Part 1 — Guided Interview (Entretien dirigé)
No preparation. About 1 minute. You answer the examiner's questions about yourself, your family, your hobbies, or your activities. Examples: "Comment vous vous appelez ?", "Quelle est votre nationalité ?", "Qu'est-ce que vous aimez faire ?"
Part 2 — Information Exchange (Échange d'informations)
With preparation. About 2 minutes. You draw six keyword cards at random. Using these keywords, you ask questions to the examiner to get to know them better. You don't have to use the exact word — you can ask a question about the theme. Example: with the card "Date de naissance", you can ask "Vous avez quel âge ?". Sample keywords: Prénom ? Pays ? Frère ? Lecture ? Dimanche ? Café ? Animaux ? Manger ? Piscine ? Profession ?
Part 3 — Role Play (Dialogue simulé)
With preparation. About 2 minutes. You draw two subjects and choose one. You play the role of a customer in a French shop. You ask about prices, order items, and pay using play money and coins. Don't forget to greet and use polite expressions. Sample scenarios: • At the grocery store: You buy products for a friend's birthday party. • At the bakery: It's noon, you want to buy lunch. • At the tourism office: You want to travel from Paris to Lyon and ask about transport options and prices.
