varient 2
we had to write an article based on air travel... 2 case studies provided one said air travel was the largest contributor of CO2
the other said its opposite
so u had to basically write an article on the heading provided the real truth of air travel or somethinbg like dat
overall not bad

Okay, so I think the thing was talking about the ONE storm, that had occurred as the writer was writing. The one that flooded his house. And he was recalling the other two. I may be wrong mind you. Question: were we supposed to write in columns? Because I sure didn't. I used subheadings.

There was no need to write in columns or write any subheadings. We just had to use that one heading that they gave us and write it lyk a story. Ithink thats it. If im not wrong in an article u just hav to ryt 1 heading and u sign off with ur name at the bottom. Well thats what i did.

Look, I'm not sure about that. Just try to write it in a newspaper format, that is a subheadig or 2, short paragraphs(2-3 sentences at most), and signing off is kinda optional, and I don't think it's necessary. But preferable if you do. As I said, I may be mistaken. I don't really like talking about exams after I write them. It scares me :D

I talked about the storm which he wrote about in his second diary entry. Where the writer said that he was not sure if he was gona b alive and the water was all over the small place. I think thats th e1 we were supposed 2 write about

Yet but the questions were general asking what happened to his surrounding and the fisherman-in that case buildings were destroyed, the peace disrupted in that village etc.After that, they asked about why he was stubborn not to leave-in that case i wrote that he wanted to show that he could survive such ordeals, there was chances of him feeling loyal to that place and he was obstinate etc...Nexrt, I just wrote what was likely to happen in the future in my own words....so I guess I gave a general view towards everything.

I just gave a little background history about the other storms but i mainly oncentrated on the current storm cuz thats how we write a report... first give a general view about the current situation answering all the who's what's when's where's why's.... then tell the bacckground leading to the main topic....then write the present thing that is the current situation of the storm and the victims...then write about the witnesses and finally write a litte about the future........so in the background leading to the story i wrote about how he survived the previous storms etc
