Love English Adv Hate English Ext 1 Like English Ext 2 I think..it really depends on your teacher and the texts you do.

Not every single education system has the basis of assessments and exams. By the logic that some people are "better at exams", imagine if you only had to do exams at the end of the term, you'd have the whole term to practice writing exams instead of spending your time doing assessments....like...

There's nothing wrong with bandwagonism, it's just wanky elitism by the "real fans", there's no right way or point to become interested in something. There's no need (or enough time in the day) to become an expert on every bit of pop culture, or feel bad because you pick and choose the fruit...

No it isn't.

Okay okay, forgive me, I wasn't attempting to create some negative rant as a means of letting me say how horrible I think this year is etc. (though for some I guess it would be), - For me the HSC is challenging but I like school fine. But the actual system of it all; we spent all this time in...

I've heard "rat race", "stressful" as the main descriptions. But seriously, I understand we need to have a final year system to "sum up" our education, gain Uni admission etc., but it seems to me like it's more like "waste time waste time waste time all of schooling life - the countless hours we...

Uh I hate it when the media does stories like this. People who think for themselves DON'T take this article as a means of concern...nor majority of youth stories covered by the Nine network. Don't these journos realise they are nothing to us because we know their stories have little validity?

Okay, for unsure "which subjects scales better", go to SAM and type in your current subjects and say you score 80/100 for all of them. Then change English to 100/100 and "submit". This isn't to go ohh i got these marks, its so you can compare if you did better in this subject would your UAI be...

2+2=5 is my personal interpretation. I won't have maths telling me what to think and why, I'll make up my own mind on the basis of my values and experiences.

I hate 'Christmassy' things. 25th December is my Birthday, what a rip off..

I like Year 12, the assessments don't bother me, I just do them really casually a few weeks before they are due and show them to my teachers so they are good quality. It's easy. Studying is fine, Year 12 is good, besides, it had to happen sometime? Ancient Speech, Eng Adv Critical Essay, Eng...

Yeah, my sister did it for her HSC too so I read it a few years ago when she studied it. Now I just finished reading it for the 3rd time, seriously, everytime you read it, it gets easier to comprehend...but I've always liked it, it's very beautiful...my friends hate it.

Half my friends who didn't get it were complaining about not getting it. One of them said she should because her mum was a 'single parent'...but her dad hasn't left or is deceased, he's overseas for work..wtf. Fuck some people are stupid sometimes. Another one said they are going to ask their...

Hey, I'm doing it too.. Read the 'Advanced English' Excel book chapter on it, it'll help you understand it better if you're confused...As for belonging, well, I assumed we all did that last term as its the AOS. Are you sure you're doing 'belonging'? Or am I completely wrong :S

I believe that Advanced students shouldn't even considering using teen popular fiction, you're supposed to be proving how suave you are with literature so then why ram some 14 year old fantasy novel down an English teachers throat. EVERYTHING relates to belonging. Choose something clever!

It's a mystery, not even the Board of Studies really knows...

In the Skin of a Lion is so good, it's one of my favourite books, but everyone in my class is a little freaked out by it because they haven't read it before. If this is you, then read the Excel guide to In the Skin of a Lion, it's in the Advanced English textbook, it's a good starting point if...

I'm doing mine on something like Poor Little Rich Girl- why the programs aimed at teenagers take a pretty rich girls life and destroy it... Do they realise we're not stupid, not matter how dramatic they try to make these 'IT GIRLS' lives, I'd still rather be the one driving the Mercedes to...

John Howard when I was in Year 5, though I walked away because I wasn't as naive as my class mates. Triple J's the Doctor shook my hand. I've been to ABC studios when they're were filming Lateline...are they celebrities?...and I saw Playschool being filmed.
