Test scoresI've been trying to reach a "confidence" level of 90% at C1 level. I got to 89.9%, took 2 further C1 tests and got 100% on each, but my level slipped back to 89.6%. How's that?

"They're expecting him to arrive at any minute now" Perhaps a third way to say this is to use the longer form with the subjunctive : "Ils s'attendent à ce qu'il arrive d'une minute à l'autre." Is this ok? Does it convey more or less of the anxiety conveyed by the example using "Ils s'attendent à son arrivé...?" Thanks.

Question from the Writing Challenge that references "en"This lesson is referenced in the Week 1, B1 writing challenge but it does not contain information on the use of "en" in the part where the speaker says he will see places in Paris "that I've only seen in photos." The answer uses "que je n'ai vues qu'en photos." Why is en needed there? Thanks.
