Day 2 – GP Papers 1 and 2

Wow… surprise surprise! Day 2 of the A levels sure brought along yet another surprise for me!
GP Papers today were quite manageable haha. Much to my relief man! Woots! GP Paper was one of the papers that I was more worried about. Now that it’s over, and it didn’t pose too much of a problem, I sure am relieved.
I picked a question on environment and economic growth for Paper 1. Haha, lucky for me there was a question on environment. That is usually my first priority. Hahas… as I wrote, it certainly felt more and more like an Econs essay on factors leading to economic growth lol.However, should be quite okay after some adjustments that I had made. I am certainly quite confident of this one. Should be able to score reasonable grades if I did not write out of point.
After a short break, it was Paper 2.The passage was one on environment and nature. As ideas from Paper 1 were still quite fresh in my mind, I didn’t have too much problem comprehending the passage. Haha! That really helped of course! That with the fact that I take an interest in the environment so it wasn’t too difficult… Hahas!
Then again, I was also quite surprised to find only one passage for Paper 2 Compre at first. Hahas was flipping and flipping looking for the second passage but couldn’t find it. Well, guess I’m just too used to having two passages. Then again, having only one passage was certainly much easier to handle.
As a result, there was less time required for reading the passages and I had more time in answering the questions instead. Well, I had more than enough time actually, had 45 minutes left for my AQ hahas. So I took my time in analysing the question and in picking out good points from the passage to argue. Well, the Passage was something about parks and the environment and nature… hahas my forte!So there was not much trouble in picking out examples from Singapore to use in the AQ.
There were lots of points available for summary as well. So all in all, a really good paper I felt!
Hahas! Now I’m energised for my next couple of papers! Yeah man! Woots!
