Anything along the lines of “studying x A level has given me y skill/knowledge” admissions staff know what different A levels provide to prepare you.

Anything about hobbies or work experience/extra curriculars that aren’t directly related to your chosen degree.

You should be aiming for about 3,400-3,600 characters to include proper paragraph spaces.
