Savez-vous épeler?…

I was supposed to publish a test yesterday yet I did not find the time… I could not tell why but… this week brought another wave of people looking for help in order to get ready for their three SLE tests. To make a story short, I was too busy to take care of my blog!… Shame on me!

Since I do not have much time for chatting, here is the test I found for you today: it is an interesting  literary text written by a Québécois with an Italian background. Actually, all you will have to do is to choose the correct spelling of some words… some of them are quite easy (in my opinion), some others present a higher degree of difficulty. I got 60/60, but not without having hesitated on one particular word that I kept changing… finally, it appears my final decision was the right one!

After a cold and rainy Spring, there was a drastic shift this week!

C’est le Canada! Un jour on gèle et le lendemain on étouffe sous la canicule!… Heureusement, il y a la baignade!

Enjoy the beach!… and if it is too hot for you outside, take my test here!

Amusez-vous bien!

    Bonjour Lyne,

    J’ai eu 40/60… Pas terrible ! J’ai appris deux nouveaux mots : jaquemart et gibbeux. C’est la première fois que je les rencontre ;)

      Bonjour Isabelle!

      Moi-même je ne connaissais pas la définition de «gibbeux», d’ailleurs c’est sur ce mot que j’ai hésité: un ou deux «b»?!? Finalement, il s’est avéré que j’avais fait le bon choix en optant pour la consonne double! ;-) Évidemment, je me suis empressée d’avoir recours au bon vieux dictionnaire lorsque j’ai eu fini ce test!

      Mis à part les mots que tu ne connaissais pas, tu ne sembles avoir aucune difficulté quant à l’orthographe de base!

      Bonne fin de semaine!
