The bit where if you don't paragraph then you can't display a skill that 11 year olds have. You're not showing that you know how to write.

Ah, I misread that post, when they said "I wrote in paragraphs but I started each new paragraph on the next line" I thought it meant that they had left a line at first.

poetry about identity went really well as i did a similiar question on tuesday and my teacher corrected my mistakes- and guess what- it came up in the real exam, well chuffed

description= scribbled out a page and a half as i felt what i was writing was crap. everytime i started again, a new better intro came into my mind.
started properly with only 20mins to go and i felt i did quite good as i included some similies,metaphors, personifaction, alliteration- only did 1 and a half- it's quality not quanity right?

chill.. I did a similar thing and forgot to end the letter with yours faithfully or whatever. Asked a teacher today and she said I would lose a couple for layout but it's not an awful mistake as the vast majority of the marks come from the content (obviously) :yep:

wait, if you indent a new papagraph, but don't leave a line, is that okay???

should be but not if you just wrote it like massive wall of text. am i right in think you cant get a C if you dont write in paragraphs?

For the describe question I wrote it in third person and forgot to include myself, it turned out to be more a description of a park rather than a day in my childhood, will this affect my mark or do you think they will interpret it as my view of a park from my childhood?

The poems question was awful. But describing went okay. I was writing about how there was a scarlet fountain spurting out of my nose when I got (imaginary) beaten up for my twix.

Describe didn't go as well as I had hoped, I spent way too much time on the poems; I wrote 4 goddamned pages!
Just managed to get in 2 pages for describe but I didn't have enough time to look over it...oh dear...there is DEFINITELY going to be something that doesn't make sense and the examiner is going to be like wtf?!
