Does our teacher tell the examiner our standard of french? :eek::eek::eek:

from what i understand no they don't because if they were they would need to write a list with all the capabilities of each student so i doubt it.

yeyyy

-ME-

I dunno but my teacher said that they sometimes have to give the examiner a list of students in order of ability, so that the examiner can try and give everyone the opportunity to reach their full potential or something I dunno though, it seems a bit unfair that the exam would begin in such a biased way.

Cheers Anne-Marie!!.


How would I say:

"Then on Saturday night, after an eleven round thriller Bernard Dunne beat Ricardo Cordoba with an eleventh round knock-out, making Dunne the new WBA Super-Bantamweight World Champion"

Or something along them lines.

Samedi dernier, j'ai passe la plupart du jour devant le petit ecran,(pas mal de la journee devant la tele) en regardant le sport. D'abord le magnifique exploit de l'equpe d'Irlande contre le Pays de Galles. C'etait inoubliable! L'Irlande a gagne le Tounoi des Six Nations mais, plus important, le Grand Slam pour la premiere fois depuis soixante et un ans. Quelle journee historique! Moi, je ne joue pas au rugby mais j'aime bien regarder les matchs a la tele. Je prefere de jouer au.....and then off into whatever sport you play etc

this sort of stuff...

What kinda things were you asked

QueenOfLeon

Had mine today, happy enough with it but i think it could have gone better the examiner was really really nice, she only asked the basics like myself, family, where i live, hobbies, future career, job and school. Worst thing was she would let me talk away for about a minute and when i was finished shed still sit there saying nothing so just had to try and keep the conversation going Overall i suppose it was ok though!! Just wished she would have asked more questions as i couldnt really bring in stuff id learned about say drugs or the recession. Also, got really thrown off at the start as the first thing she asked was where i lived, i was expecting it to be family

The randomest things she asked: I was talking bout playing badminton, and she asked what made me decide to play it. Talking bout wanting to study medicine, she asked would i prefer to work as a GP or a doctor in a hospital, and is it important to have chemistry to study medicine. Also had i any previous experience in this field, which was ok but i completely forgot the word for work experience Ah, thank god its over, at least i constantly kept talking bout something which is good i suppose!!

Heggy

Pretty unhappy with mine. A few mistakes, I paused a lot, and she asked me about my typical day at school and it completely threw me off, it never occurred to me at the time she was just asking for the times etc. but I just talked about what I did at the breaks and after school.
Most unexpected question was that she asked me did I go to Cork for that Maths quiz that was on a couple of weeks ago. I just blanked on the word for team, really annoyed.

Had mine earlier, happy enough with it, but she asked me about my best friend and what happens if you don't adhere to school rules, bit random I thought.

OK, I've officially had the worst oral ever in the history of man. The first five minutes or so were grand, but she asked me something silly and I got it wrong and she corrected me and then I started crying! for absolutely no reason! then I was mortified so I couldn't stop crying, I wish I'd known how to say "sorry, I'm very hormonal, you know yourself miss." At the end she was trying to reassure me and stuff, but I did not do well.

Onward and upward though, I never have to speak French again!

My friend burst out into tears in the middle of her Irish Oral last year after a few minutes and felt she did horrendously.
She had written Irish off, pretty much, as a subject to count for points because of it.
In the end- she got an A2. Higher Level.

So there ya go, you'll still have accumulated a good lot of marks

this is what i have for my document..(not botherin writing accents and all (á,ó, etc))

sur cette photo on voit mon equipe de rugby. on est vingt quatre. on est tous habilles en short bleu et maillot bleu, blanc et noir. derriere nous on voit des arbes et l'herbe est tres vert alors la photo etait problament prise en printemps ou en ete. il faisait beau en tous les cas. sur cette photo je suis le troisieme de la droite dans la rangee de derriere. le capitain est devant. c'est celui qui le ballon entre les genoux. il y a un garcon devant a gauche qui n'est pas habilles comme tout le monde. c'est parce qui c'est le remplacant.
la photo a ete prise lors de la finale de rugby de leinster pour les equipes en dessons de seize ans. c'etait il y a deux ans. la finale a eu lieu a kildare. on y est alle en bus. c'etait un tres bon match. on a bien joue et l'autre equipe aussi. on a joue contre longford. il n'y avait qu'un essai dans le match entier et c'est notre equipe qui l'a marque. le score finale etait de sept contre trois. c'etait un belle vistoire pour mon equipe.
maintenant, nous nous entrainons deux fois par semaine, le mardi et le vendredi.on joue des matches le samedi. on gagne presque tous les matches.
j'aime le rugby parce que c'est tres physique, exitant et passionant.

Im second up in the class tomorrow. :O Not looking forward.
Im going to copy half of what you said there on the rugby, coz my document is on The Heiniken Cup Final last year.
Madly looking around for 2 or three places to toss in a subjunctive.
"Il faut que je" ... or whatever!

At least im not as screwed as some of the rest of the class. We have possibly the worst french teacher in the country! 90% of our class couldn't tell you where they live in French, not a mind talk about "LA Crise Econimique" or " La situation en Irlande du Nord"
