Task B
You have read the following post on an internet forum called School Matters:
Ladybird
Female
UK
12:51
Post subject: Is this a ridiculous idea?
I need 3 Advanced-level subjects to enter university.
Unfortunately only two of the courses offered at my school are
suitable for me.
So, I have an idea: ask the school to let me sit Advanced-level
Italian next summer. I'd have to prepare for the exam entirely on
my own, as the subject isn't offered here.
I'm about to e-mail the headteacher to ask her opinion, but I'd
appreciate any comments on this.
Write a comment of 100-120 words to Ladybird’s post including what you think about:
• preparing for an exam on your own,
• learning a language to Advanced-level standard in one year,
• what she should do.
