Hi,

I'm currently in year 11 and need more practise for tomorrow's GAT, so if you do happen to have any expository and persuasive essay structures and practise essays please post it up here!
Thanks

Yeah I took the GAT in year 11 and got <15 in all areas! It fucked up my study score. If no one posts stuff up I would recommend googling esoteric animals then finding out their features and write a full piece on it. Do it for no less than 10 animals.

I thought it wasn't going to affect our study scores D:

This is mine from last year on wolves, gl :)

   
An essay on Wolves
In this essay I will consider the social, economic and political factors of Wolves. At one stage or another, every man woman or child will be faced with the issue of Wolves. Remarkably Wolves is heralded by shopkeepers and investment bankers alike, leading many to state that there are just not enough blues songs written about Wolves. Since it was first compared to antidisestablishmentarianism much has been said concerning Wolves by the upper echelons of progressive service sector organisations, obviously. With the primary aim of demonstrating my considerable intellect I will now demonstrate the complexity of the many faceted issue that is Wolves.

Social Factors
Society is a human product. When Sir Bernard Chivilary said 'hounds will feast on society' [1] he saw clearly into the human heart. No symbol is more potent than Wolves in society today. It is crunchy on the outside but soft in the middle.

Special care must be taken when analysing such a delicate subject. On the other hand anyone that disagrees with me is an idiot. It is intrinsically linked to adolescent inner acclimatisation.

Economic Factors
Do we critique the markets, or do they in-fact critique us? We shall examine the JTB-Guide-Dog model, as is standard in this case.
Oil
Prices   
         
            Wolves

The statistics make it clear that Wolves is a major market factor. Seemingly oil prices plays in increasingly important role in the market economy. Many analysts fear a subsequent depression.

Political Factors
Machiavellian politics is rife. Are our leaders justified in pursuing and maintaining political power? Comparing the general view of politics held by the poor of the west with those of the east can be like comparing pre and post war views of Wolves.

One quote comes instantly to mind when examining this topic. I mean of course the words of nobel prize winner Achilles Tuigamala 'Man's greatest enemy is complacency with regards to personal and political hygiene.' [2] Amazingly, he new nothing of Wolves until he was well into his thirties. I feel strongly that if politicians spent less time thinking about Wolves and put more effort into their family life, that we would have a very different country.

Is Wolves politically correct, in every sense? Each man, woman and to a lesser extent, child, must make up their own mind.

Conclusion
In my opinion Wolves is both a need and a want. It brings peace, it stimulates and never hides.

I will leave you with the words of Hollywood's Elvis Clooney: 'I demand Wolves, nothing more nothing less.' [3]

Oh, no! Depending on how many exams you have the GAT is a significant portion. Eg. for psychology, 33% for exam 1 and 2, 20% for the GAT and 14% for SAC scores.
Also, whilst being a mod, VegemitePi can make mistakes; he forgot historical factors. But he exhibits excellent referencing. Normally they don't teach you that until uni but most people take referencing lectures during 1st term hols to get it sorted for the GAT.
Be sure to reference your best and good luck!!

Look, try not to tell your friends 'cause I don't want the whole state doing it but tomorrow I'm writing a series of knock-knock jokes. Assessors love to laugh and the advantage of this style is no citing and a large vocabulary isn't important.

Thank you so much ! I will try to incorporate humor into my essay but it still seems so basic compared to all the essays that are being posted. Also I'm not trolling , that's the depressing part.
