Some Great Tweets From Students Over Bono Showing Up On Their English Exam

Me fail English? That's unpossible.

English Paper I has come and gone, with the biggest talking point being the fact that Bono featured on one of the comprehension questions. The U2 frontman's speech to students of the University of Pennsylvania featured, with a three question follow-up:

1. Outline, in your own words, three of the challenges Bono issued to students at the University of Pennsylvania when he spoke at their graduation ceremony.

2. Identify, and give your personal response to any two observations made by Bono in the above passage that made an impact on you. Support your answer with reference to the text.

3. Based on what you have read in the extract above, do you agree that Bono is both engaging and inspiring in his address to the graduating students? Support your answer with reference to both the content and style of the extract.

Many students were delighted to see him. Many were not.

Little do they know he'll be downloading himself to the Maths, Geography and Construction Studies exams as well.
