I know! I'm hoping for a low grade boundary for an A :s-smilie:

I never expect grade boundaries for german to be low because majority of the students are all Native germans and sometimes it annoys me because I have to compete with their level of natural German. But it's okay - anyone can do the subjects they want to do but what annoys me is the fact that examiners don't appreciate that there people in this country who are learning a new language and it is hard for them..

Where'd you get that figure from? I highly doubt the majority are native speakers

Exactly!! And it's nearly always 93 for an A so that means we can really afford to lose many marks on the L and R, in order to get a an A ( Im awful at writing essays!)

Think freuen was the last one, as the sentence had 'sich' in it and to me it seemed like it was 'they would look forward to music lessons more' or something. I could be wrong though

Yeah I got all of those as well. I put sammelt for the second last one but that seems wrong to me - not sure. I put 'verkaufen' in the bit just before 'veroffentlicht' and also herenterladen in there somewhere.

I put freuen for the last one too, and gehört for the first one. Does anyone remember what they wrote on the grammar section for the question on 'einladen' and the 'müssen' one?

Sven for the 3rd one about how he doesn't like market labels and about people not dressing for their age.
Muhsin I wrote his name 3 times..for the one about the colours and mood, the last one about quality clothes lasting long and another one about not spending too much money.

yeah I used herunterladen and sammelt. But I think I put sammelt before veroffentlicht because veroffentlicht is a verb and it ends with a t so I assumed it couldn't be an infinitive/plural verb and sammelt ended with a t as well so I thought they could refer to the same noun. Idk if i'm right though.

Thinking back I think it was either veroffentlichen or verkaufen rather than a -t for one of them. I doubt I'd have put verkaufen next to veroffentlicht as that makes no sense. Having said that sammeln and veroffentlichen make more sense together regardless of grammar so you're probably right there.

All in all it was a good paper with nice essay questions. But for some reason I spent far too much time on the reading -.-

Did anyone do the Friendship essay? I don't think mine went too well, I found it difficult to include sophisticated vocabulary and half way through I wished I had chosen Werbung but had no time to restart:-( I'm hoping I did really well in the other sections to make up for a bad essay now, because my points were mainly quite underdeveloped and just generally weak.
