Listening Skills 1

You are staying with your French pen-friend, Jean-Luc, in Marseille.
Tu restes chez ton corréspondant, Jean-Luc, à Marseille.

Yes, it's always the same scenario and it's tedious, but no matter what the name of your pen-pal is, the same topics come up time and again...family relationships, pocket money, part-time jobs, school, future work, my town, town vs countryside, holidays, freetime activities, environment etc etc...funnily enough the very topics you've been studying throughout S3 and S4. Go through vocabulary lists - the nice ordered lists at the back of your carnets, write down the words you're not sure of and work on them until you know them. You can buy index cards from any stationery shop - write the French on one side and the English on the other, or even better, get the little keyring cards, that way you can practice your vocabulary while sitting on the bus.
