I hope the module and the listening will be the same as well.

much much better then my trial, thats for sure

How did u all find???

 

[ae]

i thought section 1 was shocking hard.
last 2 qs were very tough.

essay qs is also tricky with "compare" bit.

its quite a hard paper for ESL.

 

[ressul]

I totally misunderstood the writting topic in section one!!!

Very sad. Anyone can talk about the meaning of the question?
What do they mean "introduction"? I wrote a story about myself.
So how much I can get out of 8???
Sad!!!!!!

i agree with you ae, the essay is bit tricky, but it was alright tho, the 2nd last question of setion 2 was alright too, but the last question of section 1 is hard... i don't even what it is asking for, all i did was explain the different types of journey and implementing the texts provided as an examples of the types of jouney.

and of course i realated back to the scenario, the Australian Journeys

 

[LSP]

oh yeah, i forgot about the bad bit.
wat kind of introduction are we suppose to write man...
my introduction is almost like an essay...

 

[ressul]

The prolem I think!

In the section 1, the writting issue.
I think they didn't give a very clear idea about what to write about.
I thought they just asked us to "introduce" ourself's journey to the resource collection with the theme of the 3 texts I have, and I did so.
But a lot of my mates said that they wanted us to write a thing like summary of the 3 articles they gave us before.
When I heard that, totally no idea.------8 marks!!
The question says like this:
"g) You are writting an INTRODUCTION for a collection of resources called Australian Journeys"
In your introduction, compare the Australian journeys depicted in the text one, two and three.
Any discussion?

yeah... same... i wrote a one full page, but i think i will only get few marks.

i think you mate did it correct, because that's what i did.......

 

[LSP]

I thought the question was asking us to introduce how different journeys you can take in Australia. and this is evidenced bu the text 1, text 2 and text 3. The introduction about journeys u can make in Australia.....?

cuz we needed to COMPARE the texts.. and this is about journey..so i wrote about wat types of physical journeys and where u can experience them and a bit of rhetorical questions.. (i think)

 

[ressul]

Any more ideas?

Any more ideas?

 

[ressul]

Hehe

Hehe, I 've heard a lot of different idea.
Also, some tell me that we should write a prologue to the Australian Journey.
Totally no idea!~~
Hopefully, the question can be asked more directly next year!

 

[ae]

i thought they were asking for us to write the intro for the new book of a collection called "Australian Journeys".
i guess there many ways to intepret this qs, i hope the markers take dis into consideration.

luckkyy

well, u guys r lucky thoughhh...
i messed up really bad in da exam

comprehension part,
6 marks question - i did it wrong, i pretended to be da guy in da photograph insteaf of jeff carter

8 marks question - i didnt finished it, just half a pg...

da supervisor was so stupid laaa... they didnt tell us whther we have on ly 1 minute left... so they just tapped me from the back and said "put ur pens down, time's up!"

so yea... i doubt it i can get really high on esl! dats suks...
btw, if u messed up in hsc, does rank matters? what if u rank 1st n u messed up really2 bad!?

 

[ae]

"6 marks question - i did it wrong, i pretended to be da guy in da photograph insteaf of jeff carter"

s***, i just realised i did the same

 

[stears]

well,i'm dead...

I totally forget about the time, i spent all the time on that fxxxin essay and i only did that 6 marks question for Section I

 

[yvonne_710]

it's ok!

undefinedundefinedundefinedit's ok for paper 1. esp the essay part. i even can't believe that the question is near the same like trial's one. but i think the section 1, 6 marks and 8 marks questions a little bit confused...overall it is not bad on the first day!

 

[stazi]

hey guys, not doing esl, but judging from the question I would say that you had to write exactly what it asks eg.

Australian Journeys can take on many forms. One can travel through the sky on a hot air baloon, on a train agains the plains and deserts etc.
Then you would have had to refer to the three texts briefly, comparing how each journey is different.

 

[whenever2gether]

Oh!

that 8 marks question!

and the essay ..

after seeing all the posts

it makes me worry lol

i thought that question required us to write

an introduction paragraph and compare (was it ?)

the ideas of journeys in each texts


i interpreted that as something like magazine or

an collection of resources for library (as it says)


hm.....
