DALF C1: Synthesis and Formal Register
Summarise several documents and write in a formal style.
The DALF C1 asks you to work from several documents: a synthesis without personal opinion, an argued essay in a formal register, and an oral presentation followed by a debate. Learn the method of the synthesis, the vocabulary of the formal register and the reformulation techniques that C1 graders reward.
