FRENCH IGCSE PAPER 2

(1/1)

skittles:
hey i was wondering if anyone could help me with what i should know for the composition part of Paper 2. [the one worth 15 marks!]

What are the most likely topics to come up?
Do any of you have sample answers?

AS many of you know the exam is tomorrow.....so if i could an answer sooon i really would appreciate it  xD

Name:
its not that hard! just read the questions and TICK EACH POINT AS YOU GO. you lose a lot of marks if you forget to include a point! also, try to just make sure you are consistent. for example, make sure what you write is actually correct rather than try to show off with some new words your not sure of!
they are much easier than paper 4, so dont worry, nothing difficult will come. try to add conecting words like

Apres avoir faire ca ( after doing this)
En plus (in addition)
A mon avis (in my opinion)

...

Good luck!

Monica:

Communication
NB: (a) + 2 of (b), (c) and (d) must be completed to get the 10 communication marks.
(a) + 1 of (b), (c) and (d) = maximum communication mark of 9.
If only (a) is covered, the maximum communication mark is 8.
LISTS = a maximum of 3 marks for communication:
lists of 1–3 items = 1 mark
lists of 4 items = 2 marks
lists of 5–6 items = 3 marks"
