Training Practise - Listening & Branching Out - BTS-CI2

This video was given for the exam last year.

Please, proceed as if it were your exam.

=> watch/listen X2 (2 minutes/break in between)

=> when done, work with your notes for 30 minutes in order to prepare:

1. your account in French (5min max)
2. your branching out (5 min max)
3. the interview

Of course, what I expect you to prepare more intensively is the branching out. Indeed, it's not easy but remember, it's also what is going to bonify your expertise.

To do so, you must find a topic connected to what you've seen on the video but without repeating your account. Ask yourself questions such as:

• what topic can I relate this video to?
• which arguments can I use? 
• examples? (use your past lessons of course)
• conclude with your opinion

Your preparation should give birth to a structured outline that will help you present your point in autonomy for 5 minutes. Don't hesitate to record yourself and swap with your friends to get some feedback. I will listen to some of you after the holidays.

Take care & work well :)
