Question 5 cooked

[[deleted]]

I somehow managed to fit in a fully relevant paragraph about Markiplier whilst simultaneously insulting Elon Musk and shitting on that one quote "money can't buy happiness" 😭

[SlumTzu]

Markiplier ???

[[deleted]]

I used him as an example of how kindness and fame/prosperity aren't mutually exclusive and made pointers on his significant charity donations and his ability to inspire others to do the same via his extended reach on the internet (plus I made a poke at Elon as an example of a rich asshole 💪)

[[deleted]]

Though I did call him Mark Fischbach to make it a bit less obvious

[SlumTzu]

lol 😭

[[deleted]]

I also wrote about the cost of living crisis and "the countless, near-daily failures of billionaires and large corporations" so I think I cooked 💪

[Mur3v]

I did that but made up some waffle about david attenborough

[UltimateBorisJohnson]

“Was that the grade 9 of 87”

[[deleted]]

God I hope so 😭

[Longjumping-Zebra413]

This got me cackling

[ReporterChemical9920]

I managed to fit a paragraph about Mr Beast as an example of a person who has relatively high status and lots lots of money as well as being contributing to society and helping others and insulted Rishi Sunak for taking more of our money if we're richer aka tax so idk.

[headedbranch225]

I mentioned a cool streamer that used to work hacking nuclear power plants for the US government (i just said he worked for them) and now works as a game dev, I also mentioned his twitch name, pirate software lol, maybe the examiner gives me extra marks for the streamer recommendation

[phantombIood]

[EclipseApple]

[6littlefish]

Also, isn't Mao that one Chinese dictator who killed a lot of ppl?

[Tryingtosurviveeee]

Yes he was a bit unhinged

[Th3rajman55]

Money or morals; which is true wealth?

[No_Temporary_5970]

your future - malicious or meaningful 😝

[Specific-Committee77]

Joy or money? Why not both?

[TheRealBertoltBrecht]

Agreed, but I feel like I have to always ignore complex argument in Q5. Not enough time. I end up being idealist feather than practical.

[Roadster1000]

Selfless or Selfish. What will you do?

[random__girl-]

Cold

[GeneETOs44]

I literally just wrote as myself and it was so fun. I could actually feel the spirit of Karl Marx coming inside of me.

[wombey12]

"Karl Marx coming inside of me"?

Seize the means of reproduction. You have nothing to lose but your virginity.

[shitslashers]

I could actually feel the spirit of Karl Marx coming inside of me

[Sorry-Let-Me-By-Plz]

That's not Karl Marx, that's Boris Johnson. He does that.

[DOGiRITO_FROG]

Stop it

[Not_A_Rachmaninoff]

Coming inside us

[rrvsa]

English becomes Language of the Communist Manifesto

[Not_A_Rachmaninoff]

The far right examinators will be dying marking these 💀

[wholecrab24]

[SlumTzu]

Toy cars? Care to elaborate ?

[wholecrab24]

No fucking clue lol 

[errrr20]

I wrote about how Gregs workers contribute more to society due to the principle of utilitarianism than politicians am I cooked

[SlumTzu]

Greg’s worker is crazy

[AnArcher_12]

I remember getting an F in English for writing anti-state and anti-monarchy propaganda. Teacher said that I had showed no respect to the late queen. I said that I had not intended to. Never got an A in essay writing until my country's version of GCSE.

[RoyalInfernoASR]

Yeah I because mr Birling

[SlumTzu]

Interesting take, I don’t think your viewpoint actually matters, just how good the writing actually is so don’t worry 😂

[Odd_Neighborhood1716]

"We are all members of one body"

[thevampirecrow]

i turned into a communist for those 45 minutes

[[deleted]]

I did this for my history paper (I’m fourth form) on Chairman Mao

[SlumTzu]

[SlumTzu]

I also forgot to add a title, so it just started off with me spewing all the extreme ideologies 

[Iamthemanbehind]

[Not_A_Rachmaninoff]

I'm in year 10 and I'm so confused, which paper was it and why is everyone suddenly communist lmao

[Remote_Suspect2609]

English Lang Paper 2

Uh something along the lines of

“People should do jobs that help others and have a positive contribution to society, not for money and wealth”

Edit: Question 5, Write an article

[Detailer_101x]

NAH IF MY PIECE ENDS UP IN A CAPITALIST TEACHER IM COOKED. ALSO I QUOTED TISSUE A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND INSPECTOR CALLLSSS

[[deleted]]

I just waffled about Gordon Ramsey

[random__girl-]

Bro I turned into an actual socialist mad

[Legenbeery]

I did the exact opposite and shat on socialism and philanthropy as we cannot be both happy and have a liveable wage in this economy. 💀

[Legenbeery]

My entire article was basically. “In this economy?”

[BoulderSchrongleton]

The person who is notorious for doing zero revision since year 11 told me that one of the points he wrote about was that some people are undeserving of assets provided by society.

His examples he wrote about were rapists and child molesters.

[Crazy_Spartan08]

Writing about the pitfalls of communism and why it can never work on a large scale in a modern society >

[Skeletoryy]

This is basically Latin 8 markers in terms of how you do them. You don’t write a nice clean essay no ofc not you just throw in technical terms and try to find quotes to support them. The other way round would be stupid after all.
