English Language is really interesting - I guess you just have to be well informed in general to perform well.

I actually found it really interesting too in retrospect, coming from someone who never reads/watches the news, wasn't too informed and still managed quite well.
I liked the course, the essay writing was the only part i didn't like, but all-in-all it was good :)

Gonna do it for breadth next year ?

I probz am, because it was just so interesting.  Shame about my awful teacher, as she ruined it but it was still a very good subject.
