Can I assume this can also be used for its literal translation? EX: "When are we going to all get together?" "I don't know. When we open the presents?"

First sentence

Bonjour! I have two questions related to the first sentence of this exercise. Firstly, why does the first part of the sentence translate to 'Lille is less than two hours away by train' when the original sentence to translate was 'Lille is less than a couple hours away' (i.e. no specific duration). Additionally, why do we use 'ce qui en fait' instead of 'ce que le fait'? Merci beaucoup!

Une question, finalement

Aujourd'hui j'ai appris quelque chose nouvelle et intéressante à propos de la Belgique. Il me rappelle des révolutions de la France et de la Russe. Quelle l'histoire fascinante. Pourquoi il n'y a pas de questions de compréhension? Ils me manquent.

Negative emotions

Good exercise, but it reminds me to ask, could we have more topics about the darker sides of life? I feel that because the exercises are very strongly weighted towards positive scenarios there’s a whole dimension of human experience that I’m not learning the vocabulary and phrases for. Thanks.

I also noticed that the phrases "lame vers l'assiette" and "à lame plate" also don't have an article. Are they functioning as an adjective phrase?
