2a) So their son an escape the pollution
Her husband spent his childhood in the countryside and liked the outdoors

Some of the actual English is a bit dodgy...

I agree with all this, except I didn't get 1c. Also, I said change of air, not sure how accurate that is, do you think it would be accepted?

Thanks

Hmm not sure you might do, I only got it because it said in the phrases bit under 'air' in ma dictionary, but if you didn't it's only one mark!

I think it's because it said "elle les voit", she sees them.

Anyone remember listening answers? See for the question about what she did when she stayed home. Did you say she chatted to her grandpa?

Yeah, I hate listening started off with 11 too and have slowly improved! That's good, all the best!

What did you get for the differences between people?
