C’est la rentrée. It’s the beginning of the school year. Salif and Véronique are discussing their daily schedules. Listen closely to their conversation and then complete the activities below.

For example:

boy and girl walking with school books

Can you put Salif and Veronique’s conversation in the proper order? Remember the conversation starts with Salif asking what classes Véronique has this year?

Salif: Salut, Véro! Quels cours as-tu cette année?

Véronique: J’ai les cours d’anglais, de français, d’algèbre, et de l’art. Et toi?

Salif: J’ai les cours de francais, d’espagnol, et d’algèbre.

Véronique: Et à quelle heure est ton cours de français?

Salif: Mon cours de francais est à neuf heures quinze.

Véronique: Quelle chance! Mon cours de français est à neuf heures quinze aussi! (also)

Salif: Qui est le professeur?

Véronique: Professeur Tremblay.

Salif: J’ai le cours avec Professeur Depardieu.

Véronique: Salif, ton cours de français est à neuf heures et quart, mais c’est un autre cours de français. C’est dommage! (It’s too bad!)

Drag and drop the items into the correct order from top (first) to bottom (last).
