1. Structure of the Practice Paper | 模拟卷结构
The practice paper is divided into four sections: A – Vocabulary & Grammar, B – Reading Comprehension, C – Translation, and D – Writing. Each section assesses different skills. Section A tests your knowledge of nouns, articles, adjectives, and basic verbs. Section B checks whether you can understand short texts and pick out specific information. Section C moves between French and English, and Section D asks you to produce a short piece of writing.
模拟卷分为四个部分：A – 词汇与语法，B – 阅读理解，C – 翻译，D – 写作。每个部分评估不同的技能。A部分测试名词、冠词、形容词和基本动词的知识。B部分检查你是否能理解短文并提取具体信息。C部分在法语和英语之间转换，D部分要求你写一小段文字。
Each section has a total of 10 marks, making the whole paper worth 40 marks. You should spend about 15 minutes on each part. Time management is important, so practise with a timer.
每个部分总分10分，整份试卷共40分。你应在每个部分花费大约15分钟。时间管理很重要，所以练习时请使用计时器。
2. Nouns and Articles: Getting Gender Right | 名词与冠词：正确掌握词性
In Section A, you will see questions like: 'Choose the correct article: ___ chat (a) un (b) une (c) des'. The answer is 'un' because 'chat' is masculine. Remember, every French noun has a gender. Masculine nouns usually use 'un' (indefinite) and 'le' (definite), while feminine nouns use 'une' and 'la' s: . There are patterns: nouns ending in -age, -eau, -ment are often masculine; those ending in -tion, -sion, -té are often feminine.
在A部分，你会看到这样的题目：“选择正确的冠词：___ chat (a) un (b) une (c) des”。答案是“un”，因为“chat”是阳性。记住，每个法语名词都有性别。阳性名词通常用“un”（不定冠词）和“le”（定冠词），阴性名词用“une”和“la”。有一些规律：以-age、-eau、-ment结尾的名词通常是阳性；以-tion、-sion、-té结尾的通常是阴性。
Pay attention to 'des', which is used for plural nouns regardless of gender. For example, 'des chats' means some cats. A common mistake is using 'des' for singular nouns. Also, note that before a vowel or silent h, 'le' and 'la' become 'l'', e.g., 'l'école' (f).
注意“des”，它用于复数名词，无论性别。例如“des chats”表示一些猫。一个常见错误是在单数名词前使用“des”。此外，注意在元音或不发音的h前，“le”和“la”变成“l’”，如“l’école”（阴性）。
3. Adjectives: Agreement and Position | 形容词：配合与位置
In the test, you might be asked to complete a sentence: 'Ma soeur est très ___ (intelligent)'. The correct form is 'intelligente' because 'soeur' masculine plural, and -es for feminine plural. Some common adjectives are irregular, like 'beau' -> 'belle', 'vieux' -> 'vieille'.
在测试中，你可能会被要求完成句子：“Ma soeur est très ___ (intelligent)”。正确的形式是“intelligente”，因为“soeur”是阴性，形容词必须配合。大多数形容词阴性加-e，阳性复数加-s，阴性复数加-es。一些常用形容词不规则，如“beau”变成“belle”，“vieux”变成“vieille”。
Also, most French adjectives come after the noun, but some short and very common ones (BANGS – Beauty, Age, Number, Goodness, Size) come before: un petit garçon, une belle maison. If the practice paper asks you to place the adjective correctly, think BANGS.
此外，大多数法语形容词放在名词之后，但一些短且非常常用的（BANGS – 美、年龄、数、善、尺寸）放在前面：un petit garçon, une belle maison。如果模拟卷要求你正确放置形容词，想想BANGS规则。
4. Mastering être and avoir | 掌握être和avoir
Two of the most important verbs in French are 'être' (to be) and 'avoir' (to have). In Section A, you may need to conjugate them. For example, 'Je ___ (être) anglais.' The answer is 'suis' ke . Make sure you know the full present tense: je suis, tu es, il/elle/on est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont for être; j'ai, tu as, il/elle/on a, nous avons, vous avez, ils/elles ont for avoir.
法语中最重要的两个动词是“être”（是）和“avoir”（有）。在A部分，你可能需要变位它们。例如，“Je ___ (être) anglais.”答案是“suis”。确保你知道完整的现在时变位：être – je suis, tu es, il/elle/on est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont；avoir – j’ai, tu as, il/elle/on a, nous avons, vous avez, ils/elles ont。
A common error is forgetting the liaison or silent letters: 'ils sont' sounds like 'il sont' but the 's' is not pronounced in 'ils' unless followed by a vowel. In the writing section, spelling counts. Also, 'avoir' is used to express age: 'J'ai douze ans' (I am twelve), literally 'I have twelve years'.
