    discursive

    persuasive as in exposition? gosh i think the last time i wrote one of those was in year 9 naplan ☠ for essays, avoid figurative language as you're aiming to be straight to the point. if you were asked to write a persuasive text, I'd assume the same thing goes (but year 9 me remembers being...

    discursive

    think of it like a written speech. it's not as formal as an essay, so you can add jokes, rhetorical questions, pop culture references etc that are relevant to your topic. read a few blog posts or even some articles on The Conversation to get an idea of what kind of tone to go with. also...

    eng ext literary worlds

    I assume when you're talking about literary worlds you're referring to the unseen section (Section 1) that will come in the exam. Treat it like an extension of short responses in advanced eng. The critical responses tend to be longer in extension (and could be worth 10, 15 or 20 marks). Start...

    Quick Question about Uni

    there's not really homework that they actually check, but the chemistry classes I did had pre-labs that had to be completed before the labs and they would be checked they'll probably tell you if something is compulsory or not lol

    Quotes For A'isha AbuBakar Or Other Significant Persons

    Thanks Jimmy! The trimester study load, whilst annoying is kinda working with my extra stuff outside of uni. Only issue is it's far from where I live so commute is annoying. USYD is similar commute time as well. Not sure how 4 subjects a term would work with my lifestyle lol. Humanities have...

    english advanced

    lots of practice writing, for both essays and short answer it's worth reading critical papers related to your text as well for more insight + it can help strengthen your arguments. Easy to find and download some through online libraries or databases like Google Scholar or JSTOR

    What's ex1 like?

    I'd like to add to this I did Adv and Ext, and defo enjoyed Extension a lot more. It was more demanding, as you said (especially because of the level of independent work required), but the texts were much more interesting than those in advanced and I genuinely had more fun writing my essays and...
