first reply hehehar :colondollar:

I'm a little scared for this paper although in my mocks I got a fairly good score. I'm just kinda scared of the listening and those AWFUL FILL IN THE BOXES QUESTIONS (can we start a petition to remove those pls pls) but working on it rn. I also have a clash on the 20th so im not very happy :bawling:

Will comment closer to the time... vielleicht? Perchance?

Ngl mocks were such a breeze. I guessed like all of the listening and still got a 9.

Oh my gosh, me too. I hate the fill in the gaps/boxes questions. It is so difficult. ☹️

p much everyone doing the same film and book 😭😭😭 so unserious .... also hard agreeing on the fill in the boxes question it sucks so BADDD ... i weirdly find the classic lit question way easier in german than in french. like doing both ive realised how the exams differ even though id think that theyd be the same (french has a WAY more formulaic speaking card but harder classic lit). anyway im kind of not thinking about paper 1 bc im fine on it and also have politics in the afternoon☹☹ anyway how do people feel like their speaking went ??

i think my speaking went okay, idk if i did the right thing for my card cause it was on integration but i talked about racism and politics at the same time?? irp was also okay (i think, i hope, i pray), + i tried to say everything that i wanted to say
