French AQA AS level - 25th May

I put a different spin on my essay. :L

Like in the first paragraphs I went into detail about how technology damages children's health and stuff, and then into detail about how sexual content is so easily obtainable these days. Then after that I explained why young people still use them regardless, and then I went into why the campaign wouldn't work.


Do you think I'd get away with it despite the fact that I didn't give many points but I elaborated on a couple. :/

Finally someone who understood the question as well!

It didn't asked the advantages of technology but why youths still use them regardless of their dangers

and then i also used the campaign in my conclusion

That was so awful!

I think I got a bit cocky because I've been getting As in the past papers and I didn't do nearly enough revision

I literally guessed nearly all of the reading and listening

I did les nouvelles technologies for my speaking though so hopefully the essay wasn't too terrible

It can't have been 'raison' because that would mean he was right and the whole thing was essentially saying how wrong the minister was, no? I may be completely wrong. I put 'tort' because I thought it said something about his proposal being bizarre, therefore he would 'avoir tort' because he'd be wrong. Again, I also could be wrong ha!

Well. this is how I translated it .. but does it really matter whether it is BESIDES or not.. the question is clear by saind why are they influenced even though they KNOW the dangers.. it is the same thing!!

does anybody have the paper to upload ?

For the fifth listening question about the minister and music, I put C,C,C for the first 3 tick boxes can this be right??? I was sure the minister said it was insufficient so it had to be less than 40%, the survey said only 3% listened to rap and was far away from the preference of classical music and jazz., and it said old people don't like rap.

I was confident I'd get an A before I walked in. Now I'm not so sure.

It was insufficient, so surely that meant that he wanted more?
Rap was the least popular so I think the answer was classical music is more popular than rap
and yes, old people don't like rap - it didn't say they wanted to forbid it, it was the interviewee who said that.

I also got confident because I had also been hitting As in the listening/reading papers and 24s in the essays, but I have to say that this was the hardest listening paper I've ever done! Everyone in my class said the same. It doesn't help that I have a partial hearing impairment I couldn't understand the first question and put 'French adults weigh twice as much'. I can't remember if I put income for the fourth factor in the obesity question. The reading was slightly better, but I'm not confident about the grammar. It's always been my weakest point.

As for the essay, well, I picked new technologies and rambled on about criminals, sexual predators, and 'trolls' as internet dangers. I also talked about phone theft as a new technology danger. I must say, that essay title was a godsend. I did a reasonable amount of revision for it, although admittedly, I walked into the exam having not done any revision since May the 9th, so go figure

I was confident I'd get an A before I walked in. Now I'm not so sure.

Me and some friends confirmed that rap was the most popular?

WAIT!!! Did I miss read the question!!!
I talked about for my 2nd part - why children use the new tech:
To be part of a group ...
For homework help ...
Sociable ...
Escape reality ...
Ahhhh

i thought it was dangers and why they use them despite the dangers? I kind of talked about campaigns and how they didnt work then about the benefits? Do you think thats ok? x

Sounds good I think
Yeah it was why do young people still use it
I said it is essential for young people ... it is a necessity etc ...
And the reasons which you see above :/

If I remember correctly
My answers were At least 40% listened to the ready (that was A or C)
Then rap was the most popular
Then C about that women
Then 'a raison' about michael
Then C for the last one :/

I got similar one's to you, who did you put for the first reading question about the person being tetus et honnete? and for the advertising question, did you get something like V, V F?
Also, for the first question on reasons for obesity do you think they'd accept 'more people are unemployed'? thought i heard something about chomage lol

oh well =[
