Hi!

Hey, the texts you need are:

Tokkyo no Shina - Hoshi Shinichi
Hana - Akutagawa Ryunotsuke
Duke - Kaori Ekuni

Hana comes from a book called "dondon yomeru iroirona hanashi" but I'm not sure where the other two come from as my teacher just gave me a photocopy of them.

Hope that helps!

No
For the translation section, the transation doesnt have to be the same word for word does it?
It just has to make sense and have the same meaning right?
Yeah I guess so... I mean some things in English won't make sense if they're directly translated into Japanese if that makes sense?
They mark it as 1.0/0.5/0 for each sentence I think and it's out of 10 marks! I wouldn't concentrate on the translation too much as they're quite difficult sometimes! Did you see last year's on the gardening and stuff?!

Oh right thanks! Do you have any tips for section C? I'm an individual learner so I'm a bit scared for the exam on Wednesday.

Just try to have an essay prepared on the plot of the books and commit some of it to memory, you'll be able to use a lot or at least some of it in the essays, it takes a lot of pressure off :smile: or at least I hope it's going to. I'm going to go for the essays first, they're worth SO many marks in comparison to the rest of the paper!

Hm yeah, I'll do that :smile: I know! I wish the translation was worth more because it takes me ageees! Thanks, good luck tomorrow!
