1B - What to do in an EMERGENCY

No one should be seriously thinking about emergency situations right now. You have Four whole days to revise, and two hours of lesson time with me (if you include the tutorial tomorrow).

But...the question was put to me today.

Well, if you REALLY end up in this situation...

*Picked BEST question in section B and it is still awful
*Analysed the extract for 2 paragraphs then can't think of ANY other case studies.

Then you STILL don't panic. I'm not going to lie, it's unlikely you're going to get an A* in it if that's the case, but you can still write paragraphs on your own experience.

How hard is it to take a minute to think of a situation like this?

"My grandad is really prejudiced about people with posh accents. One day we went into a shop in London to buy a teapot and the lady behind the counter asked 'would Sir like any assistance?', the proper noun Sir denoting respect. My Grandad really embarassed me by mimicking her accent and asking 'Are you related to the Queen?'. The past participle verb 'related' and proper noun 'Queen' show extreme prejudice on my grandad's part (then explain and apply theory).

Alternatively, you could easily think of a situation where someone shows prejudice about a working class accent, and apply theory IF RELEVANT.

Either way, I literally just made that up on the spot, so you should never be TOTALLY stuck for something to say. But DO NOT rely on it.
