edexcel does like to surprise us a lot. think they chose game of polo bc the paper 1 team chooses questions different to 1r. loved the speech q

I just noticed whistle is the longest text not to come on paper 2 main… lol. Still confident it might be Sarajevo but I’d keep watch

I don’t take R but I’d be looking at Still I Rise, then Disabled, then The Necklace and other texts. Best of luck!
