The language examinations are almost completed; there is one candidate for Italian on Friday. Reaction to the French paper was mixed. The written topics were welcomed in the Higher paper, there being something for everyone to tackle. One aspect to be questioned is the reintroduction of topics like 'fashion' and 'obeisity' in the written section in that it inevitably leads to pupils trying to spot questions from year to year. The comprehensions were fair but tricky; you would need to have a very complete comprehension of the piece to answer all the questions correctly. The listening seemed to be reasonable enough, few yelps of delight or dismay. The English paper was greeted with more equanimity. Pupils seemed to like the topics that arose and found the comprehension pieces accessible.
