Is this Ella3? I did not like the comparing texts at all. Not the worst for information but crisps....seriously.

My friend told me for the adaptation, it said to write diary ENTRIES, but I just wrote one entry. Plus, I wrote it as if the strike my character was a part of was in the past, but the struggles for textiles workers are ongoing, so mixture of present and past tense. Does that sound OK?

I wrote multiple entries because that is what the question said. I did the house somewhere one because we studied that instead of the feminist writing. I think if the examiner understands it you're fine. :smile:

The crisps comparison was annoying. The diary entries were ok, but I thought my self analysis was dire :'(

Yeah it made me never want to eat crisps again. I liked the diary entries. They are a gift in my opinion because besides the standard "dear diary" you aren't really restrained.
I think my self analysis was so so too. But problem with English is you're never really sure. :/

Yeah, I mean crisps. What. I swear Text B the guy was getting horny over them too :biggrin:

Mmm I'm sure I have done a lot worse than I wanted though. Oh well, 7 days until the next exam. Pub time

I did this too :frown:

I cried when I got out and realised. I messed up big time in that exam, too rushed, too panicked :frown:

Does anyone know how many marks they would deduct from it for only writing one entry?

Hey guys. For Q6 I only included one example of social networking site: facebook. And just spoke about that and nothing more. I also made up names of the creators of facebook. Would i lose any marks?- if yes how many. Also in Q5 i was soooooo informal like as if im talking to afriend by including daft, unnessesary phrases such as 'come on buddy, you know if you approve my ideas this years festival will be the greatest' would i be dramatically marked down?????

He really was. No wonder people on the train were looking at him weird. :P Text C was annoying due to how little you could actually use for it.
I have 9 days until my next exam. Biology. Bleh.

I can't believe I wrote a diary entry rather than plural entries.

I didn't even know the guy in text B stole the crisps.

I was hoping for an A* as well :frown:

I reckon almost half of students probably wrote a single diary entry. oh well.

aah thank you so much! my friend was saying the question interchanged "entry" and "entries", maybe we didn't mess up too badly?
maybe they'll be more lenient because so many people messed up - that's my hope

yeah i hope so too ! tbh I can't remember if entry and entries was interchanged. but if it was, we get a free pass so fingers crossed !

tbh they should be more explicit and state 'multiple diary entries'

I know we should be observant and read the question but still
