No you got it right, its meant to be 8000 as it asked how many they could feed and the 2 million was the list thingy not the people

I mean on one past paper I did I wrote 'plaza' and even though it's a word in English I didn't get a mark because the translation was town square.. it just depends how they want it I think :redface:

Ah well, do you know how others found the test? Most people in my school found it easy but I don't know how others, as a whole did...
How did everyone find the reading paper

No igcse


How did u find the igcse listening paper? I found the question about the trip of London a bit challenging. Otherwise it wasn't too difficult.
