French aqa listening exam 14th may 2012

guys was it a furnature shop or a factory??? im really confused please tell me what you all put))<333

the problem with our exam was that it was in the hall, so everything just echoed, i was confident because i had done all the past papers can got 60 UMS

what grade would you say i got, if i think around 28/40 if i'm pessimistic, or 32/40 if i'm optimistic, please tell me because i'm curious
for curry i wrote that it is spicy
for the tart, i wrote that it had too much sugar

for steak i wrote that he ate too much and he got sick (i heard malade - i think)

for the last question i had that his problem was that on friday night, his girlfirend didn't see him, and he thinks that she is with her mates/new bf

for the bed question, did you say that he worked in: a factory, a hotel, or a furniture shop.

Please answer my questions because i am very curious

ok because some peopel are saying it was a factory and others are saying it was the shop..i put factory but i was told i was wrong but someone just said im right/!?!? ahhh so confusingggSSSSSSS

For the Mali environment question what did you put???

I put B then D i think (wood for cooking, try encourage use of renewable energy)
and A and C (government one, solar power is energy

Everything is right apart from the solar power energy one, it was pessimist for the future.

Everything is right apart from the solar power energy one, it was pessimist for the future.

no it was optimistic??? you really think they'd elect somebody who was pesimistic????

No it was pessimistic cuz she said that if people use solar panels then they won't use wood and she said she is pessimistic for the future of wood lol

Hi do you remember what you put for the 2 written ones
about camping and the boy and his girlfriend

Thanks

yeah so if people use solar panels then surely thats opt because shes saying they wont need to use the wood which nobody can afford lmfao?

My whole class thought is was really hard. I'm undecided. There were more written questions than on the past papers right?

I found it most stressful when the first one played, I had no idea LOL. I think I put homelessness, and then for the second one racism because I'm pretty sure she said that this hotel were not letting black people rent rooms. I thought only two questions on the first page was quite odd.

I can't remember them all in order, but I'll say the ones I remember.

With the jobs one, I remember putting C. I can't remember what it was, but the other ones were a shop assistant and that he works all year, which I'm pretty sure were false. For the second part I said he likes working with children, it was definitely not that it was well paid, but I wasn't sure that it wasn't that he didn't get presents, because I definitely heard 'cadeux', but I thought it was that he gave them presents or something (LOL pedo). For the second girl I put that she has wanted to do her job for a long time. I have no doubts on this one. I put that she did not like the clothes, I am certain on this too because she said her boss is (gentile) and that the pay is 'bon' but she said that she doesn't like her clothes as she has to wear them all night.

For the other jobs page I put that he worked in a factory, I was pretty sure on this but my friends got different answers. I definitely heard 'fabriquer les lits' and I'm pretty sure that he said they send them to furniture shops and hotels, but they have to be really careful with the hotel beds and has to test that they are comfortable so that the guests get a good night's sleep. Hence I thought the second part was to make sure they had a good nights sleep. With the girl, I'm sure she said she was the envy of all her friends for a). I can't remember b) though.

With the question about the party, I can't remember what I put, but I think I got them right, they were quite easy.

The food question went ok. The curry was too spicy. She said she needed more to drink and she only ate a bit too. Also the tart was not sweet enough. I have no idea about the steak and everyone I asked put a different answer. I put it was dry, but it was a complete guess. Everyone else seems to have said it was too rare, lol failed :s. The cake had too much cream I think.

As I said the only ones that were really hard to me were the two written ones. The one with the guy who went on holiday with his daughter, I got that she did not want to go because it always rains, I think she said something about her friends going camping and it being noisy but I really didn't know. For the second part I hadn't a clue. In the end I put that he had a bad holiday/traffic was bad/ he felt alone and for the last part I put his daughter went to stay in a hotel and he had to pay a lot. I did hear something of the sort, but I wasn't sure.

For the last question, I put that she broke up with him last Wednesday. I definitely heard last Wednesday but the breaking up was a stab in the dark. I put as a reason that they had different interests. A complete guess, I had no idea. For the last bit, I said that he was going to try and change, but didn't know if he could, and that he regretted it and cried (I heard the pleut or some sort of the verb pluvais, and I think that is used for crying). I did hear parts of all the answers for the last bit, but they were are really guesses.

I can't remember the answers to the Africa bit.

That's all I can remember of the questions. Writing this is actually making me feel like I did better than I thought.

Anyway about the boundaries, a couple of years ago it was 26/40 for an A* and 30/40 for full UMS. Personally, I thought this was harder, so I hope around mid 20s?

I know this is long, but I needed to blurt it out, I've been really worried about how it went and I wanted to know from others exactly what they got, so yeah

the old man doesn't work all year he only works in december and october and he dresses up as santa and he loves his job cuz he loves children.
He cried and couldn't study cuz he was always crying and crying is pleurer not pluvait. lol hope u did well
