I didn't mind the paper. I thought it would be alot harder with weird questions.

How much did you guys write for the last section. My teacher said we should be writing at least 10 pages. :rolleyes:

Question 2 sucked! i wrote i think 4 pages? It was too broad and could be taken in so many different ways... free thinking is one things but that was a joke! 40mins wasnt enough time to develop something decent... they were practically asking for superficial answers....

What did you guys write about? I wrote a speech on radical activists... haha it was pretty bad!

I thought the essay was good... i did 8 pages on that and spent about 50mins on it which cut into the time i left for q2....

Exam was 'ok'

Hey,
I thought the exam was 'ok' - especially being a catholic trial.. Section one was alright, for section two I did a feature article on the sell off of Telstra and how voters will vote against the government. The last section i managed to write 6 foolscape (?? spelling) pages.. Hopefully english on wed is 'ok'!

succinct means that you can say/write a whole heap of stuff in such a concise way that it reduces the amount of room you need to say it... like....

i had a dog and he was brown and his name was spot...
you could say... i had a brown dog called spot...
ok bad example but u get me?
