Did anyone find this year's paper confusing/ vague? Personally I don't, but some of my classmates do think so.

Yeah I clocked she was a parrot, since the passage was talking about parrots before. I wrote about him losing the bird and then getting it back again? And for the second I wrote the changes and that he wouldn't leave bc he's a good listener, therefore a good worker etc. For the last I just made up stuff like him moving away, freeing beryl etc. Wby?

Wow that would be A*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I said how he was living in an empty flat and he was lonely for the 1st bullet point. For the second I said the changes and how he was also a good listener
and for the last one i said about him leaving the door open for beryl and how she hums and tweets about theme tunes

I wrote quite a bit more too, it was too much to say on here lmao. A* really? I was quite worried thought I'd messed it up. What did you get for the 15 bullet points for the people who don't have a parrot?

Yeah I know, what did you get for the first part of the question tho, the arguments against having a parrot. The wellbeing part was easy imo.

for arguments against having a parrot I said people mistreat them, they're easily malnourished, kept in small dirty cages, left alone for long hours, illegal parrot trading is a lucrative business, people feed them the wrong kind of food, some people just buy them for decoration/often abandoned etc
