‘Some of the comprehensions had trickier elements’
Corinne Gavenda from the Institute of Education in Dublin walks students through the French higher paper.
“Some of the topics that came up included the impact of social networks and social media on young people, dealing with university life and online education being a success or a failure. They were all very relevant and students would have been very happy,” he said. In the second text, some specific vocabulary choices might have caused students to miss a vital aspect of the piece.
“Indeed, question 5 on the college life ahead gave them loads to say and reflected this moment in their lives. Those who had prepared material on the cost of living would have been able to adapt and really make the most of that work.”
