Edexcel AS French exam - 6th June 2016

Ok so here's what I got for some of the listening questions...ish. Let me know what I've got wrong.

A - augumente
B - agees
B - rester hydrate
A - rafraichir le bebe

Tout le monde est bienvenue
Meme une petite baisse peut reduire la facture
En couverant the thingy (what did it mean?) l'eau se rechauffe plus rapidement
Certains laissent leurs appareils branches

La totalite
Obtient
Applaude (or something to that extent)
Creer des nouvelles emplois

And for the reading...

The last guy never does his shopping online and had his credit card stolen
The first guy got into trouble with the law
The first girl lost money because of her children
The second girl had her identity stolen and sent bad messages to friends

I got weird looks from the invigilator for this question because the stock photos were so hilariously bad and I was biting my lip to stop laughing.

Something along the lines of 'le froide est bien gere, donc il touche les habitants moins qu'a Paris, parce que les batiments ont l'isolation thermique'.

Felt like there were something I was missing there but played the recording to death and couldn't pick up anything else. Really I just lifted it.

For the other questions, I'll try to remember but I think I've mentally blocked it all out. Will talk in English for convenience's sake.

- greater job opportunites there
- french workers are more respected
people that haven't worked a long time benefit because they can still move up due to merit
rents are lower than in Paris
the shops are open all week and close later in the week
cold is well managed, buildings have thermal isolation

Yeah same... although i didn't compare it to paris. I also found the surf one quite hard.

The surf one was hard to directly translate into English because there was so much vocab I didn't know!

My answers were roughly something like

only a small part of the population can surf
? can't remember - what was the question?
he wants to give something back to the Moroccans for their hospitality
they harvest the equipment and entrust it to the Club
now young Moroccans can initiate themselves gliding on the water

The second one was why did the guy go to morocco, and it was to practice or train. For the third i wrote to return the favour to the locals, i didn't mention hospitality. And for the fourth i wrote that they supplied equipment to the club

Sounds like you got those right, if we're both correct. Don't worry about hospitality, I added that one as an afterthought.

Yeah - I said he went to Morocco to practice when it was not surfing season in his home country.
