French B2 · Build an argument and add nuance
A first lesson to get started. The full learning path is being prepared. This activity does not award any certification.
Your turnWhat to understand
Start by stating your opinion: “À mon avis…” (in my opinion). Then give specific reasons that support your position.
“D’une part” and “d’autre part” organise two arguments. “Cependant” introduces a qualification: a difficulty or limitation worth considering.
A nuanced conclusion restates the main idea while accounting for the limitation. Here, transport services should match local needs. These arguments belong to a practice text.
Example in French
À mon avis, il faut développer les transports en commun. D’une part, ils peuvent réduire le nombre de voitures en circulation. D’autre part, ils facilitent les déplacements des personnes qui ne conduisent pas. Cependant, leur fréquence reste parfois insuffisante dans les zones rurales. Il faut donc adapter l’offre aux besoins de chaque territoire.Your turn
