COLLE 15: WORK
Vocabulary: Learn the vocabulary for this colle. Your colleur will test you at the beginning of the session. Make sure you can spell all words correctly in English.
To help you prepare for your colle, I have also added a folder entitled "COLLE TEXTS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS (to help you prepare for your colle)" containing colle texts from previous years. You can use these texts to broaden your reflection on the topic and to find additional examples and arguments, but these are NOT the texts you are to prepare for this colle.
- First student: home preparation of this week’s text or PETITES MINES COLLE. Only BRIEF notes are allowed. Do not come with fully written-out notes or your colleur will collect them. This is an oral test: you must sound fluent and spontaneous.
- Second student: 20-minute preparation of a newspaper article (≈500 words) dealing with work (remote work, digital nomadism, working from home, flexible working, the four-day week, burnout, workplace pressure, work-life balance, gender inequality at work, young people at work, career progression, AI and jobs, etc.), provided by the colleur; or PETITES MINES COLLE.
- Third student: 30–40-minute preparation of a 2025 CCINP recording selected by the colleur from this selection: 26, 55, 132, or 133; or PETITES MINES COLLE.
Please make sure to download the files before coming in. The cellular connection is weak in Building D.
