Theres loads of great vocab there, hope this helps.

I posted this in a another thread a while back about sharing notes, but this is just incase you didn't see it

Happy revising

If there is an essay on TV I will cry lol..I've never done anything on it..

I was just wondering if anyone had some vocab on twinned towns, I can't seem to find any and would like to look over it. If someone would post up a couple of sentences in case it came up in the directed writing again I would really appreciate it, thank you

I know it's come up a lot but I would just love an essay on future plans! Or holidays, especially holidays in the future, haha! Very keen on the future tense.

Good luck guys on Tuesday. I wish I could do the Higher again instead of Advanced Higher, I've done literally nothing for it.

Don't worry too much about it though, and if there is a slight twist in the DW Short Essay you'll be able to make up a sentence or two to cover it. Theoretically I should also be able to help you with most questions you have as well.

I'm going to do AH French in 6th year and was just wondering if you enjoy it? Is it a big step up from higher? The 20 minute speaking test seems daunting

First of all, the speaking does seem daunting, but it really isn't anywhere near as bad as you might think. Get into a habit of thinking in French, or translating song lyrics into French in your head, might sound weird, but it helped me to become more comfortable at speaking the language.

The course is more interesting in terms of what you cover, and if you enjoyed French at Higher, and are pretty certain of an A, go for it. I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, since we didn't really do all that much in class, but its a better course than Higher in any case, and you don't just regurgitate essays like you do at higher.

I found the step up quite noteable to be honest. The reading isn't that much harder, apart from the inferential question, which is basically a questino you'd get at the end of a H English close reading. I have found the Listeing a lot harder at AH for some reason, and I don't really know why because in reality its not that much harder, just more sophisticated sentence structure, not that much of a step up in terms of language. You don't have to do a DW, and in terms of the essays you now get a choice of five, but they're longer and on more sophisticated themes, but they're not too bad really, I fully intend to wing it on Tuesday.

can anyone tell me what a 'twin town' is? & if you think it will come up in the directed writing?

i was looking at the 2007 & 2008 directed writings - which for some reason i haven't done yet - and they both mention twin towns..
has anyone got any vocab on this?
thanks!

Hey,
Could anyone tell me how to properly use the verb 's'entendre'?
It seems to come up all the time, but Im never sure if you add the 'e' to, say, 'je me suis tres bien entendu(e) avec' if only you're a girl of if you AND the person you got on well with are girls ...

You would say "je me suis entendue très bien avec.." as you are a girl, regardless who you get on well with, if you are talking about who you got on well with in the past. "je m'entends très bien" if your talking in the present.
