I hope everyone is happy! Those written questions (bar 2 I think) were quite unpredictable I think but they were fair. How did everyone find the reading comprehensions?

Seemed to be a fair enough paper, didn't get the 'lui' part but think I got most of the comps - what did everyone get for the multiple choice q's? - D and B for me

What did Mia do the previous day? 3(i) of the 2nd comp
and why did Jonathan have to use his own money during his work placement 2(i) first comp ?

I got that she was on the home page of the site yesterday for 3(i) and for 2(i) because the grant only funded a small bit of his placement..
Wasn't sure about either

Elle avait visité un site de rencontres RC2

Parce que la bourse offerte ne suffit pas/ n'est pas suffisante/ 'ne couvre qu'une petite partie des frais'

Mia visited the website and Jonathan used his own money because the grant was only 700 and covered only a part of the costs(something like that anyway)

I got the 2nd one but said Elle a créé un profil sur un site de rencontres for the 1st one, is that wrong?

Do you guys know if they take the word count into strong consideration when marking? I had 12 French teachers over my 6 years and they all had different opinions on the matter, but I know for a fact that I wrote over it on all 3 essays, will I be penalised? I wasn't in the mocks so I'm not entirely sure..

What did you guys put for the expression that indicates that she hasn't got a regular time job & how we know that she didn't stay in contact with her agent?

Something about ayant horaires difficile (forget) and then I said for the agent one: il l'a dit de lui donner ses nouvelles
Don't think I got it right though

You don't get docked marks for going over! I think 90/75 words is a guideline. I definitely wrote over on all 3

If you wrote under the word count I'd say you would defs be penalised but it's almost impossible to get your point across without writing atleast 100 words -

What were the two things wrong with the hotel for the aural?
and for comprehension i said the reason We know mia doesnt keep contact with her agent was cause she didnt reply to her email? what did ye say?

Realistically you would be expected to write 120-140 words for the 90 word WE and 100-110 for the 75 word WE( remembering that words of < 3 letters don't count) In reality you are being asked to answer in condensed form ( not a dissertation )so you can't really write as much as you want. Plus the more you write, the more likely you are to make errors.
Don't over analyse ... If your French is good and relevant to what you have been asked,I would continue to mark!

what is climatisation? I think this was mentioned in the listening comprehension on either section 2 or 3. (I don't think I spelled this word right btw)
And what proved that Mia was not an impulsive person?

Climatisation is Air Conditioning
Among the answers I'd look for-
She was unable to type a single word ( Elle fut incapable de taper le moindre mot )
She held herself back ( Elle se retint)
The fact that she was panicking that the Mother would find out what she had done ( Elle la crucifierait )
She held back from answering immediately she lacked the courage ( Elle hésita, le courage lui manqua)
It's also that she was a very cautious person who does not make impulsive decisions

The bedrooms are dirty
and I guessed and said the air conditioning is always broken but not sure about this

Was it ok if you disagreed with the statement and used points to back it up instead? I said I disagreed and went on about her impulsive choice to change her hair and agreeing to go on the date.

That's perfectly acceptable too! You chose the difficult side of the argument as that's all there really was - but you have the answers!

Oh ok thank God! I was getting worried there because I don't think I did too well in the listening, so don't need to be losing even more marks
