So, what are the changes to the Irish?

Gentlemanne

Doing paper 1 tommorrow and paper 2 the day after.

I do not want specifics obviously, just what questions there will be.

I'm not sure what poems to do yet, but I'm doing dunmharu ar an dart

Closed ac

Cluaisthuiscint now worth 40 marks rather than 100.

2 leamhthuiscints, 20 marks each.

Tenses & grammar question for 20 marks - change a passage from, e.g. past to future & fill in the blanks.

No comhra anymore.

Paper 2 layout is the same I think?

Gentlemanne

Great, thanks.

Not looking forward to two hours irish though

Alright, for paper 2 I need to do a letter, write about a theme or emotion from a poem and write about a theme or emotion from the book I studied?

Am I missing anything? I have to go over everything carefully because I did bad in paper.. :<

Blue is right. Here is the layout of Paper 2 (I have mine in front of me):

Roinn 1 - Prós Liteartha

Ceist 1 - This includes questions on a given (unseen) piece (basically a comprehension). For the given or unseen piece the questions work the same way as they did in Paper 1: you have to answer 1Q in Section A (Buntuiscint), 1Q in Section B (Léirthuiscint Ghinearálta) and the third question from either section.

Ceist 2 - This is, as you mentioned earlier, where you write about a theme or emotion about a short story, novel or drama that you studied in Irish.

Roinn 2 - Filíocht

Ceist 3 - This is the same as ceist 1 except you are given two poems instead of a story comprehension. Question requirments are the same (1Q from A, 1Q from B & 1Q from either).

Ceist 4 - This is the same as ceist 2 except you have to write about a poem.

Roinn 3 - Litir

Ceist 5 - Pick from 3 choices and write a letter.
