    If you'd like you could PM it, and I could look at it for you.

    You need to make sure to state that it's your opinion throughout the piece and don't keep referring to the title, using the same verbs etc.

    There are many different ways in saying "In my opinion". Please don't use "A mon avis" all the time. Try "D'après moi", "Selon moi" or you could even try "Je crois" or "Je trouve".

    Have a short intro (maybe 2/3 sents) explaining the topic briefly.

    Develop the topic in 2/3 short paragraphs.
    Maybe giving the advantages/disadvantages etc

    Have a short conclusion giving your opinion. (~ 3 sents)

    Be really accurate with verbs.

    Always look over your work and try to remember to make the adjectives agree etc.

    Keep sentences relatively short, i.e no long, winding sentences.( less chance of grammar errors)

    For a high grade, aim to include the subjunctive tense and try your best to use a rich and varied vocab. Learn new vocab that was covered in class/comprehensions/on the tape etc every night. A little, a lot is the key in French. It cannot be crammed.

    I got the full 100 marks in my written section last year so it worked for me!
