Oh yeah, I forgot to add that I keep on having dreams where when I wake up, I get the feeling that the dream I just had was kind of like a sequel to a previous dream I had many nights ago. Then when I think about it more carefully, I realise I've never had another dream before that was in any...

I had this really random dream where my "uncle" threatened to jump off a building, which he did end up doing in the end. The only reason why I put "uncle" in inverted commas is because in the dream, I thought he was my uncle but in real life, I have no f***ing idea who that person is. He looked...

I've been watching Arthur ever since I was six or seven all the way up till now. It's seriously the best cartoon ever (apart from the Simpsons) and I still watch it on Youtube sometimes. I HATED the episode with that library card song since it was just a song with no dialogue, plot or...

Elena from Romania was probably my favourite. Somehow nobody seems to mention her. I was kind of disappointed to see that she finished near the bottom. Did the Norwegian guy who won last year break a violin string during his performance? I still think Dima Bilan (2008 winner) from Russia...

A thesis is a clear statement that is referring to/giving your opinion on the question. 1) Basically, you state your thesis which changes depending on what question you get asked, 2) then you write briefly about YOUR own understanding on the concept of belonging (taken from the rubric)...

You really don't have to worry. I know someone who got 20% for her half yearly maths exam (because she was really sick on that day or something) and still got a 94 (band 6) for her HSC. However, she did get nearly 90% for her trials (raw mark) so you do need to do well there in order to get a...

The most obvious one would be one's sense of affiliation with the landscape.

Once you get the concept, don't even bother doing that much homework questions since they're not really exam oriented and can be repetitive and useless. Just keep on doing LOTS AND LOTS of practice papers until you can complete one in half the time you get the HSC. That way you'll be able to...

Probably Chatswood. It's convenient, safe, lively, good location (close to city) and of higher socio-economic status compared to most other suburbs.

Apart from maths and continuers languages courses, there's really not much point studying that hard in year 11. As long as you don't fail you'll probably be OK. I also think year 11 is a good time to experiment with different exam techniques and hopefully you'll work out a good one before you...

I remembering doing a survey within my neighbourhood on environmental awareness. I included questions such as what types of heaters so they use, what form of transport they normally use, whether they turn off their electrical appliances when they're not using them, whether they recycle etc. It's...

I shouldn't need to feel that stressed since I don't need a very high ATAR to get into the course/s I'm planning to do. But somehow I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself anyway just for the sake of getting really good results so I do get stressed quite often. :cry:

You can get the Macquarie Revsion Guide for HSC Geography. The information there's easier to read and understand. But whatever you do, DO NOT buy the Excel Geography book. The information in there is useless (not really answering the syllabus dot points) and apart from practising some skills...

Alliteration- repetition of consonant sounds creates a musical effect which gives more emphasis on the idea being conveyed. Intertextuality- shaping the meaning of a text by using other texts. Also helps reinforce the idea being conveyed since it is being enriched by evidence from another text.

13, already completed 2 in year 11 (accelerated). Probably won't drop any.

It kind of depends on where you want to further your career. If you want to work in Hong Kong, Taiwan or other western countries, then you should probably choose traditional. But if you want to work in mainland China, then I insist you do simplified and there's absolutely no need for you to...

Truncated sentences just means short sentences, right? If it's a series of short sentences, it helps to create a sense of urgency. Only one truncated sentence kind of presents a view bluntly and directly which is used to reinforce the idea being communicated.

I remember doing EAR 1) Avalon Sand Dunes 2) Careel Bay Intertidal Wetlands UP 1) Sydney 2) Mexico City (for megacities) P&EA 1) Quay West Hotel 2) Sydney Aquarium

I think some good ones would be: -imagery (visual, kinesthetic, olfactory, gustatory, tactile)- e.g. vivid description of the landscape comments on one's attitude towards belonging. (are you studying Romulus My Father?) -symbolism -personification -metaphor + simile -allegory...

Well, to be exact, I completed HSC Geography last year (accelerated course). Which textbook are you using? The newer ones are quite colourful since they have more pictures but the old ones are quite dull. They used to put me to sleep.
