*Mock Exam Preparations

Another issue of Perspectives Magazine is out, and this time the topic is LOVE! To find it; log on to Fronter -> Ressurser -> Cappelen Damm. Log on to Cappelen Damm using your Fronter username and password. When you're in you will see your name up at the right hand corner. Click at "Min side" and Terminprøver Engelsk will come up. Click on "Gå til" and voila! You're in :)


Rules of thumb when it comes to the Mock Exam:

1. Come prepared! Make sure that you have read all the texts thoroughly and that you know the basic rules of the genres (essay, short story, diary entry, personal letter etc.)
2. Write down sources! If you have gathered information outside of the magazine (which you should do) make sure that you write down where you found that information. If you use it in one of your texts you HAVE TO include it (list the source(s) at the end of your text).
3. When you get the tasks; read the information (PRAKTISKE OPPLYSNINGER) at the beginning thoroughly! Here you will get information about font size, font, spacing and more.
4. Read the tasks thoroughly! Make sure that you understand the tasks and that you can say YES to all the bulletpoints at the criteria checklist (there is a criteria checklist in each task).
5. Plan your writing. Especially when it comes to Part B and your longer answer it is crucial that you make a draft / plan before you start to write.
6. Make sure that you refer to texts in Perspectives Magazine when you are writing. Show the reader that some of the texts and quotes inspired you!
7. Use connecting words and various ways to express your opinion. Avoid using the the words VERY and REALLY!
8. Read through your texts thoroughly before you hand in your exam. You will get at checklist sheet you have to hand in with your exam.
9. Bring energizing food! Not just candy :)

GOOD LUCK!
