Help with Paper 2 of the English GCSE from 2004

Paper 2 is worth 30% of the final grade. It is divided into two sections. Section A requires a choice of 1 from 2 questions based on the clusters of poetry drawn from different cultures and traditions in the AQA Anthology. Spend about 45 minutes on this.

Section B requires a piece of writing which informs, explains or describes. You are advised to spend 45 minutes on this, including 5 minutes for planning and 5 minutes for checking.
