    Gloal Village Help Red Hot Chilli Peppers Californification

    I suppose there are a couple of links to globalisation; e.g. 'little girls from sweden dream of silver screen quotation'. 'The sun may rise in the east at least it settles in the final location'. I think a lot of the lyrics might be pointing more to how california epitomises western influence...

    Am I better to drop a subject, or do horribly for it in the HSC?

    I really hope this isn't the case, but the matrix atar calculator takes you down if you get low marks in one subj even if it's 12 units total...

    Do we have to synthesize/integrate texts

    I don't wing mate, I'm coming first in eng in my grade. I don't memorise essays, but I of course memorise quotes and paragraphs roughly, I try to remember the structure of my essays. I generally just make links between the texts when going from one to the other, just a sentence drawing...

    Do we have to synthesize/integrate texts

    I think in english alota people worry too much about a formula and too little about saying insightful, meaningful things, which encourages markers to appreciate the uniqueness of your work. I think alota the synthesis necessary can be implied pretty easily, and just start and end your paragraphs...

    Am I better to drop a subject, or do horribly for it in the HSC?

    Lol, EE1 is my 12th unit and I've so far done ZERO study for it, despite being ranked second. I reckon our class will do shit, so I'm just kinda ignoring it, it just won't count in ATAR. If you're confident it's your worst unit and it's your 11th unit don't bother focusing on it is my advice

    To what EXTENT!!!

    Don't ever use first person, you sound childish. ALWAYS THIRD PERSON. There is no way you'll be marked done for using third person, but alota teachers don't like first person. Especially not right at the start of an essay, gives an immature impression

    To what EXTENT!!!

    It means evaluate. 'Discuss', 'to what extent', 'evaluate', 'assess'...They basically all mean the same thing, don't let em confuse you

    Atar Estimate Please (have trial marks too)

    Yeah I'd still say high 70s low 80s, but maths is heaps important and you should focus on it

    Questions and discussion - Germany:

    1) devalued German Mark, quite simply. Those who did not have equity assets or large holdings of other currencies but who had a large amount of money went broke pretty quickly. Working class and middle class were poorly affected, as you'd expect; life savings were generally destroyed pretty...

    English - Creative - How many stories?

    One. Kinda. Haven't written it since the trial though, it's not long enough and I'm horrible at creative. I'm good at english, I'm fine with the essays, really. But creative is just unbearable, and it's only about 15% of the marks, a 10-12 mark is fine with me
