Alrighty, I mainly looked at the ones nearer to the back so I'm afraid I can't help you with those earlier on but I may be able to ask her if you're desperate to know:smile:
Celebrations was
a) Father (old music)
b) Amelie (disappointed with gift)
c) Mum (guests)
d) Mum (didn't like the roast)

They split up because he made no effort to find a job (you can't just say he's unemployed), he kept buying cigarettes and wouldn't stop smoking them and she also found him looking in her bag for money. Any two of those three would be good. I don't know what he said in defense sorry I forgot! But the advice was to learn to speak to each other and think about having kids.

The first was fast/comfortable and the second was that you can read or sleep and one of the disadvantages was that there's not enough space to sit down but I don't know which.

Ummm that whole page was
a) a long time ago
b) money

a) her parents were not happy
b) temperature

a) community spirit
b) they were optimistic about things getting better

Some people were debating about the school meals one, it was P/N (In my teacher's opinion) and of the environmental one, answers were floods, forest fires, deforestation and the drivers were putting up with traffic jams.

There we go, hope that's helpful for you and everyone else!:smile:

Yeah that's what I put! However, some people say that ''they should consider about their child''. Not sure which one is correct.

In June 2013 the boundaries were 20 something for A*, so hopefully it should be the same. Tbh I found the 2013 listening paper quite easy in comparison to ours, so if i could argue with the examiners about this I would say it should be lower.

You're all welcome:biggrin:
I doubt that she'd give it to me since the whole department were only given one but I will ask just in case, and if so post it on here:smile:

Aw thanks, your school sounds really nice. My teacher hasn't even asked me how my paper went lol considering only 12 people do French. Moving schools for Sixth Form anyway though :rolleyes:

Yeah that's true. I wouldn't mind getting an A on average as my Controlled Assessment for Writing and Speaking was A*, so literally getting C's and B's will still get me an A grade. However, my teacher said to me she'll be very upset if I don't get an A* overall and she's a very kind person so I don't want to disappoint her on results day :wink: I'm literally hoping that they do like 25 for an A* for both listening and reading. However reading might be a bit higher as everyone did well on that paper.

Ah, well I screwed up on my speaking so was relying on my reading (which I think was good) and listening (i dunno about this :frown: ) to get me my target grade.

She's probably joking


i thought my teacher was joking - honestly ! But she's an AQA senior examiner so i guess she won't lie :smile:
Would anyone be interested if I put together a full unofficial mark scheme? It might take me a while to get the papers though.
