BP: When we did the sports people, you liked that

M: And I liked doing the j^,aime and je n'aime pas, I found that pretty easy, and about
the age, about when we did the ages

BP: With the numbers

M: Yeah, I found that pretty easy as well
BP: So most of it

M: And some subjects I found hard because I didn't understand and I got some wrong
in my French book

BP: Which were those do you remember

M: I remember I did I set it out, about the colours. First before you came we were
doing colours and we had to write the colours in the xx and I did it the wrong way
BP: Well we all make mistakes nobody is perfect, when you get to next year you'll do
the colours again and then you can revise it again ... you hear them again you learn
them next time round, no problem

M: I can't remember the other subjects though

BP: You probably did quite a lot because you were learning all year weren't you...do
you think you are doing well in French

M: Yeah

BP: What makes you say that

M: Because I think because I've been, I understand a lot of things and I can say it
properly

BP: Which is good if you can understand a lot isn't it... good news....do you want to say
anything else...you’re happy...good, merci.
