Haha they took the english paper 2 passage from "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hossani.
They changed it around a bit though.
Man, I did some minor screwups in the paper :(:(, which is why I think I MIGHT have missed an A*. What about you guys?


And did anyone feel passage 2 was incomplete? They didnt explain WHY Amir began to hate Hassan. (This is not a question in the paper, so its not a paper discussion)

Yes, it's an extract from "the Kite Runner". I noticed it immediately after reading the first few lines! :)
Well, lets hope we all get very good grades. I might have made many mistakes and slips... :(

Yeah lol. But I'm just saying, for those who haven't its a downside on CIE's behalf. Man, May/June 2010 was too bloody easy in almost all subjects. The english paper was like crazy easy...

I only wrote 16 points (excluding given ones). Ran out of space in boxes. Can I get 15 marks if all my points are correct?
