Hello
B3 you forgot the word 'just'. The rest are OK I think.

Hello!
Dommage que le professeur n'ait pas demandé aux apprenants de faire en sorte qu'ils se trouvent vraiment dans la situation proposée en faisant changer "you" en "I" : les phrases auraient été bien plus naturelles, la dernière phrase étant la suite logique des autres qui décrivaient les situations dans lesquelles les apprenants s'étaient trouvés.
De plus, cela facilitait l'acquisition des réactions avec "just".
Mais voilà, c'est ainsi.

Bonjour,
je crois que nous ne nous sommes pas compris.
Les phrases, qui sont données (celles que j'écris d'abord), sont simplement à compléter comme l'indiquent les points et les énoncés des exercices. Elles ne doivent pas être modifiées.
Pendant le cours, nous les relisons (en l'état) en y ajoutant simplement la partie manquante.
En ce qui me concerne, il me suffit de lire ce que j'ai écrit après "My answer" puisque j'y remets la question. On pourrait dire que nous sommes à la fois celui qui pose la question et celui qui y répond. Personnellement, cela ne me gêne pas plus que ça !
A7: "out" est dans le texte "livré clé en main". Ce n'est donc pas une erreur de ma part, que je pourrais corriger si nécessaire. Mais est-ce vraiment une faute?
C section instructions: idem A7, mais le fait de mettre "at the end of" au lieu de "at the end" me semble peu important, puisque le "of" est implicite.
Cordialement.

Nous nous sommes bien compris ! Mon but était de montrer qu'on ne fait pas un exercice pour un exercice.
Pour assurer une meilleure fixation de l'acquis, il est essentiel de faire siennes la description d'une situation et la réaction face à celle-ci ! Cela permet de faire de même dans des exercices d'extension et/ou dans des contextes réels de la vie courante.
