In 15 days i will take the DALF C1 exam . It s a french test where you have to take 4 tests each graded on 25 in Listening reading writing and speaking . The total is on 100.
Im 18 years old in senior year of high school . I enrolled in a class to prepare for the exam . And turns out im the younest by far . Everyone is in their late twenties if not older .
The professor was surprised to see that im this young and everyone looked weirdly at me constantly telling me that im really courage to be able to do this .
Let s talk about why is it considered hard . I read on internet a lot about the exam . For the listening for example , there are two parts the first one you have to listen to a long recording (8min) of a lecture or a conference about an abstract theme sich as happiness ,technology , work , society ...
You have to answer within two listenings only . And the thing about recordings is that there is either a dialect when speaking or else background noise .
Then for the second part a short listening with a tick the right answer system . And you have 1 minute to answer with only one listening .
As for the reading . You have one text about a complex theme like humans and nature , space , schools , progress ... it is really long and the questions require a deep understanding of the text it s like we were asked to analyse the text .
Then for the writing two sections : synthesis and essay . We have to do the synthetis of two texts who share in commun the theme but arent necessarily about the same matter . And the essay is about an abstract theme too .
Now the part that is stressing me the most is the speaking part . I have a great pronounciation in french and i mastered the language but im afraid of the concept ill be talking about .
My biggest regret was choosing science over human science and literature .
I was scared of the literature and human science cause i thought it would be about history economy arts on which
i dont know much .
But turns out that there are other good themes in that category such a work school happiness children parents ... meanwhile in science i have limited themes witha variety of concepts like technology related to medecine , medecine in general , environment and its issues and Space .
I feel like i wont be able to speak and i don t know anything about that . The reason i chose that was because i majored in science and i was afraid of literature .
Im really scared and everyone around me is discouraging me . My parents are expecting me tosucceed and they dont seem to understand me . This is my last chance to take this exam and i don t want to fail .but it s like the whole world is telling me i wont succeed .and i have 15days only left. What should i do ? Someone help me please ...im scared
