This is more a comment than a question. I found this to be a difficult exercise. For one thing, the vocabulary is not taught in a typical French class. Words like laptop, headline, online etc are useful to know but not common. Also, there were so many ways to say the same thing. Sometimes the answers included alternate responses, sometimes not. I was taught (and use) "les nouvelles" for the news. I have never seen "les infos" before this exercise.
why not use "exiger" for require, demand. ça demand = ça exige ?
chance, tort and raison are all nouns, and we use "de la chance" but it is not the case for tort and raison.
This isn't the first time in a dictation where a word appears in the text, but isn't in the spoken section. In this specific case, "que" is absent in the spoken portion of the phrase "on s'est vus jeudi avant que vous ne partiez." It (que) is used 8 times in this exercise, and clearly articulated 7 times, (minus the portion mentioned). Is this an error? Or a natural omission for advanced french speaker? Perhaps something to add in another lesson?
Lesson was: cette chanteuse a un ... kind of talent. How does certain translate to a kind of. Thanks.
Un jeune homme extrêmement doué or un homme jeune et extrêmement doué?
Very interesting, but is it truly A2? The second to last paragraph has lots of passe simple in it (prit, fit, eut), which doesn't appear until B2 level.
The question I'm looking at says "Tu ne veux pas savoir ________ je pense de ton costume" and the correct answer indicated is "ce que." However, because it's "... _______ je pense DE" shouldn't it be "ce dont?"
Similar examples would be:
"Tu sais ce dont je suis capable."
"C'est ce dont j'ai peur."
"Je ne sais pas à quoi tu penses." (This is 'penser à' instead of 'penser de')
What am I missing here?
