Is it correct to say —la vue depuis mon balcon (the view from my balcony) 

I just did a quiz and got an answer wrong. I answered d' in front of eau but the correct answer was de l'.

If that is the case, why do the French say carafe d'eau and not carafe de l'eau?

Hi, I have just taken the French proficiency exam and this was a question I answered incorrectly,  but I am confused as the answer seems to be opposite of the original sentence:

Je crains qu’il tombe malade. » Quelle phrase a le même sens et grammaticalement correct ?

Correct answer: Je crains qu’il ne tombe malade
Your answer: Je crains qu’il est malade.  I don't understand the error and I don't understand the use of 'ne' but not 'pas.'  Can anyone help?

 If "Vous faites tous vos devoirs?" ranslates as "Are you all doing your homework?" Then, how does one say "Are you doing all of your homework?" in French?

I result I got was 'je ne sais pas dans quelle direction tourner'.  However, the Kwizig translation is 'je ne sais plus où donner de la tête' in the excercise!  I'm confused?  Bobbie L

Hello, I am a hard of hearing person and I am struggling with the speed of the dictées.  I realise we need to hear the texts at a normal speed but is there any way to slow them down for me to hear them more clearly & then progress to normal speed?  This would make a BIG difference for me.  Many thanks.
