2. Focus on Tom Bolles and Al Ubrickson.
a. Compare their physical appearances. (30 words)
Tom Bolles is ‘a slim young man’ ‘with a bland, pleasant face, a bit lean in the jowls’, wearing ‘wire-rimmed
glasses’, having ‘a distinctly scholarly look’, the look of an ‘educator’.or of a ‘professor’ Ll.1-8. On the contrary, Al
Ubrickson is described as a much stronger, imposing man. Ll.40-41: ‘He was tall, muscular, broad-shouldered, and

DOCUMENTS A ET B

9. In what ways are Documents A and B related? (30 words)
Documents A and B deal with rowing, a sport taught at the University of Washington. Document A focuses on the
coaches’ side while Document B is about the students’ experience. We also learn about the many titles won by members
of this University, including National and Olympic ones.
5 points
➤ ENTENTE;
2 points (1 pt for “rowing”, 1 pt for “at university” pas nécessairement "University of Washington" )

3 points pour toute mise en relation pertinente - par exemple
- DOC A "prospective" vs. DOC B "retrospective"
- DOC A "fiction" vs. DOC B "real"
- DOC A "a team in the making" vs. DOC B "a team that made history"

10. Focus on Bolles (Document A) and Bob Moch (Document B). Do they seem to agree on what is
needed to succeed in their sport? (30 words)
According to Bolles the training process is a long one which needs to be worked on again and again. Bob Moch describes
his winning race in the Olympic Games as a mere job to do. However, both think you need to remain focused to succeed.
5 points
➤ ENTENTE;

2, 5 POINTS Bolles - 1) strength combined with 2) intelligence OR his vision that rowing is as much technical
as it is artistic (“at least as much art as brawn” l. 20)

2, 5 POINTS Bob Moch - 1) focus on the immediate objective, i.e. winning - No reference to the artistery or
intelligence needed to succeed.
11. Document A, lines 27-29 “Would the farm boys be able to pick up with the intellectual side of the sport?
Would the city boys have the toughness simply to survive? Most of them, Bolles knew, would not.”
What does this reveal about Bolles’ personal opinion as regards these boys? (40 words).

Bolles thinks that most of these young men won’t succeed in making the team. To him, most ‘city boys’ lack the toughness
required to develop sufficient physical abilities while ‘farm boys’ are unable to grasp the intellectual side of it. He seems
quite pessimistic, and has preconceived ideas.
10 points
➤ ENTENTE;

1) He is doubtful that he will be able to find that rare combination of physical strength and subtlelty/ 4 points
thinks that most of these young men won’t succeed in making the team.

2) to him, most ‘city boys’ lack the toughness required to develop sufficient physical abilities 2 points

3) ‘farm boys’ are unable to grasp the intellectual side of it. 2 points

4) has preconceived ideas / simplistic vision/ stereotypes 2 points

Seuls les candidats de la série L composant au titre de la LVO (Langue Vivante Obligatoire) traitent la question 12.

12. Document B, lines 20-22 “The guys from 1936 don't much like the notion of rowers training full time into
their 30s to be members of national teams. ‘We had lives to live, jobs to do,’ McMillin said. ‘We were amateurs.”
What does this statement imply ***LE SUJET; “What does that satement mean” ? (50 words)
Although McMillin and his teammates enjoyed their sport and were greatly successful, they had to study to get a
university degree and then find a job since they couldn’t rely on rowing for a living. What is more, they might not
have considered practising rowing as their ultimate goal, but simply as an activity among others. Nowadays, most
athletes enjoy a professional career of some sorts and devote themselves to full time training. It would seem
unlikely to win a gold medal these days without doing so.
10 points
➤ ENTENTE;
4 POINTS- 1) In the 1930s, amateurs with limited training would represent the USA on national teams / would
perform at the highest level
4 POINTS- 2) But they would not sacrifice the other aspects of their lives /rowing as simply an activity among
others.
2 POINTS- 3) Contrast "in the 1930s" vs "now"
Seuls les candidats de la série L composant au titre de la LVA (Langue Vivante Approfondie) traitent la
question 13.

13. Document B lines 16-18: "They might not have been aware of the significance of winning a gold medal in
Germany at that time, but people back home were." Comment upon this statement. (50 words)
As Jim McMillin states it line 3 “That boat never lost a race”. He and his team members focused on sports and
nothing else. What is more, they were on a college team and even though they represented their country, racing in
The Olympic Games may well have been just another race. To the rest of their fellow countrymen, winning a gold
medal had a political significance in Nazi Germany and was a major political issue at that time.
10 points
➤ ENTENTE;
5 POINTS - La perspective des athlètes
5 POINTS - L’importance pour le reste du pays L’explication par la référence au contexte politique de l’époque

A-“COHÉRENCE DE LA CONSTRUCTION DU DISCOURS”

Nous accordons 5 points /5 dans cette catégorie aux textes qui
1. sont présentés sous la forme d’une série de paragraphes ET
2. développent une pensée complète - annoncée dans l’introduction sous forme de “thesis statement” OU de
question(s) problématisée(s)
B- “RÉALISATION DE LA TÂCHE”

Sujet LVO- 1- Motivational speech

- Pour un 5 /5 pour “Réalisation de la tâche”
 Le discours s’adresse à des jeunes gens et porte sur l’impact positif que le sport peut avoir dans leur vie.
Un discours portant sur les Jeux de 1936 et Hitler serait hors propos - tout comme un discours sur les
méfaits du dopage. (2 /5)
 Jim McMilin fait référence à son passé - en lui donnant une portée contemporaine. On devrait donc
s’attendre à ce que ses arguments reflètent son expérience personnelle telle que présentée dans le texte.

Sujet LVO- 2 - Professional sports

- Pour un 5 /5 pour “Réalisation de la tâche”
On attend une clarification et une discussion de ce que la question sous-entend

 Le candidat peut choisir de discuter le pour et le contre - mais doit également prendre position.

 Le candidat peut choisir de présenter sa position (pour, contre, nuancée) - mais avoir également clarifié
l'existence d'un débat sur la question; ; l'opposition entre
Le passé / des amateurs / le triomphe des valeurs sportives vs. Le présent / des professionnels prêts à
tout pour gagner

Sujet LVA - 2 “The best in people”
- Pour un 5 /5 pour “Réalisation de la tâche”

 Le candidat peut choisir de discuter du pour et du contre - mais doit également prendre position

 Le candidat peut choisir de présenter sa position (pour, contre, nuancée) - mais avoir également clarifié
l'existence d'un débat sur la question (the best vs. the worst)
