Tourist Attractions (AQA GCSE Spanish): Revision Note
Exam code: 8692
Tourist attractions
The topic Tourist Attractions specifically addresses Travel and tourism, including places of interest. Success requires describing places, discussing what you would do or should do there, and offering justified opinions on tourism
Discussions often move beyond simple descriptions (Present/Preterite) and require complex structures for expressing desires, possibilities, and hypothetical plans, making the conditional tense essential
These revision notes cover core vocabulary, practice the conditional tense, introduce advanced impersonal structures, and provide top strategies for tackling diverse exam questions
