Don't bother with the letter. Do the first question in the writing section (Section II I think) which is question (a). It's bascially a fill in the blanks question. It's a choice of the fill in the blanks or filling out a simple survey/ application form. Then for part B you are given the coice between either the message or the post card. The message would go something like this:

Leave a message for Marie with whom you are staying with in Grenoble; Say that;

• You will be home from your part-time job late this evening
• Therre will be a good film on Canal + at 10 O'clock
• Ask her to tape the programme for you

Date, time

Marie,
Je rentrai tard ce soir de mon petit boulot. Il y aura un bon film sur canal+ a dix heurres. Est ce que peux enregistrer pour moi sil vous plait?

A bientot!

It looks very short here but that'll take up at least four of the 7 lines you're given not including the time and day at the top and A bientot at the bottom

the comprehesions are unbelievably easy, the 1st 2 comprehesions need about three words for an answer! and the last two need a sentence or 2!

youll be grand

Johnerr

good what grade are you looking for in french? and what time is the listenig on?

EdgarAllenPoo

I really do feel sorry for all those doing french, ordinary or higher, I've done both in the past and they've both boggled me.

chillywilly

anything over a C2 id be happy with, what about yourself?

i think the listenin is on 10 mins after the writin...

Johnerr

hopefully a B1 is i get my act together now and just double cheak my verbs so i don;t make any mistakes with the tenses, did an ok oral, and should do fine in the reading comps and in the wirtten part, i;m ok at listening aswell.

Binomate

I'd say I got about a C1 I'd say in my oral so I'm gunna go for the B1 in this exam. That's a big improvment from what I got in my mocks. 54% This time tomorrow, I'll only have two exams left and I'll be even more srewed for history.

Johnerr

i got 45% in honors french so i don't wana chance failing it coz i ainted done any work for it

leggo

Eugh. I always thought I was half-decent at French. Even with the worst teacher in the world, when I dropped down to Ordinary I assumed that an A1 in that level was a given. Then, for the first time, I took a look at the exam papers today.

It's easy. I know it. But I'm still ****ed.

Goddamn me.

i was in honours and have to drop to pass along with the 17 other girls in my honours class, our teacher is a fruity tutty!! she was out for half the year and last year we watched romeo and juliet in english in the french class. then this year i worked my asse off for the oral and when i did it...ten minutes later michael the examiner called me to the office and said he didnt record it and could i do it agin....so french is now my nightmare....only its real!! ordinary should be ok...just am **** at any type of letter or written...woopsie daisies!!
