    English Extension 2! Where to start?

    This. I think one of the best things you should do at the moment is write down some ideas with plot lines and show them to your teacher to she what they think and which direction you should go in.

    When MX2 Gets Very Hard

    I really think it depends on how much you have studied the type of questions they give you. You could have a great understand of the topics from studying the course from the textbook but when they put some of those harder 3u, or whatever it is in question eight, you have basically very little...

    English Extension 2! Where to start?

    Well it depends on how you look at it. It's a good habit to get into, promotes wide reading, allows you to have a break from schoolwork while still actively engaging yourself with related (although not always) material and often stimulates imaginative thinking.

    Sorry if all of that seemed a bit critical, but that was just how I read it; I am trying to help, not put you down.

    induction help PLZ!

    Mate, I could do worked solutions for all of these questions but I don't think that would bridge the gap in your understanding, and besides I am hopeless at latex. I will try and explain it though. Have you done questions like these before? For the divisibility proofs, do your n=1 step, then for...

    English Extension 2! Where to start?

    A tip I read somewhere when creating metaphors: Write down the metaphor. Then keep changing words until it sounds like something you have never read before but sounds like something you have felt before. This way you are constantly keeping the reader interested, making them involved and the...

    English Extension 2! Where to start?

    HSC. Linking back can either be through further exploring ideas or concepts addressed in the text or more briefly in your major work journal as something that helped give your work focus or depth of understanding. Mention it in the reflection statement. It is possible to use frankenstein as an...

    Research is how you collate the ideas, concepts, themes, contexts, techniques and values of your story. For example, I doubt that one day you will just wake up, know everything that is going to be in your story and write the whole thing out in one sitting, then your reflection statement and...

    Should I do Advanced English or Standard?

    You could give up and say that you are hopeless at English, that you don't know anything and that you will probably fail. Or you could pick yourself up, do everything you can to improve your English and take Advanced and get the marks that one deserves from putting in effort.
