Hello bernard02,
Well done!
I can't see any obvious mistakes.

Hello.
I see a mistake on question 8, section A.
Also, in section C question 2...
Can you give me any advice? has the sense that you have some doubts about the teacher's ability to do so. On the other hand, Can you give me some advice? indicates that you have no doubt that the teacher is able to advise you, and just want to know if he or she is willing to do so.

Hello Sherry,
« I see a mistake on question 8, section A.
Also, in section C question 2...
Can you give me any advice? has the sense that you have some doubts about the teacher's ability to do so. On the other hand, Can you give me some advice? indicates that you have no doubt that the teacher is able to advise you, and just want to know if he or she is willing to do so. »
Then, is the whole exercise correct if I write "We had very good weather while we were on holiday." instead of "We had a very good weather while we were on holiday." (section A, question 8) and "Can you give me some advice ?" instead of "Can you give me any advice?" (section C, question 2) ?

Bonjour,
je me demande si les bugs actuels liés au projet de changement du serveur ne perturbent pas aussi les réponses sur les forums. En effet, je suis quasiment persuadé que j'avais reçu et aperçu une réponse après mon message posté le 11-11-2012 à 00:45:58.
Or, je ne vois plus rien maintenant après mon dernier message.
Pouvez-vous me rassurer, s'il vous plaît, en me disant si mes phrases vous semblent correctes d'une part, et si vous, de votre côté, vous voyez une autre réponse après mon message du 11/11 à 0h45 ?
Cordialement.

Bonjour Bernard,
Je peux vous assurer que c'est le cas! il y a des dysfonctionnements dûs au changement de serveur, d'après les modérateurs, ça m'est arrivé aussi sur le forum espagnol.
Ici et maintenant, je vois le commentaire de sherry48, et le vôtre d'avant quelques minutes!

Bonjour,
Le site a connu des difficultés suite à la tentative de changement de serveur. Tous les problèmes sont en train de se résoudre.
Merci de vous montrer patients.

Bonsoir,
il a fallu que je renvoie un message pour pouvoir voir et lire la réponse de sherry !
En revanche, je ne peux ni voir ni lire la réponse de gerondif qui m'a été notifiée par mail.
Mais c'est moins urgent puisque j'avais besoin de ces réponses pour ce soir.
Cordialement.
