The Romanian paper was very nice this year, I might be a little biased because I am fluent in Romanian. The topic of pollution and tourism was very common on this year’s paper and related a lot to what is going on in the world at the moment so I feel like it was quite easy to answer since a lot of young people have read a lot about pollution and climate change over the past year.

Section 1 was relatively easy because the questions were related to the text given so you could always look over the text in case you needed ideas to answer the questions.

Section 2 (the minimum 300 word essay) was a bit tricky, you had to pick between two essay titles. Both were quotes, one was from an article and the other was from Greta Thunberg and you had to express your opinion on it. I chose the first one because I was able to manipulate the question a little and change it around to suit me so it was quite okay. Overall I feel like it was a very nice paper.
