English Language Paper 2 (Specification A)! Well Eazy!

Hey,

I did my English Language (Spec A) paper 2 today; it was well easy!

I did "Search for my Tongue" and "Presents from my aunts in Pakistan", It was well easy and then i did the describe question; "Describe your dream world?"

But there was so much I could of wrote about on the poems: I had to narrow it down because of time and so the examiner doesn't get bored reading it. :(

For the poems I did an introduction on the word "Description" and how it relates to the poems I choose, then wrote about the 2 poems seperate on how they use effective description and then a conclusion on the one I prefer and why.
I included loads of Bull-Sh*t to get me more marks LOL and like basically made most of it up.

For the describe I did like 2pages and like 1/4. :)

Hoping for "B" overall! :)

How did you guys find it?!?

Amit

I found it well easy as well..
Believe it or not i did exactly the same questions as you..:eusa_danc

oh my flippin' god.
the easiest poem came up, with possibly the hardest question
"Two scavengers," and " island man"
i only knew two scanegers, and island man was short so i did that.
omg it was super hard :(
FAILED RIGHT THERER.

Then i saw
"Describe your dream world"
Easy?
LOL
NOPE.
i started writing about the worst thing ever, should of planned it, i wrote that i was Madeline, and i was kidnapped and took the best place ever, and that stuff was all happening, but then when i got found, it turned out my dad had been hiding me, and then i couldn't live no longer cause the world didnt revolve around me, so then i killed someone for more attention and my world was restored.
LOL
OMG
IM SO GONNA FAIL! :(

Very easy!!

I did the dream world one and because I thought the examiner would get bored reading constant essays about 'no wars' and 'no hate' etc... I did a story instead.

For the cultures poems, I was hoping for 'Two scavengers' and I was like 'YES!' because I tried my best to look through the paper without opening it and see what the named poem was but all I could see was 'in a mercedes.' If I wasn't in an exam, I would have jumped up and down in delight :D

I did the same questions as the thread starter. Seeing as we had only studied cluster two poems I had to go with question two although I didn't like the question, would of much preffered question one because I could blag that and get a decent grade. I did my own dream world which went okay I think, never used so many adjectives, aha.

i did the TSIATTBPIAM & island man poems, that was really hard

then i did dream world, that was also really hard.

Yeah it was easy. I was happy with the questions. I did 'Search For My Tongue' and 'Presents From My Aunts In Pakistan.' Then my dream world. Didn't really wrote much for that. :>

LOL, for section B, I just used all the similies I could LOL, tried some alliterations, alot of complex sentences with semi-colons and colons for the extra marks, a few dashes here and there and aload of the random stuff to secure some good easy marks LOL and for ideas - copied some stuff out of the anthology on other poems LOL. Used short-sentences for impact, umm adjectives, used my senses obviously, its a describe question. LOL

Yeah, what I done. I thought about stealing some lines out of the anthology but I never got around to it in the end. It's a good way to show off the simplest of things all of which will get you marks.

Did everyone do Island man for the two scavangers question? I did 'What were they like?' :(

Yeh Man! for section B they give you most of the marks for spelling & punctuation LOL. Thats why I threw it all in to get some easy marks, if ive messed up anywhere else in the paper. Its a good idea I thought at the time :)

I didn't think of that at the time but when you're writing punctuation and spelling just come naturally really. The thing that you really have to think of is how to make it different from everyone elses.

I did Two Scavengers and Limbo
and the letter writing to inform

i thought it was hard :( failed that one!

Yeh its easy to puncuate while your writing like - full stops,commas,question marks, but not the harder stuff like semi-colons and colons, dashes, you have to really go through and check where it fits in.

I did Island man for the two scavs one, I was gonna do what were they like but I decided not too..

Describe your dream world I think I confused the examiner, because it wasn't clear when I was dreaming or not =D

Thankfully alot of people here done 'Two Scavengers..' and 'Island Man' cus I did but barely any of my chums did haha. It was so easy the poetry, I wrote about two pages just on the blimming structure/layout and I could of wrote so much more given the time, seriously the best poems came up and the best question about layout, language and the effects they give, that's literally all you learn in english is what the poems show :D So I done that and I think I've done good and I took the inform question for the section b although I felt like I was persuading so I really had to counter it with more different points of views so I came across as being non-biased which is sort of the aim, so I tried to make it seem that I was informing about the topic and then giving pro's and con's in addition so hopefully that will be alright :P

I though the poems were okay....
The section B questions were HARD! I did dream world and totally waffled on about crap.
baaaaaah:rolleyes:

Yeah I'm surprsed at the amount of people who took the describe question, every english teacher in my school has been like "DON'T CHOOSE DESCRIBE!!!!" haha it's like our golden rule, cus it's meant to be the hardest to get the marks and my teacher said only A* writers should rly do it :S which I was surprised to hear because it seems straight forward but meh they're the professionals.

poems were a bit easy. especially the question for cluster 1, kind of gave you a lot of choice. ended up doing Two Scavengers.. and Nothings Changed 'cos I know that poem best.


Section B was easy too. Did the dream world one.
Just wrote about people going into 'their own little world' and mines usually in a maths lesson to make it abit funny (even though its not). Then wrote loads about the 5 senses :)

First part was easy - I did Limbo with Two Scavengers

I looked at the second part and was like "THESE ALL SUCK". So I did the explain one seeing as it was the only one I could really do.

I did limbo and two scavengers purely because I could waffle on about their weird stranza structure and all that

I did the formal letter to whatsisface in the second one because its more my thing, i can do formal writing... ish :P

My analyse question on change was just ****e.

Didn't go as wel as Tuesday... Did ok.

ah crap. we were never toldthat. Althought i do believe it is hard to get really good marks for it. I say you've got to be a verrrrry good writer to get the majority of the marks. I hhate explaining and inform whhateverrr. i always do describe!

ah ijust wrote about perfection and things like that. i did pretty crap now i think about it aha....

section A i did search for my tongue and half-caste, ive no idea why and/or how, wrote 3 pages for this.
then in section b i did letter to minsiter of education, wrote 4 pages lul.

I did Unrelated Incidents with Two Scavs and just waffled on about social class lol, I didn't like it :(.

Section B was awkward as well, in the end I chose to describe Steve Gibson :D.

I did two svavengers In a truck with Presents from my aunts in Pakistan,
both where really long titles so it got really annoying having to keep writing them out lool.
The second bit i described my dream world, cos I got an A on my origional writing cw which was descriptive.

I did nearlly the same as the person above :) and did okayy i guess.

Reckon i failed tho :( owell i cud be a dark horse ;)

Yeah we get told that aswell, our teacher says don't go for describe unless you have been told or know your a talented writer with an excellent imagination.
