Good afternoon Girls.

Apologise for not being here, a doctor's appointement prevents me to be here today.

After correcting your prelims, I thought a lesson based on grammar would be quite useful.

Follow the links, read the lesson and do the tests / quizz. Please do not guess the answers, try to have a reason behind all your choice.

Advanced Higher!! Essay Titles on Women and society

Good morning Girls

Here is a selection of essay title that appeared in the last couple of years. They all deal with women in society.

"Il y a une trentaine d'année, beaucoup de gens pensaient que la libération de ka femme etait souhaitable et inévitable. D'autres coroyaient qu'un féminisme radical aboutirait à la destruction du couple, base essentielle de notre société. Est ce qu'ils avaient raison? Quel est votre point de vue aujourd'hui?"

"Le féminisme n'a reussi qu'a créer la version féminime d'un homme plutot désagréable" Que pensez vous de cette opinion de trente ans de féminisme? Est-il temps de trouver d'autres moyens pour ameliorer encore la condition des femmes ou est ce qu'on a tout fait?"

"La meilleur facon de juger une société est de regarder de près comment elle traite ses enfants, ses pauvres, ses vieux et ses exclus" Est ce que vous etes d'accord ou non? Quel jugement porteriez vous sur notre société d'aujourd'hui et pourquoi?"

Choose one essay and write up to 200 words on it.
