Practice Questions
Instructions
Individual, exam-style questions
The questions contained in this booklet match the style of questions that are typically asked
in exams. This booklet is not however, a practice exam. Elevate’s research with top students
identified that top students do more practice questions than anyone else. They begin the
process of testing their knowledge early in the year.
Therefore, we have provided exam-format questions that are sorted by topic so that you can
answer them as you learn the information, rather than waiting until the very end of the year to
complete exams.

L’afrique et le futur de la langue français
Le français, une langue parlée mondialement depuis le XVIème siècle, se trouve aujourd’hui
dans une situation effrayante. Elle assiste à sa disparition progressive face à l’anglais, le
langage universel du XXème siècle. Le problème de l’omniprésence de l’anglais et de la
culture anglo-américaine semblait inévitable pour les nombreuses langues européennes
depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Selon Clara Gaymard, l’ambassadrice française à
l’investissement international, l’anglais est désormais devenu la langue d’affaires en Europe.
Sans une compétence en anglais, les individus qui travaillent dans la main-d’oeuvre sont
nettement désavantagés.

effrayante: terrifying
