πŸ‘‹πŸ½ I'm Saf. I teach CAPE French at Arc School: live classes each week, lesson resources, exam practice and personalised coaching for the May–June 2027 exams. In this lesson, decide what you think before you write a word of French. Just don't learn my answer by heart. I want to hear your view, in your own words.


Bonjour mes amis πŸ‘‹πŸ½

In CAPE French, you are asked what you think about bigger questions: young people, values, the family. You have to say what you think in French, and you need to support your point.

That's what we'll work on today. By the end of this lesson you will be able to:

  • say what one writer argues about growing up and traditional values;

  • tell what someone argues from the example they use and from what supports it;

  • decide your own view, even if you only agree to a certain extent;

  • say that view in French, with a reason and an example.

In the full lesson you'll read the writer's French with me, hear my answer, and then build your own answer one sentence at a time.

Grab a pen. Here's the question. ✍🏽
