Hi,
I'm very nervous about tomorrow's GAT!
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
-
Really???
-
I'm in year 11 as well and I'm having difficulty doing task 1 -.- I end up retelling what's already given :( btw goodluck.
-
Give me a topic. I'll expository it to you on the spot.
-
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:

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 wow after reading yours mine looks even worse :'(

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!!

Life=over . Citing stuff doesn't seem too bad but I hate English with a passion to say the least only because its my weakest subject. So I'm basically dead tomorrow.
-
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.

You know what I thought was a troll...
Was the GAT.
He picked up the volume from the table and read out the whole title, “‘Practical Handbook of Bee Culture, with some Observations upon the Segregation of the Queen.’ Alone I did it. Behold the fruit of pensive nights and laborious days, when I watched the little working gangs as once I watched the criminal world of London
Sherlock Holmes Approved.

Re: Uni is god awful shit
"Uni is god awful shit. Discuss"
Let us commence a journey into the much travelled topic of uni is god awful shit. Many an afternoon has been enjoyed by a family, bonding over the discussion of uni is god awful shit. Cited by many as the single most important influence on post modern micro eco compartmentalism, several of todays most brilliant minds seem incapable of recognising its increasing relevance to understanding future generations. The juxtapositioning of uni is god awful shit with fundamental economic, social and political strategic conflict draws criticism from the aristocracy, many of whom blame the influence of television. With the primary aim of demonstrating my considerable intellect I will now demonstrate the complexity of the many faceted issue that is uni is god awful shit.
Social Factors
As Reflected in classical mythology society is complicated. When blues legend 'Bare Foot D' remarked 'awooooh eeee only my dawg understands me' [1] he, contrary to my learned colleague Sir George Allen’s recent publication ‘Into the eye of , could not have been referring to eighteenth century beliefs regarding society. Spanning divides such as class, race and uglyness, uni is god awful shit raises the question 'why?'
Our post-literate society, more than ever before, relies upon uni is god awful shit. If society has a favourite child, it is uni is god awful shit.
Economic Factors
Is unemployment inherently bad for an economy? Yes. We shall examine the JTB-Guide-Dog model, a lovely model
(http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3442/78022930.jpg)
Clearly the graphs demonstrates a strong correlation. Why is this? Even a child could work out that the average wage, ultimately decided by politicians, will always be heavily influenced by uni is god awful shit due to its consistently high profile in the portfolio of investors. In the light of this free trade must be examined.
Political Factors
Much of the writings of historians display the conquests of the most powerful nations over less powerful ones. Looking at the spectrum represented by a single political party can be reminiscent of comparing 0
In the words of award winning journalist Xaviera Rock 'A man must have his cake and eat it in order to justify his actions.' [2] He was first introduced to uni is god awful shit by his mother. I feel strongly that if politicians spent less time thinking about uni is god awful shit and put more effort into their family life, that we would have a very different country.
Since the Renaissance uni is god awful shit has become more and more prevalent. May it continue.
Conclusion
What can we conclude? Well, uni is god awful shit has played a large part in the development of man in the 20th Century and its influence remains strong. It enlightens our daily lives, influences the influencers, and is a joy to behold.
Let's finish with a thought from star Shania Morissette: 'You win some, you loose some, but uni is god awful shit wins most often.' [3]

Ok so I've been at it since 7:30 and all ive got is this :
With their dominant builds, excellent sight , keen sense of smell and large sharp teeth there is no wonder why the fears of wolves create in most children's childhood by the story ' little red riding hood' are emphasized when they picture a wolf. Wolves live in packs of 6-20...
Inb4 fail the gat, inb4 fail it again next year , inb4 fail VCE .
-
Writing one sentence per hour, I recommend you speed up for the GAT tomorrow. Otherwise you will only get three sentences. And that's if you ignore multi choice.
-
Lol thats because i restarted a few times because it sounded so bad . Yet still no improvement.

Write out a plan, 5 paragraphs. Intro, body, conclusion and stick similar points together. Since everyone else is doing knock, knock jokes and Facebook memes you'll beat them without a sweat.

I think you should focus more on the epic tale of "little red riding hood" maybe combine some DotA elements too, to make it more interesting. Here's some food for thought:
The savage wolf turned out to be Lycanthrope with a incredible movement speed of 520 when he uses Shapeshift.
Poor little red riding hood was just an innocent Crystal Maiden who was scouting the Scourge's territory and placing some offensive wards.
Little did she know that Lycanthrope scouted her out with his Summon Wolves.
The end result was FirstBlood for the Lycanthrope.

Knock-Knock.
Who's there?
Thivvy.
Thivvy who?
Thivvy eat you with his dominant build
That's how you want to write your GAT. Use Thivvy as a microcosm for the animal kingdom.

No, in reading time just mentally link together info. Those will be your paragraphs. One main idea, linking points relevant. Then the main ideas will link (this is the order of your paragraphs).
e.g. Llamas.
-
his dominant build
brenden brings up an interesting point. You could go into more detail on some of the best builds for the Lycanthrope.
Perhaps describe the old school 2007 styled Lycanthrope.
Early game: Bottle, 2 bracers.
Mid game: Sange and Yasha, Radiance
Late game: Butterfly, Heart, Divine Rapier(?)

You could always mention that 'wolf' backwards is 'flow', which coincidentally is a Japanese rock band, who have released twenty singles and seven albums; and I still have never heard of them.

Listen, failing the GAT isnt the end of the world...although it comes close. What I'm trying to say is theres always alternative pathways to get where you want. If you're determined, nothing can hold you back (not even the all inmportant GAT!)
