AQA French A2 2015 [Unit 3]

Do you think the boundaries will be lower than last years? June 2013 was 86 for an A and this was as hard if not harder

what were the grade boundaries for a b/c/d in 2014? Thanks
for unit 3.

Yes... chose the messages question, not the personnage secondaire one. So I dealt with it along the line of themes, except more emphasis on what Joffo was trying to get across to his readers... the resilience of children, the pleasure you can get from coping with a difficult situation, the importance of being an optimist, the kindness of strangers who put themselves at risk for you in terrible circumstances, the ability to recount tragic events without bitterness, the importance of humour as a coping mechanism, and overall the supremacy of hope over fear. I loved the book.... you not so keen?

So, French society isn't racist anymore? Did you know that an arab is 5 times more likely to be checked by police than a white man? And if you are called Mohammed, its not worth applying for some jobs. Despite my qualifications, I sent about 100 CVs and didn't get called to a single job interview. The most difficult thing to stand is the daily attitude of some people, their way of looking at you with distrust. And with the current economic crisis, the situation is only going to get worse.

( this is what I can remember, it probably isn't all perfect )

Guys do you mind if I collate all the unofficial markscheme stuff and put it on a new thread so it can be all in one post/place at the front?
