Did you link it to the statement in any way?

Well I said that if people strive to be teachers only for the sake of them being respected for the status and PhDs etc. then that deprives the next generation of their learning opportunities

For my final paragraph, I then I went off on a capitalist spiel (AIC ) saying that we lose a generation of creativity where companies only want to get a much money out of your pockets etc. We disregard people and don't care for them etc. if people only strive for status and wealth in their careers

I have entirely and absolutely fumbled it.
Q1 - was calm
Q2 - I have a feeling I didn't entirely stick to what Q2 was asking, Where I basically called source A an uncontrollable and Overwhelming place, I talked about the ship metaphor.
Q3 - I realized it basically asked what I put for Q2 is basically what I needed for Q3 AND then added the one-man A&E thing which I fear is outside the parameters.
Q4 - I feel like I went into source A a bit more and mentioned source B at the end to stop the rubric infringement.
Q5 - I FUMBLED I waffled about how we are going more toward a digital world and mentioned the careers are more catered towards it. Mentioned that the idea of delivery is more helpful to society due to its ease of access at which I then talked about SHEIN FACTORIES and how that has manipulated the idea of ease of access for 1st world countries and made it worse for 3rd world countries.

Am I cooked?

it depends on your quality of writing, I don’t know what you wrote so I can’t give you a mark

I really won't lie I flopped english language. Today I did so bad because I had no time at all to do anything, I stupidly wasted all my time on the second question because I had so much to say then I did approx a para and a bit for the third and the completely SKIPPED the fourth because otherwise I couldnt have done Q5 on time. I have a really bad feeling about it i'm so scared I didnt pass. On the Q5 I spoke about how teenagers gravitate towards money and fame through social media and comply to fake standards and that in order to live a fullfilling life it doesnt matter about money or all the nonsense but what you do for other people and so on... and I tried using as much good stuff as possible like methapors, simple sentences, rq, trippling, metaphors, emotive language and cyclical structure. I wanted to put more time in Q5 because I know I would have just wasted time on the Q4 but now I'm regretting it because what if the examiner thinks the Q5 is bad and I end up doing really bad overall. Im so stressed. Can someone who knows what they are on about help me like an examiner or a grade 9 student. Thanks.

the concern is not necessarily the article itself, but rather the audience and what would capture their attention
