AQA AS Unit 1 French exam 21st May 2013

The si clause was an imperfect + conditional wasn't it? So it would of been 'eviterait'?

Yeah I thought that one was quite tricky. I was confident with 'femmes' for the sentence about pregnancy but other than that I'm not 100% sure. I didn't use 'apparaitre' or 'disapparaitre' I chose 'moitie' for the sentence about smokers and 'maladie' for the sentence at the bottom of the first page, allergique for the one about a severe reaction, 'vertus' for the first sentence and I can't really remember the others off the top of my head! How about you?

Yeah I was confident with femmes and maladies too! I can't remember much else but I didn't use, probleme, disapparaitre, vertus (what does that mean?!) or temps. :smile:

It look me ages to work out in the listening about the film that she was talking about AIDs!

What did everyone put the first listening question? About drinking? Why young drink a lot, then the other consequences of excessive drinking?

Oooh good and bad. Listening was good, reading was good too (although that question on dating... Grr)
Writing, nice questions I think... Did the one on TV, might have been slightly repetitive but I thinks it's okay.

Does anyone have an unofficial mark scheme? Would be interested in what you put for the dating question, phone question and any other listenings which I'n forgetting about... Xx ooh for the listening on alcohol, was it tensions with parents, a feeling of being drunk and lots of schoolwork?

That's what I did, with an accent on the first e! The En + present participle confused me, I wrote grandant rather than grandissant - feeling like such an idiot right now!

Can't believe I put grandant! I reckon lots of people will have missed the subjunctive though?

I thought it would've too, but I actually much preferred holidays. There is so much more to write. I expect if sport had of came up it would of been about trend sports vs. traditional sports or something about the Olympics most likely.

I know but 1 mark always makes the difference doesn't it?! And after the exam I thought oh finir has the present participle of finissant (why didn't I think like that in the exam?)

And I feel like the only one who did the holidays question for the essay!

Is this for the 'il faut' one? Oui, je suis d'accord! C'est totalement injuste!

Yeah, I had loads to write- I don't write a lot usually, and I wrote more than usual- got to be a good thing right? What points did you make?
