Synopsis

'Facettes de la France Contemporaine: Lecture et Mise en Pratique LIVRE 2' is a second book in this French series, and contains 8 new topics.
This FULLY PHOTOCOPIABLE book complements Advanced level French course books by providing practice in reading and understanding longer texts at AS/A2/IB Diploma level. It is specifically geared to the new-style examination questions, and encourages an analytical method of study. It is an excellent source of material for AO4 (knowledge of society). Students develop the vocabulary needed to understand and talk about important issues in modern French society.
The eight photocopiable self-study units are based on authentic texts dealing with the following topics:
La publicité et les jeunes
L'obésité en France
Les changements apportés par les nouvelles technologies
L'éergie et le terrorisme
Les dangers de l'Internet
L'importance du look pour les jeunes
L'estime de soi
Les risques pris par les jeunes

Lively, interesting and carefully graded, the exercises begin with identification of key words and comprehension questions in French and English, followed by detailed and precisely focused practice with the new vocabulary and phrases. Units conclude with an essay which gives students the chance to put together the ideas, vocabulary and structures that they have learned.
Extensive Corrigés et Explications sections give correct answers to and commentaries on the exercises, in addition to model essays. Grammar and shades of meaning are explained simply but thoroughly, so that students can develop their language skills rapidly without the need to work closely with a teacher.
'Facettes de la France Contemporaine LIVRE 2' is a companion volume to the highly praised 'Facettes de la France Contemporaine (LIVRE 1)','Aspectos del mundo hispano' and 'Aspekte deutscher Gegenwart'.
