    The words they will ask you to define are listed in italics in the booklet- also I think you may get a nasty surprise if you think it is simply a comprehension- they ask 6-mark qs where figures are used to help you, but it will be mainly answered with your own knowledge. :rolleyes:

    Shouldn't this be really easy? It's just like English Lang you have the booklet and your all your answers are from the analysis of the book - and a lot of them can simply be drawn from straight off the page.

    That's what I'm thinking, apart from the 9 marker about the 6 options at the end

    Haha I know

    Options 1-3 are economic

    Option 1: develop a green park for sustainable employment and research
    ~~~ Create a range of Eco-friendly businesses based around the Olympic park. These would:
    - develop sustainable living
    - lead key research in 'green' technology
    - create a range of 'green' jobs
    - promote London as a model for other cities

    Option 2: develop a new technology park
    ~~~ develop new research, managerial and professional jobs around the media and broadcasting centre. These would:
    - develop knowledge economy
    - create a 'silicon valley of east London
    - encourage large companies to the area (e.g google)
    - attract companies to lead IT research

    Option 3: create a world class sports park
    ~~~ Maximise the economic use of venues and stadiums. This would:
    - create a world-class sporting park, holding major events
    - generate jobs in the venues themselves
    - create employment in the hospitality industry and those who supply goods to it


    (I'll do the social options 4-6 in a bit) Hope this was helpful x

    Re: Edexcel Geography DME;The Olympics
    would anyone mind explaining what a co-operative is regarding the housing provided by a housing association which it talks about on page 18 of the booklet. I don't understand what this means so I'm finding it a bit difficult to define the key term!

    Thank you!

    Is anyone 'revising' for this? Apart from knowing the structure of the answers and having read the booklet a few times, I can't think of anything I can do?
