Impressions of TY French class by Amy Bennett (TY)
Le Français en année de transition. J’aime le Français cette année. On a vu beaucoup de films intéressants. Le premier film était Amélie, c’était fantastique. On a fait un sondage sur les stéréotypes. Par exemple dans la classe 85% pensent que les Irlandais sont des ivrognes. Selon nous, les Français sont arrogants! On a étudié aussi la mode. Nous avons regardé des images des fringues cools et branchés. Nous avons lu des magazines au lieu d’un livre scolaire. Il y a beaucoup de choses à venir!
