French AQA 18th May 2009, AS Reading, Writing, Listening.

Well, what do you think?

(I thought it was quite easy, I did German on Friday and I thought, in comparison, French was easy...)

I found it easy, in fact it worried me at how easy it seemed.

The essay topics were fab as I'd thought about them for my speaking exam, I ended up picking the one on the internet

All my exams are over now - woo!

I also thought it was relatively easy! And the internet writing question was a gift- i'm so glad that came up!

The only annoying thing was the CD that I had (which kept on sticking) but as I did my writing and reading first, I had loads of time left... :smile:

What did everyone else think?!

I found it OK, luckily, except stupid me managed to answer Q1 in English, luckily noticed though soon after and scribbled it all out and wrote in French!

I answered the essay on Internet and wrote about 3 pages. Just hoping it was enough.

I found the German exam really hard last Friday though. So glad this went well!

I wrote the whole first question in French xD

I was thinking "Woooow, that was easy :biggrin:

" then looked over and was like, "........@!&*!" Had to scribble it all out but I got everything back in :P

Essay question was good, I chose the internet too. I worry I've waffled though.

That's really weird, because I thought this French one was a bit harder than the German one on Friday. I know the internet question should have been easy... but my concentration wasn't a 100% there and I don't feel like I did my best.

But the listening and reading, they seemed easy enough.

French was so much easier than German
All our class wrote like 500 words for the writing, i probably made loads of mistakes

I guess it was easier than I expected, but I know that I didn't do my best, especially with the grammar section about the singer! I was like :confused:

. The essay I wrote was so bad, and I did try to fix it with the fifteen minutes or so that I had spare, but I think it was beyond redemption. :frown:

Oh dear

I chose internet too.

^ Oh, I don't know, but I said chante, present tense, 'cos of depuis. :o:

It should be "depuis" + present tense (elle chante) but I think they will also accept "elle chantait" as they have done in the past.

I think it should have been elle chante.

I was annoyed at that doping question on the I'm a celebrity bit. I didn't realise avouer ment admit, so got that one wrong.

On the whole though, I really liked that paper. It was soooo much easier than the German one on Friday. The essay topics could have been a bit better, personally I didn't really like any of them. I went for the friends one. Think it was fine though.

Oh, and how nice was that grammar section!!

voudrais

depuis was after the verb though

and yes i used present tense (i hope i didn't change to perfect at the last minute :shifty:

)
