    Trí bliain ó shin a tharla sé, ach tá cuimhne an lae sin, chomh soiléir sin i m’intinn is go dtabhar tú an leabhar gur tharla sé inné.
    Lá amháin , bhí mé sa bhaile i m'aonair ag féachaint ar an teilifís. Mhothaigh mé sceitimíní áthas mar beidh cóisir agam sa bhaile an tráthnóna chugainn. Smaoinigh mé go mbeadh oíche go híontach agam. Bhí a lán rudaí le dhéanamh agam. Rinne mé cúpla cheapairí agus bheartaigh mé sceallóga chun í a coiscreach. Chuir mé iad sa domhainfhriochtóir agus las mé an gas.
    Tháinig mo chairde do mo theach agus thosaíomar ag ceiliúradh. Gan a thoille moille, smaoinigh mé nach raibh aon deochanna cosúil le oráiste agus liomanáide, sa cóisir. Bhain geit uafasach orm. D’fhág mé mo theach agus rith mé trasna an bhóthair. Ní fhaca mé ná ní chuala mé an charr ag teacht. Bhuail an charr liom. Thit mé i cnap ar an talamh. Cheap mé go bhris mé mo chos. Bhí mé i pian mhór.
    Sceart mé ar bharr mo bhéil. Buíochas le Dia, chuala Liam mé agus bhrostaigh sé ar mo sábháil. Ghlaoigh sé na seirbhisí éigeandála. Shroich siad ar an suíomh le luas lasrach. Chuir siad mé san otharcharr agus thog siad dom chuig an ospidéal.
    Lá arna mhárach, dhúisigh mé san ospidéal agus bhí plástar mór ar mo cos. Tháinig mo thuismitheoirí agus thug siad idir na muice is na madraí dom. Dúirt go raibh an teach loite tar éis an cóisir, is léir nach chuaigh daoine eile abhaile. Mar a deir an seanfhocal “Is fearr an tsláinte ná an táinte”

    Approx. 1.5 A4 pages.

    Remember in the Scéal they examiner wants to see your level of Irish not necessarily the story. I've used 32 verbs, 4 tenses and a seanfhocal. Spelling and Grammar should be correct. Should a general question on an eachtra come-up this should get 45-50 marks depending on the examiner.

    Great eachtra. Are you sure that will get you 45-50 marks. Have you used that in an exam before.

    Ok thanks the story is great. Best of luck becoming a teacher. Any tips on the mock exam for irish?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 49 EliteC


    Mocks are the mocks. I got 54% in my JC mocks and got an A in the Junior Cert.
    Essay and Letter are where you gain marks. Use as many verbs as you can and try not to use tá and bhí too often. Vary your tenses and use the Modh Choinnealach.

    For Pros and Filíocht don't summarise as it tends to turn examiner's off. Answer the question asked.(See example below).

    For emotions and themes, point out where they can be seen in the poem/pros. It shows the examiner you understood the question and can form a structured answer.

    Elite C this is a great eachtra, I hope you don't mind but I've corrected a few phrases that will drop marks, especially the grammar ones. I'm presuming this is HL so all the little mistakes will add up. I can't put fada's into it sorry.

    Really? Because here you say you're studying for your Leaving Cert and that you want to do accounting in college. Given that I'm married to an Irish teacher who has, like the poster above, noted that what you posted earlier is riddled with errors, it's clear that you're misleading people badly here. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't siteban you for trolling.

    trolling: make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them: (Oxford English Dictionary)

    Considering my response was not offensive or provocation and did not upset or elicit an angry response, there is clearly no evidence of trolling. Hence, making you question quite irrelevant.

    Also fixed the above problem.

    Given your edit above, I'm in no doubt that you're trolling. And my tolerance for trolls is pretty low so I'm also fixing the above problem.

    Is this 100% story 100% grammatically right with no spelling errors or anything now? Just want to be sure.

    Is this 100% story 100% grammatically right with no spelling errors or anything now? Just want to be sure.

    I would also change "go dtabhar me" to "go dtabharfainn" and there's a "mo" somewhere where the next word needs a h. (Sorry, I'm on my phone can't see the story as I'm typing!) Then it is correct, just remember that it must relate to the title given to you in the exam. For example if it began with I was at a match, change the beginning slightly to suit. This is important.

    For the record I am a qualified Irish teacher with ten years experience. Best of luck to you.
