French :

Subject : French
Year : 2017
Duration : 3 Hour

Instructions :

Answer questions 1, 2 and 3 in Section I (compulsory) and two other questions from Section II on one or two of the prescribed text books.
If you answer two questions on any one book, do not base them both on the same material.
The intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in brackets [ ].

Question 1 [20]
Ecrivez une composition en français d’environ 250 mots sur UN des sujets suivants :
(a) Etes-vous pour ou contre l’interdiction de fumer dans les endroits publics ? Donnez des raisons.
(b) Racontez une querelle entre deux camarades de classe pendant la récréation (break).
(c) Décrivez une bonne ou une mauvaise nouvelle que vous avez entendue.
(d) Pensez-vous que l’e-commerce ou le commerce en ligne est une bonne option ? Justifiez votre réponse.

Question 2 [20]
Traduisez en anglais :
Pourquoi les jeunes adorent-ils les réseaux sociaux ?
Oui, les jeunes adorent Facebook. En fait, ce qu’ils adorent, c’est la dynamique des réseaux sociaux. Ils peuvent communiquer avec leurs amis, renforcer leurs amitiés, se divertir seul ou à plusieurs, planifier des sorties, publier des photos, s’échanger des informations, et bien sûr des réponses de leurs devoirs. Pratique et gratuit ! Certains utilisent aussi les réseaux sociaux pour faire de nouvelles connaissances mais c’est en fait moins fréquent. Ils préfèrent retrouver des amis ou bavarder avec des amis d’amis. Mais ces activités n’expliquent pas complètement cet engouement (craze) presque obsessionnel pour les réseaux sociaux. En effet, à travers les médias sociaux, les adolescents recherchent une forme de reconnaissance. En publiant du contenu, ils sont en attente d’une réaction de leurs pairs. Ils attendent la validation de leurs actes. Ils sont en recherche d’adhésion (support) ou d’une réaction. De cette manière, ils peuvent concrètement visualiser leur popularité dans leur groupe. Parallèlement, les groupes sociaux permettent aux jeunes de gérer (manage) leur image. En choisissant l’image qu’ils postent, ils
essayent de montrer leurs meilleurs profils, en tout cas, celui qu’ils ont envie de montrer. Ils ont l’impression de pouvoir contrôler leur réputation. Cette approche est révolutionnaire et modifie leur rapport à l’image.

Question 3
Lisez soigneusement le texte suivant et répondez aux questions qui suivent en utilisant des phrases complètes en français sans répéter les mots du texte :
