French 1: Lesson 1: OP (Speaking Test) Study Guide

Please be prepared to do all three of the following conversations when I call on you for the OP Test. You will present one of the "Conversations" and one "Tu As la Parole", but I will not tell you which ones you will be doing until I call you up.

Conversations

In this part of the Speaking Performance Test, I will describe a situation and then ask you some related questions. In your answers, use the vocabulary and structures you have learned. Use your imagination.

1. Conversation A

I have just arrived from Paris and we are meeting for the first time. Please answer my questions. Comment t'appelles-tu?
  • Bonjour, [insert name]. Ça va?
  • Je suis de Paris. Et toi?
  • Je suis français(e). Et toi, tu es américain(e)?

2. Conversation B

I am from Montreal. We have just met at an International Club. Please answer my questions.
  • Je m'appelle Marc (Isabelle). Et toi?
  • Salut, [insert name]. Comment vas-tu?
  • Je suis de Montréal. Tu es de Montréal aussi?
  • Je suis canadien(ne). Et toi, tu es anglais(e)?

Tu As la Parole

In this part of the Speaking Performance Test, you have the opportunity to make three comments about a familiar topic. Use only the structures and vocabulary you know. Use your imagination.
