Re: Edexcel French Listening 14 may 2012Those- I think - are all correct (apart from the Nice debacle that I'm not including in the statement). I'm not sure about part i) for the hypermarché question. I'm convinced she said 'Ça me fait de mauvaise humeur.' I may be wrong.(Original post by annnie)
These are the answers I put.
1) Advantages were Journey to work, and colleagues.
Disadvantages were Salary and Working hours.
2)1st person - Credit for phone.
2nd person - School stuff
3rd person - Music Downloads and Clothes
3) (i think i got this wrong!) Nice because lots of museums, good restaurants and things to do in evening.
4) Gad, Nowelle, Gad, Samir
5) Pocket money, shopping, internet and sports.
6) Shop assistants in bad mood (D)
Not welcoming (A)
Hard to get to (F?)
More expensive (C)
7)1st person - tell each other everything
2nd person - everyone has a job, never argue
3rd person - we go out as a family
8) Rented house, walking, nice area and portugal
9)a You can read everywhere, you can put them in your pocket.
b Are E-readers better or worse for the environment?
c Got it completely wrong!!!
10)a You can download more than 7,000 books on one machine.
b) To encourage children to read
c) Children would prefer video games to books.
These are my answers, what did everyone else get? Does anyone have a transcript?
Thanks
N.B. I got Annecy - Good restaurants, plenty of activities in the evening, and many sports facilities.Last edited by kitkat1; 15-05-2012 at 18:37. -

Re: Edexcel French Listening 14 may 2012Does anyone remember the questions?! Because some of the answers don't help without a reminder of the questions.
I personally found it VERY hard. Much harder than all the past papers. But that may be because the sound yesterday wasn't very good. Headphones would help a LOT. Rewinding would've too. -

Re: Edexcel French Listening 14 may 2012Overall, I thought that this was quite a tricky test as edexcel were CONSTANTLY trying to trick with the way recordings were stated. I hope because of this that the grade boundaries are Low!
P.S. Good luck to Everyone with the reading exam on Thursday morning!Last edited by the A* guy; 15-05-2012 at 18:44. -

Re: Edexcel French Listening 14 may 2012Ok(Original post by the A* guy)
Can you please post any more details for all the Questions you can remember?
Q1) Had to list the advantages and disadvantages of a person's job.
Q2) Had to tick the correct box. Who bought what with their pocket money? The options were: clothes, phone credit, music downloads and school stuff.
Q3) Had to choose from NICE, DIJON or ANNECY. Then tick 2 boxes for the correct reasons why they decided on the place.
Q4) Mobile phones in schools. 4 questions - Who doesn't use them in class, who uses them in class, who is allowed phones at school, and who says that teachers know they break the rules?
Q5) A girl spoke about herself, and you had to tick the 4 things she mentioned.
Q6) Each person spoke individually. Had to write the correct letter. It was about Hypermarkets.
Q7) Tick the correct box. Family relationships. Options were: everyone has a job, we go out together, we tell each other everything and we never argue.
Q8) Had to tick correct box. Had 3 options for each part of the question. Where did they stay? What did they do? What did she like? Where is she going next year?
Q9a) Name two advantages of an E-reader.
b) What question do people ask
c) what does the presented say about recycling E-readers.
Q10a) What does the presented like about them?
Q10b) Why would parents buy them for their children?

Re: Edexcel French Listening 14 may 2012I feel quite good for it, my target is an A grade, and if i'm LUCKY and the grade boundaries are LOW, I might just get it!
Also the Olympics seems like a Very possible topic, I think it could easily be the topic of the passage, For the one written question.

Re: Edexcel French Listening 14 may 2012Guys, I am kind of paranoid, because I changed some of my answers.
Like I know it said to put a line through if you want to change it, which I did for the ones I wanted to change, BUT for one of them, I changed it, then wanted to change it back, so what I did was write a note for the examiner beside the question (LOL), but I am just scared I have lost loads of stupid marks over it!!!! I have A* for Writing and Speaking, but I am paranoid that I have ruined my chances over changing my answers! Stupid me -_- -
