A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is totally selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the
preservation of our woodlands.
He does this so he can make a profit of £200. What do you think of this
way of making a living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the
birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are
no wrong answers.

Why didnt you ask to do the higher paper?
I was in top and had no choice but to do higher (only got a B but still, i hate maths with a passion) Many of my friends who were limited to doing the intermediate paper were able to do higher if they asked to.
Didnt see what they had to lose seeing as higher was only an additional bit on the end

Because a B-grade on Intermediate is easier to achieve than B-grade on Higher, and I would have been more likely to get a C on the Higher paper. I was advised by the teachers, and tbh, they know best.
As a result, my lowest grade at GCSE was a B, of which I got 3

Cold, out of their environment, a bit downbeat, and just generally agitated at their loss maybe? Just a few things these poor squirrels will encounter.
