** LC IRISH Ordinary Level - Before and after discussion **

Anyone any idea about which story or email might come up?

Well there has not been 1 film and 1 poem that havent come up , so there is deffinetely a major chance of them coming up , when it come to the functional writing , what my teacher says relate it to a holiday or accident as long as you you relate it to the question youll get top marks as, holiday and accidents are the easiest write about !

I dropped to ordinary in the last week of school and I just need to know how long should e poetry answers generally be? Some of the lads in my school were saying only three or four lines is that true?

If so that's a relief coming from pages of higher level **** that didnt even make sense at the end

And the letter, is that just an address at the top, rattle off some things and sign off?

A full page and each poem because they will probably ask about the emotions, themes and weather you likes it or not. For the stories we might have to write a summary too which is about a page You write the address for the email or letter but not for the story

Hey,
Was just reading this thread My teacher has done 4 poems (I think) and we havnt looked at emotions,themes and weather ! Ahhhh - what will I do ?

He or she spelled weather wrong it themes emotions and whether or not you like the poem , just a few line answers and quote from poem but not too much as you will loose mark i you quote the stanza !

Sorry haha I was like weather ?!?

Haha sorry Yes, make sure to quote from the poems and just a few lines about each. You can use the same information for most of the answers

I was doing HL until the mocks and failed so I dropped to pass, my teacher has to be the worse teacher ever! My class was a mixed class but most should have been doing pass but she spent her time giving bad notes to HL people and forgot about the pass people so I havent done Irish since the JC and got a B I think so if anyone would like to help mainly for Paper 1 because she didnt give me like anything for the blogs and what not and I have never done a listening for pass either...

Im confused how many stories come up?

Hey, so the Irish exam is Monday and i'm absolutely ****ting bricks and I'm thinking about doing the pass paper. I got 47% in the higher level pre, and that was knowing what essay, pro and poem was coming up! I'm not even going to go near the An Trial question simply because i don't know any of it and it's way too late to go studying it now. Is any one here in a similar situation? What are the odds of getting an A if i moved to pass? Would i be better off just sticking to honors? Help would be appreciated!!

Well it really depends on how many points you're looking for and how many other pass subjects you already do. I dropped to pass Irish in October because I was doing all honours and didn't want to waste time on my worst subject.. Honestly, even if you got 10% in the higher level pre, I would say you'd get at least a B1 in the pass Irish tomorrow. Actually **** easy for people who have done honours for the majority of the leaving. I'm just studying maths today and am sort of expecting a B2 in Irish by studying just before the exam tomorrow.

what do you need to know for letter?

........................your name
........................your address
........................date
....their name
....their address

Pól, a chara,


blah blah blah

endling? how do you end it?

And is this layout correct?

im copying that word for word.....


Anyone else just looking to pass this? My oral was grand so with that, listening, story/letter and reading comps - Im pretty confident!

Im not gonna look at poems or stories at all I dont think, rather concentrate on other subjects
