Current Year 12 Thread Mark I (2013-2014)

no not yet

no this was a different teacher from end of year 10, she left on maternity leave and never came back ... and my old english teacher who she covered for, he wasn't happy but he said there wasn't much we could do .... and no *bigger sigh* i got an A in language

You seem suspiciously happy about your first teachers departure....
Oh well! Now you've got A-Levels to look forward to
Congratulations at your A in English Language though

Awesome well if you do publish them, tell me, or I could PM you my email and you could just email me? I've considered having a blog, but I don't think I would remember to update it often enough I'm bad enough at updating my fanfictions. I'm not sure I have anything I'm that happy with at the moment, but as soon as I do I'll be quite happy for you to read it!

It gets kind of addictive, I find myself writing too much of it and not enough original stuff now. I'm trying to cut down, but when you're in the middle of a really long fanfiction story that's quite hard to do.

Some people do like planning! I think it can really help some stories, and I love planning characters and places, I just don't like to plan plots. I often have a rough outline in my head though.

A novel with pirates? That sounds amazing too you have some great ideas! Much more original than a lot of things I've read. Finding it easy to generate ideas can only be a good thing - you're lucky that you have such a talent! Yeah, I agree - I wish Creative Writing was available as a GCSE, or that at least English Language would have more of a creative writing element. I found school English rather disappointing.

Reading is always fun what are you reading right now? I think I probably need to improve my vocabulary as well - it doesn't seem to be as diverse as it used to be.

There are certainly lots of novels which are great story-wise but really, really simply written! I think Divergent comes under that as well - it's a great story, I enjoyed it, but it isn't challenging in the slightest. Words are amazing confusing sometimes, but always amazing.

I'm not really set on an occupation yet. Maybe a novelist, lawyer, accountant, doctor, etc.

You are forgiven
(your name reminds me of another user but I cant remember who....)
Another aspiring novelist here, I see. Preserve and anything is possible
I also do a bit of writting on the side myself. Mainly one-shots and poetry (*cool, I know*)
I'm more interested in tragedy, romance, sci-fi. No horror for me though....
Dystopia? I'm doing an essay on that. Feel free to exhange ideas with me about it



And from that she may have held a sense of resentment towards you, for the remainder of your school year
It does seem a bit odd her lowering your controlled assessment mark for no real reason though. Did you take this matter up with another member of the English department as opposed to the French department?
Main Question: Did you get your A*?

techno:

Edexcel Maths
AQA Economics
OCR Politics
OCR Latin

(Didn't know all exam boards until today and wanted to give you them in one post.) Thanks!

haha maybe she was rather evil an yep no more english

and thanks, it took quite a bit of work to get it

I'm sure Sixth Form will help you discover what occupation you really aspire too. I heard some students still don't know what to do whilst at university.

I'm still thinking whether being a novelist is right for me as it's a hard occupation to get into. That's why I love that the English degree is so broad.

No worries. I'll be doing english for the next 2 or possibly 5 years, so pretend to be enthusiastic about it when interacting with me
I'm probably going to be one of those students at university I just love too many subjects...
Well, if you really want to be a novelist the end result will be you'll become one; thats the only way of knowing the occupation is right (when the bad doesn't halt you)
And who doesn't love English. Its great.

oh sorry haha yay english

i do like it it's more i don't like the teachers who do it at my school

Yes- thats more like it
Thats why I don't like Maths anymore

:O :O :O DO NOT SAY THAT

And what are you talking about specifically? Is it the part where I said 'I don't like Maths anymore...
