review-answers-2003-final SUMMER

It’s highly recommended that you look at this so you know what to expect.

For Thursday: check out the review and prepare for your oral exam (see the email I sent for  your appointment time).

If you need a study break, watch this video – this little French girl is telling a story and it’s really cute and funny. I usually would show it in class, but with our podium broken that didn’t happen.

Préparer: p. 149-150, oral exams (if you are on Wednesday)

QUIZ: structure II and III, vocab p. 156 right column

In this list of the 30 most spoken languages in the world, French is actually 10th.  In this one, it’s 12th. In this one, it’s 18th. Considering that these rankings are by number of people who speak a language only and not so much about the number of different countries in which a language is spoken (for example, Mandarin is #1 but largely due to China having such a large population, and sometimes different dialects are listed separately and sometimes not), French is still rather important. Think about the number of countries in which it’s spoken, whether as a primary language, as a secondary or governmental language, or as a regional language (think Louisiana in the US). Look at the maps in the front of your book – the influence is pretty widespread.

***************************
The composition due date has been moved to Wednesday June 17. I still strongly encourage you to get it done this weekend so you can have the next two days to revise and edit it. I will be in my office from 9:45-10:40 both Monday and Tuesday, and if you need to meet with me after class those days I can probably do that too (just let me know). I’ll be happy to look over what you have and offer any advice I can about it (but I’m not going to write it for you).

The assignment sheet for the composition is available in the links to the left.

Remember: we’re not having class on Friday. Other than preparing the assigned pages for Monday’s class, your only assignment over the weekend is to work on the composition.

Préparer: p. 93-94 (read the passage, see if you can answer the questions before we even have class), REVIEW! (test Thursday)
