VOCABULARY
- Write down 10 headlines from French Newspapers on a given day, translate them into English and then back into French.
- Make Word Cluster cards: Choose a verb (from the High-frequency list for example), and look it up, preferably in a paper dictionary. Write down a cluster of words which are linked:
eg1: décevoir (vb) / décevant (adj) / la déception (disappointment)
eg2: Coûter (vb) / le coût (noun) / coûteux (adj) / le coût de la vie (expression) / coûter la peau des fesses (idiomatic expression, familiar language)
- Select 20 items of topic-specific vocabulary and learn them (You may want to create desks of cards with Quizlet)
- IB-specific: Select 20 items of "Familiar language" or "Idiomatic expressions" and learn them
ORAL
- Choose a topic and write a mini-presentation of the main issues related to that topic. Deliver it out loud to yourself, from bullet points, to improve your oral fluency.
- Read passages outloud (and make note of the words which you struggle with to ask your teacher).
- Select a photo (IB individual oral) or a short text (FN1 / FN3 - choose a very short article from the press), and practise describing the photo  / explaining what the article is about. Refer to the useful vocabulary for the oral, and put a tick next to each item you manage to re-use.
