Good luck Ben. I'm sure you'll be fine with English- I can understand everything you say!

So can I but will the examiner ?After all he/she will probably speak 'popanglese'

Okay... update. Eng lang went fine, I think. Only slight shame was that, as I was in a bit of a rush, I did not take enough time to choose my "Part B" essay question. Picked the first one off the list which was a "writing to argue" when, further down the list, there was a "writing to advise" under this title :- "Write an article to young people advising them to take up a hobby that you enjoy."

When I heard about this unseen question choice from my contempories after the exam, I thought: "Oh s***t, I could have written an effing dissertation!" LOL.

Never mind, I think I wrote a pretty decent response to the "writing to argue" Q anyway.

And French listening went well as well...

Next up - English lang 2 on Wednesday...

Got a 10 day break before my next exam!!!

They've been coming in thick n' fast recently, but all have gone okay I think...

Nowhere near enough time to keep up with threads properly on here.

Oh I can't wait till their over, I'm missing my evenings in the Beekeeper's Arms.

Enough time to take a few days break before building up to the next one.

Enjoy!

Last exam yesterday!!!


Cue Alice Cooper:

Well we got no choice,
All the girls and boys,

Makin' all that noise,
'Cause they found new toys,

Well we can't salute ya,
Can't find a flag,

If that don't suit ya ,
That's a drag...

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces...
