[10] L t et manger dehors, a va ensemble. Et quand on part en pique-nique, l v nement fait la joie de tous. Un peu d organisation, et voil un repas que l on peut transformer en activit agr able et pas ch re. La base de tout pique-nique c est, bien s r, le pain! Plut t que de l utiliser pour les ternels sandwichs, d gustez-le tout seul. En variant les diff rentes sortes de pain, vous pourrez plaire tout le monde. Choisissez les petits pitas au bl entier, le pain belge, une bonne miche aux sept c r ales ou bien des baguettes. Et n ayez pas peur! Une tranche ne contient pas plus de calories qu un fruit. On aime bien prendre de la charcuterie, des p t s ou des viandes froides en piquenique parce que a ne n cessite pas de pr paration. Mais quelle est la valeur nutritive de ces produits? En g n ral, ce sont de bonnes sources de prot ines; cependant, ils contiennent peu de vitamines et de min raux, en plus d tre sal s et tr s gras. Optez donc pour les choix les moins sal s et moins gras: dinde roul e et jambon cuit. Un fromage p te molle, comme le brie, n est pas n cessairement plus gras qu un fromage p te ferme comme le cheddar. On ne peut pas d terminer la quantit de mati res grasses en regardant le fromage. Le moyen le plus s r est de v rifier le pourcentage de mati res grasses indiqu sur le paquet. Durant les belles journ es ensoleill es, il est important de surveiller la temp rature des aliments que l on transporte. Pour les conserver bien au frais, on conseille de pr parer le jour pr c dent des blocs de glace dans des sacs en plastique et de les placer c t des aliments. Si l on pr f re, on peut utiliser des petites bo tes de jus individuelles congel es avant le jour du pique-nique. On peut aussi prendre une bo te herm tique dans laquelle on d posera des cubes de glace avant de partir. Indispensables pour une sortie sans difficult s: sac ordures, serviettes de table, assiettes, verres, ustensiles, ouvre-bouteille, nappe, et beau temps. N oubliez pas l eau; elle est indispensable! Faites attention la possibilit de contamination, les oeufs, le poulet et la mayonnaise devraient rester la maison, moins que vous puissiez les garder bien au froid toute la journ e. Pour les salades, m langez la vinaigrette la derni re minute, juste avant de manger. Maintenant c est vous de trouver un joli coin et d inviter des amis. Amusez-vous bien! Comp. French June 02 [4] 19 Pour bien conserver les aliments, que devriezvous faire le soir avant votre d part? (1) ajouter de la vinaigrette aux salades (2) jeter les sacs en plastique (3) pr parer des gla ons (4) mettre les sandwichs dans un panier 16 Dans le passage, on vous propose (1) de couper le pain en tranches (2) de choisir une vari t de pains (3) de manger le pain avec les fruits (4) d envelopper le pain dans du plastique 17 Selon le texte, il est pr f rable (1) d ajouter la viande la salade (2) d acheter du rosbif (3) de garder la viande au chaud (4) de choisir de la charcuterie peu sal e et grasse 20 Quelle expression pourrait bien marquer la fin de cet article? (1) la prochaine. (2) Bon app tit! (3) Au secours. (4) D p chez-vous! 18 Qu est-ce que le texte sugg re au sujet du fromage? (1) Il faut lire la description sur le paquet. (2) Ils sont tous les m mes. (3) Les plus chers sont les meilleurs. (4) Les plus gras sont bons pour la sant . Comp.

In Part 4b, students are instructed to write either a narrative based on a picture or a letter. The narrative or letter must contain at least 10 clauses for a total of 10 credits. The answers to Part 4 must be written in the student s own words; no credit should be given for a response that is copied or substantially the same as material from other parts of the examination. [OVER] COMPREHENSIVE FRENCH continued In order to qualify for any credit, the note and the narrative/letter must achieve the stated purpose. The rating procedure described below provides for one credit for each clause: 2 3 credit for comprehensibility-appropriateness and 1 3 credit for form. The six clauses in the note (Part 4a) may be contained in fewer than six sentences, and the 10 clauses in the narrative/letter (Part 4b) may be contained in fewer than 10 sentences. For the purpose of rating, a clause must contain a verb, a stated or implied subject, and additional words necessary to convey meaning. The intent is to credit the ideas expressed, regardless of the number of sentences in which they are expressed. Comprehensibility is determined by the rater s visual inspection and judgment as to whether the clause would be understood by a literate native reader of French who knows no English, but is used to dealing with foreigners. Appropriateness is determined on the basis of the clause s contribution to the development of the note and narrative/letter. Form is adherence to conventional rules of grammar and orthography. Procedure: For rating Part 4, the student s answer booklet contains three columns labeled C (Comprehensibility), A (Appropriateness), and F (Form). For Part 4a, the columns are numbered 1 through 6 to correspond to the first six clauses in the note, and for Part 4b, the columns are numbered 1 through 10 to correspond to the first 10 clauses in the narrative/letter. 1. Read the note or the narrative/letter in its entirety to determine whether the stated purpose has been achieved. If the purpose has not been achieved, leave all boxes for that note or narrative/letter blank. 2. Proceed as follows if the purpose of the note or the narrative/letter has been achieved: Identify the first six clauses in the note or the first 10 clauses in the narrative/letter by slash marks as shown in the examples ( 1, 2, 3, etc.). Do not include the datelines, salutations, and closings supplied in the student s test booklet. Rate only the clauses you have identified by slash marks. Determine the comprehensibility-appropriateness of the first clause. If the clause is incomprehensible or inappropriate, leave all three boxes blank and go on to the next clause. If the clause is comprehensible and appropriate, place a checkmark [ ] in the C box and in the A box. Evaluate the form of the first clause by underlining ALL errors. Do not underline more than three diacritical marks in each note or narrative/letter. (The past practice of circling repeated errors has been discontinued.) If the clause contains no more than one error, place a checkmark in the F box (i.e., there is no penalty for one error per clause). If the clause contains more than one error, leave the F box blank. Rate the remaining clauses in the same manner. After rating the note and the narrative/letter, count the number of checkmarks. Write the total number in the blank next to Total Checks below the narrative/letter. Divide that number by three and round the result to the nearest whole number. Write that whole number in the Credit box for Part 4. The following table is provided for your convenience in converting the total number of checkmarks to credit for Part 4.
