iGCSE First Language English(Extended) HELP

Hey, I am resitting the iGCSE First Language English (Extended) paper this November and I am not confident about it.

I did the Core paper last year and I got a D grade overall and for some reason I am put in for the Extended paper(which is harder). I have been told I can't be withdrawn because it would "cost £250" and my my teacher isn't willing to pay for it and that I can't switch to the Core. If I get a D, I have to do it again in the summer(which I do not want to do).

I am told that I got a low B in my written coursework and a F in my speaking and listening.

If I were to get a C. I would need to get about 28/50 in the exam.

I can easily get 16/20 in question 3. 0/10 in question 2. 3/20 in question 1. That is 19/50. This is what I have been getting on average in the mocks I have been doing at school. That is 19/50, which isn't going to get me my C.

How would you encounter question 1 and 2 and how would you prepare for those questions?

I would appreciate if anyone could help me.
