Journalistics,
I
wanted you to write an article or blog post discussing the change in
accents and dialects that is happening and why dialects change.
Below is a a link to a good
example of the kind of article I want that I found by going to the Guardian website
and using their search bar to search on the term 'dialect'. I had to
ignore quite a few that didn't look relevant before
finding this so keep altering your search terms but also look down the
search results quite far before you assume you haven't found anything
useful.
You can also use Emagazine to do some research if you don't have
enough ideas to include yet (see the AS Language
page for the login but the password EMC2015 has to be in capitals,
someone told me).
The aim is to take ideas from language study
and make them interesting and accessible for general readers.
The
example does assume readers understand a good vocabulary
and that, if they are bothering to read the article, that they have some
interest in - and maybe knowledge of - the subject; these are the kinds
of things you can think about when writing in the exam (and now) and
mention in your commentary.
Don't forget a bibliography for this task.

Global
travel and migration have given an unexpected shot in the arm to the
world's dialects, until recently often viewed as a quaint,
doomed relic of more primitive ...

Hope that helps!
