Please check you have one.  \nPlease complete the answer sheet with your TSA candidate number, centre number, date of birth and name. Your answer sheet should be completed in black ink.  \nThis question paper contains a choice of four tasks, of which you must answer only one. Thereis space on the question paper for preliminary notes. Your answer must be written on the answer sheet provided. No additional answer sheets may be used. Candidates with permission to use a word processor must not exceed 1200 words.  \nThe questions each provide an opportunity for you to show how well you can select, develop and organise ideas and communicate them effectively in writing.  \nIt is important that your answer is relevant to the question and addresses it directly. This is not a test of knowledge, nor is it assumed that the questions have right or wrong answers. If the question requires you to make judgements and express your opinions, try to provide coherent arguments to support your views and consider the merits of possible counter arguments.  \nBefore you begin writing, take time to think carefully about what you need to say and the ways in which the organisation of your response might help convey your message.  \nNote that your response must be contained in the space provided on a single two-page answer sheet. The disciplines involved in this are considered key features of the task.  \nTake care to show how well you can write and be concise, clear and accurate. You must complete your answer sheet within the time limit.  \nDictionaries and calculators are NOT permitted.  \n\n| | Developed and administered on behalf of the University of Oxford by Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing, anon-teaching department of the University of Cambridge.\u003Cbr>Copyright © UCLES 2019 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nPlease wait to be told you may begin before turning this page.  \nThis paper consists of 3 printed pages and 1 blank page.  \nCopyright © UCLES 2019 PV2  \nUse this space and the back page for notes etc. if you wish.
