Why english is so boring.

At GCSE, in my school, we do a dual English Lang/Lit course. Get two GCSEs but take double to work.

In Year 10, we did all our coursework. So that in year 11, we could concentrate on the massive exams. (4-5 Hours in total, I think)

Prep for English is the most boring thing ever, for comprehension anyway. You get a extract of some story. Have to read it. Then answer four 10 mark questions about it. Boring.

Here is why it’s really boring.

In Maths. a^2 + b^2 = h^2 See the = sign means if this is what a+b = you get a mark, or three.

In Science. How does eutrophication occur? If what you write is correct you an get one or three mark.

In English. How does the author convey the feeling of Maddie? In the lines 20-30

You could write a page on it, saying how she feels sad when her dog dies in line 25, but if you don’t quote it. No marks. It’s obvious she’s going to be sad. Unless she kills it. So why insist on a quote! When you have to read between the lines, quotes are fine. No problem their.

This post has now made me late for school. I think I have English first.
