Do I need quotes for Dúnmharú ar an Dart? I didn't use any in the pre and I got an A so I'm guessing not? :L

liamtimdusty

Yeah i want to know if we need quotes for the poetry and prós?
And how long does the letter and debate have to be? ( Roughly)

Cheers

I don't use quotes either and I got full marks in that section. I just keep saying what was happening and why like referring to it so it's the same thing essentially.

If you haven't covered it in class don't do it. You need a lot of vocab if you don't know it it's too late.. Stories are way easier anyway!

Desire.

You're supposed to use quotes for the poetry, but there's no need for the prós. If you're grand without them, fair enough.

I love Subh Milis!

Cakes.

I quote like the whole poem in the poetry but not for the story.

rorrissey

I have to relearn my poems quickly before the exam. I'll just look over Imeagla and Colm. Go n-éiri libh.

Desire.

I need to learn a second Prós... Ag Dul Siar doesn't cover that much.

I think pretty much the whole country is doing An tÁdh That's all I'm going in with, anyway. It's got sadness, death, friendship, childhood and love. That's all I need

TheRedDevil10

unfortunately i only have 1 pros - An tAdh and 2 poems - An Cnagaire and Jewels

My poem is about a guy getting heckled by a group of ne-er-do-wells from the city! Seriously, Irish must just be a really depressing language.

Yeah. Our teacher gave us the perfect essay for it, but I can't find it anywhere

DarkEagleEye

Yeah our teacher gave a sample answer on reiteog mharfach for bron, learning it now. I just learning what to say in english then I can translate. Them quotes are a bitch tho:pac:

hello.hello

is anyone doing
dioltas an madra rua for pros
or
an tozone for poetry i hope they come up thats alli know

shadowninty

Letter went quite well
Did the Disco story
Learned Prós went ok too
Everything else went crap
Reckon I got 55-60% in that paper

TheRedDevil10

epic paper gra came up on both pros and poem, cudnt b happier. Letter on going to a disco was lethal

FatRat

Easy Easy Easy.

I reckon I got close to 100% in paper 1. Paper 2 was probably a small bit worse by me. Probably got around 90%
Either way, an A no bother, I'd say. Unless I find out I did something completeley wrong :cool:

buyer95

Omg it was soo much easier that I thought it would be! The unseen was 10 times easier than in the pres for both the poetry and prose. I could actually understand what was happening in both. Also both my themes came up! bron for an t-adh and gra for luichin sa scoil! Only 2 i knew well.

Also letter wasnt too bad with the disco

Lucan Bohs

Harder than p1 but still really happy

My studied pros and poem came up

I did the youth club letter, had to make it up on the spot but I think I gave it a reasonable attempt :cool:

hello.hello

my pros and poemws studied went deadly
+ my letter on the disco was perfect!! i reckon a well earned C!:D:D:D

to bad p1 didnt go well

Did you do Roinn 5 in paper 1?

buyer95

I got 66% in the pres and did absolutely awful on paper 2 but paper 2 was so much easier today! I think I might have bumped my grade up to a b(fingers crossed)

cantanstrophe

Well, that was grand. Hoping Maths Paper 2 is as good :pac:

What about the postcard on the other side of the letter?

did you even do the test? If you did then you'd know that the letter is in paper 2.

:cool:

Desire.

That was grand too!

Unseen Pró - Good. Did Áthas for Ag Dul Siar.

Unseen Poetry - Simple. Brón for Subh Milis.

Letter - Savage! I did the disco one.

Unseen Prós - This was fairly simple. I did 1 and 2 in part A, and question 2 from B.

Unseen Poetry - I didn't do too well on this section (didn't have the vocab). I did question 3 in part A, and questions 1 and 2 in part B.

Overall, delighted with Irish. Guaranteed a B! :pac:

Way to put a dampner on or high spirits. Were stressed junior cert students, the last thing we need is people telling us that something we found ok will be marked hard!

Slow Show

I haven't read through any of this yet nor seen any reactions but I just have to say one thing.

Oh Irish, you sexy beast of a language/subject.

Lockey123

Does anyone know the word for shift in irish?;)
I struggled to write about the disco without it

If ye were that stressed ye wouldn't be on this talking about today's exams and ye would be studying for tomorrow. It's the truth...the easier the exam is and the more likely you think you are to have gotten an A the harder the exam will be marked and you might not get what you had thought.

No offense, but you sound like an 8 year old.
