    Question for all you francophones! Am I able to use the same vocab for all the opinion pieces? I've a nice little opening sentence that I generally use but is it okay to re-use it?


    For Different pieces yes, technically that should be okay. Just dont re-use it in the same one.

    our teacher told us our address goes on the left and the person you're writing to on the right?

    Hey, I was just wondering if someone could clarify something for me: y'know in the written section, I know you must do Q1 but then after that, do you only have to do two from either Q's 2, 3 and 4? I'm sure it's only two, but je suis un peu nerveuse. *please let that be right* Merci et bonne chance (:

    Date:
    À:
    De:
    Objet:

    *Email*



    That's it, order doesn't matter for the first four lines because there's no marks going for layout, unlike letters.

    Actually a bit freaked about french, its one of my requirements but its not so much that as the fact that this exam might be weird to answer or very specific. I mean, reading over some of your stuff posted on here, my french phrases are relatively simple and I think I'll look incredibly stupid :o

    I think I'll have to change my whole CAO if tomorrow goes bad! :/

    I assumed the letter came up every year, what are the chances of it not coming up because our teacher didn't cover anything else with us.

    I think it's right, I have a (very!) vague recollection of being told that it's the opposite to how we write it in English :)

    Really?? Oh thank God!! :o
    This is the most important exam for me but I just cant study french because I prefer to just go with what I think with the question. I hope to God this exam is decent!

    Anybody got any more on the letter layout? What I know so far is that the addresses are laid out like this

    [sender's address] - [recipient's address (other side of page)]

    [to whoever]
    [body of letter]
    [goodbye bit]

    Does anyone know if that would get full marks for layout?

    Poverty was up in 2007. Volunteering was up in 2010. :)

    @Dwellingdweller the only other thing you need is [Town, Date] above the (recipient's) address on the right. :)

    Need help. I have been sitting with my notes lurking around the biology thread for the last two hours simply because I don't know where to start. Any help? What topics are worth looking at?

    Is it possible to get pretty decent marks if you have a perfect essay but it's only at the very minimum (75-90?)

    Definitely fine! you only need to get the 75-90 to get full marks also i have been told by teachers if you write too much they stop correcting , that could cut out your ending and you can lose marks so don't write too much!

    Phew that's a relief! I'm using really simple phrases though, but better than making mistakes I guess!
