    i thought it was grand tbh ..
    the aural was pretty easy and the letters were fine
    thank the lord a formal letter didnt come up and i was glad a postcard came up instead of a note.
    overall very happy :D

    I guessed and said he went to Sweden. I thought all the comprehensions, aural and reading were simple. As I suck at the letter, I was surprised by how easy it was. It was so easy they'll give us a hard question. I could get a B or I could get a C.
    That was so odd, a protest because of bad food in the canteen? The French would protest over anything, clearly.

    even though I wrote down england because i didnt have a freking clue.!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 iheartboosh


    That paper was ridiculously easy xD
    Loved the aural (Ecosse is Scotland btw :P).
    The comprehensions were great and the letter and postcard were unbelievably easy!
    It was so funny how everyone was convinced a formal letter was coming up and were absolutely sh**ing themselves about it!
    Btw;; that guy in the last comprehension was an absolute bang!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    guys (i mean girls!).. do you know that the guy in the last comprehension was married? you better be quiet or his wife will come after ye.. and he called his son valentine?????? i think he's bi.!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 90 ✭✭claudtreacy




  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 iheartboosh


    Thanks for that xD
    The picture on the site does no justice for him though :/
    Looked much hotter in the picture in the paper!! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24 swimminggurlX


    Paper was amazing. Sure I did really well on it. I didnt even notice the fella and all my friends were going on about him afterwards:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 143 ✭✭nowimtalking


    I thought that the letter and postcard were a breeze, the reading comprehensions were great too, an odd word drove me mad but they werent relevant to the answers!
    In the listening comprehension there were a few slips including, "Ecosse", which i know now. I said that the guy got the flowers for his mothers birthday but that wasnt as bad as my friends answer" the sea festival"!
    The colour of the dog,

    What was the guys job in section B II part 3?

    I got the fourth item in section E completely wrong but the rest was a breeze!

    Does anyone know the answers to the fourth item?

    bahaha the room we were in was plastered in French vocabulary posters. And the examiner was too old to notice us quite loudly talking to eachother and exchanging answers.

    So an easy exam was made even easier!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 436 ✭✭Meller


    French is almost embarrassingly easy but I'm still pretty rubbish just because they often act such awkward questions.

    Anybody have answers? The last two comprehensions were pretty bad...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 49 j'aime


    ya it was easy but i'd say the marking scheme wil be hard if every1 did so well?:P

    Nicest paper i've ever seen in my 7 years of Teaching.

    Some people are so cocky though, which makes me regret spending ages helping people out here last night :(

    Anyway, hope you all do very well.

    I also said train driver!
    I said he worked with the council? :pac:..
