I was too lazy to reply to this yesterday. :P Basically for the French oral you just talk for 15 minutes, and then you have the option of bringing in a document to kill a couple of minutes too. It can be a photo/article/project etc, but the main thing is you're well able to answer any questions that may be asked on it. Very useful if you feel you might need help in bringing up your marks, and it's good for getting rid of nerves too 'cause it's something you're guaranteed to be asked!

Got 35% out of the 40% in my Irish oral. I'm actually delighted! It's pass, but I'm still happy. Got the highest in the class.
Everything else hasn't exactly been stellar.
42% in HL business. My teacher is not impressed at all!
44% in Eng P2, all I have so far. Thought I would have gotten so much better since I thought my Hamlet and poetry were really good.
80% in Geography. Really happy.
62% in Biology. Not happy at all since I consider it my best subject.
76% in maths P2. Very happy there.
That's all I have so far, should get the rest tomorrow/next week. :P0 -
Guys, I spent two hours today on my French document. I decided to bring in a picture of the scene in HP&THBP where Snape kills Dumbledore. I've written a general summary of why I brought that picture in and what it means to me, a detailed description of the picture and its background (like why Snape killed him), a description of the personality of both Snape and Dumbledores' characters, why I like Harry Potter, a description of the acting and how the actors were brilliant and how they made the scene so powerful.
Does anyone else have any ideas of questions?

Did you have DEB Papers? I'm just wondering were yours sent away? We had mainly all DEB (Except Business HL and LCVP) and there's no sign of any papers coming back at all! We started our mocks 22 days ago (3 weeks and a day) with English Paper I, had English Paper II this day 3 weeks and no sign of any papers!Got 35% out of the 40% in my Irish oral.

Yeah we had all DEB papers, but we never sent them away, our teachers corrected them, so I can't help you, sorry.

Seriously though, I might get great marks but not the best. Got Irish back today 86%. 97% Essay, boom! College standard. Come to studied material and that drags my grade right downnnn. So study that shít and get an A1!
So on that note I'm going to be less lazy, do my homework and once I get this massive backlog of undone work done over the next couple of weeks I will study!A little
You heard it first here.
This is the new me.
I will earn my points:D0 -

Looks like you've loads there, they might just ask you more about movies, or if you've read the books or something. Seeing as it's fictional (sadly) :pac: I doubt they'd ask you about crime in general or anything. :Prandylonghorn wrote: »Jaysus, the amount of OTT hate in the comments.
Ok, I'd have sympathy for the Supermacs staff who had to clean up after them, but I don't see anyone getting killed, anyone getting hit, anything much indeed but over-excited youngsters acting the eejit.
I've seen much worse in that Supermac's in my time, and often from "respectable" members of the local Galway community who were a lot older and more "mature" than that lot.
Losing their false dream of being property multi-millionaires with ever-lasting money to burn has really turned so many Irish into right-wing grumpy tightarses!
I didn't get a chance to look at any comments, one glance at the like/dislike bar said it all though!0 -

Do you think is it a good idea for a document or is it too broad?Looks like you've loads there, they might just ask you more about movies, or if you've read the books or something. Seeing as it's fictional (sadly) :pac: I doubt they'd ask you about crime in general or anything. :P
Maybe they'd ask something like how does it relate to the real world, like with 'witchcraft' laws in Africa and ****, or would that be too advanced?0 -

Yeah it's pretty unique I think, and it seems nice and specific. I seriously doubt they'd ask you that, but on the off chance that you're asked something horrible you can always say I don't know and just move on with the conversation! You could even learn how to say "oh I hadn't thought of that" which would sound better than "I don't know, leave me alone!!" :P 0 -

I'm surprised you haven't included a detailed description of Harry's wand in there somewhere!Coeurdepirate wrote: »Do you think is it a good idea for a document or is it too broad?

Srsly, witchcraft laws in Africa etc. seems way over the top.
Would you like to attend Hogwarts? Why?
Which character do you identify with? Why?
That kind of thing sounds more likely.0 -
