What does one study for French?

Turquoise

So I'm guessing that some people DO actually do some work for French, what should I be studying for tomorrow? Bearing in mind that I'm tired and probably not going to do more than a couple of hours.

I like to listen to french songs to get the irish out of my head. I'm studying nice/key phrases for the main topics that come up or stuff that can adapt and go with anything. My friend learns off chunks of essays but thats not my style.
I also go over some of the more difficult grammer bits to just polish it off.(subj., plu'perf+passe cond.) I love french its a nice exam after irish paper 2

Our teacher said to concentrate on topics such as politics, environment, importance of french language, young ppl nd eating habits, disadvantages of sport (le dopage en sport) nd some other stuf that i cant remember! Anywhoo, bonne chance demain!

I've had a revision book for french... I've had it all year... However, all I have used it for is for firing paper "missiles" with an elastic band. I called each of these missiles "le bombe", you know, to help me with my french... But unless french classroom warfare comes up (in english) I'm pretty screwed.

It's not my fault though, I've just never been taught it, the grade I get tomorrow will tarnish my otherwise brilliant leaving

Whats the format?

Im kind of lost too.. Doing HL but my teacher wasn't the best... Im just happy that those written exercices only count for 25%! The comprehensions are usually easy enough to spoof and same with the listening. Just maybe listen over a listening cd tonight to familiarise yourself with the accents and things. Also make sure you know your numbers, always comes up in the aural in some form.. Thankfully I probably don't need to count this subject

en ce moment je suis ecoute la rap francais sur mon i-pod....i have always loved hip-hop and 2 years ago i began to listen to french rap...its great because theres not as much commerical pop rap like flo-rida or 50 cent its more about the tough life in the suburbs of paris and marseille "dans la rue", they also speak ALOT about the riots. malhereusement, i dont understand everything they say but it gets you in a french state of mind.......

does anyone else listen to french music (apart from daft punk)

as far as cramming the night b4 goes i'd probably stick with recognising the tenses nd goin over a good few general phrases you can use for every essay.. the a mon avis, d'un part,d'autre part etc etc etc... then maybe look over notes you have on the topics in the OP... all you can do really!!

blue-army

What are the best general phrases to know then?

grazielle

hmmm..
in my opinion... a mon avis
according to me.. apres moi
on the one hand.. d'un part
on the other hand.. d'autre part
firstly... premierement
i think that, ___ ought to ___ to solve the problem.. je pense que___ devrait ____ pour resoudre le probleme
what can we do to solve the problem.. qu'est qu'on peut faire pour resoudre le probleme..

jst really stuff that you can use for any topic..
