    I said there is a lot to be pessimistic about but then said there were reasons to be happy (friends, sports, drink! technological advances and the future!) hope it was good, I'd say everybody this was writing most of the stuff off the cuff, there was nothing you could really of had prepared.

    I said that we have facilities such as the O2 to see concerts in and that college fees are lower in Ireland than the US for the first written piece. Then in the concert opinion piece I said concerts are a waste of money and that college fees in Ireland are high. :o

    The paper was nice but the second comprehension was very hard. I'm sure I answered everything wrong in it. The listening didn't go great for me either, but I'm crap at listening in general so I expected that.

    I thought the paper was lovely! I know I got two in the listening wrong; the only about the weather and the man speeding with the frozen food. I have no idea why but I said he left food cooking in the over :confused:

    I did all of the essays bar two, because I had so much time left over, hoefully they won't dock me for that :/

    But it really was a lovely paper :)

    That's not serious. Depending on how neat your writing is, the examiner might not even notice it.

    I think you lose one mark for every grammar/spelling mistake. Well, according to my teacher anyway.

    Paper kind of threw me at first because I was expecting harder topics, not all that 'Why is Ireland lovely?' stuff :p
    No idea if I got my A but I thought it was fine, for the sports programmes thing I said people spend too much time watching sports when they should be playing them and I'm slightly afraid it strayed a bit but we'll see. Comprehensions were beaut, aural was fine but I literally couldn't hear it at times

    Nice first comprehension, second comprehension was balls, was grand with the Reason to be Happy and Euro 2012 essays, 'eh' with the Protests one, diary wasn't great and aural was crap.

    I'm going to look like such a pleib though, I talked about how we were lucky to experience something as amazing as the Olympics in that first essay and then in the Euro 2012 one I said that sports events should be abolished. :pac:

    Does anyone know if they ask for one right answer and you give one right and one wrong do you get 0m in ordinary level or is that just higher?

    Ah that French did me ok I think! My Oral might bring me down a bit but *hopefully* got a b2 or a b3 :rolleyes: I just have niggling doubts that it could all be wrong even though i was happy enough.

    Q1A I wrote stuff about how the youth of today had the ability to be who they wanted to be and not be judged, how they can travel to any part of the world now and said that 50 years ago this was near impossible for people because of expense and stuff, and technology gave me my final point so i'm hoping thats ok :o

    The journal intime was me having disgruntled customers and stuff, and the concerts were me waffling on, so i did Q4a too, and the comprehensions were grand i think, though i made a couple silly mistakes >.<

    All in all, I'm hoping all has gone ok for me :rolleyes:

    I just realized that I unintentionally wrote 2-3 English words in my written piece- will that cost me a lot? :eek:
    And do they really deduct 1 mark for every grammar mistake? :eek:

    Comprehensions were grand, I got A and D,

    Written pieces I did 1A) wrote that young people should be happy and compared Irish youth to people in 3rd world and how we should be happy.

    2a) In first year I learned the word for ladder and I said I would use it in my my LC, with question 2a i did:D

    4b) It disagreed with the statement saying that theres no point holidaying in Ireland due to bad weather and its expensive etc..

    Aural - Wasnt the best for me, I misheard the guy speeding, the one about food and i heard the word gauffre meaning waffle :L


    One thing I am worried about is that I went waay over the word count for all written pieces, I asked my teacher and she said I would lose marks but im just worried about all the extra grammar mistakes:(

    Am I the only one worried that it was TOO easy? And hence the marking scheme will be brutal? :/

    I was surprised by how lovely that paper was! Comprehensions where actually comprehensible (surprise, surprise), Aural wasn't the best but sure c'est la vie! Managed to get an extra essay written too! woo.
    Did anyone else notice how the email about the Irish language was word from word the same as a question that came up a few years ago? I nearly whooped when I saw it! Lovely topics! :D

    The diary entry came up in the late 90s too. I had it done in my copy and was looking at the page before it 10 minutes before the exam, wish I'd read over it, would've gotten it done way quicker instead of running short on time. :cool:

    Would a possessive adjective be something like,'mon,ma,mes,ton,ta,tes..and so on? :/
