We did Alililiu Bop Siúáidí for our prose. As far as I know, it covers love, anger, sadness, and sort of covers city life. Would that be enough?
For the scéal, we've learnt off a couple of stories, but the one I know well is about a fire at a disco. (Setting can be changed to literally anywhere.) Should I be ok with just that one or is there another topic that could come up? And is there any chance of the conditional tense coming up for the changing verb tenses part. I'm very much hoping there's not as we only covered it last week...
For geography, our teacher reccommended studying farming as a system, over-fishing, tourism and bogs. She also said there'll be something on climate but it could form part of tourism.
I kind of have a feeling that Conditional is coming up on Irish. I think it was past and future that came up the last two years and I just think that it would be a little too obvious if the present came up..
But don't worry about it. People have some big thing about the Modh Coinniolach but it's really not that much different than any other tense 0 -

Thanks a lot. I'll make sure to look over it. You're probably right, t'would be nice, but a tad obvious if the present tense came up.

Well my maths teacher reckons the equiangular triangles 1 and the 1 about a diagonal bisecting the area of a parallelogram. He's usually right...apparently
does equiangular triangles mean all angles add up to 180 or that "if two triangles are equi.... the lenghts of the corosponding sides are in proportion?" thanks 0 -

any predictions for english (HL)?
any little predictions would help a lot.
It's impossible to predict Junior Cert English. At this stage just make sure you have a good knowledge of your poems, prose and drama.0 -

For Long Questions (sec 2), the following may come up:
Rivers, Climate and Tourism, Population, Urban Geography, Primary Activities(Fishing and Farming), Secondary Act.(Location, Industry) Tertiary Act.(Tourism and Aid), Poor and Rich World.
For the map Q, there is a great chance for a sketch map of O.S. map to come up. Aerial Photo came up the last two years.
There is also a likely chance for a rock question and an acid rain Q.
Anyway, it's all predictions.
Best of Luck

well lads, does anyone think that cairdeas might come up in the pros section of the irish paper2? we only got a proper teacher this year and so had very little time to cover things, and we only covered this theme and loyalty
, also we only got to properly cover the theme of love and family life in the poem " an teilifis" , for the filiocht, does anyone know what the odds are of that coming up? ! any advice would be greatly appreciated ! 0 -
im dead nervous for english.
my teacher barely gave us any notes and we just watch films
now im just gonna make poetry notes for:
The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost ( life, choices)
Dulce et decorum est - Wilfred Owen (war)
He wishes for the cloths of heaven AND When you are old -W.B Yeats (love + poet)
will those poems be okay for me to survive the poem section for the JC?

Prose:
Cairdeas (friendship) last came up in 2009. There is a good chance it will be there this year.
Loyalty, I think this is dílseacht (correct me if I'm wrong) has never come up, it s unlikely to be honest. However, love (similar to loyalty) comes up most years.
Poetry:
Love comes up ALMOST every year. It SHOULD be there this year, I hope it is!
Your back-up "family life" usually only comes up in the prose section (rarely, if ever in the poetry). I would recommend learning something different to this.
Hope this helps.0 -

You really should do more than three. You will be lucky if you have one of the options in the exam to write about if you limit the poetry so much.
Also, if a question on a poet comes up, you most certainly will not be able to answer that as you don't have more than one poem done by any one poet.
I'd say learn a few more poems, to be safe.0 -

You should really do more than 1 poem by the same poet
so if a question comes up about the comparison of the poems you can give a good answer! Im doing midterm break and Digging by Seamus Heaney 0 -

Hey guys!
I'm really nervous for English ...
I was wondering if your teachers say anything about predictions like what type of questions will come up for studied drama and poetry? do you think there will be theme/incident/character type questions?
and does anybody have any predictions for the personal writing essay?
and im not quite sure how to study for the functional writing... im trying to learn of a movie or book review though...so i'll just see how that turns out 0 -

Our teacher said you can't predict anything, you have to know everything

With nearly two days left, the paranoia is setting in. :P Cue irrational doubts about the abilities of calculator batteries, frantic searches for notes already in your hand, pens in your mouth etc, conspiracy theories about ink level indicators in pens, backup solar calculator in bag that may or may not work in the slightly overcast exam hall , frantic checking of boards.ie for predictions, bringing in your own T-square/desk/class room, and generally being a nervous wreck.
Avoid people like me on the day. They'll wreck your confidence, and in the short time you have in the exam, it could throw you sufficiently.
On another note, what's everyone doing in the two hour gap between the exams? I think I'll pop out for lunch and then just study quotes/ past papers for 20 minutes or so to get me in the mood :P0 -
