    English Advanced Trials

    my teacher mentioned that we should use two related texts also, as a back up, but in the past 5 years or so, the hsc exams (pretty sure trials as well, as they aren't really different) haven't asked for two related for belonging the question usually asks you to relate to one, but just have a...
