OK its not my teacher shes great.. it's not that i don't try hard enough.
Im only here to relate to others out there who feel the same way..
i dunno if its a weakness or whatever, but it's weird. I'm getting 90% + for all my other subjects.. but for English i am around the 60% area.. I KNOW THIS IS BAD.... its horrible.
I don't know why i do so bad.. but i hate the fact that english inccorporates the ability to be creative, and have flair.. have great sentence structure and use high levels of sophistication.. thats where i lose marks. I've always been a person of logical thinking and right answer/wrong answer, so maybe this is why i do so bad. I don't know how to put it.. My uai and therefore my future career choice is influenced greatly by my english mark.. but i don't see how english or the ability to write suberb 20/20 essays could EVER coincide with careers in medicine which require an extremely HIGH UAI.
I hate how the mood of a marker can affect the mark of an english paper. In almost every other subject this wouldn't happen.. You answer the question correctly, you get full marks. With an english paper, there are 2884398234093248902348482348023408483428 possibilities of writing an answer, and each answer has 432342349234987234023492348842348234 reasons for the mark it recieved, ranging from use of quotes, techniques, punctuation/grammar, structure, sophistication, etc.. W.T. fucking F
Ill give you an example of what i mean. I dont want my weakness of writing band 6 essays on shakespearean literature, nor my incompetent ability to write exciting 'creative stories' on 'belonging', (which will never affect my future) influence my chance at a sucessful one... if that makes sense.
Thanks for hearing my bitch, now all the english lovers can blow some steam. Does anyone agree with anything i said? And please if your good at english.. please don't say how its 'easy' or i 'dont try hard enough'. If it came to science and mathamatics i would rape you. I guess it's just that i can't think outside the box? I'm not creative? I dunno..
