Took me like 5 minutes to realise Enzo was the ****ing name of a cat, and when it finally hit me everything made a whole lot more sense! I said something like they couldnt believe he found his way home...somethibg like that! But you gotta love Enzo, he made my day!
Thank you for existing, Enzo, you clever little 'Chat'

Enzo summed up the whole exam tbh. Am I the only one who found the listening really easy?

I could not hear the recording at all. I think I should have told the invigilators.

Hello
Have you seen any unofficial mark scheme for the french reading paper?
Do you remember the answer of the question " state an advantage of brittany?" I think it was something similar.

Lucky you. I am so annoyed I think I have ended up with a U, I wanted to get at least a D.

Hang on did Enzo walk to Paris? Or was that just me? I thought they lost him before they went to Paris... And that he walked there. Now I realise that was probably wrong...

What answers did you get for the A* listening question?
Did you get :
14-15 years old
They spend most of their free time in their rooms
Smartphones are becoming more popular than the TV
Girls prefer cultural and artistic activites

Not sure for the part 2:
Children said they prefer to watch sporting competitions on TV and They don't have enough space to do their PE lessons?
And choice of sports is influenced by the pleasure they get
And choice of sports is influenced by their friends

I feel like my answers weren't specific now and I feel I may loose out now...I am so worried :frown:

Yay I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

Original post by stressedoutt

I said 14-15
They spend most of their time in their bedrooms
They watch tv on their smartphones ( a guess)
Cultural and artistic activities.

Part 2
They prefer not to do competitions and they like to spend time with their friends (don't know how I phrased this..)
Influenced by friends and fun

Hey! I found the listening decent - not TOO hard but not too easy either so... Idk but, my answers for part 2 were:

I got that they said...
They prefer to watch TV (though I'm sure I wasn't specific enough as you were)
They have to do sport at school

Also, I got that they are influenced by...
Whether it is a social activity
Sports that can motivate them

Idk if these are right but I'm hoping someone will post a mark scheme! I'm dying to know if I'll get an A* overall. I'm hoping for a minimum of a B in the listening.

Hey if anyone remembers the reading, does of any you remember that grandparents answers passage: like for example:
It said who wasn't allowed to do the water sports
Now I said that the brother wasn't allowed------ when they were looking for a general answer
I think the answer was you have to be at least 14 yrs old and swim well
I still mentioned being able to swim well, will I get one mark at least?

And she wants to come back the following year and be more independent, and spend less time with her family?

Yeah I think you'll get at least one mark. Remember there are several accepted always so you may get 2.

I put the same as you for the following year question.

Did you put that the grandparents cooked?
