1. LOOK – Look carefully at the word for at least 10 seconds.
2. SAY – Say the word to yourself or out loud to practise pronunciations.
3. COVER – Cover up the word when you feel that you have learned it.
4. WRITE – Write the word from memory.
5. CHECK – Check the word against the original. Did you get it right? If not, what did you get wrong?

You can tell whether it is a masculine or feminine word by looking at the un
(masc) or une (fem).
To help cement this into your mind – shade in the french words BLUE is they’re
MASCULINE, and RED if they are FEMININE.

What will be in the exam ?
The exam will mostly focus on what we have done in Unit 1 (all the vocabulary here !)
BUT! You will also be asked to write a small text about you as well as this. Think about all the things you
know how to say:

Your name.

How you are feeling.

What is in your bag (remember to include what colour things are!)

How old you are.

When your birthday is.

What is in your classroom.
Here is an example:
Bonjour Emilie,
Ça va très bien merci, et toi ? Je m’appelle Benjamin et j’ai neuf
ans. Mon anniversaire, c’est le premier septembre. Dans mon sac
j’ai deux crayons verts et un stylo bleu, aussi, j’ai un portable
noir. Dans ma classe, il y a une fenêtre et trois tables rouges.
Au revoir,
Benjamin.
What can I do if I know all the vocabulary?
At the back of this pack there are the answers for the revision pages in your white expo homework book.
Give them a go and then check your answers.
