I agree with changing vayan to llamen.

Phew I did that too. I agree that the listening was a bit more difficult than previously, translations were hard but I think I was always going to think that. Essays were good for me (I did a region)

Everyone seems to have done Almodovar

did ANYONE do Cuba? preferably question 11b ?

I did Cuba!! but 11a...

The reading where you had to put the letters of the words that fitted gap fil about the immigration economy was ridiculous! What kinda words did everyone put? I remember putting beneficios for the first one, then in no order: estos, prejuicios, perjudica, receptor, gastando ..?

I think the listening was a little more difficult. The hated the gap filling exercise I actually liked the translations. I think I mucked up on a few phrases and words

Cool! What points did you highlight? Because 11b basically asked ' how did two people change society'

And i talked about how Guevara and Castro made:

- Agricultural reforms
- Education reforms
- Healthcare reform
- Changed the economic model ( corrupt capitalism)
- Won the hearts and minds of the peasants
- Enabled social mobility

What did people get as the 5 letters for the kids who had the problem with their brains?

I think i got:
A-they have problems with their brains
B- they're the first to have this new technique used on them
I can't remember the letter but the one about their families thinking it was a miracle
K- other doctors opposing it because they think its unethical
I'm not sure what my other one was

Help anyone?

We're doing Bernarda Alba aswell and our teacher has told us only to do that instead of the film! I wouldn't do it though if you haven't been taught the themes/characters/symbols in detail though

Oh I see! I was taught it in detail but I was never going to do an essaay on it :/ hope the exam went well.

Anyway...

I didn't like it too much... Wasn't a fan of the listening, I hate those true/false exercises with a passion. Then I thought it was ambiguous that one where you had to write down in order you heard stuff... I had too many things for the boxes at first :/ And that one about the man and his views about immigration, that started off okay but then the questions got evil from when it was talking about what his job was...

Reading was generally okay, first and second texts were okay... Didn't like that one about the biomass, the multiple choice section again, the synonym question was fine.
Translations weren't ridiculously challenging, still probably made mistakes.

Wrote a very long essay, dunno if it's a good one though :/

Also with the synonym question on the reading, I didn't read the whole question information initially, but when I finally re-read it, I saw that all the words were in fact in order! I thought this made the task A LOT easier.

the other one was about one of the child's mothers being grateful "agradecimiento", and i don't think B is correct I put the one that said they used células madre, but I could be wrong.

I concur with this.

Did it have to be in the order they were heard? Mine were jumbled up :/

One thing which I would like a second opinion on is in the listening question about the endangered birds, what did you change in the last sentence? I changed 'vayan' to 'llamen' but other people I spoke to changed 'ruega' at the start of the sentence?

I put llamen xx

[chucklybunny08]

i thought the paper was okay...don't want to speak to soon and really don't know how i've done. i felt my essay was quite general - did pans lab and successes. what did people put for the embajada i think it was!? i put parliament and then was embarrassed when everyone said it was the embassy hahha

centrales I think for plantas.

What did people put for the correction exercise in the listening section? About the birds.

Oh, it's so hard to remember. I think I'm wrong though I didn't like the exercise at at all! I think I put prejuicios first and éstos last. I only remember these two because they were the ones that I wasn't sure of. That sucks that you had to do it so fast!
