Sample work French Year 11: audio presentation

Description of activity

Speaking and writing in French

Task 1 is based on an advertisement for a 3-month reciprocal exchange program to regional France (see below), for which you have decided to apply. Record an audio presentation in which you address all the information in the advertisement. You must speak for approximately 2 minutes in French.

Experience the real France on a 3-month exchange program

You might think you know France, but France isn’t Paris or Marseilles! There is a whole world outside the big French cities that you can get to know.

• If you are over 16 why not come to France for a 3 month exchange.
• The exchange will provide you with accommodation during the period you attend school with a French family.
• There will be 2 months of school and one month of holidays.
• The exchange is reciprocal. If you are accepted you will be expected to host a student either before or after your exchange.
• What you can offer a potential exchangee will be considered.

To be successful you must demonstrate that you:

• are outgoing and interested in France
• are a good student of French
• enjoy new challenges
• can act as a global ambassador.
