Dictation is one of the keys to the French college certificate test. Here is the French dictation of this edition of the DNB (general series). This is worth 10 points and the students had 10 minutes to complete it. The text was taken from “Fables” by Aesop (7th-6th century BC)
“The Mosquito and the Lion
A mosquito approached a lion and said to him: “I am not afraid of you, and you are not more powerful than me. If you want, I will even provoke you into battle”. And, sounding its trunk, the mosquito swooped down on him, biting the hairless muzzle around the nostrils. As for the lion, he tore himself with his own claws, until he gave up the fight. The mosquito, having vanquished the lion, sounded its trumpet, intoned a song of victory, and took flight. But he got entangled in a spider’s web: while it devoured him, he lamented being killed by a common animal, a spider, he who had fought the most powerful animals.
According to Aesop, Fables, 7th-6th century BC.
After each exam, our partner Studyrama offers an answer key to outline the answers to be provided and the references to be included in its copy. Find below the DNB French answer key from last year (general series), produced by teachers:
Pupils from mainland France have three hours to prove themselves in the written French test. It consists first of a part “grammar and linguistic skills – comprehension and skills of interpretation and dictation”, from 9 am to 10.30 am. It is a question here of realizing the explanation of an extract of literary text and exercises of grammar and rewriting. After a short break, follows a second part dedicated to writing, from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
The first part, assessed on 40 points, is based on a literary text sometimes accompanied by an image and consists of answering a series of questions on grammar, language comprehension and interpretation. The order of the questions is not insignificant, the first are rather short and address specific grammatical points while the following call for more developed and written answers based on quotations from the extract of the text provided to be studied.
After a short writing exercise, the next twenty minutes are dedicated to dictation, scored out of 10 points, of approximately 600 characters for students in the general series and 400 characters for the professional series.
After a short break of fifteen minutes, the students find their copy for the last part of the test: writing on a subject of invention or reflection of their choice, and on which the last 50 points are played.
At the patent, the value of each test is not calculated on the basis of a coefficient, but with a counting of points. As a reminder, you can obtain a maximum of 800 points during the patent. You need a minimum of 400 points out of 800 to pass. Then, when you collect more points, you can get mentions: you need at least 480 for the mention fairly well, at least 560 for the mention well, and 640 for the mention very well. The French test can pay up to 100 dots, it is therefore very important.
The 2022 patent results fall in the first half of July. If the dates of publication of the results vary according to the academies, one thing is certain: you will know your results in the French test as well as in all the other tests of the patent 2022 at the latest July 12, 2022. And after the results, it’s time to celebrate the students who obtained the best marks! A republican patent graduation ceremony is organized at each start of the school year for the winners in their college. The academies, in connection with the schools and the elected officials of the territory – mayors, departmental councillors, etc. – organize each year, an official presentation of the diplomas obtained the previous year.
According to the official website of National Education, this ceremony “brings together the educational community and elected officials around the students who complete their common school career”. Its usefulness is to “state the essential role of the school in the Republic and to congratulate the pupils who have obtained their first diploma”. National Education specifies that this makes it possible to erect “models of success”.
