    Exam on Monday...Argumentation task Hi italki community :)

    Tomorrow I have to learn like all day for an important french exam on monday. One of our tasks will be writing an argumentation about a given topic. The topic will either be schooluniforms, pets, strict separation of state and religion or sports in school. Now having a clear opinion on these topics or knowing pros and cons is no problem. But it would really help me if you could list pros and cons like in note form in french. And please also list pros that can easily be proven wrong.

    I can help you with that. "Puh" is no real word, but just something like an interjection used wenn something is uncool in any way. An english equivalent would probably be "argh" or something like that. Literally translated "trocken" means "dry", but in german it is also used for things that are normally considered barren, wordy and yeah boring. You can use that expression to describe Jura studies or books like "War and Piece" by Tolstoi. So the full sentence means "Argh, that sounds damn boring!".
