Federerfan Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I just finished my French SL Paper 2 today.I did my composition on how I feel about seeing my friend cheatAt the end I concluded that I should pick the most convenient way and just cheat as well. (I gave solid reasoning)But my friends are telling me that they are going to fail me because it's not 'good' enoughAm I dead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yes you're dead and screwed and you're gonna fail the diploma and French and life and school and everything everything everything everything in the universe! If you've read the Language B syllabus, you would have noted that for an essay to score high, it's not about the general idea of the essay that you're writing, but more about the content. Was your grammar okay? Was it well structured? Was the vocabulary varied? Did you provide both sides of the argument? Did it flow properly? Did you end the essay properly? If anything the examiner might commend you for taking such a risqué stance and being different from the others. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilia Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Yes you're dead and screwed and you're gonna fail the diploma and French and life and school and everything everything everything everything in the universe! Don't scare people more than necessary!As Aboo said, it depends mostly on the language, so you don't have to worry too much, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommeDesEnfants Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 No, I don't think you'll be screwed for the following reasons:1. What you're talking about goes under message in French B - that's only 10/30 marks. If you were to hypothetically get 0 on message (YOU WON'T), you could still get 20/30. On Epreuve 2, that's a 5, which is a pretty good mark! Nevertheless, unless you completely misunderstood the topic or something, you'll probably get at least 5/10 on message. Like everybody else has said, as long as you said it well and justified it well enough, then you should be okay.2. I did that Epreuve 2 on Thursday, and remember that the topic itself said to share your feelings on it. That's pretty ambiguous; you could've all-out supported it throughout your entire paper if you wanted to, since nothing in the topic is actually stopping you. Hope this helps. You'll do fine.

Ruan Chun Xian Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 You'll be fine. I did a little rant about exams in my IGCSE English Language exam and got an A. For Language exams it's more important how you write, what you actually say only matters in the sense that it proves you understand the topic.

moneyfaery Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I did that question!!! It was so fun... an hour an a half of bitch ranting I included something like "grr... to be able to score high marks blah blah blah, must one cheat???" so you'll be fine.
