What did you guys say for the topic management question?

I said the inhalation of breath signaled the end of the topic and 'wrapped up' the discourse

I'm really happy with the AC! So glad they chose a formal written text. That being said, I realised at the end I forgot to mention the imperative... oh well  :-X
The SAQ was better than expected, but their use of "language features" threw me off because... I don't really know what that includes LOL
The essay topics were really broad and yet I struggled :/

Sorry, what question are you referring to with “language features” was there a question that explicitly stated that?

If I recall correctly I think short answer questions 3,4 and maybe 5 said it. I got confused bc for example features of spoken discourse and strategies of spoken discourse are different- so I wasn’t sure what was and wasn’t included.

I just want to ask why no one posted anything in at least 30 days?

The exam was held on the 12th of November; four and a half months ago.
