Lesson 3 · 45 min

Write the report in French

Objective

Turn your notes into a clear report in French.

The lesson

Your report follows your notes: the type of document (a radio report, an interview), the main topic, the key facts (numbers, people, places) and the purpose or point of view. Write full sentences in French, about 8 to 12 lines.

Worked example

Il s'agit d'un reportage radio sur l'usage du téléphone par les jeunes au Royaume-Uni. Selon un rapport, les jeunes passent en moyenne quatre heures par jour sur leur téléphone. Les médecins s'inquiètent pour le sommeil : un adolescent sur trois se couche après minuit. Cependant, le téléphone sert aussi à apprendre, à travailler et à garder le contact avec la famille. Le rapport conseille une heure sans téléphone avant de dormir.

The model report gives the type, the topic, the numbers, the contrast word (« Cependant ») and the advice.
