To earn this badge you have to be able to give the following personal information:

• how you feel
• your name
• your age
• your birthday
• your family (siblings and/or parents and/or uncle-aunt and/or grandparents)

This can be done as a speech or as an interview (in which case one of your peers or your teacher will ask you a question for you to answer each bullet point). Don’t forget to say hello and goodbye!

Success criteria:

• COMMUNICATION: at least 4 of the 5 bullet points covered.
• RANGE AND ACCURACY OF LANGUAGE: correct word order and mostly correct verbs’ endings.
• PRONUNCIATION AND INTONATION: consistently good accent and intonation. Correct pronunciation of these letters:
  • h[silent]
  • e[silent at the end]
  • ç[s] (as in ça va)
• INTERACTION AND FLUENCY: conversation sustained at a reasonable speed, language expressed fluently.

Here is an excellent example of a pupil describing himself and mentioning his sibling.

Vincent et Mademoiselle Tharsis

PS: He used “Je suis né le…” (I was born on – past tense) instead of “Mon anniversaire, c’est le…” (My birthday is on – present tense). It brings a higher level of quality to his work.
