Profile
I was good at French at school but my good exam results never seemed to translate into any actual competency with the language. I am much better at reading and listening but lack confidence and practice with speaking and listening to French, which are the really useful parts. The company I work for has a large French operation and speaking French would be beneficial to my career, both in the short term and also widening my prospects in the longer term. I have read Fluent Forever and am using some of those techniques which make a lot of sense to me, especially coming from a background of studying for years at schools, getting top marks in exams and still not able to converse in the language.
I think my level is reasonable and I want to prepare to sit the DELF B2 exam. I'm looking for a teacher who can give me exercises to do outside of the lessons, and can take me through a structured program to improve my French

- Happy Eid. “Feast”Some countries celebrated yesterday and others celebrated today and the reason is the new moon. We depend on the lunar calendar so we have to see the new month’s new moon to stop the fasting.We wish each other happiness and visit relatives. My brother and sister who live in the neighboring city visited us and we enjoyed having lunch together. Our neighbors also visited us in the afternoon. I need time to get used to having three meals a day after fasting for a month.I wish everyone celebrating this time a happy blessed Eid.0 votedJune 5, 20191
- B2 pratique Je vous écris au nom de tous les employés dans votre commerce regardent votre décision à imposer à nous de venir travailler au moins deux dimanches par mois. Nous avons discuté ensemble, et nous sommes unis en pensant que c’est un mauvais décision et donc je suis désolé que je suis exprimer notre désaccord. Il y a de nombreux raisons pour quoi nous n’avons pas d’accord, ici j’expliquerai les plus forts. Pour plusiers d’entre nous, nous avons pris cet emploi parce qu’il offrait le choix à travailler le dimanche ou non. Donc on peut arranger sa vie avec tous les autres engagements sans tracasser pour le dimanche. Par example, le dimanche je dois garder mes enfants parce que ma femme travaille ce jour-là. Enre mes collègues, il y a des personnes qui ont besoin de soigner pour les parents. Moins serieusement il y a des gens qui faire du sport le dimanche. Bien que je puisse comprendre que c’est necessaire d’avoir plus des gens libre à travailler les dimanches, je ne pense pas que ce soit le meilleur voie à l’accomplir. Et puis je voudrais vous proposer une autre décision realiste Peut-être il y a des gens qui voudraient consacrer leur dimanche à travail au lieu des autres jours de la semaine? Particulièrement s’il serait une augmentation de la salaire pour recompenser. Je pense que vous devriez proposer une augmentation de dix pour cent pour le travail aux dimanches et demander des volontiers. Après avoir discuté avec mes collègues, je suis sûr qu’un offre comme cela serait accepté par beaucoup d’entre eux. Je vous remercie en avance de considerer ce proposition.June 5, 201920
Travelling around the world
Travelling around the world is something that I really enjoy ( who doesn't ? ) and sharing these experiences with people is amazing. The internet made it possible and it's even easier for us nowadays, and some a site like Italki is an perfect example. I was talking with a retired flight attendant yesterday and she was talking about all the countries that she went to and about her crazy experiences. Learning about different countries and cultures makes our minds expand and makes us more interesting people. In the same way we can talk with and teach other people about our own culture and country in a more correct and real way, without mysticism.
Can I say Who don´t ???????No, should be "who doesn't"
Also not sure what you mean in your last sentence, "mysticism" is an odd word to use there?

- I agree "turned up" suggests a lack of planning, it's more casual. So John is either always late, or maybe you weren't expecting to see John at all but he was there by chance. "Arrived" is bit more formal than "came" in spoken English due to being a much longer word to say but there's really not much difference0 votedJanuary 31, 20190
- Ma Ville J'habite dans une petite village qui s'appelle Farncombe, c'est dans le sud-est d'Angleterre, vers cinquante kilometres de Londres. Il n'y a pas des emplois dans Farncombe, mais il y a un gare avec une ligne rapide au Londres; je mets quarante-cinq minutes pour aller au Londres. Godalming est une plus grande ville et c'est très proche mais aussi la plupart des gens ne travaillent pas là. Je pense que c'est nécessaire à favouriser le developement économique dans cettes petites villages et villes, pour encourager les gens depenser dans les parages. Sinon, la ville mourira. D'ailleurs, c'est beacoup mieux pour l'environnement si il y a moins de pollution venant de les voitures quant tout le monde va à un autre ville pour travailler.January 29, 201940
Day 6 : My first internship in ethology
A year and a half ago, I did my first internship in ethology. It was a short internship (two weeks) but it allowed me to discover in for real the ethologist's job. This internship was in the marine field, on the Breton coast (Dinard), in France. The main project was applied ethology. Indeed, there has been as project to put in the Channel an offshore wind farm. So, the ethological (and ecological) issue was : What will be the impact of an offshore wind farm on migratory benthic fishes ?
Benthic fishes are fishes which swim at in the dreepness of sea, near to the sand of the sea floor. Migratory fishes are fishes which swim in long distances according to their life stages or/and the temperature of the environment. Therefore, the an offshore wind farm can prevent these migratory benthis fishes to pass. Indeed, an offshore wind farm takes a lot of space and emits waves in the deepness. Moreover, these fishes can't swim on the surface at sea. So, if these fishes are disturbed by waves, they couldn't pass the offshore wind farm.
For my internship, we tested two species of fishes which not seemed undisturbed by waves. Their behavior was normal despite of the waves. But the interaction with waves was short. What will happen if the interaction will is long ? Moreover, there are lots of species of migratory benthic fishes. So, the other species must be tested. But that must have been done.0 votedDecember 13, 20181IELTS preparation
I wouldn't say that I approve of all recently adopted laws in my country because some of them don't make any sense and don't improve the living standards of a large proportion of the population. But I'm going to talk about the smoke-free law passed five years ago that I find quite beneficial, especially for the protection of non-smokers from involuntary exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke.
This regulation brought a smoking ban into force in enclosed public places such as public transport stops, office buildings, shopping malls, schools and cinemas across the country.
I came to know about this law from the Internet and the mass media publications. Also there had been a lot of discussion about new smoking legislation due to that fact that all bars and restaurants had to remove existing smoking areas on site and prevent smoking.
Honestly the most people didn’t start following the new regulation immediately. In practice, it was troublesome to prohibit smoking in public areas like bus stoppages. It took a long time and numerous fines were needed to stop people smoking in public places.
This law protects non-smokers, including children and pregnant women, and smokers too because passive smoking is harmful for all. I truly hope this law leads to reduced smoking and helps people to combat this unhealthy habit.0 votedOctober 8, 20181
