So in May I have state mandatory exam or so called "maturity exams" in English, Croatian, Math and I've chosen optional exams in Physics and Informatics. There is harder exam for which you get more points and easier for which you get less points.
So basically English exam lasts 180 minutes and has two parts. Essay and exam. It doesn't seem very hard except essay that I could get essay about something about what I'll have no idea what to write.
e.g | Quote: | Write an essay of 200-250 words.
Your essay must have an introduction, body and conclusion.
Some say it would be better if there was only one language in the world.
Others disagree.
Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion. |
e.g | Quote: | Write an essay of 200-250 words.

Some people say that there should be limits to what students can wear at school.
Others say there should not.
Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion. |

Some people say that international sports events bring countries closer.
Others say they cause bad feelings between countries.

You all seem to be good at it, so please feed me with your knowledge. Also I've made up everything in that thread that I've made few minutes ago,

Teachers don't give a shit about your opinions on these types of prompts, they just care about how your delivery is.
EDIT: Here is my advice on these three paragraph thesis papers:
Start out with a hook in your first sentence of your introduction paragraph. Your first sentence is the first impression on the reader, so don't be boring. Make your thesis very clear. Put your thesis statement the last sentence of the introduction paragraph.
The Toulmin Method (claim, data, warrant) is probably the most useful for your body paragraph.
The conclusion should reinforce your main argument. This is your last impression on the reader, so make sure you sound persuasive.

you have to discuss with yourself like why there should be only one language and what are advantages of having more languages in the world. At least GOOD 2 reasons for each opinion.

I'm on page 7 of 12-14 for my paper. They want a strong thesis and good composition don't worry too much about the choice, but chose the one you understand the most and could write a lot. Make your thesis 3 main points and support in your 3 body paragraphs in the same order. Try to not bullshit too much and do a little research.
I would say pick the first one because it's the most broad. My thesis would be something like: One universal language would help international communication, but would be nearly impossible to implement and have negative impact on individual cultures.

This are examples from years 2012, 2013 and 2014 Ill get different topic and Ill have like 45 Minutes to write it. I won't know the topic before I get to the exam.
Maximum number of points that you can get from each exam is 80. For technical faculty Math is the most important and brings 30% from possible points, Croatian 7.5% and foreign 7.5, physics 15% and grades from the secondary school 40%
So English exam isn't all that important because 80 points * 0.075 means very little.
