French AQA AS level - 25th May

I put they work too little as well! Think we should be given this point haha x

I just need to hope I've done well on the essay but I'm doubting this as I only did 315 words where as some have done like 700!?

You don't need 700 words to get a good mark - if anything, your mark will be lower as there will be lower attention to detail. I've gotten 30-35 by doing around 300 words, and the recommended minimum is 250.

It's not based on quantity - exams would have no meaning if it was.

700 words for an essay is insane. For those who wrote that much, are you sure all of that was relevant + made sense? I don't mean to be rude, but the minimum amount of words they say is 200, where 250 is satisfactory, and ~300 being very good. 350 if you wanna go that extra step - but 700?! Are you guys french?!

Waiittt a second.. it is more people go to the cinema in france... but the question was:

'Les autres europeens vont au cinema':
A aussi souvent que les Francais
B moins souvent que les Francais
C plus souvent que les Francais

Which is why its less cos they go less than the French.. get me? That's what I was saying.. did you write that?

I did the noivelles tech essay, did about 4 sides everything seemed relevant:
Intro, tales about both sides of the question and the general situation.
Points for why nouvelle tech is dangerous
Health- weight and radio waves/ cancer
Sexual predators
Social networking can be used to incite riots (like the ones in London this summer)
Ruins communication
Why kids continue to use it
Useful
Peer pressure and advertising
Can be educational
One other reason I can't remember
Conclusion

As you can see that's a lot of points, which I then explained and linked back to the question so I don't see how I could have done that in 300 words considering I had like 11 paragraphs

Yep, I elaborated on about 4 points. If I do this for essays marked by my teachers, it's usually enough for an A, so you should be fine. Was talking about a campaign part of the question?

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

Yeah - the stimulus was "Le gouvernement vient de lancer une campagne pour informer les jeunes blahblahblah...".


And ^to this poster, it's quality, not quantity.

Thanks guys, I never planned on dropping French, I just wanted an insight =]
How well do you think you guys did?

I had such difficulty in using the computer stuff.... It kept playing them twice for some reason aahhh

Haha what's a danger of new technology -- not being able to finish the paper because you're trying to fix the computer!!

WOULD THIS BE RIGHT!?!?

for the Tech essay


1. Intro

2. Dangers of technology:
can access to personal information on phones ect
can became addicted to the use of technologies such as Internet which leads to non active life etc
It can get you away a lot of money by spam ect on the internet

3. Why young people still use technologies:
they don't know the real consequences and impacts about technologies etc
This generation was born with the technologies and therefore is part of their daily life
The youths are influenced by big multinational companies that encourage to use many new technologies as new phones, laptops , ipads etc

conclusion: talked about the campaign and said what would happen in the future about the youths and technology

Maybe your just a show off lad who likes to share his 'excellence' in school on a website because your too insecure to truly believe it in real life thus you want people to tell you how amazing you are on here !
Truth you ain't amazing you probably spent too long on the essay and missed parts of the reading and listening or your parents pay £19000 a year to send you to a private school with other snobs while you log in here and make people feel like they're inferior about the amount they wrote in their essay !!

I think it was OK. Definitely lost 2 marks on the listening (can't believe I couldn't work out 'dix milles' - they didn't pronounce the 'x' though!) but I think the others went fine. Not sure whether I covered enough points in my essay and whether I fully addressed the second part enough, but will have to see. A2 is going pretty well anyway so hopefully I will be able to get an A* and not needed to have resat in the first place!
