Reply 4

Reply 5

Transactional writing was really gooddd!

Reply 6

I didn't manage to finish 7b (wrote 1 page) and 6 (i wrote 2 pages) because I started with the 40 marker... but ah, well. I will be overjoyed with a meagre 7... i was hoping for a 9 tho... and I practiced soooo much... and I flunked my other subjects 💀💀💀

It was meant to be my saving grace 🥲🥲🥲. Paper 1 wasnt great- I didnt complete the creative writing that great.

Anyway I loved the fact that text 1 was about hurricanes. My internal monologue transformed into a radio that started belting out: "IN tHe EyE of tHe hUriccAne, THere is QUIeT... for JUsT a mOment.... a yellow sky..." (Hamilton)

I think it went really well - 7b was a bit hard but rest was good

Everything was good but article about why public transport should be open even in extreme weather is kinda weird icl, nevertheless I cooked

Reply 9

I think everything other than the transactional was good. The public transport question was a weird ibsr. I think i did decent hopefully... How did everyone else find it?
