Almost Twins… Yet not Quite!

Today is another magnificent summer day… sunny wall-to-wall… temperature in the mid-twenties… picture perfect!… Unfortunately, this will not last… soon, Fall will fall on us…

In the news department, Edna is really improving… Candice and Melody will go for both their written expression and reading comprehension tests on September the 1st… Pam will take her oral interaction test on Thursday… I guess I will be nervous in the next few days!

Since I have many students today, I will keep the updates for my next post… Today’s test is not too difficult: you will be given two sentences with only slight differences… all you will have to do is pick the one that seems more accurate from a syntax point of view… sometimes both of them are equally correct… you will decide! I got 50/50 and I expect you to do the same.

Let’s enjoy these last days of Summer…

Soon, it will look like this…

    Bonjour Lyne,

    J’ai eu un mauvais score aujourd’hui : 35/50
    J’ai imaginé des pièges qui n’existaient pas, et je n’ai pas écouté mon premier instinct, comme d’habitude :(

    Passe une très bonne journée, et profite bien des derniers jours de beau temps !

      Bonjour Isabelle!

      Et moi qui croyais avoir trouvé un test facile… mes étudiants qui l’ont essayé m’ont dit qu’ils avaient eu de la difficulté et, évidemment, ils n’ont pas obtenu une très bonne note! ;-)

      C’est souvent le cas: vous ne faites pas assez confiance à votre instinct… parfois “you are overthinking”!…

      En effet je profiterai des derniers rayons de soleil (il faisait plutôt frisquet à 8h ce matin: 8 degrés… brrr) parce qu’on prévoit de la flotte toute la fin de semaine et aussi en début de semaine… c’est l’automne quoi!

      Bonne journée à toi aussi!
