You may have been a few minutes into the oral talking about general introduction, who you are, where you live, you rfamily, school, what you like doing in your spare time...those type of questions. After this the examiner will ask you about the document. So simple questions to start : (do them in English first! This may sound obvious, but make sure it's clear in your head in English...). Say for example you have a photograph of a wedding you were at recently and you were bridesmaid..... who is in the photograph ? where/when was it taken ? J'ai été demoiselle d'honneur au mariage de ma tante. why did she chose you ? What did you have to do as bridesmaid before the wedding...? Did you organise a hen party ? soirée pour enterrer une vie de jeunne fille Was there music ? a band ? How many people were at the wedding? (Combien de personnes ?) Where did they go on their honeymoon ? partir en voyage de noces ...? This part of the conversation may only last 3-4 minutes but it's your opportunity to shine and display your pronunciation and vocabulary and pick up some easy marks. Make sure you have learned off any words surrounding the topic of weddings - its not something you probably studied in class... So for this you will need to understand the start of the question : who/where/why.... Check out the blog post on : http://frenchgrinds.ie/BLOG/moins-de-neige-french-oral-preparation/ for this ... If you want to try getting your answers together in french I'd be happy to correct them if you need help :-) best of luck, Brendan Basically the document is there to kick-start a conversation.
