La séance avec Kate ce jeudi aura lieu en salle 433.

Je voulais également prévenir les élèves du premier groupe qu'il y aura une interro de verbes irréguliers mardi prochain sur les derniers verbes de la page 239 (ça fait 15 verbes de plus que cette semaine).

Bonne soirée à tous et à jeudi.

Here is the video I want you to watch :

Dear students,

Here is a list of novels. I want you to read one of them (in English, of course!) before the end of April. You will then have to do an oral presentation of the book you have chosen, as well as a written review.

As you will see, I have tried to propose a large variety of genres, lengths and prices, so that everyone can find to their taste and/or budget. If you would like to read a book that is not in the list, please come and ask me, I might not say no!

The prices indicated are those for new copies of the books. You can of course find second-hand copies in bookshops or on the Internet. You may also find some of them at the school library.

April may seem far away from now, but be careful: the sooner you start the better. It takes time to read a book in a foreign language!
