Finishing or Beginning? my exem of TCF

I am very tied when i finised the exemination of TCF( a test of level of french language for foreign students like TOELF) some miniutes before. I founde it quite stanger of french logique. If we wrote the same things in English, i am sur that will be more esay for us to understand than in french. My impression for this exam is that quite hard to finish all the questions except the people who speak french as a mother tongue. I couldn't hold asking myself if i can success to answer all the questions even though they were expressed in chinese.

After study french about 15 months in France, i found it the most importent things is to familier with the logique of french peope: what they are thinking, what they are loving, what they are looking etc. I havt to get the habitude of speaking and thinking in the french logique. Otherwise another failure would waiting for me in the coming years.

I think that I have to take some measure to improve my understanding in french. Firsty, for example, i should begin to read various magazines in different feilds like economy, arts, films, politics and sciences. You konw, the exam frequently choise articles with the different subjets. My favriate are news and politics. I should be led by the exam not merely by the interest.

Secondly, i should begin to write the article more complicated, such as the reach in the feild of monderlisation or other problems more professional. Now, i just write what i want to write. For the exam, it will be less helpful.

Thirldly, i think i have to make a plan for this summer holiday and it means that i have to force myself to deeply comprehend those french articles and riciter more vocabularies.

I am back

It has been a long time that i haven't speak English even though a lot of my classmates who speak English as their mather langue. In the university of Catholique, all of us speak the french like the direcet of language centre Mr. Moulin at the first day of this semester, ''from now on, in the building of CIDEF, the French is the only langues that you have the authority to speake. on the country.'' Mr. Mulin is really fond of speaking English himself, in the classe or after the classe, i frequently see him talking with american students. In fact, he taught the course of translation between English and France for us and he is very pround of his pronciation when he speak English.
Tomorrow morning,Briand, my friend from America will come to Paris and he had sent me a message by mobile telephone yesterday evening and he asked me if i had some ideas for him to visiter in Paris. Franly speaking, i am really enjoy my life in Paris and followed the trace of Ernest Hamingway, i visited a lot of historical sites here.
In the eyes of fornigers, i think it's easy for us founing out the commen topics, such as crtitique some behavier of French people, the difficulitis of French lagurage, and the food delicieus in France. I send him a mail to make a appointment in front of Panthéon, the heart of France. All the afternoon, i sit in the libery just beside the Panthéon. Through the big, high windows of the liberty of , i can see the summit of the Panthéron.
I have to admit that the French is quite difficulty for me even though study the French in France for 15 monthes. Now, i am doing some exercise for the coming eame of TCF( Test de Connaissance du Français), i barely lost my confident in reading French and i found that its really a mission impossible for me to finish reading some 60 articles in 30 minutes and sucess to make the reponds correct. What is the most importent is some of those articles came from Le monde, Figaro, Télérama, Science& Vie, etc. My god, do i have any other choise? If ont, i have to come bach to continuer to try my best to understand the French.
