G.C.S.E's

Grrrr. My English teacher has told us that we are doing our next piece of coursework we are doing as a speaking and listening, but we don't actually have to do it like that, as the exam board states you can do an essay. I think she wants me to fail, my GCSE is already in enough of a mess because of the speaking and listening that you actually have to do.

I dont understand, instead of doing 5 pieces of coursework you will do 4 and one is speaking and listening?
