CONSEILS POUR RÉDIGER UNE SYNTHESE DE DOCUMENTS

PROPOSITIONS DE SYNTHESES:

Il est difficile de trouver sur Internet des ‘exemples concrets de synthèses rédigées, c’est pourquoi j’en propose quelques-uns, qui sont loin d’être parfaits, mais donnent une idée de ce que l’on attend d’un candidat.

My Husband Drives A Lemon

A couple of months ago I threw a book into the dustbin. I have never thrown a book away before, but then again I have never disliked a book enough to warrant doing so. What was the book, you might ask? Humiliating an author is not very ‘bon esprit’ but some may recognise the book  nevertheless.

Every so often I pick up a book written by an author who has started a new life abroad. Most are amusing or heart-rending or downright outrageous tales of  courage or mishap in the face of adversity. The particular tale that ended in the waste-paper basket was one in which a woman had simply given up her life abroad. Of course many have given up on a life inundated with drama and catastrophe, and there is nothing wrong with that; but the author of the book in question had given up on their dream…

Debrief on the DALF C1

Insightful post on the experience of preparing for and taking the DALF C1

As promised IRL to a few people, I wanted to write a debrief on the DALF C1 which I took last month.  My advice can be summed up in one phrase: Just showing up is 80% of the battle.

The test is in four parts:

Making Time for Language Study

The challenge of making space in your life for language learning

Eurolinguiste

The following post is my own version of Jarvis1000’s post on making time for language learning. I was really inspired by his post so I wanted to share it with my own experience and how I work language study into my day to day life.

I don’t tell a whole lot of people this, but I have both a full time job (people don’t know this part) and a full time music career (most people know this part) and so the time I can spend studying language is sometimes limited. For me, practice often takes priority. And besides that, at the end of a full nine hour work day, one of the last things I want to do is study or keep working (or practicing 😦 ), so finding time to dedicate to language learning isn’t always easy. Learning another language has to be something you really want to…
