In "I went online to find tapas recipes" shouldn't the verb for find be chercher rather than (or at least as well as) trouver?
I notice the omission of any article to go with jeux in the phrase 'l'opportunité d'essayer différents jeux'. Is this something to do with the word différents? For example, if there were no adjective, you would surely say 'l'opportunité d'essayer des jeux'...?
...the exercise gives the translation of this sentence as 'We are astonished at his good marks' ...however, I don't see how you can tell the gender of the person with the good marks from this sentence...so surely the translation should be 'We are astonished at his/her good marks' ...? Unless you can tell the person described by the verb 'étonnons' ...but then I am sure this has no connection to the person being referred to in the sentence...
Look forward to your answer...

By the way, we would never say “At the Doctor”. It’s always “At the Doctor‘s”. This is short for “At the Doctor’s surgery”, although this expanded form is rarely said. So we would say “I’m going to the Doctor’s”, “I’m at the Doctor’s”, and so on. We can, however, use “Doctor” without the possessive with the statement “I’m going to see the Doctor”. Also, it’s worth mentioning that a surgery, in this context, is more-or-less an office and not anything like an operating theatre.
