First have a go at describing a teacher….

Ma professeur s’appelle Madame Joynson. Elle est aimable et très sympa et aussi elle est un peu folle.

Où est-ce qu’on va pour manger le dîner?

Note that there is a question mark so you have to ask the question. Here you will need

TIP – In the higher roleplays, remember to pick an item that you can both describe and give a problem for. Don’t say you bought a pencil, shirt... if you can’t continue the roleplay.

You must use past tense to do this ( i bought...). Also look at the information on the roleplay card, does it say which shop you are in. You will not get any marks if you complain about clothes in a stationery shop. For this practice, imagine you are in a stationary shop.

Bonjour, hier j’ai acheté un livre ici, mais il y a un problème....

...ils manquent des pages (there’s pages missing)

J’ai acheté les chaussures hier

J’ai acheté la veste la semaine dernière

82.) Solution?

83. Pourquoi avez-vous téléphoné

Here you need to phone a police station and say you want to report a crime. If you look on the roleplay card, it is quite likely you will find the word for robbery.

Le voleur avait les cheveux blonds, les yeux bleus et il avait une barbe, il portait des lunettes.

la lumière ne marche pas

86. Action?

Ask what can be done (about a problem in a hotel room)

Tip – BOTH of these answers would be acceptable. The first is maybe more simple but suggesting a solution is a suitable alternative.

Note that there is a question mark so you have to ask the question. You do not have to suggest a solution but you must ask them what they can do to resolve the problem. Try first of all to just ask them what they are going to do.

95. Tes projets pour demain / le reste de ta visite

Saying what you plan to do later on in day / in trip

Tip – Be careful !, sometimes you will be asked what your plans are for the future....

In this case, you would need to say something like ‘ Je vais continuer mes études’

Je vais jouer au foot et puis je vais rentrer à l’hôtel pour manger.

Je vais visiter les monuments ensuite je vais regarder la télé.

Here you need to say in the future tense what your plans are for later in the day.Anything realistic will do unless you have broken an arm and say you are going to play football. Begin by saying what you might do later on in the day.

Now try to say what you will do with the rest of your visit. Saying you are going to have a shower is NOT a correct response.

Je voudrais visiter le musée et manger dans un restaurant typique

Je voudrais aller à la disco pour danser.

96.Ce que tu as aimé et pourquoi

Saying what you have enjoyed

Tip – You may also be asked what you did NOT like about a place you visit, so be prepared to be critical as well ....Je n’ai pas aimé la nourriture.. (I didn’t like the food)

J’ai aimé les gens français

J’ai aimé les repas français

J’ai aimé les musée / le parc d’attracions

J’ai aimé l’opportunité de parler en français

In this question, you will need to say what you liked about a visit and why. You must talk in past tense here..... Say you liked the food / attractions / people / opportunity to practice language....ANYTHING RELEVANT

Important to use past tense... I liked

+ Now try to think of a reason why

97. Les différences entre ton collège et un collège français

Say what the differences are between something in England and France

Tip – You may also wish to use the words ‘mieux’ – better or ‘pire’ worse

Here you have to make a comparison between something you have seen in England and France. You should be using the words ‘plus’ and ‘moins’. For this example, try to think of two differences you could give between a French school and one in England....

Dans mon collège les repas sont pires

Dans mon collège les élèves sont plus bruyants

Dans mon collège il y a moins de respect pour les professeurs

98. L’environnement

It is used a lot in the higher roleplays...ce que j’ai vu – What you saw

ce que tu penses – What you think

on peut.....

Here you will have to suggest something that could be done to improve the cities environment. This is a really difficult question so try to use the question to make an answer. Use ‘on peut’ you can.....+ anything you can think of..

recycler le papier interdire les voitures dans le centre prendre les transports en commun

99. Ce que j’ai vu...

Describing what you saw - Accident or robbery

Now try to say what they were both doing. This will score the higher grades. Clue + Try to use the imperfect ... construction

J’ai vu un accident entre une voiture et un piéton pedestrian

Here you need to use past tense to describe what you saw. This is a very hard question to do. The easiest (but lowest scoring way) would be to simply say you saw an accident between a pedestrian and a car. Try this first..

J’ai vu un accident entre une femme qui traversait la rue et une voiture qui tournait à gauche.

It is very important you use the correct tense here. Remember phrases like

J’ai vu – I saw J’ai noté – I noted Il y avait – There was

100. Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé

Saying how an accident / injury happened

Tip – You could also say you didn’t see something to further impress the examiner...

je n’ai pas vu un arbre..... je n’ai pas vu le ballon...

You need to use the past tense (preterite) to say how you injured yourself. There is a really important phrase which you can use for all of these types of questions ...’I fell’Say what you were doing first using the ‘imperfect.... construction.

je jouais au foot

je dansais

et...je me suis brûlé (I burnt it
