Answer 3

I though the comprehension was boring but the answers were't too difficult to write. The description in the the passage was good and it wasn't that tough. It was definitely harder than ones I'd done in sample papers or past papers though.

The essay was really great for me, I got a title i could write really well and i was really pleased. Got a good 4 pages in under the time. The functional writeing was a bit weird, I did the NASA answer but I couldn't really tell if I'd done a good answer or not.  The media was ok, I answered on the racism posteres but i had a different view to most of my friends on the more effective poster. I think I came up with good points to support my poster though so I hope it was ok. Paper two was kind of hard, especially the studied poetry.
