Targets

The target which I am setting myself is, to make sure that I memorize and revise different power techniques so I am able to use the language within my essay when in an exam. I will do this because it will allow me to get higher marks because I will be using the correct terminology.
Also, my target is to make sure that I plan before I start writing an essay because then I will have a good idea of what I am going to write, how to time manage my writing and so I can write a well structured essay and be prepared for A2.

MUM  - Outnumbered Script
I mean Jake’s pretty low-maintenance for a 15 year old.
And he’s got nice friends and…
BEN
Jake’s really popular. Big kids keep coming up to me and
saying… ‘so you’re jailbait’s brother. His band’s really cool’
and stuff like that. Can I have a biscuit?
MUM is staring at him.
MUM
…..Jailbait?
BEN
Yeah… that’s his nickname
MUM
Jailbait?
BEN
Yeah. You’ve asked me that twice. Can I have a biscuit?
MUM
No. Why’s that his nickname?
BEN
I dunno…..why am I called ‘Casualty?’… or ‘Ouch’ or ‘The
Destructotron’. Actually, I’m not called ‘Destructotron’ but
I’d like to be, can I have a biscuit?
DAD
No. Get ready for school
BEN (as he exits)
Is eating caterpillars a talent?
DAD
Only if you’re a bird
