Hello Komiks,
hello maxwell ! Thank you very much for being so fast ! Always first ... and of course, the first ones to be read ...
Hello komiks ! Did you resume High School in a cool and satisfactory way ?
I hope you like your new form and are ready to work like mad ! ...Hey, guys, both of you have given me very good 'link words'. But, I'd like a relative in 3, please ... (Hard to please, aren't I ?
) and, please, maxwell ... can you do like Komics and colour many/much /few etc? Then, the words stand out easily, and it saves me a lot of time and headaches ! 
Very good work for both already ...

Hello here4u,
Thanks a lot for your pleasant remarks.
I added a second proposal for sentence 3 because you said you wanted us to build a relative. Is that correct ?
As to my school-resuming ("rentrée" is such an annoying word to translate in English, because there's no equivalent ! We have to use periphrasis
), everything went well; but my timetable is so bad !! I work from Monday morning to Saturday at 12 o'clock and I finish school at 6 o'clock almost everyday.. 
Thanks again,
See you very soon

Hello all of you !
After another (mid-time) review, a few remarks !
Still plenty of time for changes ... - Je sais que je suis pénible,
mais à mes yeux et oreilles : 'and, but, if et so' ne sont pas des 'mots de Liaison' dignes de ce nom ...(sauf en 6è!)- Attention à la construction des relatifs ... souvent un peu 'fantaisiste'...
-
malgré mon insistance,(mais je suis têtue, je ne cèderai pas! ,) on dirait que vous ne voulez pas employer (correctement ) 'les progressions parallèles' (plus ... plus - plus ... moins - moins ... moins ) GRRRrrrr !
- Lorsqu'il s'agit de thème grammatical, collez plus au texte !
Les mots n'ont pas été choisis au hasard ! A part ça,(
) c'est super bon ! (c'est pourquoi je me laisse aller à être exigeante !, sinon ...)Allez, courage ! et merci de me consacrer tant de temps et d'énergie !

4) Mrs Brown had three cats, one of which Mr Keagan loved.
Out of the three cats Mrs Brown had,Mr Keagan loved one.
Although Mrs Brown had three cats, Mr Keagan only loved one of them, so the other two mysteriously ended up in a Scottish brew.(I cooked this one up)
5)Fill in the blanks with :many/much/few/a few/less/little :
Very well done !You’ve made much progress these last few months ! Your friends didn’t and there’s not much time left for them before the exams ! I hope you realise that very few employers are prepared to take unqualified school-leavers. Unless they work much harder in the following weeks, they won’t get many /any A-levels and, believe me, the fewer A-levels you get, the less chance you have of getting a decent job ! (/8)

6)Ce n’est pas la peine de te dépêcher. Il va te rester une heure à attendre sans rien avoir à faire !

He can't hear the difference between a C and an E./ He can't tell a C from an E. He's making my ears bleed ./He's giving me an earful !

Hello Here4u,
It's not obvious !
1. He's still convalescent therefore he needs a lot of rest and help.
2. We'll hold the meeting upstairs because the room is large enough otherwise we'll stay downstairs.
3. There are good wines in Burgundy even if their prices are very high.
4. Mrs Brown had three cats among them Mr Keagan loved one of them.
5. Very well done !You’ve made much progress these last few months ! Your friends didn’t and there’s not much time left for them before the exams ! I hope you realise that very few employers are prepared to take unqualified school-leavers. Unless they work much harder in the following weeks, they won’t get many A-levels and, believe me, the less A-levels you get, the little chance you have of getting a decent job.
6. It's not necessary that you hurry up. There will be one hour left to wait with nothing to do.
7. You should have gone shopping earlier ! The supermarket is going to close and you 'll have nothing to eat tonight.
