This morning, I had to go out to renew my vehicle license… I had to literally push myself through the door… I knew it was really cold outside, yet I did not think of taking gloves with me… and trust me, it was bitter cold… I can imagine how it will be in a couple of months!…
Besides, I am still waiting for Krystal and Pam’s results… Is this long waiting unusual?… not at all!… The waiting period depends on paperwork, departments’ HR and other stuff such as staff’s vacation or sick leave… Since we cannot tell from one week to another, we only have to be patient!… This afternoon, I will see Melody for the last time before her oral interaction exam… I am sure that she is glad it will be over soon… although candidates are nervous about the SLE tests, towards the end, they just want to get it done and turn the page!… so they can get their lives back!…
Once again, I decided to check your ability to avoid the influence of English when you speak and write… sometimes, it is quite subtle and people are not even aware that they are using anglicism. And it is one of the reasons why we do have to pay special attention to those faux-amis or a syntax that is borrowed from English. I took the test myself and I got 50/50… well… one would not expect less from a French trainer, right? If you take that extra second to think, you should get the same score!… Were they any traps?… Hmmm… maybe one or two, but nothing to make you sweat!
I do not intend to set one foot outside again today…
It is the kind of day for staying home and enjoying a nice cup of hot chocolate!
Sit in front of a nice cracking fire and click here to play!
Bonne chance!

Bonjour Lyne,
J’ai eu 50/50. Certaines réponses étaient assez évidentes, mais d’autres demandaient plus de réflexion…
Désolée que le temps soit si froid chez toi ! Ici il fait encore très doux (19°C aujourd’hui), par contre il n’a pas plu depuis des semaines, et la nature souffre beaucoup de la sécheresse
Bravo Isabelle!
Oui… en prenant le temps de bien réfléchir, ce test n’est pas si compliqué après tout.
Il fait encore un froid de loup aujourd’hui (sans compter la grisaille)… la nuit prochaine, on prévoit 1 degré: risque de gel au sol… cependant, les températures devraient monter doucement et, dimanche, il devrait faire soleil avec un maximum de 17 degrés… Nous n’avons pas eu de pluie pendant plusieurs semaines, mais depuis le début de la semaine, la nature se reprend!… et d’aplomb!
Bonne fin de semaine et profite des derniers jours de beau temps!
