    So, French Tomorrow!!
    Whats everybody going studying for this??
    I'm thinkin:
    1) Formal Letters (Applying for a job, Making a Reservation / Complaint, School Exchange)
    2) Drugs In Sport, Terrorism, Pollution, Drugs & Alcohol, Olympic Games...
    3) Verbs & Tenses
    4) Grammer
    5) Aural (Because I'm **** @ It)

    Anything else - Mucho Appreciated!!!

    Spot on, I think. If I was betting on anything it would be drugs in sport because of when the paper was set.

    For the aural, try learning the terms for the weather ... not that it will necessarily come up but it's one of the few areas in french where most of the terms don't sound like their english equivalents. Also, if you've got TV5, turn on the news to get your ear in (even if you don't understand exactly what they're talking about).

    I'm predictin no formal letter! A message instead or maybe an informal letter...

    Topics: Healthy eating/obesity , terrorism/war, religion, internet, drugs.

    no particular layout for an email just the day and date at the top. a letter of complaint could be very possible. we can rule out la vitesse and anything to do with driving and buses. . .

    Ah crap! Never thought of that. And our teacher made us learn loads of vocab on road safety and traffic problems which of course I diligently learned... :mad:

    this is a massive if but if the had road accidents or the like on the paper and they had to change it a few weeks back could they put up other stuff in the news at that time?
