What country do you go to school in?
pick the subjects you enjoy the most. i'm not sure what country you go to school in but do you not already take english as a subject just maybe a different format?

Why not pick History, French and PE (assuming you are sporty and play for teams etc) History ties in well with English, and you say you love History and French, so I don't see why you shouldn't take them. Additional English definitely isn't a must as I presume you will be taking language and lit. If you would still like to be an english teacher you can take English lit A level. I didn't do geography but I enjoyed history GCSE and there are always routes into geography.

i don't think additional english is necessary to be fair, take it if you really want to and don't like the other options but you don't need it to be an english teacher- gcses in english lit and lang would be enough. i'd pick french if you love the subject.
