Read the full explanation
This overarching theme requires students to understand and discuss issues that affect their immediate environment and the wider world. It is divided into four main topics: home, town, neighbourhood and region; social issues; global issues; and travel and tourism. Students must learn to navigate vocabulary related to these areas, enabling them to describe their local area, discuss social challenges such as charity work or healthy living, explore global concerns like the environment, and talk about holidays. This broad theme tests the ability to connect personal experiences with wider societal contexts.
Your focus

Theme 2: Local, national, international and global areas of exam tips
Examiner Tips
- 💡Create mind maps linking the four topics within Theme 2 to see how vocabulary can be reused across different contexts.
- 💡Practice expressing opinions on broader societal issues, as these often require more complex vocabulary and structures than personal topics.
- 💡Familiarise yourself with the specific vocabulary for social and global issues, as these frequently appear in reading and listening comprehensions.
Common Mistakes
- Treating Theme 2 topics in isolation; remember that vocabulary from 'home and region' often overlaps with 'travel and tourism' or 'environmental issues'.
- Overlooking the 'international and global' aspect; ensure you can discuss issues beyond your local town, such as global environmental problems.
- Neglecting the specific sub-topics; make sure you are familiar with the detailed vocabulary for each of the four main bullet points, rather than just general terms.
