Guys is it ok if I wait until tomorrow or something, as I'm feeling a bit sick now-I came home from school early today:( Tomorrow maybe? So Sorry! I'll do it though, I've been meaning to put up a thread of Irish phrases for a good while now! They would have been very handy for me last year!:)

Np! Thanks for helping us.

I'm after looking at the charter and about talking about papers, this is what is said!

Exam papers are not to be posted. This includes any exam paper from the current year, including "mocks". No hints, either. Don't ask and don't tell.

It doesn't say we cannot discuss the topic as long as we don't post hints or scans of the paper.

So, has everyone completed their Aurals in HL Irish? We had one with Sinead Níc Neill as the chead cainteoir. We did them today and they were pretty handy. I think I made a small mess of the chead cainteoir, making a hash of áit chónaithe's spelling and guessing at the "mention two points" in the announcement part .(I don't think that this gives away anything really. As soon as the paper is in front of you, you will see these questions and reading this still won't allow you to focus study on anyone aspect because these are both open questions with any possible answer... more or less!)

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the rest of it.

I shall have the ice prepared for when I come home tomorrow.Today our teacher told us that the drama essay is one that we've already done( she better not be fooling us) so at least I can be prepared for that.

Music wasn't as bad as I was expecting at all.I'm fairly sure that that's one B grade guaranteed already:)

I would at least spoiler that if it is an answer Jack.

Personally I will not be cheating but I would like to talk about the mock after I've done it.

There isn't any answers there though

all I mentioned very vaguely and without any info was what the question was without going to any detail that could be used to prepare for it...? No answers! Sinead nic neill is the cainteoirs name and is given at the top of the question, it isn't an answer!

suitcasepink · 03-02-2010 09:13PM

I have both Irish papers tomorrow, I guess Im most worried about not being able to understand whats being asked of me, which is very vague.. but =P Im not too worried about the new grammer question, I think I know my verbs and that well

padocon · 03-02-2010 09:48PM

I am a bit ify about the Home Ec long questions as I have not had much practice.

Laauren · 03-02-2010 10:10PM

Mine started today with the two english papers..:(
It wasnt too bad i just hope i passed

..
I found paper 2 really hard as english isnt a good subject for me..
I want to keep on higher level so i guess ill just have to wait for the results:rolleyes:

WanderingSoul · 03-02-2010 10:28PM

Ah don't worry about it, you'll be grand.I don't do it but one of my friends does and was totally stressed about it because she hadn't really studied but she said it was fairly grand.

I think its awesome you do home ec... As a guy, I myself won't have the balls to do it. Pretty class by you! In my school, if a guy did home ec he'd get slagged! One guy did do it but no one slagged him because he's, uh, "special".

Ah. So I guess you're in a mixed school?

Luno · 03-02-2010 10:58PM

Boys who do home ec is a bit strange, then loads of girls do woodwork which is the same thing but no one says anything?

no-one would say anything to a girl doing woodwork/metalwork but a guy doing home ec is a different story. In my school it is still seen as a girls-only subject.

Suppose there just isnt the interest though?
One girl kept on metalwork in my school but thats because she loves it!

Home Ec. is very popular among boys in our school, we even run an advanced cooking course after school which they have to go through a hard-fought interview process to get accepted on.
Some of our best woodworkers are girls.
We don't really have subjects that are seen as boy's ones and girl's ones.
It's funny how things are different in different schools.

WanderingSoul · 04-02-2010 12:38AM

I wouldn't really know as I go to an all girls school.

Yea, Home Ec is a pretty easy subject I think, it also has a bit of what you cover in science and the practical is worth about 60%.
And the slagging is only fun slagging (well for me) and only lasted for like a week.

There was a few boys doing it in my school but they changed subjects. I have a friend in a mixed town school with loads of boys in the year doing Home Ec and similarly I have a cousin in an all boys school and there was a class of boys doing Home Ec for LC

What is so strange? It is a subject like any other.

I think certain subjects are stereotyped wrongly.

suitcasepink · 04-02-2010 12:27PM

I just had Irish paper 1, I actually loved it!! The grammer was a tense I knew well, the reading comprehension was pretty easy and one of the essay titles you could write just about anything!
Only thing the aural was mainly notheren accents, could barely understand them!
Overall I

paper 1!

padocon · 04-02-2010 05:31PM

I thought Home Ec was a little harder than I expected.
Also Religion was pretty challenging.
