There are three main components to a French oxbridge interview that you can prepare for:1) You will be given a passage of prose or poem in French or English, and asked to comment on the form, content, and structure. Knowing literary devices and how to recognise them is vital to excelling in this part of the interview. You must be very familiar with the methodology of analysing prose and poetry, in order that the half an hour prior to the interview to prepare the passage or poem be well spent. You should use this time to thoroughly pick apart the structure, and identify several main points on content, form and style that you would like to raise during the interview. Remember to comment on your own personal views on the poem as well - how it made you feel reading it, whether you liked the poem (it is fine to say that you disliked it, as long as you can back up your opinions!), and what you think the poem is about.2) The next part of the interview will be a short discussion of your personal statement, where you are likely to be asked questions pertaining to the literature you have read and mentioned in your personal statement. Be prepared to say a little bit about each text you included, focusing on particular plot points or aspects of the author's style that you enjoyed, and what you enjoyed about the text.3) The final part of the interview will be conducted in French, and you will be asked questions about your hobbies, probably focusing in on the extracurricular pursuits you mentioned in the final paragraph of your personal statement. Be prepared to have a brief discussion in French on the extracurricular activities you mentioned, specifically any that are linked to modern languages.
