Exam 2008

[scumel]

how did everyone find it?
i thought it was pretty good, listening was rather straightforward. reading, you had to be careful but overall quite doable
essay topics were rather strange on first glance, but i did the first one in the end.
im pretty happy overall
c'est fini!
everyone elses thoughts??

[garrc90]

How did everyone go??
I think I went ok.. except for that stupid last reading analysis... lol

I choose the essay about the interview for a big company..
it was a bit short..

Anyway.. post your thoughts and comments here..

[scumel]

yeh i thought it was good, the last reading made you think but it was still ok.
i did the first essay about school
nah very happy with the exam, fingers crossed!

[garrc90]

i had my Japanese one on Monday..
So i knew what to expect today

[scumel]

kudos for also doing two languages
double the scaling for us!

[lauzy358]

yeap.
except i found listening harder than reading XD
i lost at least two marks there.
one on writing 'orange' instead of 'orange marmalade' aand the other 'cause the paintings in the tearoom...what were they? i wrote 'hunts' and 'dogs' lmao i'm hearing it's 'cats and dogs'?

chose the topic about having an animal because...i'm really into that XD wanna be a vet and all that, so i had all the right vocab...

je suis triste que c'est fini =( in some sick way i get a kick out of french XD<3

[amycourty]

yeahhh i reckon too.

even though i didnt understand what the first text was (tearoom) i wrote down something crazy in my notes, then flicking through my dictionary i realised it was tearoom.

hmm, there was something i think i didnt get. when it said , where is the rugby tournament going to be held . like. i wrote at the stadium, but i didnt write which one cos i missed that.

I chose to write the letter about the job interview. i wrote something about having an interview at YSL and then the boss was nice, then i started telling him bout myself. and then he was like i dont care.
got in my conditional lol. something about if i would sleep with him to get the job" .
lol and i said my reactions were SHOCKEDDD.    . like . and then i stood up and told him he was an animal, etc.
and then was like, faut que j'aille, jai un autre interview avec Chanel

[amycourty]

gee  TWO languages.
you's are brave.

i wish i hadda kept with indo . but when i went overseas i lost it . AH well

 "got in my conditional lol. something about if i would sleep with him to get the job" .

   what did you write?   "j'aurais des rapports sexuels avec lui pour prendre l'emploi"  [I'm not sure if that's the most French way of saying "get a job"]

[Julian H]

where was the women's rugby tournament held? i said Paris but not sure.

[amycourty]

lol nah i dont memba exactly.

wasnt directly like get a job.
it was like. something like you would have more of a chance of working here in the future.

and with the tournament.
i heard stade, but i didnt hear the place.
so i just wrote in the stadium

[bubble sunglasses]

"and with the tournament.
i heard stade, but i didnt hear the place.
so i just wrote in the stadium"
 
 was it St Denis? or Parc des Princes, or Stade de France?

[scumel]

it was Stade de France
and as for the first listening it was an english tearoom
and i said that there were paintings of umbrellas and dog-hunting on the walls (not so sure about that) but i said the decor was very english and very stylish
thats funny if you wrote about the guy wanted you to sleep with him! haha

[bubble sunglasses]

  heh, I'd have been at an advantage purely through having heard of the Stade de France

[bubble sunglasses]

 "told her dogs have special ability to cure cancer just in case i got it."
   
 heh heh

 

  What was the context of the bit with umbrellas?
