Q5.A school day
message électronique
Salut ! Quelle journée ! Pour commencer je suis arrivée en retard au collège parce que Maman a oublié de me réveiller. Je n’ai même pas eu le temps de prendre le petit déjeuner. Pendant le cours d’histoire le prof a critiqué le travail que j’avais fait pour mon projet sur Jeanne d’Arc, et pourtant j’y avais passé de longues heures chez moi. A la récré j’ai enfin pu bavarder avec mes copines mais après, c’était anglais, et je n’aime pas ça. Je trouve les langues vivantes très difficiles. L’après-midi on a eu musique. C’était super ! J’apprends à jouer de la guitare et je veux faire assez de progrès pour pouvoir participer au spectacle de fin d’année. Malheureusement je ne peux pas continuer avec ça ce soir car j’ai au moins trois heures de devoirs à faire. Marine
Example: What problem does Marine refer to first?
...She arrived late at school................................................
(a) Why did she oversleep and not have time for her breakfast?
........................................................................................................................ (1)
(b) Why was she annoyed about her teacher’s comments about her work?
........................................................................................................................ (1)
(c) Why does she dislike English?
........................................................................................................................ (1)
(d) Why is she keen to learn to play the guitar?
........................................................................................................................
