Wasn't Q3 on the listening paper C?

nahh B

I think the heart attack answer is correct; I know others who got that too.


I didn't know the word for lipstick >:C

That lipstick one was tricky, but it said 'rouge....de ma mère. ...ecrire sur les murs' I knew what rouge meant (red) and I knew ecrire was to write, and I knew 'de ma mere' meant that it belonged to the mother (whatever the object was)...then I thought to myself, what's red that belongs to my mother and can be used to write? LIPSTICK! Then I just used context (being a teen and what not) to figure out that teens write stuff on walls at parties xD

according to this mark scheme for reading I picked up every mark, apart from the jobs one where I put sailor instead of postman? I thought the paper said that his hobbies (planche a voile) suited his job? I may be wrong. also I put 3 and 2 the other way round in cities.

Could i get an A* overall if i got, A* for writing (mid) A for speaking (mid) A* for reading (high A*) and A for listening (high A)?????

i know, why is sailor not the answer?
