I'm not too good grammar wise :s-smilie: but I'll try and help with content :smile:
For the second paragraph you could include where peterborough is in the uk- other than near cambridge- but that's about it :smile:
for the first one, you could talk more about the general decor of your house, is it a modern styled house? what colour is the outside? is all the furniture from ikea? little things just to add- but if the other paras are well sized it should be alright XP

Yeah my grammar sucks :mad: I hate how reading and listening for my board is 40% and the rest is 60% because I get can somehow get full marks on reading and listening and not too good on the others :/

Permit me to interject, but would "je l'aime" not be correct? "Je t'aime" means "I like/love you", so I would infer that "je l'aime" means "I like it" ("Je le + aime" = "Je l'aime"). I don't do French so there may be some idiomatic discrepancy, but seems correct to me :holmes: :biggrin:

It's the same in other Romance languages:

Io ti dice = I tell you
Ti gusto? = I am pleasing to you? :sexface:

I meant in the case that for some reason you can't do it int school... but if you definitely can, shouldn't be much of a problem then? Plus as I said some time back, you can still get a 100% scholarship without 13 A*s...

Italian is super easy :ahee: I'm focusing on German and Italian right now purely for the prospect of A Levels and next years trip :biggrin: I really do want to move on with Korean/Russian/Japanese, but it's hard to find good learning sources for Asian languages :tongue: I might focus on Japanese over Korean, purely because Korean is a bitch to speak :lol:

OOH the last sentence- c'est important pour moi je trouve...-is that correct? do you not need a word between moi and je trouve? like parce que? NO I'M WRONG... something about that sentence seems weird? oh well :/
'in my opinion it's important for me I find my house very comfortable, I like it'? is that a right translation? ARGH

Darn, yeah seems dodgy. I need the word that in between, I'll work on that :colondollar:
^ what do you want to say in English?

Ah, but I don't think that works the same in French as in English :holmes: Like in German, to refer to a masculine object in the accusative with a pronoun (den Mann, den Apfel), one would use the accusative word for "he" (ihn) :yes: Ergo, "ich mag ihn". It's the same in Italian I believe, and Spanish. Perhaps French is different, but as far as I am aware "ca" is the nominative (like "je" or "tu"), whereas "le/la" is the accusative (direct object), like "te" or "me".

DISCLAIMER: I have no ****ing idea :tongue: Je ne parle pas francais :lol:
