A2 French Oral

I've lost my sheet that has some useful general phrases that can be used in an oral. I thought if people here added a few they've got, it'd be a useful amount of things to say. Thanks.

Do you mean phrases that could be used for the more controversial/debating-style questions? If you do, I was planning to revise those soon and will post them when I do!

thanks very much!
Have a look at the book 'Mot a Mot' - it has lots of useful stuff like this. Your library will probably have a copy or two in stock.
