Designed as a booklet, so contains both articles (extracts from larger articles found on The Guardian website - links are below), all questions for Section A and B and space for students to write their responses. Can be used as a mock exam, lesson resource, cover or homework task. Note: I do not own or claim to own anything within the articles used in this paper. I simply wrote the exam questions based on them and compiled the booklet. The fee is for that part of the exam paper.
