The grade boundaries always go up in the summer unless the exam was horrible. My D1 paper was so terrible that you could drop almost 30 marks and still get an A! I wish you good luck again for tomorrow! Don't worry, you'll do great!!
I might politely ask for some of my homework back tomorrow, haha. We get the work we do in class marked sometimes, but that's about it.
Thank God I wasn't going crazy. I always mix things and people up, so I thought that we probably didn't talk about Picasso but some other Spanish artist, lol. You have to learn every detail about the painting?
Woah, that sounds hard, but you can add your own interpretations to the details so that's always a plus
We started off learning about the Spanish Civil War to learn more about Francisco Franco. My teacher said learning about the Spanish Civil was is boring because you have to talk about battles etc., but you have a lot more to talk about with Franco. In our last lesson we talked about 'Las Mujeres bajo el Franquismo" and I think I could talk a lot about that in my oral exam and in an essay. We also talk about what life was like for different kinds of people during Franco's leadership and how Spain changed as a country. Here's a vid of the way women were meant to act during Franco's leadership (It's so sexist):

She also says she's a little deaf, even though she doesn't want to get her ears checked, and we constantly have to repeat stuff to her in class. She mainly says "I didn't hear you" or "I didn't hear a word you said" in class and I don't want my oral exam to be like that!
I might read some Spanish literature this summer
It's easier to watch a Spanish film than to read a Spanish book. I understand what you're saying. I think I may just focus more on the A2 content and the things we have to do in the exam than reading Spanish articles after my January exams. I might do a past paper too, or a section on a past paper
Learning about Andalucia sounds very interesting. I think I should have learnt about a Spanish speaking country because my geography is appalling. I literally don't know where any place is in Spain
I'm finding the general topics okay. We haven't gone through everything yet, but I think I like the immigration topic and the environment topic a lot. We started the Science and Technology topic last week, but I missed that lesson
I'm actually looking forward to studying Volver because I love Almodovar and have seen many of his films. I've already seen Volver and found it all right, but I've watched tons of his old films with Carmen Maura after I watched Volver so it'll be interesting to watch the film again and see her in a new light as an old woman. I just watched La Piel que Habito today and it's such a sad and strange film. Have you seen it?
