Its a college, in York, hence the name York college.

Ah yes. I was expecting a college, in Oxford, hence the confusion over why you wrote the name of your school.

The Cambridge guys have got 30 more pages than us, so we needed to do some catching up!

Original post by punctuation

Yeah, I am. I'm just doing so for the sake of doing so, not particularly because I want to attend a Canadian uni though. :tongue:

Why? Just because you'd like a change?))

Original post by manic_fuzz

Huh...That was soo assuring!! :redface:

I have been freaking out for weeks 'bout ELAT.. Thanks alot! And yeah, as someone has already asked, could you please tell something regrading the essay structuring?? :smile:

Yay, I'm glad I could help :smile:

I'm sorry to say this, but I have no idea how I structured my essay. Once you hand it in you never get to see it again, and while I do remember which texts I worked on I have no idea what my structure was like. To be honest I doubt I had a decent structure, as lots of ideas came to me while I was writing and working on a point :redface:

I do remember not having an ending - I ran out of time and had my paper yanked from underneath my pen :tongue:

I'm really sorry I can't be more helpful - I'm not a native English speaker and this was about the first essay on literature I ever wrote in my life, so I had no idea of what a normal or good structure even was :dontknow:

Again, I can't emphasise enough that while the ELAT is important and I would advice everyone to take it seriously, it really isn't something you should be too worried about; you've probably been writing essays for years. This is just an aptitude test; if you want to study English this is something you're good at. Hell, I even made a few spelling mistakes and got a 50.
