You can still get decent marks. 9 marks are for SPG etc, and you can get high marks for personal style and using the descriptive devices.

What did you describe then, it's probably not as bad as you think :smile:

What's it worth anyway, 15%? It sounds perfectly fine to me, I'm sure you'll be okay. Stop worrying :smile:

do you think if I get a C on my exams, would my coursework and speaking and listening push it up to a B?

B high for my coursework, and was a mid / low B for speaking and listenings

Exams are worth 60% and speaking and listenings + coursework = 40%

anyone?

I think the highest is a C without paragraphs.

I'm not 100% but my friend did a mock writing to describe and didn't use paragraphs and it was graded as a C due to the lack of paragraphs...

I'm sure you'll do fine anyway! Other parts of the English Language exams and coursework will pull your grade up! So don't worry about it!
