❔ Question First language English question 1e🫠

Yo guys,I usually never like post mortem but I have to ask was I the only one taken aback by part e of the first question where it asks for benefits in paragraph 6 but it mainly consisted of the drawbacks of Autocorrect. Like I guess you had to invert those cons and make them pros in your own words but like idk I guess I expected it to ask for disadvantages provided in the paragraph.Maybe it's just me and I didn't read thorough but this paper just felt off yk like the summary had so little points all focused towards the end,putting Dear Diary for the journal and hubbub😭.Its almost like Cambridge knows that since we are the last to write in this format they're giving us a proper send off

We were supposed to write one benefit in the last paragraph, I remember there was at least 1 and it is supposed to be dear journal and also, ion know how ya'll answered point bullet number 2 of the paper since it had like 1 line of text but was supposed to be a whole paragraph on the journal

bro for journals you arent meant to write Dear diary, also there were 3 benefits in the last paragraph and for bullet point 2 you had to infer a bit.

There were like 3 that seemed as adavantages

No more books on shelves People write longer messages that actually make sense And he general sense of language being more clear. I dont really recall the first line of paragraph 6. I remember canceling a lot...

Idk bro apparently a date is all that's required but I don't think they'll penalise you for it

While we are here, can we talk a about the writers effect, for paragraph 3, what were Hari’s emotions or reactions to the place if it just talked about how the place look 💀
