Le jeune homme a été récompensé pour avoir sauvé  l'enfant de la noyade. The young man has been rewarded for saving the child from drowning. Could that be ' pour avoir noyé ‘? Le noyade is, I assume, 'the drowning?'

Could "de" be used here instead of "en" ?  Any thoughts?

Missing: "Ce qui me plait plus que tout, c'est l'ambiance détendue,"

I practice pronunciation by reading these texts aloud and checking my pronunciation against the recording - that's why I noticed.

Hello, how do you know which translation to English to use? Thank you

In "J'aurais pu changer ..."  I kept hearing and "l" in "pu."  Did anybody else hear this, too?

Not sure if question was clearly expressed!

For this statement: "Est-ce ta trousse? - Oui, c'est la mienne."

Why are we using "c'est" if it is about a specific item (the pencil case). In the previous lesson, if we know exactly what we're talking about we should use il/elle. 

Thanks
