Leaving Cert French Diary Entry Plan

In the French Leaving Cert exam, the majority of students do the diary written task. It is relatively easy to do well in this written piece, but it still requires that you plan it out, so that the final version is easy to read by the examiner. There are certain elements that should be included in a diary entry. Putting in idiomatic phrases is fine, as long as they make sense to the diary entry in question.
