Why is everyone going on about a feature article, what if they make you write a letter or a reflection or a series of short paragraphs with a rationale talking about the different types of belonging?!?

What do we do then?

The last three years have been (years for belonging as AOS):

2011: "Compose a creative piece..."
2010: "Select one of the following quotations for a piece of imaginative writing..."
2009: "Drawing on the ideas in ONE of these quotations, construct an imaginative piece..."

So you can see all the last three years invites you to write some form of fictional text, the medium of your own choosing.

However, apparently there has been a new head of English at BOS, so this trend may not continue. But I doubt the new head would change the format much, seeing as she's new. But I'm purely speculating now.

If you rote learned only an essay, then good luck, you will need it.

You should make up the creative as soon as you walk into the room, otherwise it's not *REALLY* creative is it?

Good luck trying to get a better mark than people with prepared creatives...

Like I say to everyone, if it works for you, go for it.
