    1) You need to understand the basics of exchange rates and that question should be relatively simple. If you are doing A2 then you could also talk about the J curve.

    2) Again that is not a particularly technical question. There is quite a lot to look at but I'm not going to list all of the possible policies to reduce unemployment. You need to think about the different kinds of unemployment and the situation in the UK economy.

    3) It is important you understand how the price of oil impacts on the final price of goods and services as well as commodities like petrol and diesel, and what affect this has on the macroeconomy.

    All the questions you have asked are fairly basic, so I suggest you make sure you thoroughly understand the theory in your textbook before trying to tackle essay questions.
