how we feeling for thursday?

how we feeling for thursday?

feeling decent for text analysis, not sure about CLA just hope we get a decent speaking question since im not confident on written CLA

Not good lol meanings and representations is always so hit or miss

i agree, i hope it isnt speech because it hasnt really been a speech text yet.....

I think a speech would be okay, cos we automatically would go boom that’s persuasion and pronouns are always stunning to analyse in speeches

how so would it be persuasion though? i guess its dependant on the text

Guess so, but speeches are highly likely to be persuasion from what I’ve seen (esp in historical ones) and it’s usually really simple to tell what it is if not persuasion

For the CLD section it possible for them to put two spoken extracts on or two written extracts on because i know nothing on written

i'm hoping it will be one transcript for spoken, and one written extract for writing, but i'm worried that they might put a transcript for reading - seems unlikely since there have been no past papers on it but i'm paranoid bc i also know nothing about writing!

Exactly i was hoping they had to do one on speaking but after reading the spec they could put writing and reading on instead

yeah literally - all the spec says is that it could be one of the three - so im just gonna revise writing for the next few days just incase!

Does writing include Halliday and people like that?

i have a sheet on writing theorists i can send u if u want?

Thank youu, what do you want to send it me on?
