Answer 1

Most of the English classes especially Advanced English since it will improve your writing skills the most. Obviously, if your school offers journalism classes you should take that.  

Answer 2

I would obviously recommend all the english courses. Also take maths as this will always be important through life. For me History course are also a big plus. Society and culture also looks like a bonus. Economics will be a great course to study if you would like to write on the more business side of things.
