Den skriftlige eksamensopgave består af 6 assignments (opgaver).
Assignment 1-5 fokuserer på grammatik og sprog mens assignment 6 er en prøve i skriftlig fremstilling og tekstanalyse. Du har fem timer til at besvare de seks opgaver. Det samlede prøvemateriale udleveres ved prøvens start, og der afleveres én samlet besvarelse ved prøvens afslutning. Det betyder, at man selv skal disponere sin tid. Du har 5 timer til besvarelse af prøven. Besvarelsen afleveres i ét dokument med opgaverne i rækkefølgen 1-6. Det anbefales, at man skriver sin besvarelse i skabelonen (“Template”). Assignment 1-5
Opgaverne 1, 2 og 4 vil indgå som faste opgavetyper i eksamensopgaven. Opgave 1 prøver i verbernes hovedtider (fx at identificere alle verber i præsens i en tekst og omskrive dem til præteritum). Opgave 2 prøver elevens evne til at identificere ordklasser (fx at identificere fire hhv. pronominer, præpositioner, substantiver og verber i en lydfil). Og i opgave 4 består prøven i at samle fx 10 skrevne sætninger/ytringer, som står i vilkårlig rækkefølge, til 2 korte sammenhængende tekster. I opgave 3 og opgave 5 kan forekomme forskellige prøver. Du kan fx blive bedt om at producere en kort tekst på engelsk (fx 50-75 ord), som beskriver eller passer til et billedoplæg, eller som svar på en jobannonce. Der kan i opgaveinstruksen til sådanne opgaver indgå et antal ord fra bestemte ordklasser, som du skal anvende i besvarelsen. GODE RÅD TIL ASSIGNMENT 1-5

Struktur
Anvisningerne her er selvfølgelig kun vejledende, og du er frit stillet til at gøre det anderledes. Men følger du anvisningerne, får du en god, gennemprøvet struktur i din besvarelse, og de enkelte afsnit får et passende omfang i forhold til hinanden. Opgavebesvarelsen og dens opbygning
Det er afgørende at dit essay kommer til at fremstå som en sammenhængende skriftlig fremstilling. Så undgå afsnitsoverskrifter og punktopstillinger — men del selvfølgelig ind i afsnit.
Sådan gør du
Indledning
Gør dig fortjent til at blive læst! Fang læserens opmærksomhed og antyd hvad essayet kommer til at handle om:
Opgaven handler ikke om dig! Undgå fokus på dig selv:
Eksempler Eksempler på tragtindledning (funnel introduction) ‒ Indledningen starter bredt og snævrer sig ind mod teksten Ex. 1, indledning med udgangspunkt i et retorisk spørgsmål: “Is it possible to execute a reckless deed solely for the fragile purpose of avoiding humiliation? The mysterious ways of human behaviour and development is the focus in the short story “Shooting an Elephant” by George Orwell from 1936 that is set in British Burma during the colonial time. The story is centred on a British police officer and an elephant at large, and through a modest gallery of characters we are consumed by a view on humanity in revolt.” Ex. 2, indledning med udgangspunkt i en almen erfaring: “Most people have an everyday routine. In most cases this is comfortable and gives you a feeling of structure and makes it easier to cope with life. However, there is a fine line between a well-planned and secure everyday life and a life of boredom and predictability that mechanically takes its course and distances you from life. This is exactly what the story “Stolpestad” by William Lychack from 2008 is about. It is about how the narrator’s day-to-day routine is so predictable that his life has become a condition of numbness.” Ex. 3, indledning med udgangspunkt i et citat fra teksten ““[…] This is your life, Stolpestad.” (p. 2, l. 5). That is it, deal with it. A clearly negative second person narrator takes the reader through the life of the policeman Stolpestad; a non-motivated and truly stagnated husband and father from a small town in America. Stolpestad’s life is just passing by, and he is letting it. William Lychack takes us through the inner monologue of Stolpestad’s mind in the short story of the same name, written in 2008, describing Stolpestad’s battle of facing up to the truth of his life, sadly failing, losing his battle to Goliath symbolized in having to put down a dog for a young boy”. Ex. 4, indledning med et retorisk spørgsmål “How are we going to be remembered when we leave this earth? Are we going to be remembered at all? What about all of us normal people who are not Michael Jackson, Copernicus, or Shakespeare? Their names will live forever because of their huge achievements, but not many are going to be remembered like them. Most people grow up, get a job, start a family, and pass away. Big achievements create huge acknowledgement, and most people want to be acknowledged, but maybe it is not always that easy. Many people are sure they are going to turn out great and be remembered for a good job, but what if that is not the case? What is the point of living a life not doing what you thought you were supposed to do?” Eksempler på metasprog -- som du skal undgå! Ex. 5, henvisning til opgaven: “In this assignment I have been told to include an analysis of the narration and the title.” Ex. 6, henvisning til skriveren selv: ”Now that I have introduced the story, I should like to go on …” Sprog
Eksempler Brug nogle af følgende forbinderord (diskursmarkører) til at koble sætningerne sammen og skabe overgange mellem afsnittene:
Dan overgange mellem afsnittene, fx ved at gentage ord eller fraser Ex. 5: The dog does not die immediately, and when the owners of the dog, father and son, want to bury her, they find her alive. In the ending when this is revealed, it gives the reader a great shock and allows him to gain insight into the thoughts and feelings of the policeman who is at the same time surprised. Another feature to gain insight is the second person narration that the text is written in and which means that the personal pronoun “you” replaces the more commonly used “he/she”. Afslutning
I afslutningen skal du "følge læseren ud": du skal forbinde analysens resultat med din indledning. Hvis du har skrevet en tragtindleding, så vend tragten om her, sådan at du bevæger dig fra teksten ud i det generelle som du startede i. Du kan fx bruge nogle af følgende diskursmarkører til at skabe struktur i din afslutning:
Eksempler Ex. 6: (sammenlign med ex. 2 ovenfor) “Everyday routines can easily become a habit and make you forget to question what you want out of life. This is seen in the story “Stolpestad” where the main character lives a trivial and predictable life to such a degree that the outcome is a mental numbness that eliminates him from life in the end”. Ex. 7: (sammenlign med ex. 4 ovenfor) “All in all the plot of this story is based on William’s conflict, which is present within him. He does not want to write biographies of pop singers, but he does it anyway. He does not pursue his dreams of becoming an acknowledged writer and is living in an empty space. We see a man who is living like a philistine. He does not really relate to his life, but only does what is expected of him, which makes him believe that he is living a pointless life. His job is not exactly his first choice, and the entry of the elephant shows that he has a need for living on after he has died. Living like William in an empty space, living a pointless life without all the things that are important to him, like the elephant, does not help him get acknowledged and remembered”.
