AQA AS French - 2016 Official Thread -

No it's not lines, it's 10-12 separate paragraphs - 5-6 paragraphs addressing one part of the question & another 5-6 paragraphs on the other question, with Point Evidence Explain (PEE) incorporated into each paragraph. It might seem like a lot but if you're a native speaker you'll probably have over an hour to write up your essay, and I'm sure you'll have plenty of points/arguments you can include, remember: it's only 5-6 points per question, it's just you have to split these points each into their own paragraph, explained and with examples - hope that makes sense!
Nope, you don't really need to announce the essay plan in the intro, just make a couple of points on the context of the questions as I said in my first response to you x

Check out the specification here: http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/specifications/alevel/AQA-2650-2660-2695-W-SP-14.PDF (starts from page 5) on the exact things you need to know for the exam, and make a couple plans in your head.

Lemme know if you need any more help

people doing 12 paragraphs how long are your paragraphs?! I'm A2 student resitting- been practising and got a few essays which I got 100% for let me know if anyone wants
PS I don't write anywhere near 12 paragraphs.... just saying.... :/

Do you have any on TV or music? I'd be really intreseted in structures for these and vocal and stuff

100% cinema essay corrected (found it!) let me know if you can't read it....
Sorry for how bad they are 😳😳😳

Im native and you write so well for an AS student damn!! I was told by someone here that you have to write 10-12 paragraphs tho?? What has your teacher told you about the essay structure? ( Im french sitting the As tomorrow and i havent been to french lessons)

this one got 100% and has my teacher's corrections on- I have another one for cinema but can only find the uncorrected version (Also got 100%) so its up to you whether you want that one or not
any questions/problems let me know

woo thanks so much for this, I love the intro btw, definitely goon try and use "rein d'étonnent que..." tomorrow.

Also, we've been told 3/4 points for each question then into + conclusion. For 45 mins you would have to write pretty fast to write 12 paragraphs; plus you need time to check for silly mistakes and stuff like that.

does 'rien d'étonnant que' take the subjunctive?

hi guys, this is the official thread where you can find exam discussion,details, predictions and general thoughts

merci!

So, from what i've understood we get 2 questions, so the essay plan is:

1st paragraph - PEE on 1st question
2nd paragraph- PEE on 1st question
3rd paragraph- PEE on1st question
4th paragraph- PEE on 1st question
5th paragraph - PEE on 1st question
(6th paragraph- PEE on 1st question)
7th paragraph - PEE on 2nd question
8th paragraph- PEE on 2nd question
9th paragraph- PEE on 2nd question
10th paragraph- PEE on 2nd question
11th paragraph - PEE on 2nd question
(12th paragraph- PEE on 2nd question )

????

Damn we need so many points n examples
