I just don't understand the point of the advanced information given because the only section they've cut out is Theme 1 section c which isn't even that big anyway? It's not very helpful to be honest

Try and include at least 3 tenses to achieve more marks :smile:

for writing in the advanced info they said there will be more questions to choose from. so does that mean i can basically just revise only one theme?

For French I was planning on doing theme 1 for both questions but question 2 for theme 1 was about sports and sport events so I did theme 3 instead, it's best to have back-up vocab

OP

How did the exam go?

That was quite good, translation was lovely I didn't miss any words like I sometimes do

I forgot what before and after were so my brain kept telling me avant which is French but I remembered after 5 minutes thinking about it and I felt so relived lol (antes if anyone wants to know-)

I did:
90 words - Theme 3
150 words - Theme 1

This was what I put for the translation:
Mi hermana se casó en enero el año pasado. Su esposo es español pero habla inglés muy bien. Compraron una casa cerca de la coasta. Me gustaría ir allí en el verano, antes de volver a la escuela. Dicen que el tiempo es bueno y será una semaña fantastico.

The translation:
My sister got married in January last year. Her husband is Spanish but he speaks English very well. They have bought a house near the coast. I would like to go there in the summer, before I return to school. They say that the weather is good and it will be a fantastic week.

Husband is marido or esposo and to return is volver so return to school is volver a la escuela (or other words for school) :smile:

Husband = marido

(i put en enero el año pasado but your version still has the same meaning)

"espagñol" -> español
ahi -> ahí or allí
antes de irse a escuela -> antes de volver al instituto / a la escuela / al colegio (even if it were 'irse' you would have needed 'irme' instead)
cerca del costa -> cerca de la costa

you'll no doubt be in for an 8 or above assuming you stayed consistent
