Essay

The paper

8 topics

Write two essays, one from each section, in about 1000 to 1200 words each. 125 marks an essay, 3 hours for the paper.

These topics are original, set to the pattern of the 2017 to 2025 papers rather than taken from one. There is no model answer to an essay. Write it, and bring it to the Telegram group.