一个常见错误是忘记联诵或哑音字母：“ils sont”听起来像“il sont”，但“ils”中的“s”不发音，除非后面跟元音。在写作部分，拼写很重要。此外，“avoir”用于表达年龄：“J’ai douze ans”（我十二岁），字面意思是“我有十二年”。
5. Numbers, Dates and Times | 数字、日期与时间
The test often includes listening or reading tasks involving numbers. You should be able to write numbers from 1 to 100, especially the tricky ones: 70 (soixante-dix), 71 (soixante et onze), 80 (quatre-vingts), 81 (quatre-vingt-un), 90 (quatre-vingt-dix), 91 (quatre-vingt-onze). Knowing how to say the date is crucial: 'Mon anniversaire est le cinq mai.' Note the format: day + month, no capital letter for the month.
测试经常包含涉及数字的听力或阅读任务。你应该能够写出1到100的数字，特别是棘手的那些：70 (soixante-dix), 71 (soixante et onze), 80 (quatre-vingts), 81 (quatre-vingt-un), 90 (quatre-vingt-dix), 91 (quatre-vingt-onze)。知道如何说日期至关重要：“Mon anniversaire est le cinq mai.”注意格式：日+月，月份不大写。
For time, use 'Il est' + number + 'heure(s)': 'Il est trois heures.' To say half past, add 'et demie'; for quarter past, 'et quart'; for quarter to, 'moins le quart'. The 24-hour clock is common: 14h00 is 'quatorze heures'. In the practice paper, you may have to convert between English and French times.
对于时间，用“Il est” + 数字 + “heure(s)”：“Il est trois heures.” 表示半点，加“et demie”；表示一刻过，加“et quart”；表示差一刻，用“moins le quart”。24小时制很常见：14h00是“quatorze heures”。在模拟卷中，你可能需要在英语和法语时间之间转换。
6. Reading Comprehension: Finding the Gist | 阅读理解：抓住主旨
Section B gives you short texts, such as an email or a profile. You must answer questions in English. A common pitfall is trying to understand every word. Instead, read the questions first, then scan the text for keywords. For example, if the question is 'What is Pierre's favourite subject?', look for 'matière préférée' or a school subject like 'le français'.
B部分给出短文，如一封电子邮件或个人简介。你必须用英语回答问题。一个常见陷阱是试图理解每个单词。相反，先读问题，然后扫读文本寻找关键词。例如，如果问题是“皮埃尔最喜欢的科目是什么？”，寻找“matière préférée”或者像“le français”这样的学校科目。
Watch out for negatives: 'Je n'aime pas les maths' means 'I don't like maths'. Also, connectives like 'mais' (but) and 'cependant' (however) can change the meaning. In the walkthrough, we'll practice with a sample text about someone's family and hobbies.
注意否定：“Je n’aime pas les maths”意思是“我不喜欢数学”。另外，连接词如“mais”（但是）和“cependant”（然而）可能改变意思。在解析中，我们将练习一段关于某人的家庭和爱好的样文。
Sample text: 'Bonjour, je m'appelle Léa. J'habite à Cardiff avec ma mère, mon père et mes deux frères. J'aime le sport, surtout le tennis, mais je déteste la natation. Mon anniversaire est le 14 mars. Au collège, j'étudie le français, l'anglais, les sciences et la musique. Ma matière préférée est la musique parce que c'est amusant.' Question: 'How many siblings does Léa have?' Answer: Two brothers. (deux frères).
样文：“Bonjour, je m’appelle Léa. J’habite à Cardiff avec ma mère, mon père et mes deux frères. J’aime le sport, surtout le tennis, mais je déteste la natation. Mon anniversaire est le 14 mars. Au collège, j’étudie le français, l’anglais, les sciences et la musique. Ma matière préférée est la musique parce que c’est amusant.”问题：“Léa有多少兄弟姐妹？”答案：两个兄弟。(deux frères)。
7. Translation: French into English | 翻译：法译英
French into English. The key is to translate the meaning, not word-for-word. For example: 'Je vais au cinéma avec mes amis le samedi.' Good translation: 'I go to the cinema with my friends on Saturdays.' Not: 'I go to the cinema with my friends the Saturday.' Pay attention to contracted articles: 'au' = à + le, 'du' = de + le.
C部分通常从几个法语句子翻译成英语开始。关键是翻译意思，而不是逐字翻译。例如：“Je vais au cinéma avec mes amis le samedi.”好的翻译：“I go to the cinema with my friends on Saturdays.”不是：“I go to the cinema with my friends the Saturday.”注意缩合冠词：“au” = à + le，“du” = de + le。
Common stumbling blocks include the pronoun 'on', which means 'we/one/people', and expressions like 'il y a' (there is/there are). Also, 'c'est' translates as 'it is' or 'this is'. In the walkthrough, we'll break down three typical sentences and show how to score full marks.
常见绊脚石包括代词“on”，意为“我们/人们/大家”，以及表达“il y a”（有）。还有“c’est”译为“这是”或“它是”。在解析中，我们将拆解三个典型句子并展示如何获得满分。
