Dating?

Our French text talks about le couple in France. The article suggests that dating is not at all the same in France as we know it in America. In the U.S., adolescents start pairing off and going to the movies, restaurants, bowling, etc. around 16 years of age, whereas French ados tend to go out in a group, even though they may have a girlfriend or boyfriend in that group. We also read that there is a lot of sparring that goes on between a guy and a girl in a French couple and adds interest to the relationship. Hmm... So here are some more questions for you.

Deux questions pour les jeunes Français

1) Est-ce que vous aimez beaucoup le pain?

2) Est-ce que vous sortez avec vos petits-amis dans un groupe?

Attention: Les élèves des stages intensifs d'anglais...

Merci d'écrire vos réponses aux questions de Jill et Bryant en français. Voir "Nous avons des questions."

On posera encore des questions et donnera encore des réponses demain pendant le stage.

Thanks! See you tomorrow!
