[English] So what are our thoughts on today's English exam?Particularly the context prompts?

[shermas at mlc.vic.edu.au]

I was a little worried about it - and wondered (a) if the students would read it - despite having been told to and (b) if they 'd know how to adapt what they've been practising for 'student audiences' (as per most of the sample papers circulating) to a wider, more general audience. I suspect that it will be a discriminator.
