Production Orale Se presenter

                                     SE PRESENTER

                                                       

Folks as you already know, Production orale of DELF B1 is divided into 3 parts -

1. Se presenter(General presentation)
2. Entretien dirige(Dialogue)
3. Monologue Suivi(Point of view)

Se presenter is the easiest part of all.Its your best opportunity to create a lasting impression on examiner.If you manage this part well,then you are the winner and minimum 6 points are secured.
The best thing about this part is that you are not bombarded with typical questions.Well...permission to speak freely and independently.

Important tips during this part-

1. Organise your ideas well and try to be systematic i.e name,age,profession etc.(I will cover that in detail in my next post)                                                                                                                                        
2. Use connectors to link your ideas.                                                                                                                     
3. Speak slowly and calmly.I mean at a pace during which you can cover 2 minutes well.                                    
4. Try to bring in maximum details in your presentation.                                                                             
5. If all the important points are covered,then friends its concluded that you didn't give the opportunity to the examiner pour poser des questions.                                                                                                            
6. Speak with confidence.Its your 2 minutes.Deploy your spoken skills and show the examiner what you have got.

                      But the important question is which points to speak to during your presentation.My next post will cover all that stuff.

Bonne journee!!!

I hope guys you are finding this blog helping.                                                                                                                                                                                                 

DELF B1 Comprehension Orale(Listening part) important tips

                    DELF B1 Comprehension Orale

                                                                                                         This is one of the challenging parts of DELF B1.One needs to be focussed during listening.I will be sharing step by step process to make it easy.

1. Before hearing the first clip,you will be getting 30 seconds to read the questions.Please i request you not to read the full questions.Use your precious 30 seconds by marking as many important keywords as you can by pencil like qui,pourqoui(question words) arrive,oublie(verbs) etc to get the general sense of the document.                                                                     
2. By doing this you will develop a specific idea of what you will be expecting from the clip.                                                                                       
3. Now listen carefully the audio  and try to focus only to answer what is asked in the question like qui parle a lucas? So there is a person u will be expecting in audio.                                                                                             
4. Develop your understanding this way and try to capture specific answer .By now, you will know where to target.                                                                                                     
5. During the audio don't waste time by sticking to a single question and move on if u didn't catch the answer because you will be getting another chance to hear and verify yourself.                                 
6. Try  to grab  important words and copy it on the paper by pencil.Don't write whole sentences during listening because if you do it,it will be difficult to follow other questions and you might end up confused.You can jot down your final answers at last since you will get ample time after both audio clips.                       

 Use this strategy and j'espere le meilleur pour votre reussir.

In the next post, i will be sharing how we can divise this strategy practically during listening by giving a typical example.Feel free to ask any doubts if you have by commenting below.Friends i want to let you know this blog is created only for you and helping anyone of you will keep me motivated.

Strategy and Tactics for DELF B1 preparation

                                                  

I will not irritate you by repeating general rules again of DELF B1.But friends in my opinion,clearing DELF B1 is all about management of time dans 4 competences.Create a good plan and find your strength in 3 parts leaving listening part as you need to quickly jot down your answers for listening part otherwise it will be hard to remember if you do it later.The easiest part for most of us in the written part is Comprehension Ecrite. Try to do this part at last after finishing Comprehension Orale and Production Ecrite.

Because even if due to shortage of time if you miss some questions of the passage for the comprehension ecrite you will only loose some marks for number of questions you missed because most of the questions carry 1 or 2 marks.But guys please don’t mess up with essay part.Because this is the part where examiner judge your grammartical skills and how coherent your text is.(Remember you need minimum 5 marks in each part and minimum 50 overall).Trust me, scoring overall 50/100 is easier compared to scoring more than 5/25 in both listening and essay part.

Time your exam to perfection by starting with essay part and then come topassage part.Planify your exam well and personne ne peut vous empêcher d’obtenir votre attestation de reussite.Je suis ici pour vous aider.

Bonne chance!
