Tips to improve
- Respect the word count: texts that are too short or too long lose points.
- Plan for three minutes before writing: introduction, two ideas, conclusion.
- Vary your connectors and tenses to show the range of your French.
- Keep five minutes at the end to check agreements and accents.
