Re: Edexcel GCSE French Reading 17th MayIt's unlikely you'll get the mark because it didn't say 'les enfants'. What was the answer to that question, though? I put that Droopy not liking baby's toys making noises might be bad because he could scare the families with babies. The scare bit was a bit of a guess, though.(Original post by Kakashidude101)
For the droopy one, do u think they will accept 'children' as an alternative to 'babies'
Apart from that question it was a relatively easy paper
The Droopy question seemed to trip everyone up. As a result of it, I didn't get time for the last question, so I had to select random boxes for it. Who knows, I might have hit lucky with the boxes I picked.
The rest of the paper was fine. One or two tricks here and there, but that tests your attention to detail. For instance, in the question about the girl from Quebec, she talked about all the colours of Autumn, and one of the boxes you could tick below said 'She talks about the colours of Spring'.
Hoping for an A* overall in French, but the boundary is relatively small. 270/300 UMS points needed. Will just have to wait until August to see the final result now...Last edited by Globox; 18-05-2012 at 09:35. -

Re: Edexcel GCSE French Reading 17th MayThe colours one was quite reasonable if you read it carefully though as they were all orange/yellow/red etc.(Original post by Globox)

I agree that the Droopy question was oddly hard - there were several key words that I couldn't get!
The last one was better than other ones in past papers, though, so it was a generally OK paper

Re: Edexcel GCSE French Reading 17th MayI thought the last question was pretty good compared to past papers and, apart from the fact i didnt tick the box where it said he is now a journalist cos i read he wanted to be one but missed the part where he said it motivated him to become one ¬_¬, i think i got that whole q right
For the the second part of q8, i was trying to figure out what the answer to the first one was, but then realised that was the example xDLast edited by Kakashidude101; 18-05-2012 at 15:05. -

Re: Edexcel GCSE French Reading 17th MayI think one was that he was inspired at college to become a journalist.. The other that he was interested in anything that was going?(Original post by Kakashidude101)
