What is the Advanced Information
The main aim is to help you use your revision time effectively. In the case of French, the guidance helps with Paper 2, Section B: Reading and Writing, only. You will find a table showing the major focus of the content of the exam for Questions 6 and 7.
These two questions will draw on your reading and writing skills, vocabulary, etc, in the following areas:
- Life in the town and rural life (see Lesson 11)
- Daily routines and helping at home (see Lessons 12-13)
- Environmental issues (see Lesson 31)
- Hobbies, interests, sports and exercise (see Lessons 6-7)
Study the whole course
Please do not think it is a good idea to ignore the rest of the course! These two questions are only a small part of the overall assessment and other topics are sure to figure prominently in other questions about which there is no Advance Information.
Our general advice is to complete all lessons but to keep this advice close to hand during the revision process and make sure you are particularly well prepared to answer questions on these topic areas.
