    I thought it went well. But what is an aidiacht? All I did was write 'cumhachta' (or similar, I didn't change it) but I think I got that wrong (HL paper)..

    Thought Paper 1 overall was ok,
    Listening i didnt get much of 2nd page but ok in last 1
    Comprehensions were fine.
    Changing tenses easy but B was impossible, anyone know what we were meant to do for 6?
    Essay i did B (ii) and put in my pre-prepared one

    Paper 2 i thought was a lot harder
    Didnt really get comprehension at all and quoted from text so get few marks if any. Studied i didnt really have one prepared for it but used Dioltas an Mhada Rua and duine cliste
    Poetry, didnt really get that either and same with comprehension by way of answering. Studied was fine and used Ailleacht and Dulra with Na Blatha Craige
    Letter was fine, stuck in my learned intro and ending and did A, the one about a YouTube video

    Overall thought it was ok, probably a low B or high C?

    I didn't even notice it was a letter to the editor in there! :O

    You probably won't get any Layout marks but you'll get marked on the body of your letter as if you did it to an editor.

    If i did an excellent body to the letter how many marks max could i get

    She lose some marks but won't not get any. There's probably a set number of marks for relating to the title. She mightn't get any of them but she'll still get the rest of the marks based on the quality of the essay :)

    i'll tell her that thank you :D

    I honestly don't know what the marking scheme is for the letters so I couldn't tell you! Check one of the old marking schemes to see what it says about the layout and what not :)

    I thought it meant a horrible person. Not so much in looks but in personality? :confused:

    Yeah I would have went with that, I'm not sure how you'd write on an ugly person. Horrible seems more likely!
