Production écrite

Speech forgives what writing records. Les décisions qu'il a prises sounds exactly like les décisions qu'il a pris, and for years nobody has been able to tell which one you meant — but on paper the missing -es is visible to every reader, and to the examiner it is a marked error in the accuracy column. This is the domain where an immersed speaker's fluency stops carrying them, because French writes distinctions it has stopped pronouncing.

So it starts with the surface: accents that change a word, verb endings you cannot hear, the homophones that catch everyone (a/à, ses/ces/c'est, ou/où), and written agreement corrected in real passages rather than in isolated drills — with a re-reading protocol that sweeps for one error family at a time, because a single pass looking for everything finds nothing. Then the two genres the épreuve actually asks for: the essai argumenté and the lettre formelle, built from repeatable parts — a thesis paragraph, argument blocks of claim-development-example, the concessive move that makes an argument read as B2, and the fixed formulas a formal letter is assembled from — then written to length, against the clock, and marked on the official grid by you before anyone else sees it.
