What text types do you need to be familiar with for French Ab Initio Paper 2?


Recommended Posts

I have been practicing for the french ab initio paper 2 exam for Friday by doing past papers. I discovered they give you a multitude of text types and one of the criteria of the rubric is how well you follow the conventions of the text type. Does anyone have a list of text types that the IB expects you to know and can anyone add to the conventions of each text type? I don't know if there is a list in the syllabus or anything but I know they have asked for speeches, letters (formal and informal), brochures and journal entries in past papers.

Good Luck to everyone on both papers.
