Edexcel A2 French (6FR04) - 14th June 2013

I don't think you need to worry because you could still do two B-grade essays and come up with an A in that exam. Is that what you need?

Our teacher often uses it when talking about Francophone Africa.. Just fortunate I'd come across it before.. There wasn't much grammar in the translation, as there usually is, mainly vocab which I really didn't like.

What did anybody do did the Historic Study RBE think of the question? I rather liked it!

Yeah I need an A for french overall. Perhaps the oral can bring me up a bit if it went well? I need 71% this year for an A overall, so if I got like 4/10 for the translation, then like 35/45 for the research essay and 31/45 for the discursive that would be 70 which would be enough I guess...though I really don't know if the research essay went well. I liked the question I'm just so annoyed I didn't really use the word 'style' as I thought it was self-explanatory in my essay but ugh do you think I'll get marked down for not answering the question?

Didn't like the translation either, had massive blanks and forgot words I know like 'homeless people'... So annoyed!!

'Third world' is 'tiers-monde'... I wanted to put 'en voie de developpement' (more PC :P) but didn't want to risk the mark!

I don't think you will get marked down too harshly for not answering the full question but if it seems you answered aspects of the question, you can still get very good marks.

It's irritating me because I did answer the question I think but they could be pedantic and just say I didn't. Also seems like everyone loved this paper so the grade boundaries probably won't be lenient . Ahhh I don't have an insurance uni I'm screwed

I'm pretty sure you'll be fine, so long as you're writing about stuff that's related to style it shouldn't be an issue Also, I think they prefer you to use synonyms instead of relying on the title, it's not like in Literature where you have to repeat the words in question, like, every four lines!

I think I did alright, was very happy about the RBE question, and I did question one about science/tech. I think I could have written more about other issues instead of too much about medical advances, but it's such a wider-ranging topic so it's difficult to include every useful point.

I don't think you will get marked down too harshly for not answering the full question but if it seems you answered aspects of the question, you can still get very good marks.

I also remember the last word bit was il a ajoutee. And that the word for homeless people was les gens sans-abri

if everyone posts what they remember we should be able to piece it together.

noooo I wrote 'sans-abris' I genuinely think I got like 1 for the translation

i'm sure they'll be lenient its only 1 letter. can you remember what was after bien que? pretty sure I forgot subjunctive.

AAAHH when i saw the style question i was gonna scream out LOOOUUD i was actually crying tears of joy. it was the most simple question EVER omg not even a two part question.
For the discursive essay i did the technology question seems like many did that question
And as for the translation...................................... well i probably got 2/10 lol. the thing is the grammar wasn't even hard it was all the vocab i just couldn't remember GGGRRRRR the amount of blanks i left is ridiculous. all the other alternative phrases, i knew there were not right. the examiner would just look at it, laugh and then cross it out so i thought let the examiner save some ink lol

i'm sure they'll be lenient its only 1 letter. can you remember what was after bien que? pretty sure I forgot subjunctive.
