French

27 March 2006 by kristarella

I had a French test today. It was quite a bit easier than I thought it would be. I think I got the writing part correct except for thinking the word for restaurant was feminine. The listening was a bit tricky because it was multiple choice. For the listening it was a passage about a guy looking for an appartment and there were multiple choice questions. I think I got the size of the appartment wrong. I put that it was 77m2 but I think it was actually 55m2 and the street number was 77. The numbers however were right next to each other in the sentence and I would always miis the beginning of the sentence because I was processing the previous part. It also asked where the man worked but I didn’t think it said that, except that he worked in the 5th arrondisment (which is like a council area) and he wanted an appartment in the same arrondisment. The multiple choice question asked if he worked in the quartier (sort of like a block or a section of town e.g “the bronx”) or on a certain street but I’m pretty sure that street was where the appartment was. I ended up answering that he didn’t work in “the agency”, whichever agency that is! I also said the appartment was large but actually it was a small appartment with a large living room. I hope the writing was worth more than the listening!

I haven’t done the reading yet for Maniacs, Murderers and Medical Detectives. I’m not even sure which is the reading because I forgot to bring the sheet that tells me these things. The course coordinators apparently don’t dig the internet because I can’t find it on there. The tutorials for this course seem so useless, nothing that a normal brain couldn’t extract from the reading. There is also two essays to be written and one only really gets a week to write it. I’m not loving this course.
