You really sound like you're freaking out! Relax, calm down, getting panicky isn't going to solve any problems. (though I think I should panic because I haven't even done one proper piece for context yet...)


If you're not so strong in English, do the easier text (ie Look Both Ways). You are not going to be marked down just because others also write on this text and do a terrific job. You can get a good mark on it too as long as you fulfil the criteria for the section.

Me too. My marks for English have been better than any other subject, yet its causing me the most stress. I think it's because there's less certainty in English as to what you might get asked.
