EXTENDED PAPER LEAK HAHA
I found question 1 alright however when I was looking for my "A" bullet point I wnet down three paragraphs before I found any. Task 2 was stressful. What did you put for the overall effect for A and B . I put that A is described as a dream and B is described as a unpleasant place.

question 3 was difficult for me .... question 1 was ok and question 2 was absolutely ridiculous!!!! I made random points also was fresh market on question 2 for paragraph about visit relevant?
Hope they lower the grade boundaries this year tho!

In Q2 I put that the overall mood for a) is sophistication of her entry or whatever b) the variety of fruits, the busyness, the unpleasantness of the market

Also what did u guys put for inference in Q1 Bullet Point 3?

Yes I did. I didn't understand most of the other vocabularies so I chose this one. I don't even exactly understand this phrase neither, but I wrote about alliteration bringing the reader's attention to make them realise that the walls may have been neglected and ignored. And although, the walls were neglected, it was still described as a 'charming mirage', suggesting that it's still glamourous even if it didn't receive much man-made attention. (Some walls are fitted with tiles or painted in better colours but this was just white washed) . so finally, I wrote about how sometimes, nature and natural objects are better than man-made. Ahaha I don't think it has anything to do with the question but this was all I could think about. AND plus, I did Question 2 last, so I was running out of time and I was rushing and writing so fast, i was even sweating with a red face afterwards.

Well, it sounds like you did a lot better than I did, I talked all about science and white reflecting heat and lots of other things about white walls and heat. I didn't mention alliteration...
I started from question 3 because it has more marks and I was instructed to by my teacher but i absolutely loved Q3 it was so easy.

Q1 was next and it was pretty good but I doubt I got a reasonable amount of marks for it but I reckon I got 9,10 or 11 out of 20.

Q2 was the hardest because the quality of the quotes were **** and all I said for the effects was about imagery,making the person want to read more etc.
