Translation of listening exercises

Are there translations (French into English) available for the listening/dictation exercises? Where would I find them? I use this to test/practice my listen comprehension as well.

la bien meilleure offre and la offre bien meilleure

Can you explain why you can put bien meilleure after the noun? I know that meilleur always goes before the noun, but I did'nt realise that it could go after the noun when used with bien. Why is that?

Antibiotic abuse

I agree with James. Please modify or remove this lesson. Antibiotic abuse is a major public health problem. It is important not to encourage their inappropriate use.

Placement Of 'Tous Les Deux' or 'Tous Les + un numéro moins de 3'

I was wondering where we are supposed to place these constructions within sentences and clauses. Some translations show after the entire clause or sentence, some show after the verb.

- Nous les avons tous les deux vu(e)s

- Nous les avons vu(e)s tous les deux

- Lui et son frère sont venus tous les deux

A general lesson about saying 'both' to describe people and objects should be made.
