Question 1
Read Text A and Text B in the insert (as found in the November 2023 (0500/21 (opens in a new tab)) exam paper) and then answer the question.
Imagine that you are a student of a school which is considering whether or not to demolish an old building on its site.
Write the speech you give to a meeting of local people, expressing your views.
In your speech you should:
evaluate the ideas, attitudes and opinions about buildings given in both texts
based on what you have read, justify your views on whether the school’s old building should be replaced or reused.
Base your speech on what you have read in both texts, but be careful to use your own words. Address both of the bullet points.
Write about 250 to 350 words. Up to 15 marks are available for the content of your answer, and up to 25 marks for the quality of your writing.
