You're amazing thank you so much! this was so helpful and its given me a starting place to begin preparing for the test.

[@leahvadher]

how did you find it?

[@CatHelicopter]

@@leahvadher I found it pretty good! How did you find it? (if you did the test)

[@leahvadher]

@@CatHelicopter me too! the theme was quite versatile, i did texts C and D what about you?

[@CatHelicopter]

@@leahvadher I did B and F, I thought they were good because the atmosphere they constructed was similar but the actual writing style was very different. idkdkdkdkk i just have a good feeling about it. i messed up my time management a little and ended up cutting my third paragraph off too early and rushing to finish but overall i think it was good

[@leahvadher]

@@CatHelicopter ah that sounds good, C and D were the antithesis of eachother imo , one called sleep beautiful and the other went on a rant about how ugly it was. by the third para i had somehow gotten to how sleep was a euphemism for death 💀
