Épreuve blanche PO 3 : le débat en conditions réelles

Unité PO-32 · campagne 19 · la seconde moitié de l'épreuve : la joute.

The exam's second half: after your exposé, the examiner spends about 10 minutes attacking your own argument line — and marks how your French holds sous pression. This timed run rehearses exactly that phase: state your position, then face the challenges in one continuous sitting.

The moves are the six you drilled (PO-24…29); under the clock they cycle:

• Defend with new material, never by repetition.
• Concede the fair point — vous avez raison sur ce point, cela dit... — without surrendering.
• Rebut with method: restate, name the flaw, counter.
• Conclude the exchange yourself, in three sentences, inside the time.

One rule of engagement: grammar under pressure is the mark. When the pace rises, articles, agreements and clitics fall first — garder son sang-froid vaut des points de registre. Set the clock, state your stance, and hold the débat to its end.

When the clock runs out, close with the three-sentence conclusion (PO-29) even if a challenge is left — at the exam, ending in control beats answering everything.
