Sports

Approach

Frequent angles include whether sport should be compulsory in schools, the role of professional athletes as role models, and the commercialisation of sport. Examiners reward essays that move beyond 'sport is healthy' to engage with a specific tension, such as participation declining despite rising obesity awareness.

Examiners score range, not vocabulary lists — the more ways you can reword an idea on this topic, the higher your Lexical Resource and Grammatical Range marks climb.
