in all cases, only if used appropriately! Yeah, what you guys say is true.

SO you7 can do ext english in yr 12 withouht doing in yr 11?? Thanks for the stats by the way...gives me an idea of what's goin on! :uhhuh:

Not a prob! :uhhuh:

My Yr 12 friend gets this lady to come to school (we're boarders) and she teaches him for 50 bucks an hour. I must say, that's too much for me! Can't you get teachers who know all the modules or who are in general really good at ENglish teaching?

MOst of the assessments in Term 4 are towards the end aren't they?

How much does the average tutor charge?? Yeah, I think many of my classmates are considering taking tuition in English, mainly because it's a subject that definitely counts no matter what you do.

Well at least someone's with me!

You're damn right about that. Gotta go into Yr 12 relaxed, active and ready to fire!!!

True, you can derive good ENglish not just from novels and books but also from TV, newspaper and the like. Good point!

You're 1/8 through 4 unit ?? Now that's called getting your head stuck into things!!! GOod preparation! I wish I could do that, just too bloody distracted all the time!!!!!!!

Yeah, I guess there is no shortcut to these things. I'll have to read heaps, look up words I'm not familiar with and then apply these new words in my written, spoken English. Thanks heaps guys!

Yeah, I think linking is also very important when writing essays and stuff. Apparently BOS calls linking synthesis!? Thanks anyway!

Wow, thanks for taking time to share that! That was great. I think I am a bit more clear on this now.

AS far as possible, avoid doing a subject you don't WANT to do...there's nothing worse than getting bored with a subject you hate and staring out the classroom window for a whole damn year!! If possible, drop the one you don't want to do. Success = ability + effort + DESIRE

I heard Atwood, CIcero and Pearson were the most challenging ones, too. I've seen this 'context, purpose, audience' thing about a hundred times. WHat do we mean by purpose of the text? WHat about audience?? Is it referring to audience then or now? Oh, and do we need to talk about...
