How was the paper guys? i think it was darn bloody difficult. My geog teacher always say write one paragraph (4-5 lines ) for one point for describe/explain questions. then its abit hard to do that for 6b and 6c. i only got like 3-4 paragraphs each for the 8 and 12 mark question on environment. manufacturing was also voom. alot of crap for manufacturing. are there actually 4 points to write about for 3a? 3c also very crap. i cant find 7 point there either.
