Read your items quickly but carefully. Remember that you have only thirty minutes of preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Choose an article for presentation based on your familiarity with and how knowledgeable you are on the theme and subject matter. You should select an article according to your level of knowledge in that area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">2. &nbsp; Identify and organize the information from the extra text. You will be giving this information at the start of the expose. It is often referred to as \u00ab\u00a0the presentation of the text\u00a0\u00bb and it includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the title of the article<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the subtitle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the \u00ab&nbsp;chapeau&nbsp;\u00bb of the article (paragraph of introduction)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the theme<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the main ideas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the source: information on the author, the name of the book or document from which the extract was taken, the date of publication, the publishing house etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the problem, conflict or situation to resolve which is called in French the \u00ab&nbsp;probl\u00e9matique&nbsp;\u00bb<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright wp-image-10507 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frenchcourses-paris.com\/images\/2018\/01\/student-revising-for-the-delf-exam-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Studying for the DELF Exam - DELF B2 preparation course\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frenchcourses-paris.com\/images\/2018\/01\/student-revising-for-the-delf-exam-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.frenchcourses-paris.com\/images\/2018\/01\/student-revising-for-the-delf-exam-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.frenchcourses-paris.com\/images\/2018\/01\/student-revising-for-the-delf-exam-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.frenchcourses-paris.com\/images\/2018\/01\/student-revising-for-the-delf-exam.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">3. Identify the probl\u00e9matique as this will form the basis of the expose. After having identified the problem presented in the text, it will be your task and mission to bring some kind of resolution to this problem. You may approach the discussion from one of at least three main angles: (1) for &nbsp;(2) against &nbsp;(3) neutral. &nbsp;Decide upon the angle that you will argue from and generate at least three main points for discussion which are tied into the \u00ab\u00a0probl\u00e9matique\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">4. Use examples, illustration, and data to substantiate and support your main points. If not your points will be too broad and your delivery and argument will lack the power of persuasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">5. Select a plan for your delivery and organize the content of the expose accordingly. Here are various plans that you may want to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the comparative plan: the idea here is to highlight differences between two or more phenomena or subjects.&nbsp; A common approach is to show the advantages and disadvantages of&#8230; \/&nbsp; points for and points against&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the dialectic plan: present your thesis or argument that you set out to prove. This is followed by an antithesis which is an argument that stands in opposition to the thesis. To resolve both conflicting positions, the synthesis will follow which may likely lead to a completely new position from what was first presented.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the analytical plan which are arguments based on logical reasoning such as; causes \/ consequence, problems \/ solution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">the thematic plan. The arguments are given from a thematic point of view such as, political, social, environmental, economic, scientific among others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to make use of those all too important connectors in order to link your ideas together nicely and to enhance the logic and progression of your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">6.\u00a0 Though you are allowed to have written material in the exam room, do not write out the complete expos\u00e9 with the intention to read it aloud. This does not constitute an expose. Remember the jury will be marking your speaking and argumentative skills not your reading skills. The plan containing your main and supporting arguments with examples should suffice to carry you through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">7.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prepare a brief outline of your expos\u00e9. Along with the presentation of the text at the start of the oral delivery, this will help to give you a smooth start, boost your confidence and put you more at ease since less cognitive effort will be needed for this introductory phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Delivery of the Expos\u00e9<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">1. Be sure to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>greet the examiners.&nbsp;<\/em><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">acknowledge their presence and utterances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">introduce yourself.<em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">2. Start the delivery with a presentation of the text. Then give a simple outline of the major points of the expos\u00e9. It shows that you are well organized and that you know what you are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now go for gold you are well on your way to a successful delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">4.&nbsp;&nbsp; Do&nbsp; not rush. Take your time to speak and to give attention to clarity. Remember you have 20 minutes. That is a lot so there is really no need to rush!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do not be bothered by the apparent aggressive demeanor of the examiner particularly during the two way interaction. It is in fact a mere role play. So do not think that they are upset because of the influx of immigrants to France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do not focus on mistakes that you have recognized that you have made. It is pointless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>General Themes of the DELF B2 Course in Paris<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">1. politics &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 7.&nbsp; defense<br>2. religion&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8.&nbsp; economy<br>3. education&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 9.&nbsp; health<br>4. ecology &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;10. history<br>5. culture &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 11. fashion<br>6. law and justice &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 12. career and profession<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frenchcourses-paris.com\/french-classes-in-paris-contact-caroline\/\" title=\"Contact Caroline\">Contact Caroline<\/a> if you wish to know more about her DELF B2 course in Paris<\/p>\n<cite>Alternatively, you may choose to prepare the DALF C1 and DALF C2 for advanced learners.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get ready with an effective DELF B2 Course in Paris or online.
