Exercise 2Questions 7-13Candidates coped well with this exercise. Questions 7 and 13 caused very little difficulty. The mainproblems were with Questions 10 and 11.Exercise 3Questions 14-20This exercise was handled well by all but the weakest candidates.Section 2Questions 21-25While it was clear in this exercise that most candidates had understood the passage, it was also clear that manyhad difficulty writing in accurate French. Grammatical mistakes in themselves were not penalised as long as theanswer could be understood, but sometimes the result was just too confused to gain the mark. An answerregularly appearing in Question 25 was elle a des planches adaptées au temps de la mer. There were othercases of the answer being just too brief, for example in Question 21, 12 ans could mean 12 years ago or at theage of 12. The most common mistakes occurred in Question 22, where the most frequent wrong answer wasParce que c’est sa passion and Question 25, where the three reasons given were often le slalom, la course etl’épreuve des vagues.Exercise 2Questions 26-33Questions 28-33 caused some problems in terms of what was required. A number of candidates simply tickedthe boxes and made no attempt to correct the boxes selon le texte. Others simply corrected the statementgiven, for instance in Question 28, Non, à l’âge de 13 ans, Frank n’a pas quitté l’école.The main difficulties, however, were caused by difficulties in comprehension. ‘B’ was frequently given as theanswer to Question 27.Some candidates offered irrelevant or inadequate information, such as vers l’âge de 13 ans, quelque chosed’incroyable est arrivé for Question 28.Question 29 was frequently answered with Vrai or the correction was wrong, for example, Il ne rencontre jamaisles athlètes américains.In Question 30, some candidates did not distinguish between the passeport namibien referred to in thestatement and the information given about the passeport sud-africain in the text.In Question 31 a common error was to focus on Si Frank a bien réussi and to explain this with parce qu’il courttrès vite, rather than correcting the part of the statement that was false, namely that he did not come from a richfamily, but rather had spent his childhood dans un quartier noir très pauvre de Windhoek.In Question 33 it needed to be made clear that Frank wanted to be part of the economic development ofNamibia and consequently candidates who relied on the last two lines of the text, Il veut participer audéveloppement économique du pays, did not give sufficient information for the mark.18
Section 3Questions 34-53In this section, where grammatical accuracy is essential, the marks were generally low. Some candidates wereclearly floundering, their answers suggesting they just did not understand the passage. Others had understoodand picked a word that would make sense in terms of meaning, but did not fit in grammatically. The mostcommon mistakes were:Question 34 aucunQuestion 35 a, avait, ilQuestion 36 pour, ceQuestion 37 à, as, avaitQuestion 38 aQuestion 39 quoi, c’est, qu’est-ceQuestion 40 Mostly answered correctly.Question 41 Mostly answered correctly.Question 42 quandQuestion 43 de, les, plancheQuestion 44 Generally answered correctly.Question 45 ilQuestion 46 etQuestion 47 deQuestion 48 tombais, glissé, débouléQuestion 49 dans, duQuestion 50 l’Question 51 saQuestion 52 puis, pus, peux, pû, pouvoirQuestion 53 dans19
