La grande interview : notes de structure

Unité CO-16 · campagne 11 · trois minutes d'entretien, une carte au crayon.

The long document of the CO épreuve is often a three-to-four-minute interview. You cannot hold it in memory as sentences; you hold it as a map of moves. Interviews are built from a small repertoire, and each move is announced by a formula you can catch on the fly.

The four moves that structure everything:

1. The deferred answer. C'est vrai, et j'y reviendrai, mais laissez-moi d'abord raconter… — the guest postpones. Note the debt: a question was asked and not yet answered; the exam loves asking whether it ever was.
2. The relance. The journalist's two-word fuel injection: C'est-à-dire ? / Par exemple ? / Encore aujourd'hui ? What follows a relance is always development — concrete numbers, examples. Prime note-taking territory.
3. The topic return. Fascinant, mais revenons-en à la fusion des hôpitaux… — the journalist closes a digression and steers back. Your grid should mark the digression as an island: pleasant, rarely questioned, never the main thread.
4. The structure callback. Good interviewers count: Trois éléments, disiez-vous… et vous n'avez jamais donné le troisième. If the guest announces a list, write the slots immediately — an unfilled slot is practically a guaranteed question.

Keep the CO-01 grid (qui / quoi / position) and add one column: moves. The items below are interview fragments; every question targets one move.
