I wrote this teacher marked essay to send as written work for my Oxford application to study Music, and ended up getting a conditional offer! It was also practice for my Eduqas music mock (November of Year 13), where one of the last questions asks about an element of music in Western Classical symphonic works from 1750 to 1900. I didn’t do this in exam conditions. It’s considerably longer than the amount I’m usually able to write in the exam, as the written work requirement for the Oxford application was much higher. The mark I got was 13/15.

An essay I wrote in my second year of A level Spanish, analysing how indigenous characters are presented in the novel ‘Como Agua Para Chocolate’ by Laura Esquivel. I got 34/40 marks which I think is equivalent to an A or A* grade.

This is a mind map I made to revise the most important characters in the book ‘Como Agua Para Chocolate’ by Laura Esquivel. It includes concise notes containing their characteristics and main roles in the plot, with some references to historical context.
