first extract was okay, good 15 marker, but the second extract was just awful it was all dialogue and the 15 marker was how they present ‘the importance of planning’ i literally could not thing of anything, transactional was good

I was genuinely at such a loss for what to write for those questions, especially the evaluate question on planning??? The waffle was intense with this one. There was barely anything substantial I felt I could write about, it was just people talking about drawing and hiding rafts? I'm hoping transactional will save me but due to how much time was spent on the horrid extract questions my piece felt very rushed. I'll just have to hope for the best for now.
