eternallyapril Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm not sure... I think it was ok, but a bit rushed! Which of the texts did you choose? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salome Holland Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) I chose the first texts. I think it went quite well. Edited May 3, 2016 by Salome Holland Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
you'llneverknow Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I chose the second one. I did not have time for proofreading though. I hope it was ok Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
#teamnosleep Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I chose the first set (Text A and B). I thought the Paper 1 was a bit different than the previous papers. What did u guys wrote on your essays? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I chose the second pair. This year's texts are oddly long, i didn't have enough time to write a really comprehensive essay. I did finish everything on time though but not with the quality I wanted... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Lin Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Urgh, I chose the first pair but it was so long, I hate it when I have to flip between pages to write my analysis I think it's kind of unfair too, the second text is like two genres in one text, so there are so many more things needed to be mentioned for format :\ I did okay but I feel like the papers this year are so much more challenging compared to the previous one. The November 2015 paper 1 was already quite long and difficult, but this one is just worse :< Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZhenXS Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I chose the first pair too! It was about the environment or something right? (making sure that the timezone is the same) In my analysis I basically addressed the basic stuffs (purpose, context, audience, etc.) and I discussed most of the stylistic features and form and structure and what not.... while comparing and contrasting in between. I got to finish my essay, just hoping that it was enough of an analysis! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to finish my essay, just hoping that it was enough of an analysis! Yes! I used the Big 5 for my analysis and I wrote how the audience of Text A and B differ, as Text A seems to want to include everyone however the environmental jargon would make younger audience and some non-environmentalists not suitable audience for Text A, whereas Text B with more informal language would drew audience of younger audience and probably adults who are looking for entertainment. I wrote that both texts have the same theme and purpose but Text A has a more specific purpose which is to promote a bio-sensitive society.

shraddhaj Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I choose the second set of texts and found it to be really interesting because of the underlying themes and the fact that one of them was a poem. Anyone else did the second set of texts? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jivrymuh1 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Was quite shocked since 3 out of the 4 texts are mainly from websites. I think it went well. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
