As level aqa spanish 2015

Wow tell me more about it! What was it like? Also was the tourism one about the dangers of tourism or the benefits or both or something completely different about tourism? Thanks!

It went OK, I was glad it was over when the 15 minutes were up. My chosen topic was relationships in the family, then my teacher chose music and sports for me to talk about. I decided to do my card on television, but when I scanned the tourism card I think it was about tourism in Spain. I would think that the cars would include benefits and negatives. The television one had questions such as - would you like to be on a reality show and do you think these shows show a positive image of the contestants. I can't remember the 2 other questions, I lied my way through them though!!! Hahaha. When's your exam?

My other one was about friendships, so both of my cards were about family/relationships but I thought I would get cards on 2 different topics

Hey, I hope your exam went well! I have mine tomorrow and I was wondering if anyone knew what the questions are on either the deporte tarjeta or the las amistades tarjeta? I wish everyone good luck!! :smile:

The sports card is extreme sports, difficult one to speak about in my opinion as I had to do it as the other stimulus card was the same topic as my nominated topic

Hey that shouldn't have happened :/ you're many to get targetas with no overlap

Unfortunately that is the examiner that has messed that up. Although some provisions can be made for this, regular rules will apply, as did for me with my GCSE. Unfortunately the whole year group were docked marks as a result of the examiner's incompetence. Hope the same doesn't happen to you guys :redface:

Does anyone have access to any past papers for listening,reading,writing before 2012? The website deletes everything after three years for copyright reasons and I've done all of them now😩😭
Thank you!

I would say sophisticated sentence starters and connectives, as well as subjunctive phrases learnt before hand before they just scream marks! Then key vocab on the topics so you are not limited to what you can say!

This is a really good tip, thank you! I'm getting so nervous now, about the writing mostly.

Look on myspanishexam.com for free resources from all topics of the exam, it's really helping me with my essays and key vocab. You can also pay £2 for native Spanish speakers to check essays for you😄

Past papers are the best tools sin duda. Also learn tenses and topic specific vocab for the essay. There's nothing else I know tbh have you done the speaking exam, if so did you do get the sports card?

Hi all. I think we need to start getting into Spanish mode here - as they say there's nothing better than good old practice! Can we start a word of the day thread for the leading up to the
Spanish Listening-Reading-Writing exam. I think that would benefit us, since quite often obscure vocab pops up on the paper. Base them upon any of the topics and subtopics we're revising for. If we each do this, we could build up a vocab base for our essays and the content aimed for the very highest ability candidates in the listening sections.

I'm happy to start this off. If you could embolden your word of the day/put it in red writing as I have done, we can then distinguish it from the rest of the posts! Hopefully we can kick start some inspired Spanish language. Good Luck!

WORD OF THE DAY

el buceo - diving
(this one comes up a lot)

What we could also do is write a sentence each, each day and people can critic the sentence and try and make it in to a mega juicy examiner's treat. I'll start this going as well:

Dudo que los deportes vayan a mejorar nuestra salud, pero hay quienes que piensan que es importante haciéndolos.

One thing I did for the oral exam which will be useful for the essay is I made a content notebook, which basically has some good arguments for each topic with examples. A lot of my content was from the AQA textbook (which is a joke tbh) and the internet

I also did a past paper and looked over old essays - which were shockingly bad but atleast I know why (basic GCSE mistakes) and tbh it was a bit of a confidence boost

adding to this sentence thing (apostrophes mean accents - im lazy ok):
La educacio'n fi'sica deberi'a ser obligatoria en los colegios y las escuelas por que es una manera de ensen'ar habiladades sociales. Es necesario que los ninos sepan como trabajar en un equipo y experimentar ambas la sensacio'n de triunfa y fracaso

Great! Can I ask... are there answers by any chance to the questions in that practice paper zip folder?
