a little bit silly or a little bit, I don't know, immature that you're repeating the same words over.

But no, you really want to show off to the examiner.

I know this.

I'm answering the question.

I'm not just going off on a tangent on something else.

So if a question is like and or, firstly, I'd say always try to do the and component where possible because it just gives you more to write about.

If you can't do the and part, that's fine.

OK.

If the question is just like and, you do not have to treat both elements in the same kind of depth or level of detail.

You can have six paragraphs on one.

You can have one paragraph on the other.

That is fine.

But if you've been asked to discuss both, just make sure you discuss both.

They don't have to be evenly discussed.

So for each essay topic, students will be given four essays and then they either do one or two from that section.

So we're still dealing with the COVID accommodations.

So previously, students did three essays from three topics.

Now teachers have the option to do the three essays from two topics.

Some still do it in kind of the older manner, which is fine as well.

So your students going in, they're either going to do one essay from, say, dictatorship and democracy and then two from the United States and the world or vice versa.
