    URGENT: How many themes are required in a comparative study to get full marks?

    Deleted that paragraph - thank you, saved a lot of words too. Don't worry, I do explore context in depth in the other paragraphs ;)

    URGENT: How many themes are required in a comparative study to get full marks?

    FRANKENRUNNER: So I have a practice essay that's around 1200 words, I have a 40 minute exam tomorrow and I'm a lamentably slow writer. I have the role of nature, the dehumanisation of an unbridled pursuit of knowledge and the nature of being human as my three themes. If I only put the role of...

    The First Kiss

    First kiss was the classic Year 8 interschool disco scenario with the cringy 'so...wanna hook up?' before proceeding to violate my mouth in terribly slimy ways. Realising my panicked reaction, the boy apologised profusely before disappearing back into the sweaty pubescent crowd. I was turned off...

    How to start the Extension French course?

    I don't do OHS. My class has only me and another girl, the girl did her Accelerated Maths HSC a week ago so things have been mighty disjointed, only had my 2nd proper class today. We only just finished watching the film today and got started on exploring the three themes (Social class etc.) and...

    Accidentally didn't go to class for a period

    I've done the exact same thing a few times before, just get notes off a mate not a huge deal

    Study Patterns

    I try to pay full attention in all my classes for the whole day by taking notes, then I start my work after school at around 5pm. Then I write a prioritised list of what to do for the night with many breaks included, l do it then leave the library at 9pm. If I have extra stuff to finish off I do...

    Is it better to type or hand-write notes?

    I think you should be doing at least 10-20% of your notes in writing (or have one or two subjects with mostly written notes), with all timed practice essays written to keep your hand used to writing in exam conditions. I think writing does help in retaining information as well, it takes much...

    What are your strongest subjects?

    French>SOR II>English>Legal>Modern SOR II - the teachers mark my essays way too softly, I've consistently gotten 19/20 for each exam essay even at the beginning of prelim when I did shit all. Hopefully this trend continues and I don't eventually get fucked over in externals. French is the...

    Would you rather a 99.95 atar or $18000 and a 60 atar?

    99.95 ATAR for sure opens you up to almost every tertiary educational opportunity + scholarships (big money ones too), more choice in job prospects that can potentially get you much, much more than $18,000. If you gave me $18,000 at my age I would not spend that shit wisely

    Number of HSC language students falls to record low

    Of course I appreciate the skills learnt in Maths, and I know I'm biased in my opinion since I'm more attracted to the humanities anyway. I greatly admire people who do 4 unit Maths. Languages aren't for everyone. But I find that certain people seem to think the only problem solving skills a...

    Number of HSC language students falls to record low

    I believe there is an attitude that foreign languages are becoming irrelevant due to the perceived Anglicisation of global society. How often do you hear things like "everyone in Paris speaks English anyway" or "Japanese people love practicing their English with Americans!". While English is...

    Roll Call for any level of HSC French!

    ma famille d'accueil était justement comme ça quand je suis allée en France l'année dernière et par conséquent mon français s'est amélioré énormément. mais je dois te prévenir que c'était un défi, il faut que tu sois prête à parler en français pour toute la journée, avec chaque personne dont tu...

    Neuilly sa mère !

    La première fois que je l'ai vu, c'était sans sous-titres, mais la deuxième fois avec le reste de la classe on a mis les sous-titres en français, ce qui m'a aidé à comprendre certaines phrases que je n'avais pas relevées la première fois. Même si l'on dirait que Neuilly sa mère est...

    Neuilly sa mère !

    A thread for all thoughts on the French Extension 2014 film. Come on, 2014'ers! I know there are Frenchies amongst you, no need to be hiding :biggrin: Est-ce que tout le monde étudient ce film, ou est-ce qu'il y a d'autres textes que certaines écoles étudieront cette année ? Moi, j'ai déjà...
