    You can get it for sickness and if someone in your year falls pregnant as well... sucks to go to an all boys school haha.

    Why!

    Even that is arguable... its an introduction and going so in-depth into the technique of juxtaposition seems clunky. Some of the wording is off as well... Sticking to the basics and clearly outlining the two issues, outlining the extract and its significance in the whole text would have gotten...

    Hamlet Listening Task Help?

    Yes absolutely... do your normal analysis but tie it neatly to the extract and you should do well. Needless to say, during the listening aspect of the test take notes to remember the extract, it makes everything easier. good luck.

    Hamlet Listening Task Help?

    Interesting question... at my school we did the listening task on a completely unrelated and unseen text. I'll try and help as much as I can. So, Textual integrity means how unified the text is as a whole and how its use of form, language techniques etc produce an integrated text as a whole. In...

    Avatar or Avengers?

    Hmmm i liked Avengers more than Avatar... they both had there flaws though. Avatar ripped off much of its storyline from Pocahontas and Avengers was a superhero movie without the transformation from nerd to strong super hero, which makes those types of movies awesome.

    Help in chemistry question please

    Yeah my mistake, copper and gold are found free in nature but they were able to utilise these metals because they have lower melting points and could be easily reshaped. It does make sense and we are both correct, the un-reactive part is what is more important in an exam i suppose.

    Help in chemistry question please

    pretty much right, you need to talk about why though, not just how easy they are to obtain. Gold was used first because its a free metal and because of its low melting point whereas other metals were used later because temperatures couldn't be reached. Also other techniques such as electrolysis...

    Creative Writing.

    I am having a bit of trouble thinking of ideas for the creative writing section of my upcoming exam on the Gothic genre.

    Help with short answer section in english exams?

    How long you spend on a question should be based on how many marks the question is worth. 2 mark questions i generally write 1-2 paragraphs on and 4 mark questions about 3-4. It also depends on what the question is asking, if its a basic: 'describe one technique utilised' then definitely watch...

    Best way to remember English quotes?

    Choose your quotes carefully, I memorise them like a speech and associate themes with them.
