lol I forgot too. I don't think they'd take away marks though. As if we're gonna remember something so insignificant.

Lolol, i remembered !

My title - 1 minute 1 second.
Original isn't it ?


And my story was so...everywhere.
:L
Lee waiting for phone - Flashes back for 5 minutes, but remembers everything that happened the whole day, went to audition for singing/dancing. Made it. Became the next Big Bang.

Yes i know. Weird.

My sentence was the "Kathy came home clutching her prize".

It was basically about her remembering her day: She went to a friend's birthday party and won a competition on guessing how many jelly beans there were in a jar. She won the jar of jelly beans and she also won a little pet turtle which she names Pebbles. She's happy because she always wanted a pet!

Pretty childish but, I didn't have all day to think about it!

One weird thing: the sentence I chose was the one of her clutching her "prize" - not "prizes". My story was that she won the jar of jelly beans AND a baby turtle. I probably lost marks for that. I reckon I might have also lost marks because I went back in time, and I stuffed up my paragraph structure (at first I made them with spaces, then I started doing them with the dents). And overall it was really just a too plain story.

Was it out of 20? Whatever it was out of, I probably got half or likely less than half of what it's out of.

SO STUFFED UP THE ENTIRE SC!!!

I did mine on how things on the street are more apparent at night.

lol I learnt from tutor to appeal to the marker's sense of sympathy so I wrote about a lonely man on a desolate st at night. Full description and imagery. lol tried stuffing in similes, metaphors, etc during the last 3 minutes of the exam.

Used tactile and olfactory imagery. Pretty confident i'll get at least 18.

The english paper was easy and the writing tasks were a piece of cake. Really wishing my work gets selected to be the "exemplary samples".

 

[Fezzyy]

Damn! - I forgot to put in the "good stuff" like metaphors and similes!

SO didn't do well in that story...

Hehe. Kathy came home clutching her prize - Nobel prize >.< - felt good to write about it at the time but feels lamey now..

 

[Fezzyy]

I know, right! When you're writing an answer you feel so good feeling that you're filling up all the lines, attempting the question, feeling smart, etc, but when you look back at it now you're like - Man, this would have been a better response! Blah blahh

HAHAHA I know where you got that title from
Epik High fan
...
Unless it was actually your idea?

 

[pwoh]

Crap I have no title O_O; And I had plenty of time left...damn.

 

[suzlee]

The idea of a title just never came to me

If they want a title they should ask for one!!! Why perform a voluntary service???

 

[Paradox1345]

I don't think a title is necessary. It probably won't cost you any marks.

Ye /agree.

I'm pretty sure in the "You will be assessed on:", it did not mention "the ability to construct an appropriate title."

[Crazynesss]

What? So few people chose Kathy!! She was the first choice and the least amount of people did her. Weird.

I chose Lee's phone.

Basically this guy's waiting on a call from the FBI for a mission.

The key is the way you use sophisticated language and English techniques, I reckon.
