Piégés par certains verbes?

First, let’s start with the latest news… both Krystal and Edna took their reading comprehension (only Krystal) and written expression tests earlier this week: we are now waiting for the results… speaking of results, I have not heard from Pam yet who went for her written expression test last week.

Kelly… Oh Kelly! She missed her oral interaction test!… all along she thought it was on the 22nd and, when she found out it was indeed on the 21st, it was too late… Hopefully they will give her another date, though it would not agree with the usual process… Yesterday, I started preparing Mitch for his written expression test: he failed to get his B twice (not by far though)… this time, he will try to get it so that he will be able to re-enter the job competition. Tonight, I will start training with Amelia: her level in oral expired and she will be re-tested at the end of October… she needs a B… if she kept up with her French during the past five years, it should not be a problem but, if she did not, it will be more of a challenge… Melody has been offered a position conditional to the obtention of her B in oral on October 2… therefore we are working very hard these days!

And!… I heard from Candice on Monday… she made it! She got her B in oral interaction… therefore she has CBB and she complies with the language requirements of the position she applied for!…

Congratulations Candice!

This morning, I chose a test on verbs… those are often misused regarding their true meaning… Are they traps?… You will let me know… I got 40/40 yet I will not brag about it… my job forces me to be accurate when it comes to vocabulary…

Today is much cooler than the previous days, but it is bright…

It looks more and more like Fall now!…

    Bonjour Lyne,

    J’ai eu 30/40. J’ai choisi la mauvaise réponse pour “temporiser” et “atermoyer”.

    Ce test est très intéressant, car bien sûr on n’utilise pas ce genre de verbes fréquemment !

    Bonne fin de semaine et bon week-end :)

      Bonjour Isabelle,

      En effet, ces verbes ne sont pas employés couramment au quotidien… alors ça rendait le test d’autant plus amusant!… J’ai donné le lien de ce petit test sur ma page Facebook et quelqu’un n’a pas pu donner la bonne définition de «exhausser»… c’est intéressant de voir les divergences d’opinion!

      Toi aussi, profite de ta fin de semaine au max!
