For 'Elle va avoir soixante ans demain', can we also say 'Elle aura soixante ans demain'? Merci!

Why is ‘en avance’ preferred over ‘à l’avance’ in the sentence ‘Heureusement qu'on n'avait pas acheté les places en avance !´ I am thinking of the exercise about the catacombs visit where ´Cédric had even called them beforehand´ is translated ´Cédric les a même appelés à l’avance - which is surely the same idea?

It is really hard to hear exactly these words, spelling...=((

It seems that the examples are in bad taste. Do French people talk about people so subjectively?

The only time polite people talk about appearances is when they are describing a person wanted by police for a crime.

The question was: "Are we waiting for Laura? No, we're not waiting for her any longer.

I put:  Nous attendons Laura? Non, nous ne l'attendons plus.

This was marked incorrect. Please explain why the pronoun "la" can't be used here, in abbreviated form with an apostrophe. 

The lesson that accompanies the question does not deal with pronouns. 

I can't see why my answer is wrong.

Please advise.

Same query regarding the subjunctive but different sentence:

C'est le seul footballeur qui ait réussi à me faire pleurer....

Hi there, just wondering why we don't need to accord the 'grande forme' as 'grandes formes' with the attackers (plural)

 "et nos attaquants ne sont pas en grande forme."

Thanks!

Mon père donne des cours à l'université. __________ prof de sciences.
I thought that il est and elle est are used for unmodified identification of profession, but in the previous sentence prof is modified with de sciences, so does il est work here. Also if we use c'est we would have to add un before prof, but in the exercise it says use c'est or il est\elle est ...etc. So I am confused.

I had a more difficult time than usual understanding some of the French in this particular exercise.  There were certain phrases or words that seemed to have a different rhythm or pronunciation to them.   Conversations between two French people are one of the most difficult things for me to understand so that may explain my problems!  However, I was curious to know if the men spoke with a regional French accent?  Thanks
