    I do believe--as was told by my teacher, that this year will be easy as its the last of the old cirriculum being tested...but then again that can mean it will be hard.
    So either Very Hard or Very Easiy(I doubt it will be average :o )

    Haha, you know for the first time ever I wrote a letter more than 6-7 lines long...IT WAS 21 LINES LONG :eek: ....I got verbs all mixed up in the note though:
    There is party at my house on saturday
    will i see you and friend there
    i will speak to you on saturday?
    As you can see I never actually said would you like to come :p

    I kept repeating myself in the letter! "I am well, and you?"

    My note consisted mostly of different versions of "I hope you can come", and "I'd like if you came" which was a stupid verb thing that I shouldn't have done because I know neither of those tenses particularly well.

    Haha! My note said something like, "I am writing this note to you, Pierre, to tell you that I am celebrating a party next Saturday. I hope you will come. I will invite (male) friends at school. It will be fun! It is my birthday! I will be 15! It ended at 11:00."
    So apparently I can time-travel now and see when my party ended. :p

    I was a little upset over the comprehensions and listening. :(

    Ah well. My note was like this,

    Claude, I am going to have a party at my house on saturday for my birthday. You would like to come? I invited friends at school. I look forward to it. It finished at 11pm. Okay? Goodbye for now.

    Mine was something like

    Pascal, I'm organising a party at my house on Saturday for my birthday. Can you come? I'm inviting lots of school friends too. There will be music, food & we will dance! The party will be over at eleven o'clock. I hope you will come.

    I love the way everything sounds so dorky when you translate it from French XD I can't believe they actually talk like the people in the textbooks do.

    Is it recommeded to have something between 125-150 words ? , how can you stay on topic for that long unless you're fluent in French ? :confused:

    'I will invite (male) friends at school.' , why didn't you just say friends......what kind of party is this :D .

    I know! I used ami, which is male, while amie is female, right? I signed my letter as a boy too, so it's certainly an all-male party. :D

    I think without the e can mean a mixed group of people too. XD

    Yeah, I thought so - if you make it plural (amis) but I think I wrote just the one. So it'll be me, my friend from school and the French guy. Huge party ...
