pas fiables - L&#8217;&#233;dition du soir - Ouest-France&nbsp;</a></strong></p><blockquote><p>La premi&#232;re descente en luge. La naissance d&#8217;un fr&#232;re ou d&#8217;une s&#339;ur. Une violente dispute dans le bac &#224; sable. Les cadeaux sous le sapin de No&#235;l. Un pique-nique en &#233;t&#233; sur une nappe &#224; carreaux&#8230; Si un b&#233;b&#233; peut enregistrer des visages ou des sons, ce n&#8217;est qu&#8217;&#224; partir de 2-3 ans que le cerveau humain commence &#224; enregistrer des souvenirs autobiographiques. Avant 2 ans, c&#8217;est-&#224;-dire avant le d&#233;veloppement du langage, tr&#232;s peu de souvenirs peuvent &#234;tre retenus avec un contexte d&#8217;espace et de temps.</p><p>&#171; Nous pouvons encoder les informations, mais les souvenirs avant l&#8217;&#226;ge de 3 ans ne durent pas, explique Chris Moulin, chercheur au laboratoire de psychologie et neurocognition de l&#8217;universit&#233; de Grenoble. Ce n&#8217;est pas comme les souvenirs que nous formons en tant qu&#8217;adultes, ce sont des images, des fragments sans contexte. &#187; .. &#171; chaque fois que nous nous souvenons d&#8217;un &#233;v&#233;nement, nous le reconstruisons dans notre esprit. En tant que tel, la plupart de nos souvenirs contiennent au moins quelques d&#233;tails qui sont faux. C&#8217;est un effet secondaire d&#8217;un syst&#232;me de m&#233;moire sain au travail &#187;</p><p>Une &#233;tude de plusieurs universit&#233;s britanniques r&#233;alis&#233;e l&#8217;an dernier a interrog&#233; 6 641 personnes sur leurs souvenirs d&#8217;enfance. Surprise : 37 % de ces souvenirs avaient eu lieu avant l&#8217;&#226;ge de 2 ans, dont 13 % avant l&#8217;&#226;ge d&#8217;un an. Un des souvenirs r&#233;currents est celui d&#8217;&#234;tre assis ou allong&#233; dans une poussette.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p><strong>Question 14</strong>: Selon le texte, &#224; partir de quel &#226;ge le cerveau humain commence-t-il &#224; enregistrer des souvenirs autobiographiques ?</p>

This was <strong>the most requested new feature</strong> by paid subscribers, and I&#8217;m excited to get it into your hands (or inboxes)!</p><p>It&#8217;s best to see this edition as a bit of a trial. <em>French with Am&#233;lie</em> has always been a collaboration between me and my readers, and this is no different!</p><p>I&#8217;ve learned trial and error is the only way to truly find out the perfect formula for new features: format, difficulty, content etc. You&#8217;ll find a super quick reader survey after the test - completing it will help me adjust and improve for April!</p><div><hr></div><h4>This newsletter is a shame and guilt-free learning zone &#9888;&#65039;</h4><p>Let&#8217;s face it, there is just too much damn <em><strong>shame</strong></em> around testing! And it&#8217;s made me nervous about even giving my students a formal level-test in this way. </p><p>Learning French is a journey, and your French &#8216;level&#8217; is a big wibbly-wobbly fluid unstable thing that can NEVER be summed up in one word, number, or letter.</p><p>&#8216;Testing&#8217; in school and college was often filled with shame and inferiority, competition and ranking and pride. We can leave all that behind as adults (many of us don&#8217;t!) but it tends to come up again as soon as we start testing our language skills. EVERYONE I know is insecure about their language level, and I am determined not to feed the beast! &#128548; </p><div><hr></div><h4>Take what&#8217;s useful, leave the rest</h4><p>Regular, easy, consistent testing will, however, definitely help some students. Help them stay motivated and help them see their progress.</p><p>But if it does the opposite&#8230; I encourage you to just move on! &#8220;Take what&#8217;s useful, leave the rest&#8221; is great advise in life and language-learning. Please do not under any circumstances get discouraged and rundown because of the results of this test. That&#8217;s an order!<br>Whatever allows you to *keep going* is the most important thing of all. </p><div><hr></div><p><strong>&#9989; These Monthly Level-Tests are not designed to be comprehensive and arduous, but a quick, simple (dare I say&#8212;fun?!) window into how your French is doing. </strong></p><p>All the colloquial phrases were included in this month&#8217;s dialogues, so it keeps you accountable and fits in a bit of review as well.</p><p><strong>Instructions:</strong> Choose the best answer for each question. Mark your answers and use the scoring guide at the end to determine your level. Simple.</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>&#128066;&#127995; Compr&#233;hension orale</strong></h4><p><em>Ecoutez le extrait suivant et r&#233;pondez aux questions qui suivent.</em></p><div class="native-audio-embed" data-component-name="AudioPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;label&quot;:null,&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;ee8ea9b0-ea42-40ef-b500-0b13c2f06736&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:22.256327,&quot;downloadable&quot;:false,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p><strong>Question 1:</strong> Qui a &#233;crit la lettre?</p><p>a) Marie<br>b) Pierre<br>c) L'ami de Pierre<br>d) Le fr&#232;re de Marie</p><p><strong>Question 2:</strong> O&#249; vit Pierre?</p><p>a) En France<br>b) En Italie<br>c) Dans le quartier de Marie<br>d) Il n'est pas mentionn&#233;</p><p><strong>Question 3:</strong> Qu'est-ce que Pierre a h&#226;te de faire?</p><p>a) De d&#233;m&#233;nager en France<br>b) De revoir Marie<br>c) De changer de quartier<br>d) De lire une lettre</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>&#128203; Grammaire et vocabulaire</strong></h4><p><strong>Question 4:</strong> Compl&#233;tez la phrase: "Je te tiens au courant d&#232;s que..."</p>
