We've concentrated on Media and Literature so much we've hardly done any work on Language. I just hope it goes okay, no idea what to expect though.

Write to Pesurade/Advise/Argue/Describe / 2 of them together.

Tomorrow I have non-fiction/media and argueing/persuade and Thursday I have poems from different cultures and explain/inform/describe.

Same as me. :8

Hope it's clear what to do as we've had no lessons on it.

English Language is the one subject that I really need to pass.
I'm not very good at it though. :cry:
If not all, most of my A Level courses need at least a C.
