Biggest trick of all was that ressentir doesn't mean to resent...

but in context resent would have made no sense because you can't resent the benefits, you would resent the rest, so it wasn't that tricky.

oops.....

I thought the listening and reading were both quite hard. I had to really rush the end question in the listening and that 8 mark essay on extreme sports because I spent way too much time on question 3.
On the reading I found writing the essay ok, and managed to finish it in 15 minutes! (Not intentially - I just fuond it quite easy to think of ideas). Then I sat there and looked through my work, made a few changes and twiddled my thumbs for the rest of the time.
And for the mans job, I put a manager of the theatre and for the womans job - a dressmaker (I know thats completely wrong).

Yeah, I finished the reading one really early too... I found the first and second Q's much harder than the rest for some reason......

Yup, i especially didn't like the one where you had to find the equivelant french words - i'm useless at that, and it was 8 marks.
On that question about the beach in Paris, there was this question asking why the people weren't allowed to .... something beginning with b ? I just made up an answer and said it's bad for your health.

I didn't know what all the words meant in the equivilent Q...... didn't help much.

i found the listening impossible didnt help that i ran out of time. reading and writing were ok ish but i really messed up the listening, anyone else find it hard or was that only me?????

I thought both papers were quite good, slightly harder than past papers though. I finished the reading in an hour, so I had another hour of just sitting there doing nothing :frown:

Does anyone know what the equivalent of 'chefs' was? That one was driving me mad! I couldn't find it anywhere, so in the end I just put 'ouvriers', even though I know that meas workers.

It did say 'a votre avis' though, so I just said 'parce que c'est dangereux.' That could be right though because rivers sometimes have strong currents, so it is dangerous to swim in them. And what you said could also be right because the river might be polluted.

The grapes question was so silly!

I got well confused on that question where you had to write down what the people's jobs were....I put that the woman was a fashion designer and the man was leader of a theatre society :confused:

Ooh I hope that river is very polluted!
Was anyone else hot today? I was absolutely boiling in my exam, and was seriously overheating. And the windows in the room were stupid ones that only opened an inch :mad:
