Blozzom Everyday

  Sample IGCSE Answer on Formal Letter Paper 2 June 2025 Section A: Directed writing Text B  The following text is an article about how photography has changed. I wonder how famous photographers of the past would have handled the digital revolution  unleashed in recent years? We are obsessed with ourselves, and with how others see us, and  with how we view others. We do not take pictures for ourselves (if we did, we would not share  them on social media) but to appeal to complete strangers in the vacuum of the internet.

 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.

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...
