My teacher said it's ok to say your town and county.

Luno

According to my teacher (I know everyone has been hearing different things, damn teachers!) you only need two points of information from your address.

We have Irish first, right?? And do you know are French and German both the second week or what's happening? I'm such a disaster :pac:

Ahhhhh I'm so in love with the Titanic updates on Twitter! I've been in love with the entire story for so long, its so surreal to imagine it all happening 100 years ago right now! 100 years ago right now, they were playing football on deck with the ice apparently.

Sad too though

I just started following them now, it's actually really interesting. I forgot about the history for a while.

What do you do if your document covers something that they ask during the oral. For example my document is about a family holiday to France and it mentions what French people are like and their culture. If I get asked about French cultural differences during the oral, do I tell the examiner?

Best thing to do is to say,

'Oh Madame, c'est la sujet de mon document, Voila!'

My school is having the Irish this week and German/French next.

I'm doing Titanic for my history project - God give me strength! I sound horrific speaking French too, I sound really nasally.

It depends on your school, my school is having Irish next week and the others the following week. But as seen by the other reply, it depends on your school.

We're having French first then Irish the next week

Mysteriouschic

My one has the irish this week then the french the week after.

LoonyLovegood

I'm French first, Irish second. I think it's Dublin is French/German/Spanish/Italian first, then Irish/Russian/Japanese second. Then outside Dublin is vice-versa.

Pretty sure north dublin has irish first (yeowww) and the southside is the opposite, but ive no idea how it works out in....da bogland :eek: :P

Did you know that Hogwarts in French is Poudlard? You learn something new every day...

I think I'm just going to write this exam off. I had convinced myself before that I could at French and make it count but I'm conceding now that having done nothing over the holidays I'm doomed to mediocrity. I'm kinda disappointed in myself, but if experience tells me anything, it's to make the best of the situation and not to get down about these things.
Even when I do badly in French, I can still salvage the rest.

And that goes for anybody worried about these orals, 1 bad exam is not the end of your LC. If it doesn't go exactly to plan keep your head high.

Try your best anyway, you never know what might happen!

I think i'm ready for my Oral. I know most of the basics and have a good few abstract topics covered and am fairly comfortable to talk for 30-40 seconds on each of Alcohol, Drugs, Smoking, Pollution, Emigration, Economic Crisis, Olympics, Tourism. Kinda freaking out though! I need an A2+ in this Oral so here's hoping I cut it!

Are you thinking of doing a Document?
