    My reason was really bad, i said driving a car is a necessity for many young people to drive to work etc whereas extreme sports isnt

    ohwell, hopefully ill get 1 mark
    I put that some extreme sports are individual & won't affect other people whereas car driving relies on other people & could injure other people

    I wrote that young people need a driving license to be legitimately allowed to drive whereas people participating in extreme sports don't need a license to do so

    What did everyone get for the multiple choice?

    For the chewing gum one, what was the argument element? and what was the intermediate conclusion

    and for the tabloid, what was the conclusion and what was the other conclusion you could draw?

    and the EU languages one, what was the argument element?
    and the lip synch one, what was the argument element?

    If anyone remembers that is
    Chewing gum - I put reason, I think, though I wasn't sure. IC, can't remember the question.

    Conclusion = Reporting the sex scandals is harmful. Other conclusion = I put the one that went like 'Tabloid papers should be careful about reporting footballer's sex scandals'.

    My memory is fading fast. I can't remember the EU languages question - might have been main conclusion? - and for lip sync I think I put it was a counter-assertion.

    For the analogy, I think I put that both extreme sports and driving are dangerous activities or something. It was a bit weak. Not sure how the argument writing went, it's always really difficult to tell how you did with Critical Thinking. :/

    But hey, that was my last AS exam so I'm happy.
