We as well got back our long awaited English results. I was actually quite surprised that I got an A since this was my first time doing the exam, but I was still not quite happy with what I wrote. Even during the exam I did not like what I was writing because I felt like I wasn't really engaging to the examiner and at times felt like I was listing most stuff. Also due to the time I rushed through the exam leaving behind careless punctuation and grammar which really ticked me off. I know that I can do better than this which is why I look forward to focusing more into our exam techniques after the CA. For me I have to work on a but of British culture as it is a British exam and try to pick up the different slangs. I plan on doing this by going through the exam books then really focusing when we learn the techniques in class.

Reflection #4
This week we started to get more into the habit of writing things that are familiar to us in such a way that they become unfamiliar. This way it engages the audience and makes them think. I found this very interesting for me and I really enjoy writing things like this as I get to be more creative and play more with my words. This way we are more prepared for what to write in our CA which is coming up next week!

Good reflection Azzah. You can try and Google some teen sites based in the UK which will give you a better idea of that culture. However, using inference and deduction in the exam should also help so do try to think outside the box when approaching texts, by asking yourself could there possibly be any other interpretation that is not so obvious.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed that you focused on your skills rather than just your grade because the latter is not the most important thing. Good to see such determination in your learning but you can also afford to be pleased with your result - it is very good!
