Year 10 – revision material + core vocabulary

If you have lost the revision material email. or can’t access it on your email account from home, here it is again:

• Oral presentations and questions ready for the exam day (1^st  Friday back, 10^th June) – am happy to look through anything that you get to me; (will try to respond during half-term if you send me anything, but as you are aware I do have a major event at the end of that week!)
• Grammar – verbs – passé composé / present / future / imperfect; adjectives; negatives  – (as a minimum).
• Opinions and justifications
• Vocabulary – anything and everything, but at least go over the material covered in Encore Tricolore 4. I have attached the vocabulary list for the IGCSE exam board (very similar to the GCSE one) for those who want to get ahead (5 new words per day would give you another 1750 or so by this time next year! – it can be done).
• IGCSE minimum-core-vocabulary

T set – the pronoun ‘y’

If you need extra help to learn, revise and extend your knowledge of the work we have covered on the pronoun y, check out the first 38 slides in this link:

The rest of the slides refer to the pronoun en, which we will also cover, so you can get ahead there too.

All – Anglo – EU translation

What do we really mean when we say things? One of the most difficult parts of language learning is trying to work out what the words that someone else is saying really mean.

So, for example, when the young child asks mum for another biscuit and she replies: “You’ve already had one”, the child does not hear a negative, so will ask again. This time the answer might be: “No, I’ve already told you that you can’t.” Child then thinks “OK – ‘you’ve already had one’ = negative. Language Learning is much more complicated than I thought!”.

Often adults can make it just as complicated for other adults, sometimes on purpose! Check out the link to Anglo-EU translation:
