Managed to get out 13 pages in 50 minutes. I liked the question, as the essay I had memorised had a strong significance on obstacles / barriers, and the question refered to detours. I think it's a good start for me :D

My writing isn't very big at all. But i had finished my first page in 3 1/2 minutes and that was just my intro... You'd be suprised what a little planning will do before hand. The trick is, i spent the first 5 minutes doing my essay plan. (I'm very persistent on structure) and after that, you know each dot point and you elaborate at like 200 words per minute...

1 8 page booklet plus 2 pages.
yea thats average. still pretty good. i guess quality and quantity will be taken into account.

i wrote 2 8 page booklets. small writing but it got a bit big towards the end.

i discussed 2 skrzynecki poems. frosts the road not taken and my visual piece.

i ended up talking about crossing the red sea and migrant hostel. just like about the detours and uncontrollability. it was pretty good. i done my best. thats all that matters i guess.

I talked about obstacles in my essay, hopefully that relates to unexpected detours. I tackled the question head on too so I actually answered the question.

I was concise, I just had a lot of points to elaborate on. It's better than writing 4 pages of pure garbage.

i think i wrote 8 pages and with mid-sized writing. wasn't too happy with it though. what i wrote was good but i'm not sure it fitted the question as well as i'd have liked. oh well, at least i tried :)
