1. Linking Questions Revision

2. The playground was full of acts of premeditated violence. The building was dilapidated. The morale amongst the teachers was poor, with many objecting to acts of intimidation directed at them by the pupils they tried to teach. The cleaners had given up trying to deal with the debris, which lay scattered in every corridor and stairwell at the end of morning interval or the all too brief lunchtimes. Local drug dealers had taken to hanging about the school gates, finding too many willing customers exiting through the school gates. Yet, these terrible problems did not deter the new Rector, as he put a variety of strategies into operation. Firstly, he and the Board Of Studies began regular patrols in the playground during times when the pupils were using it, and motivated pupils were sworn in as prefects to help enforce the law. A new Staff Social Committee was set up and the staffroom was redecorated. New litter patrols were initiated using the pupils who wanted to have pride in their school. Money was spent installing a new security system and a more effective and hard-hitting anti-drugs education pack was used during Social Education lessons. 1. Look at paragraph 1.

12. During his time at High School, Harding became a cause for concern. His behaviour with female students was intimidating and there were many complaints about his inappropriate comments to them. Most problematic was his art work and he produced images of the bizarre fantasies spewing forth from his dark imagination. Despite the psychological problems that were becoming increasingly obvious in his words and actions, Harding had undoubted academic potential. He won a Creative Writing competition during his first year at the school. Moreover, his performance in Science and Mathematics tests at the end of second year was so much more advanced than his classmates that he won Awards in both subjects.

19. There are some aspects Of Wonder Woman 1984 which are brilliantly modern and refreshing. Gal Gadot is magnetic as Diana Prince, Wonder Woman herself, and she shows the strength and agency we were sadly neglected of previously. The blistering action of the opening sequence gives us a glimpse at Diana s warrior spirit and her physical abilities. Kristen Wiig is charming and funny as the conflicted Barbara Minerva, giving us an increasingly powerful contrast to Wonder Woman s constant morality. Moving smoothly from a loveable dork to a worthy villain, Wiig fills both roles confidently. But what starts as a promising set-up with enjoyable characters descends into something predictable and formulaic. Pedro Pascal does his best as Maxwell Lord, but he isn t really given enough to work with, as his motivations don t entirely match his characterisation. The final battle also has some strange visual choices, with the neon lights giving way to an almost monochrome battle surrounded by rain and clouds, flattening the action and stripping it of any potential excitement. 2.

22. Londons 1.5 million New Year's Eve display saw a number of light projections fill the sky over the O2 Arena, with one showing the NHS logo in a heart while a child's voice said: "Thank you NHS heroes. London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, said he was "proud the eyes of the world" saw London's display paying tribute to the NHS and reflecting on the defining moments of this year "and showed why our city is the greatest in the world."

25. When people heard there was going to be a movie about the Titanic, most people expected a historical account of the tragic events. More of a documentary. What else could it be? Trying to build tension would be impossible when everyone already knows the story: no-one is ever going to watch Titanic and wonder what happened at the end. However, Cameron added enough human interest and romance to the story to keep you interested, despite the inevitable ending. We get beautiful Rose, engaged to the hideous Billy Zane, and pursued by Jack, a charming rogue portrayed by the even more charming Leonardo DiCaprio. So, as we watch, it is the lives and relationships between these characters that we truly become invested in we want to know if they survive and get to thrive. 4.

28. There is something irresistible about the smell of fried bacon. It's one of the delights of being a meat-eater and possibly the single most common reason why weak-willed vegetarians throw in the towel. A recent poll of Britain's best-loved 100 foods saw bacon at number one, beating chicken into second place and knocking chocolate into third. But while one in ten Britons claim bacon as their favourite, are those rashers that sizzle so seductively in the pan what they seem? One problem may lie in a form of iron called haem that is found naturally in red meats such as beef, lamb and pork. It can trigger the formation of substances and compounds called N-nitroso compounds (NOCs) in the body which can damage the lining of the bowel. Some types of NOCs have been linked to bowel cancer 5. With close reference to the text, explain clearly how the last sentence in paragraph 1 ('But while one in ten ... what they seem? ) acts as a link in the structure of the writer's argument. (2)
