 Read both texts and then answer Question 1 on the question paper. Text A: AI art This text discusses the use of AI (artificial intelligence) such as robots to make art. ‘Woman reading book, under a night sky, dreamy atmosphere,’ I type in. Almost instantly,  an image is returned to me showing what I’ve described. Welcome to the world of AI image  generation, where you can create anything you’d care to imagine with a carefully worded prompt,  even if in reality you can’t draw more than stick figures. Want a song that sounds like it was  written by your favourite musician, a romantic poem, or perhaps a script for a movie? AI can do  all that too. Of course, digital art in various forms has been around for years. The computer is a powerful  tool for human artists, so powerful that some traditional artists consider it cheating. A computer  provides a clean, organised workspace with the freedom to correct mistakes. Look at beautiful  digital art,...

Reading Comprehension: IGCSE October/November 2025 Text A:  Time Travel  Science says time travel is entirely feasible, but probably not in the way you’re thinking. In fact, you are travelling through time right now – hurtling into the future at the impressive velocity of one second per second. You constantly move through time at this speed, whether you’re watching paint dry or wishing you had more hours to get to know a recent acquaintance. But this isn’t the kind of time travel that’s captivated countless science fiction writers and filmmakers. In such genres, we are presented with characters who invent some wild vehicle to blast into the past or spin into the future. Once there, they grapple with what happens if you change the past or present based on information from the future. Their predicament is our moral dilemma too, as we consider the implications of such knowledge. To date, noone has ever demonstrated the kind of back and forth time travel seen in science fiction or...

  Plot Summary of When It Happens by Margaret Atwood When It Happens is a post-apocalyptic short story set in a remote rural area after society has collapsed due to war, disease, and environmental destruction. The story is narrated by Mrs. Burridge, a middle-aged woman who lives on a farm with her husband, Mr. Burridge. The couple has adapted to life in isolation.

Mrs. Burridge lives in fear of this event, imagining the dangers and violence it might bring. At the end of the story, her fears seem justified when a group of strangers appears on the horizon, suggesting that their peaceful existence may soon be d...

  Songs By George Szirtes F or Helen Suzman Nothing happens until something does.  Everything remains just as it was And all you hear is the distant buzz Of nothing happening until something does. A lot of small hands in a monstrous hall can make the air vibrate and even shake the wall; a voice can break a plate or glass, and one pale feather tip the balance on a sinking ship. It’s the very same tune that has been sung time and again by those whose heavy fate has hung on the weight that they oppose, the weight by which are crushed the broken voices of the hushed. But give certain people a place to stand a lever, a fulcrum, a weight, however small the hand the object however great, it is possible to prove that even Earth may be made to move. Nothing happens until something does, and hands, however small,  fill the air so the buzz of the broken fills the hall as levers and fulcrums shift and the heart, like a weight, begins to lift. Nothing happens until something does. Eve...
