    Using 'I' in essays!

    From what I have heard from my english teacher, using 'I' in an exam is now becoming acceptable in essay's. My teacher went on to say it applies to Standard English essays, when they ask for an opinion from you. E.g. Discuss how the language features in 'Briar Rose' convey character...

    TRIALS -- Is it too late to start writing up notes?

    Thanks for your input Brontecat. So what I have gathered is that making your own notes is the best thing, but if you don't have the time, study somebody elses, or use theirs to make up your notes. And do past papers in preference to textbook questions/excel books (assuming you have already...

    Keywords

    I heard that you are only really assessed on the keywords in the highter marked questions (questions worth 6-8 marks). Is this true? Or is this mainly because they use the 2nd or 3rd level keywords in these questions, which people are likely to misinterprete? (e.g- They lose marks because they...

    Keywords

    I have always avoided looking into and studying the keywords which are frequently used in all short answer and long response questions. After looking into it, i found the huge list of the keywords that the Board of Studies use- Account- Account for: state reasons for, report on. Give an...

    Favourite type of video game

    What’s your favourite type of video game genre? At the moment, mine would have to be FPS’s, namely CoD. Although it may be hard, try to break it down to your number ‘1’ most favourite type of genre, or the one you play the most. Just to clear things up, I’ve inserted a few examples of each...

    Favourite music genre

    I don't have significant knowledge about Indietronica to make a judgement on it im sorry. Perhaps those with mixed genres can go with what you think is the genre that mainly lies behind it. Or you can just vote 'Other'.

    'I like you'

    Ok, well i guess i have a couple of options to say, if i want to hook up with her. Which would be the better choice? 1- "Cool. How about we have a coffee together so I can get to know you." 2- "Cool. Would you like my number so we can organise a date sometime." 3- "Cool. Well, to be honest, I...

    Favourite music genre

    If you have multiple answers, pick the one that you play the most, or are into now. If you are listening to sub-genres mostly, try to pick the answer that seems most appropriate. E.g- I would classify 'Electro', 'Techno' and 'Disco', all as sub-genres under "Dance music".

    'I like you'

    You can judge alot of a person within the first 5 seconds of talking with them. Just say shes has an high pitched voice, or an accent, or seems really overconfident etc. Any suggestions of what to say? Examples would be much appreciated, thanks :)

    'I like you'

    I was referring more to the reaction just after the moment when she says, 'I like you'. What is the best way to answer it? Do you just say something like 'OK, cool. Do you want my number?' Is this the best way to respond? Even then, what do you do straight after that? Do you just walk away...

    'I like you'

    Well here is a common situation. You’re an honest guy, who’s open for a relationship. You’re new to a school and within 2 weeks of settling in, a girl comes over to you and says, ‘I like you’. You have never talked to this girl before, and know nothing about her. She has pretty good looks, but...
