Topics that will definitely appear in the TEF/TCF Canada exams
Let's discuss what topics you should be aware of one way or another in order to:
- first, so that the writing section doesn’t catch you off guard. Remember, the final task in both TEF and TCF gives you a particularly sensitive issue and asks you to express your own opinion ⠀
- secondly, do not go into the astral plane during the last task of the oral part TCF, in which you will have to defend your point of view for 4 and a half minutes ⠀
- thirdly, make your reading and listening life easier in advance by learning new vocabulary. ⠀
I’ve compiled a hefty list of all the essentials, so the next time you find yourself choosing what to read in the newspapers, which video to watch on Youtube, or which chapter to open in the textbook on Vocabulaire, start with these topics👇 ⠀
I tried to combine them into categories and described some according to the principle from general to specific, so that it would be clear in which direction to go deeper, if you have the opportunity and time: ⠀
▪️environnement / écologie / énergie / effet de serre / recyclage / gestes éco-citoyens
▪️santé / hygiène / beauté
▪️économie / budget familial / argent de poche
▪️politique / immigration
▪️voiture / circulation routière
▪️mode / style / vêtements / accessoires
▪️médias / presse / internet / réseaux sociaux / vie privée
▪️art / culture / cinéma / musique
▪️voyages / vacances / loisirs / tourisme
▪️conflits sociaux / égalité des sexes / mode de vie / urbanisme / consommation
▪️vie des animaux
▪️terre / espace / mer
▪️sciences / technologies / informatique / recherches
▪️cuisine / végétarisme / alimentation
▪️école / enseignement supérieur / langues étrangères
▪️éducation des enfants / relations familiales
▪️recherche d’emploi / vie professionnelle ⠀
It may seem like you need to be aware of everything in the world. But, having analyzed the tasks known to me that were recently on the exams, if you devote at least a little time to these most pressing subjects, on day X you will not be at a loss. This is how I console both myself and you.
