Bonjour tout le monde !
Welcome to our Daily Dose of Positivity!
Today, let's talk about confinement makeovers :)
- Let's start with a fun French expression:
- se faire relooker / faire un relooking
(to get a makeover)
Je vais me faire relooker ce weekend : j'ai trop hâte ! I'm going to get a makeover this weekend: I can't wait!
- Even Barbie has gotten a lockdown makeover! Discover Tonya Ruiz's hilarious creations in the following French article:
And as a bonus, a sentence from this article linked to our related French lessons:
Ainsi, la «maman qui fait l'école à la maison» est entourée de livres d'écoles, de beurre de cacahuètes et de quatre enfants... dont l'un littéralement accroché à sa jambe.
Thus, the «homeschool mom» is surrounded by school books, peanut butter and four children... one of whom (is) literally clinging to her leg.
Learning Tip
Puzzled by how the Kwiziq French scoring system works? Wonder why you sometimes get a negative score? Kwizbot measures your level of confidence instead of giving you an actual score for the test.
Pro Tips:
- Negative scores subtract from positive ones so skip a question rather than guess and get it wrong.
- Make sure you understand how the algorithm works.
- Remember the system recognises how much help you’ve had so you’ll get a higher score for the harder (freeform) questions than for a multiple choice option.
