The topic areas covered are: Social Issues and Trends, Political and Artistic Culture, Literary Texts and Films. A special emphasis will be made on grammar. Knowledge of the grammar and structures specified for GCSE is assumed and developed further and these will have to be used accurately and with an appropriate level of complexity for each task.
